ed me, when we spent social hour in des-
canting upon the future of the country, which
he thinks promising. Mr. Adams has a we'll
arranged place which he is busily improving,
and being contiguous to Delta he is afforded
the pleasure of schooling his children, both
winter and summer.
Just around the bend lives Mr.. Leaper Gill,
who says that "you may talk of your prairie
dogs, pine apples and flying squirrels. but
that ranch got of Judge Keithly just knocks
the socks off of anything | have ever struck"
and believe him, after seeing the amount of
improvements he is putting thereon, in the
way of residence, barn, fences, etc.
From here | struck out for the residence of
T. A. Griffith who live just one mile east of
town. on ranch possessed of many natural
advantages, such as good soil, plenty of tim
Der, grass, etc. He has been offered more
than once what he considered the worth of
his ranch, but its location, combined with the
health and climate of the country, had
thoroughly and tiivorably impressed him that
he refuses to sell at any reasonable figures.
If the stockholders of the Big Rifle ditch
will only excuse this feeble representation of
their interests in the valley of the future
great, | will endeavor, If ever afforded the
opportunity, to shed tear of sympathy upon
their respective graves

Last Sunday Il curiosity was brought into
Delta in the shape of petrifed or mumifcd
a dried Indian. 1t was found on the farm
of Mr.. Bates, below town, by man falling
through into the grave, hole about four feet
deep, covered with sticks and boughs and
grass. When the specimen was uncovered it
lay partially on its side, its legs somewhat
drawn up, the hands across its breast, dressed
in beaded buckskin, and surrounded by finely
dressed elk and deer skins and an Indian
blanket. The flesh had apparently dried up
tight to the bones, having the appearance of
nothing but skin and bones. The features
are well preserved, and the hair remains in
tact except on the back of the head, where it is
decayed. 1t weighs about twenty five pounds
and if Strengthened would be about five feet
five inches high. The sex not known, but
believed to be young brave. The specimen
is so well preserved that it is believed it will
be sent to State Historical society or to some
eastern museum.

THE MOTHERLESS BABE.
By s. W, PEARCE.

By S. W. PEARCE.
Twas the close of long and weary day
As the Fast Express" sped over its way
And its living freight, with deep cares
opprest,
Had one by one sunk into their rest;
Until ut length their slumberings mild
Were reused by the cry of a fretful child
A mans arms held it, mans voice tried
To soo:he it and calm it, yet still i: cried
Annoyance indeed to the tired nerves
OF weary traveller who sleep deserves;
Till at last man, with visage grim,
And thinking of naught but the nuisance
to him,
Said harshly, 'I've stood this thing un.
til
I've had of that crying child nv fill.
Its really most COMPOUNDED bother.
Why don't you take the child to its
mother?"
Low, soft and sad was the answer given.
"Fhe mother, sir, is at rest IN Heaven.
Her spirit has crossed the harbor bar;
Her body now lies in the baggage car.
No more will her arms her baby press,
Or tenderest love can her lips express.
And many miles have weary come,
To bring her and her babe to my early
home.
Something that seemed very much like
tear
Shone in the eyes of the listeners near;
And he. who had spoken so harshly and
cold,
Reached forth his arms the infant to
hold.
Il beg pardon" he said, still gruffiy,
andyet
The shaggy eye-lashes with tear-drops
were wet.
All night up and down through the mar
row isle
He paced till the sobbing was hushed,
and a smile
Ger the lips of the babe came softly to
creep,
And the little eyes closed in peace-eiv-
ing sleep.
Oh, sympathy greas, that human hearts
bind,
No heart so callous but somewhere you'll
lind,
Though filed with its cares, and selfish
at best,
Sometimes will awake a: thy tender be-
hest.
The fountain. though long kept under
seal,
At sympathy's call must its presence re-
veal.

EDITOR ST.. TAMMANY FARMER:
A communication from Mr.. Chas.
Heintz appeared in your issue OF
last Saturday, the % inst, and, as
one of the stockholders of the Town
Hall Association, l request a small
space in your columns in reply
thereto.
MIR. Heintz says it is "the general
impression" that the Town Hall
Association expired in its infancy.
In reply to this, l will state that
Mr.. Heintz recognized the exist
ence of the Association, while act
ing as Treasurer pro tenn, and it
was only after permanent organ;-
cation was effected. and Mr.. Cahier
WAS elected Treasurer, instead of
himself, that he repudiated its exist
ence.
The entertainment referred to
was given for the express purpose
of raising money for the Town Hall
fund. The committee of managers
consisted of Mr.. Cahier, Mr.. Heintz
and myself. Mr.. Heintz managed
the financial portion. and under
his skillful management the ex-
penses amounted to the enormous
sum of $92 IS, which left the small
balance on hand of $7a 40, the to-
tai receipts being $l7I O5.
Mr.. Heintz says the money was
turned over to him. by the ladies
who gave the entertainment, "for
safe keeping" In this he is de-
cidedly mistaken, as it was merely
left with him, as one of the COM
mittee of managers, to be turned
over by him to the Treasurer, after
all expenses were paid. I called on
him. when the Association was or
ganized, and urged him to turn the
money over to the Treasurer, but
he refused to do so, stating that he
had "as good right to the money
as anybody else"
I still maintain that it is his duty
to turn the money over to the duly
elected Treasurer. and merely make
this statement, as one of the man
ayers of the entertainment land in
SO doing I am strictly Winding my
o,on business) in order to set the
other members of the committee of
managers right before the public,
leaving them to Judge as to the COR
rsetness of Mr.. Heintz's action in
the matter. Yours, etc,
JAS. Il. HosMER.
