The oldest man in my home district is a man the name of Edwarde Harte, who is about the age of seventy-six years. Another man the name of John Lougheed, who was ninety one years, died recently, was the oldest man in the place. The oldest woman in my home district, is a woman the name of Mrs. Monghan, who is eighty-one years. Most of the people in my home district are farmers.
- Proverbs. 25-3-'38.
A friend in need is a fried indeed.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A rolling stone never grows moss.
A bird in your hand is worth two in the bush.
Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

Deep waters run smooth.
The hills far off, often look green.
It's too late spare, when all is spent(continues on next page) - Collector
