PERRY BRANCH | R. H. SHORT Maiacen Tother day green peas in the pod was s sellin Tere at st. 25 for a 'leven quart basket, and there no denyin the fact that it did seem like pretty dear eatin, and an awful lot of folks done without green peas, they not feelin like climbin up ter the price . It begins ter look as though we was goin ter have ter raise our own garden truck or go without. If the wimmin folks and the farmers ever gets ter keepin books, there's a hull lot of things won't be growed--they ain't payin. There ain't no doubt that a spell of bookkeepin 'ud do most farmers good. They'd get rid of a lot of jobs that there ain't been no money in, and us small city folks 'ud have ter look elsewhere fer our berries and garden sass and the like. Hay's a great crop in these parts, and mebbe I'll be able ter feed the old mare her proper rashuns this winter, instead feedin her chopped oat straw as I had ter last winter. The rheumatiz ain't so bad these days. Yer Ma is as busy asd nailer; and the chances is" that 'we'll' get thiee squire meals a day fer some time ter come, as there's enough fruit and vegetables being canned in this house to feed a emaH army. Give my love ter all the folks.

It is a pity that the persons who did the damage could not be cleaned and repaired, too. i The following letter was re- ceived through Mr. Wm. Smith, M.P.; in answer to a letter from Mr. Jas.
