The new year of 1881, finds nearly
everybody in every occupation OF life,
in this part of the great republic, striv-
ing with increased zeal and renewed
vigor. The mechanics noisy hammer,
the sound of which can be heard al
most everywhere, proclaims the fact
that our little town is not dull, nor
lacks for enterprise. The farmers are
very busy preparing land and plant
ing corn. The lovely, rejuvenatng
springtime produces feeling of good
cheer with everybody. Beautiful sun
shine, I like thy genial warmth beau
full flowers, / delight to mingle with
thee and breathe thy rich fragrance.
This is a very pretty little place
pleasantly located on the Texas and
St. Louis railway in a somewhat hiliy
. country, and has about 500 Inhabitants.
We have three we'll organized and lib
. orally sustained churches and two

scholars, and one for the preparatory
f class. They are crowded TO overflow
