By looking around over this com-
munity and listening to people talk
it' is hard to tell whether “Dan is the
Man" or “Ma is the Woman.” Jt looks
like it will be one or the other, from

munity and every county may not feel

this section have been cut ami are in
the shocks awaiting the threshers to

to have kept up with their crops an i
