PHYSICIANS AND PREACHERS &.

PHYSICIANS AND PREACHERS.
Grenada Sentinel
Out of six physicians at the outbreak Of
the fever here, two only remain, DR.. Ray
and DR.. Gage. Out of three preachers who
faced ithe disease all through, one remains.
What an appalling commentary upon its
fearful ravages, do these facts present. Hall,
Hughes, Gillespie and Ringgold, all good
and true men, able and skillful in their
of humanity, and fearless eAemplaTs of
Christian charity and duty, sleep now
amongst the honored dead.
In justice of Mr.. Dye, the Methodist
preacher. let US say, that at the out break of
the fever, he was absent, by leave of his
church, with mis- family to recuperate his
broken health, and in that condition, his
return would have been selt-immolation
and no more, for he could have done no
good. The Presbyterian minister, Mr.. Nc
Campbell, although whitened with the
frost of many winters, entered upon the
work Of relieving the sick, and comforting
the dying, with that calm, Christian faith,
which for years he had displayed before the
people and the church in this town. He
fell at his post like the aged Christian
warrior, full OF years, full of hOnOTs and
full of hope that his end had come at the
right time and the right place.
Mr.. Haddick, the Baptist minister, was
on leave of absence too, from his congre-
=
the fever at Grenada, and we have learned,
that at or about the same time he received
letter from one or more of the leading
members of his church, to stay away as he
he could do the church (Which had nearly
all tled) or the people no good. But to his
high Christian courage and noble sense of
duty, such counsel, though given in sinceri-
ty, seemed jesting with his holy calling. his
exemplary life his constant teachings, and
as swift as steam could bring him, he came
back to the scene OF his labors, and remained
with the little remnant of his flock admin
istering to them and all others that came in
his way, until he too fell with his harness
on, full of the inspiration of his Divine
Master.
OF Mr.. McCracken, Rector of All Saints
Church, what shall we say? He lives vet,
spared monument of the fell destroyer.
But if unremitting service to the sick, the
dying and the dead, as well as the living
who have survived the plague, constitute
claims of gratitude, long years will come
and go in the future e'er the people of our
town will forget the service of this fearless
though loving Christian minister. May the
protecting angel of mercy shield him for
many years to come, to enforce the solem u
truths and practice the Christian virtues
which he has so earnestly displayed dur ing
the awful trials OF the last few weeks.

A Strange Case,

About three weeks ago a man, who gave

he was passing Mr.. Jimmy Little's place,

came up, and was granted shelter nom it.
While here he announced that he was no
tramp, but was seeking employment, and
offered TO work for his board temporarily,
which Mr.. Little accepted. -Four or five
days passed, during which tsme he applied
himself as faithfully TO work as he seemed
capable, when he was taken sick. He had
labored under some ply steal pain or defect,
as his Iimping gate or an occasional groan
indicated. After frequent observation of
his movements, Mr.. Little became con-

him, and questioned him upon the subject.

that the female teachers III the public

which employ more men than women,
pay the same salary for the same work
to both sexes; and Idaho, Nevada, and
Arizona report the same custom. Ne

pays her teachers 800 56 per month :;
and in Arizona, where the schools are all
of primary grade, and the larger por-

NeatueSS in Farming.

Nothing gives evidence of thrift and
enterprise in farming better than keep
ing everything in order. There are
times when even the most painstaking
men are compelled to let things 60 some
what at loose ends, but upon the first
occasion Of spare time and due diligence
thereafter, the wonted appearance of
things about the premises returns. AT
the cost of little time and labor when
required, the appearance OF an untdy
farm may be so improved as to add con
siderably to its value, and the price OBJ
tanned in the event of a sale. The
contrast between neat and slovenly kept
farms represents more in a pecunlary
point of view, very often, than is
generally supposed Take farm which
by its appearance shows clean culture,
from which stumps and bushes have been
removed, the buildings kept in repair,
the fences and gates in order, the rubbish
kept from the roadside and fence corners,
the tools housed when not in use, and
the stock exhibiting evidence of good
care and attention, and in the event OF
! its purchase it will bring relatively much
more than one equally fertile, but kept
in a sovenly way. Weedy fields, tum-
ble-doWn fences, gates with broken hinges,
buildings out of repair, implements scat

HORSE STEALING.
world.

A valuable span of horses belonging to
Sohn Martin, a colored man, were stolen
from his premises, near the John Thompson
farm, in this county, on Saturday night last.
No clue as yet as to the direction taken by
the thieves. The horses cost Mr.. Martin
$275.00 two days previous to the theft
This horse stealing will go on until some Of
these horse fancying gentry wear compulsory
hempen collars. We trust the ~rascals in
this instance will ultimately feel the weight
of the strong hand Of law.
Since the above was written we are in
formed that Mr.. Martin has recovered his
horses. A pursuing party overlook two men
riding the horses near Meckling, Clay coun-
ty. As the party approached, the men
abandoned the horses and started off on foot.
The horses were taken in charge, and the
pursuers returned without making any
effort to capture the men.

TIT ELK HORN VALLEY.

A Valuable Trade Which Should he secur.
ed by Yankton.
We received a call on Saturday from O.
P. Hurford, of Oakdale, Antelope county,
Nebraska, where he owns a. large mill. and
is extensively engaged in the manufacture
of flour. Oakdale is situated on the Elk
Horn river, and is about seventy miles
south of Yankton, and the same distance
moth Of Columbus. At present nearly all
the trade Of that fertile and we'll settled val.
ley goes to Columbus; but it is Mr.. Hur.
ford's opinion that a slight effort
on the part Of the business men
of Yankton would bring q large
majority of that trade to this city. He
Is decidedly in favor of having the trade of
that region come in this direction for the
reasons that the distance is no greater, that
the road is 40 excellent natural one, and
that all the repairs needed can be made at a
cost not to exceed $50, that -four and wheat
bring as good a price, and lumber is sold
cheaper and general merchandise fully as
cheap here Is at Columbus.
A tri-weekly mail is demanded between
Yankton and Oakdale. The route would
pass through q fine agricultural country,
which already contains q considerable po.
pulation, and is daily being increased BY
the arrival of immigrants from the east.
These people would be better accommodate
ed BY a mail between these points than from
any other direction.
We refer this matter to the Yankten
chamber Of commerce, and suggest that
that body take immediate steps to secure to
Yankton the trade of the Elk Horn valley
and intervening country, and to bring to
the notice of the proper department the need
ofa mail route between Yankton and Oak.
