contribute something to its columns, l
will try and write q few lines concern
ing the people aud things of the small
cityl?) of Saltwater.
A few of the farmers have their
corn gathered /; it is turning out very
weIl-generally forty bushels to the
acre.
We have church at the Saltwater
chool house every two weeks, Sunday
evenings, conducted by Rev. Mr..
Squires, of Clay county.
W. H. Middleton, Of Illinois, is
teaching the aehool in District No. 81.
Z. Craw is teaching the Saltwater
school. We were 10 to visit his school
not long since. 1t is very interesting,
but not very large. The parents are
very we'll satisfied, and say their chill
dren learned their letters in . day and
. half. Miss A. E. Smith is teaching
in MI. Finny's district. They have
. new school house there. 1t will be
quite comfortable when plastered it
has four large windows in it.
A. c. Teel. brother Of Charles A.
Teel, from Illinois, has taken . claim
on section Z, northwest quarter.
A. Wells arm is improving con-
siderably. He can use it some ; ex-
cept the last two.6ngers, which he cau.
not use on account of the cords being

ising to do better next time.

chooses such original themes; and
then, hampered by so difficult a form

remarkable:

So sweetly MARBLE, OF 90 smoothly
