C. W. Stone and Edward Woods have been working in the timber and getting out wood for the summer, they cutting and sawing wood mak ing it ready for use, these days when there is little else to do. They are both hustlers and if the winter is long enough they will have enough wood to last over the summer. Many of the people of Nehawka who have not as yet harvested their ice crop are feeling as though they will have to go short this time as the second crop has been washed out of the creek and they fear notwith standing the ground hog they will have enough cold weather yet this season to freeze more ice. We think their fears are groundless, but still they may be iceless. Frank P.
