We had pleasant trip to Elwooa, last wcek-dis-
patched to come Immediately sooner, to look after
the welfare Of our grandson, who about to make
his advent into this world. His father, James H.

The arrival Of this parsonage took place in the hot
test summer month, being August LIST, 1873 season
long to be remembered by the oldest settlers be-

1t is supposed that company could make an ever
lasting fortune out of the gumbo in Ewood bottom.

Stopped of at Trey, on Friday, and must say that
the st. Joseph and Denver Road has Of the neat
est depots that Road, and Wheeler, the agent,
knows just how to keep things in order Has place
for everything and everything in its place The Of
fee room is nicely carpeted, neat and clean !; the
waiting room is large, and well ventilated seats to
lounge while waiting for trains. We are not
prsed at the Company retaining Mr.. Wheeler long
agent, for better for that position could
be found But after ALL he is of Doniphans good
boys We have much spoken of.
As We started up the street, recognized q voice
from the opposite side saying "Hello! where are you
goinsr We walked over, and found Robert Tracy
ensconced in neat office, busy answering letters of
correspondents. In their large pine lumber trade,
Tracy & Leland are doing heavy business We
took stroll with Mr.. Tracy through the lumber
yard and they have all kinds of lumber and shingles
and at such low prices that astonished u.s. had
been to Atchison and other places pricing lumber,
and it is fact that they can and do cell lumber
twenty to twenty-five per cent cheaper than at Atch
ison, any other place outside Of St. Louis. Mr..
Tracy has thanks for map Of this County, pre-
sentcd to us-one of the most correct and complete
maps ever got up in the County. Persons wishing
good map of the County, should call on Bob.
While the train stopped but a few minutes at Wa
erin-law, Mr. Day, with cordial shake of remem-
brance of other days.
The first dead mule we ever saw, lies across the
road near James Cummings, on the Rock Creek road.
If any person has lost mule, it would be well to
post norton that fellow.
If the herd law includes geese, We are in for it,
much for hogs.
The building known rs Bremen Hall is undergoing
repairs; new roof etc.
This is great season for honey. Why don't some
of our friends bring us some! We like sweet things
we do.
w. ID. Stewart is building our new bridge across
the branch below town, which will be crossable in q
day or two. His family have been sick for several
days, which hinders more rapid completion of the
bridge Jack works as hard Is any of his employees.
Fifteen hundred bushels of blsckberries have been
gathered from the bluffs. 1t is q mystery to why
Lexington goes blaekberryins every morning, when
his wife says she has enough.
Old Pap Neese has several barrels of hard cider,
that has kick in it than any mule in the coun

fruit cans, and still has wagon load left for peach
es and other canning fruits.
Doc. Clark, route agent the A. & n. mail train,
has been laying of for about week. Went on again

FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.
w. ID. Stewart is performing some desirable
pairs on our city bridges. We hope citizens will
realize the advantage in having Trustee who is at
tentive to business, and effects more improvements
with less cost than any person who has previously
filed the Office.
We observe number of advertisements, from
Troy, in which the physicians give the of the
college and number Of the class in which they gradu
ated We think it would be well flour laws required
this the production of diploma, from every prac-
titioner of medicine; then would not be imposed
upon by worthless quacks, who obtain our money
without equivalent and often terminate the exis
tence of their victims.
Every desire for blackberries is fully gratfed, and
still they abound in large quantities 1t is serpris
ing to behold the fragments Of calico and wilted pa
per collars left in the patches. We out once,
and found something that was very nice-one fellow
was quite sure it not q sleeve-holder, and
person knew the owner of the article it left at
suitable place, for public inspection.
Let all of US remember that there great deal of
sickness in town, and can bestow kindest con-
sderation and attention to good purpose There is
no better evidence of generosity, better display
of kindly deeds and Christian graces than nantes
tation of remembrance and sympathy toward the af-
ficted.
We admit that our town is dilapidated and forlorn
and its general appearance is like unto the peaked
end of despair Notwithstanding all this, some peo
pie who endowed with vast amount of intcll
gence and high culture reside in and around Don-
phan. One hoary man, whom time has carried al
most to the verge Of eternity, who wears Deep
worn lines upon his brow, boasts that there is only
one thing in arithmetic that he does not compre-
bend, and that is long division"
In due time, proposition will be made to remove
our cslabooee to more popular location aud rent il
for '.barber shop" said rent to be expended for
and a graded school.
HAPPYIGO-LUCKY.
