Instead uf division fences the farmers made ditches extending a-loiig farm lines to the river. Into these ditches, the farmers drained the surface water.

The expense at first was more than fencing bub the benefits are permanent. Dr. Kesner was a goud feliow to be out with on that route. He knew every one and claimed to he related to nearly every one that owned a good farm and that was nearly everybody. One place, a deserted log house, was the dearest spot on eartii where he once courted a red-headed maid but it seems that the ot her fellow got her.

The most affecting incidents of the chiy were the many hearty and most Sincere congratulations heaped upon the doctor that he succeeded in getting through with his late trouble and can continue bis practice.
