THE McKenzie boys had their new1 barn raising on Tuesday last, and al- though we fully intended to respond to a cordial invitation to be present the showers of the afternoon prevented us going.

The barn was to be raised by the block and tackle method, and as few good men are required’we hope our absence would not interfere with the comple- tion of the job.
