I. ‘ , Brought Back Monstrous Tubers From the West—Had Fine Trip. Mr. and Mrs. Sol Norman returned -last week to their home- in Union township from a five week’s trip to Washington and Idaho. They enjoyed the trip thoroughly and had the pleas--ure of meeting a number of former jpitizens of this city and county. At Spokane they visited hfs * brother, Samuel H. Norman and family. They live on a farm near that city. In- Spokane they saw Lew Thornton and family, Theo. Lang and mother and sisters. Vernie Thornton, Sol Fendig, Ed Hopkins Hale Grant and John | Philbaum. At Valley, Idaho, they visited with her brother, James Adair, and there he spent some time Nhunting fpr deer and bear but did not get a shot at either. He brought home some deer hides, however, which he was able to purchase. He also brought home some big potatoes, two of which he brought from Idaho and which weighed 2% and 2% pounds each. They are clear in color, of smooth surface, solid and Mr. Nprman says, of fine flavor. He also brought home several almost as large raised by Sana near Spokane. Asked how Sam was getting along Sol replied, “Very well; making a good living, but possibly no better off than he "would have been If be had remained in Jasper county.” That is often the case. If our friends who are so desirous of getting away, would stick right here in Jasper and work as hard its they have to in a country, they would be just as well off generally and some times a lot bettfer off.
