But m.v > men. a children have smiled and wept and gone since he bought the clock from C. C. Cooley tmek there in 1373. Some of yours and mine are num bered among them "Jaat any time, if you’ll be still and listen, the old clock will tell you a wonderfully beautiful st >ry of fraternal love and charity, of how for several years the Pythian b>dg- of Brownsville has cared f >r thia aged man.

Plan Military Tourney Well we landed here all right last August. We had a nice warm winter, and 1 havn't neen one foggy dav since we came here. 1 have quite a garden, but one must use quite a lot of fertilizer as Seaside is built on sand, no such soil a« you have in Scio. Living is much high er here than there. Coal is $16 per ton. wood $5 00 for s small load and everything In proportion. I go clamming once in awhile, but would starve to death If I had to depend on that for a living. We do not like Seaside as well as Scio, but my wife and I have both regained our health and that is worth a wnole lot to u» both. Hope you are well. Very Truly Yours. George Merdian, Seaside.
