ABOUT CREAL SPRINGS.


Editor Buie tin,
The history of this town deals largely in
the marvellous and is without a parallel in
onr state history, Nine months have not
elapsed since the first house here was be-
gun; now we have 1S0 buildings, over 400
permanent inhabitants and 150 invalids
and visitors. We have accommodations for
all corners two frst-cass hotels and board
ing houses at least a score throw open their
doors 20 the public. Besides these, We have
thirteen business houses, two drugs stores
one church and an Odd Fellows hall. A
pretty good showing, this, for less than
nine months.
The atmosphere here is remarkably pure
-uuexcelled in the Mississippi Valley, aud
this fact is the first commented upon by all
new ccmers. The country is billy and the
town site is on one Of the highest points of
land in the state. People from the prairles
and river counties appreciate this fact and
flock here by hundreds during the heated
term. Cairo has been well represented here
this season. Among the recent arrivals
from your city are Mrs. II. Walker an d
family, at Cooks East Tide Hotel. AT
Browns Hotel were Mrs. NJ. j Howley and
family, Mrs. NJ. Fitzgerald and family,
Mrs. Sheehao, G. Lancaster and family, Z.
G. Barclay, Judge Bross End b. Jefferson.
Both these hotels are first-class and charges
unusually moderate
Passengers from Cairo reach here via the
Wabash road, leaving at New Burnside
station, which is but five miles from Springs
CLOSE connection with the cars made
twice day.
The "boom" the place received by the
discovery of the mineral springs will be
intensified next season. DR.. Kccley, OF
Dwight, Ill.,, late surgeon U. S. Army, last
week purchased two acres Of land adjoin'
ing Browns Hotel, on which he will build

the grounds have been made and the hospi-
tai will be finished by the lst Agust. A
large brick hotel, to cost $4,000, is to be
erected IN time for next seasons business.
Cairo parties bought band on which to put
up six neat cottages, which will be rented,
and several gentlemen from abroad have
made arrangements for handsome private
residences foI their families. Altogether,
the outlook is propetious, and we confident
ly expect to boast a population of thou
sand souls within twelve months.

porter met them yesterday, they were
squatting on the corner of Twelfth and

every pore; by turns taking glance at the
printed ordinances which said "north side
of Eleventh, between Washington street

heads and wlping their brows and flaming
themselves nervously with their hats and
looking about in a dazed sort of way. In
reply to the question uttered Simultaneous

that it must be a new name given to Com

With heart Of expectation
We boarded the morning train,
To halt at Vienna station
In the midst Of a pelting rain.
Down It came with a mighty force
Az we stood on the platform-'ave
"Hackmanl" we cried In voices hoarse
Then oh my gracious, what ride'
Hills and fence rails we rattlei o'or
On-on In mad career;
TIL one tuRbled out and left us four;
-Four faces aghast with fearl
And so we clung to the rckety hack
With the grip Of a drowning man.
A crash as OF thunder and ah alackl
A loved one gone with our palm leaf FAM
Lodged In bush-a prlckly thorn
lie sat with woe begone face;
Fanning--we found him early next morn
Fast to the brlers-a gloomy easel
Three only emaincd-Dixon bound,
And OH We held on with will;
(rhe third was left ona mossy mound
Down at the falls, clos, by the mill)
Two trembling girls with hair on end
Now clung to each other In woe;
But soon naughty wind did send
One nylng-m my, she looked like dough
A louoly female 80 agha't
As the hack reached DIXON Springs;

4 HaJ Storm IN Kentucky.

The Henderson KY, News of the
2Ist inst, tells of terrible hail
storm that passed over portion of
Henderson county Wednesday, the
18Th, destroying crops and killing
hogs and fowls. The storm came
i'm the nature of a cloud burst, and
was the heaviest fall of hail that
the oldest inhabitant of that COM
munity can call To mind. The fol-
lowing is what Mr.. Elisha Williams
of the Zion neighborhood, where
the storm was worst, told News
reporter. Mr.. Williams is the IA
Their of Mrs. iMcCulloch of this
city:
"Why sir, l am graduate in the
school of accidents and casualties"
said Mr.. Williams =" Floods, Sol
diers, DrOuths, Cyclones and Hail
have visited me most roughly; but
this hail business lays everything
else in the shade. | had, last We'd
uesday, 5000 bushels of corn and %
acres in tobacco hailed into the
earth, to say nothing of my garden
and vineyard and great loss of or
chard trees and timber trees" Con
tinuing Mr.. Williams said the rain
fall amounted to 81 inches in two
hours aud that the hail was the av-
eFage size of Gqineaegg and in
some places WAS piled up against
the fence to the depth of 4 feet and
in the hOllOws 3 feet deep.
81 ask nothing for myself said
Mr.. Williams, II am used to work
ing out of bad scrapes, but there
are Iuany who need helped and
need it badly. Take Esquire Con-
way, for instance, he is over 40
years of age, but he had by his
own manual work made Il good
crop of tobacco and corn, while his
aged vile done the cOOksng-nOw
he hasn't the Vestige of a crop left.
Then there are GrOtOn Trader and
Ham. COOksey, most deserving men |
who were stripped of everything i'll

nately they are not SO circumstanced
as to stand the loss"

Another ootogenarlan Passed Away,

Mrs. Nancy A. Smith, the object
of this notice, was born in Rock
ingham county, North Carolina, in
the year 1900; removed to this
county in 1905; was married to
James N. Smith in 1923, and died,
August 3, 1888.
Her recollections and associations,
therefore, extended back to the pi-
oneer days of our county when the
smoke from the wigwams of the ma
tive savages had scarcely been dis
PEELED from the wide forests of our
country. In her truly domestic
and VirtuOus character, She passed
long life, devoted to her iulfllment
OF every duty, is IL christian, wife,
mother and Il neighbor These
christian and domestic energies, so
ennObling to woman, happily in
creased with her years to the last.
In the language of solomon "she
looked well to the ways of her
household and ate not the bread of
idleness. Strength and honor were
her clothing, that she might rejoice
in time to come"
No imbeciiity of mind or deficien-
cy in memory attended her physi-
cal decline. In the hour of her dis
solution her mind was as strong and
unclouded as in the bloom of her
womanhoOd ; and fully recognizing
that her end had come, her energies,
in this trying hour appeared so in
creased as to make il the most val
liable hour of her life to those loved
ones she was leaving behind her
soul appeared filled with the Holy
Ghost, her faith IN Christ growing
brighter, and brighter, as she neared
the portals of eternity; giving un-
doubted evidence, to her weeping
of the truth of christian
ity; that their separation was not
eternal, and that by a christian
walk in life they would meet again.
She attached herself TO the M. e.
Church, and bore the cross of Christ,
with meekness for forty years, Il
and exemplary member.

exhibition could not be beat by any

by partial organic rtiOn, in SO short
time in an inpromptS way, how
much more may they accomplish

spirit inspired, be kept alive and
that our farmers have another exhi.

when stock will be i'm better cOndi-
ton and everything ready when
the fine cattle can be brought out,
and extended notice given.
