FOUR CORNERS.

Homer Fisher is working for Geo. Hopsline this summer. Orville Fisher has gone over to a suffragette, body and soul, and moved on a farm northeast of Kersey. Miss Ethel Ilibbs, who has been sick for several months, was able to walk over to Mr. Turner's one day last week. D. H. Turner, we are glad to say, is now able to sit up the greater part of the time, and it' no complications comes up will get along O. K. The farmers are getting anxious to get their teams in the fields and their oats in the ground. A few will commence sowing this week, George Stemble has sold his lumber yard at Wheatfield to William Helmiok, who will now have full control of the lumber business there. Ted Keen will work for George Myers this season. George will continue his work as agent for the C. & E. I. and Ted will run the farm. J. A. Hixson and wife returned home from Fowler Monday eve, after spending a week visiting their two daughters, Mrs. Frank Cones and Mrs. Guy F. Barnard. The patrons of the Wheatfield postoflice are all worked up over the possibility of the office being gobbled up by our friend of the “Review,” one of the Murphy faithfuls, so to speak. Well, why don’t some of you get busy? There is sortie higherups than Murphy or Peterson either. If you should show up conditions as they will bo should this calamity befall the patrons of the office and rural route, it might yet be changed, for you can see what great expense there will be, in changing the interior of the office. The roof would also have to be altered and a skylight Substituted so as to “let a little Sunshine in.” And then, suppose while the P. M. was busy distributing the mail, the fire alarm should sound? The P. M. would have to take charge and the people would be obliged to call again in the afternoon for their mail. But the I*. M. would be so completely tired out after the strenuous work in putting out the fire that one would be obliged to enter the office on tiptoe and ask for his or her mail with a please-oan-I-get-my-mail tone.
