Did Not See a Robin But Heard One and Knows It.

i Rev. C. W. Post Sill’s word for anything he wants to vouch for will hardly be questioned and he is certain he heard a robin's voice this morning. He was unable to locate the red breasted harbinger of spring but will stake his reputa- : tion as a minister that he made ho mistake in interpreting the feath- ' ered Warbler. Betwixt the prognostication of the groundhog, the report of grasshoppers at Petersburg and the voice of a robin here we are surely right in line for spring weather. Even the Mds are out with a sack of “commies'’ and the game of “keeps” is popular with the long Angered lads who can pelck ’em out of the ring a dozen feet away. It is time any how to follow John Holden’s suggestion to get the porch boxes made, locate the hoe and rake and get the lawnmower in working condition.
