Sad News.

A telegram was received from Wichita
last Thursday announcing the death of
little Paul, son of r. p. Murdoch, of
the Wichita Eagle. Dir. Murdoch was
long u resident of this city, and has
many friends here and IN the vicinity
who will be grieved 10 learn of his sad
bereavement. Little Paul was bright
and promising child aged about two
years. His death will fall with heavy
force upon the devoted parents, and
both relatives and friends will extend
that deep sympathy which such strokes
of sorrow produce among kindred and
friends. Noble souls in nature are
allied" and all we can do in such an
hour is TO offer the heart sympathizing
language.

Any sort of work is treadmill affair
We perform one round just in lime TO
begin another. So whatever our work
may be, we are going round and round
over the same ground. The printer, for
instance, gets out one paper just in time
to begin the work of setting up another.
So with the writer. He is going round
all the time. How can any one go 9TH
erwise in this round world?
Our last round took us over Cofey,
Woodson, Allen and Anderson counties.
We found the farmers hopefully plow-
ing and planting everywhere. a wide
acreage of corn is already planted.
Early planting seems to be the rule this
season. The farmers of Woodson, AL
len and Anderson are sowing some oats.
The fear of chinch bugs prevents many
from sowing oats at all. What wheat
there is looks promising, but the chinch
bug is abroad in the land, and may turn
the beautiful green into sickly yellow.
The peaches and cherries are not all
killed. Apple orchards now promise
an abundant crop.
The towns are improving. some of
them largely. lola is enjoying unpre-
cedented growth. The new railroad is
waking up everybody and everything
around there. The business of the
town has struck a boom.
Colony is improving great deal.
Among the most important improve
ments there, we note the Baptist church,
which is being erected. The Colonies
now read their own Free Press, and the
| witches have subsidized.
