try it sometime. I am going down to Dykemans after some more apples. I am still making more patchwork Pa is in a hurry for me to set it together, so he can see how its going to look. I am using up all my pieces so thats a good idea. when it gets so that I can sit up in the back chamber I shall begin on more rugs. Pa has a lot of old pants he often speaks of giving them away but I dont know of any one but would be insulted with such a donation & before they are eaten up by moths I am going to braid them up. There is a new two story house going up on Elgin Street opposite Rockwoods, in back of Tony Perchedreks barn. a funny place for such a large house  I suppose they got the land reasonable but I fear it may be some time before they sell it, built by out of town parties. They had a town meeting night before last & voted for an eighty thousand dollar schoolhouse. this is the year the sewerage is going to start in, so guess taxes will be higher than ever. well it cant be stopped this is all there is for this time
