Dewey and family last Saturday and Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Dewey and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dewey took an auto trip via Burrows’ camp, Kouts and Baum’s Bridge last Sunday. Henry Henrichs. one of our local thrashermen, began thrashing Mon day, at Mr. Rice’s place, east of Kniman. Henry has thrashed on this run for years and has always done the work in first-class manner. Billy' McNeil pulled his binder with a Ford this year. No matter how hot it got or how thick and tangled the grain was, the “little black cuss’" kept a-pushing right along. Verily, the harvest passed off like one sweet song. Next year Billy is going to install a phonograph on the Ford and as the sweet strains of “Bringing in the Sheaves” echo through the vicinity air will be forced to say; “Blessed is the man that has a Ford, for he can sing at harvest time.”
