Surplus Vegetables May Be Shared With Less Fortunate.

Many of the gardens in the east part of town were drowned out and entirely ruined. Many families had expected to raise enough potatoes and other vegetables to last through the winter and extra to sell, but they were ruined by the rains and the loss is considerable. In some parts of town where the ground was higher not much damage was felt and many have a surplus of peas, beans ,cabbage, etc., and will be glad to give aid to those who have lost so extensively. If those who have a surplus will notify Mrs. A. P. Burton arrangements can be made to utilize the garden surplus.
