The suit against tho local box

lation of a contract to take' logs
at a stated prlco from 480 acres,
which plaintiffs, under contract with

contract plaintiffs claim they were
damaged to tho extent of $110,000.

Much enthusiasm Is boles arous

bo held In tho chamber of com
merce rooms Thursday of neit

Mrs. W. O. Smith has long been
rocognlted an authority on sweet

swoct pea growers to send in as
many entries as possible, for It ls
at this time that tho , flower la

Although the rose season has

Mrs. Fred Baker perhaps knows
our local wild, tlowors as well as
anyone in the county and sho Is
