Letter from Correspondent Of the NEWS
Darlington, Mo-, May 7, 1883.
Mr.. Editor-Let me speak through
the columns of your paper for Gen
try county, Missouri. After we have
went through with a hard, cold win
ter, spring has opened out warm and
dry. Oats and grass look well, but
wheat does not look so we'll. Farm
ers are mostly all done planting corn.
Gentry county is still improving by
way Of railroads, towns, churches,
and schoolhouses. A large portion
of the county is now fenced and the
land in cultivation, and the farms
are now dotted over with fine white
houses.
l came to this county in 1865,
was then broken down with sickness
which l had contracted at Vicks-
burg while in the service of my
country. But since coming to this
country my health has greatly i'm
proved.
For number Of years have been
a reader Of rhe HIGHLAND News and
it seems to me like getting a letter
from home every week. After spend
ing my youthful days and the prime
of my life in Highland and Adams
counties, l cannot do well without
your excellent paper, I find the
time Of my subscription has expired.
Please send the paper on.
Lewis Campbell.

high rank, and now, at the age Of 58
is seriously talked Of as Republican
candidate for Governor. No man in
the State has a better record, no one
could fn the place better 1t would
be a pleasure TO vote for a man
whose whole life has been character
lied By integrity and straight forward
progress; who does things because
they are right and is not forever
apprehensiye as to the influence they
may have on securing the object Of
his ambition; who does not pay men
to interview him for publication, but
moves on in the even tenor of his
ways, filling all the positions to
which he is elected with honor, and
fitting himself for any thing to which
he may be called. Such a man is
Judge Foraker, and if any one can
carry the Republican party through,
it is he.

RUFORD.

The BufOrd schoolhOuse is certainly the
most advertised schoolhouse in Highland
county, as this makes the third time it has
been advertised for sale. If the third time
is the charm it will go through, but the
bidders must be careful to cross all their is
and dot all their i's lest there be another
misdeal.
Mrs. StrattOn, wife of Louis Stratton,
died on Sunday morning, April 29th, after
a lingering illness of several months. At
her own request made several weeks before
her death, a post mortem examination was
made on her remains, and her disease
found to be cancer of the stomach. Mrs.
Stratton was q good woman, and highly
esteemed by all who knew her She bore
her sufferings with Christian fortitude, and
died in the triumph of living faith. The
little ones she leaves behind have the sym
pathy of their friends and neighbors in
this sad afliction.
Labor is very scarce in this part of the
county, judging from the number of young
men we see daily engaged in pitching
horse shoes on our streets. We are certain
that they do not make business of pitch
ing horse Shoes because they don't like to
work They are industrious, hard working
young men, for none but industrious, hard
working young men would pitch horse
shoes in the broiling hot sun from morn
until night, day in and day out. They en-
gage in this gymnastic exercise just to keep
their muscles properly developed, so that
when some one comes along and offers
them job they will be prepared to do il
justice.

II is refreshing to see the political
vane Of the Republican party in Ohio
pointing to so worthy, pure and able
a man as Judge Foraker, Of Cincin-
natl, for its nominee for Governor
1t is an evidence that there is a
growing desire to have a man for its
standard bearer, whose life does not
detract, but honors, the party. 1t is
about time to put men in the lead
whom we do not have to defend,
apologize for, cover their secret sins,
or gloss those that can not be hidden.
Judge Foraker is man in the high
est sense. He has not been lifted
into prominence by fortuitous cir
cumstances, nor has he reached the
height by those subtle subterfuges
which have become a political art,
His recognized abilities gave him
the position as Judge of the Superior
Court, and his efficiency gave him a
reelection, which position he re-
signed to engage in a more lucrative
practice at the bar He was born in
Highland county in I845, entered
the army as a private when only TO-
and was mustered out a Captain. He
then went to college, and graduated
at Delaware, Ohio, and at Cornell
University. Commenced the prac-
tice Of law in Cincinnati, rose tc

Ton CnnIin Swim.

Yesterday morning thin man with thick
overcoat buttoned up to his chin mounted the
steps of the Swimming school, on New York
avenue, and sidled up to Mr.. Curtis, one OF
the proprietors, who was keeping himself
warm by knocking his heels together, and
softly remarked, ais the Swimming school
going to open to-day"
Mr.. Curtis gazed at the inquirer commiser-
atingly for moment, and remarked, 1t il"
"What timer" asked the man blowing on
his vermillion hands.
"Its open now," said Mr.. Curtis.
"Well, guess I'll take souse just for
luck"
"To tell you the TRUTH" he continued, at
have been waiting for this event for a month
and havn't taken bath. I'll just get the
real estate off now in jifTy, you bet"
He deposited a quarter in the propretors
hand and skipped. After walking around on
the ice for few minutes, the man came out
and said he guessed he'd postpone his bath
until the weather was warmer. AS he went
out he remarked.
"I tell you what, colonel, if you'd only ad-
vertise a grand skating carnival instead of q
swimming school opening, you'd make cord
of money"
Several other persons anxious to bathe Wis
tied the swimming school, but were rewarded
with disappointment. Messrs. Curtis and
Kelly stood around with overcoats on until
an old inhabitant sauntered in and began to
expatiate on the weather of the past, when
the disguised twain locked up the establish
ment and adjourned tho opening until the
first warm day.
