time when he wrote back to his former
employer (Mr. A. P. Shirley for money
to get back on. Mr.. Shirley sent him
$4,000, which landed him at Bolton, s. c.
He took the gravel train from there, and

Farmers in this section have commenced
work in earnest preparing for the next
crop. There has been but little ploughing
done up to this time, owing to tho wet
weather. But other work, such as clean
ing bitches, composing, hauling manurcs
and clearing, is being carried on with
rush. Some Of our farmers are still SOW
ing oats, and will continue to SOW when
the ground gets so they can plough. The
oats that were sowsd in early Fall are
killed out to some extent.

building handsome residence soon. We

Piled and deformed by Scrofula, which
had attended him from his birth. About
eighteen months ago commenced Civ.
ing him Swift's Specific. After several
bottles had been taken and no visible re-
suits to be seen, began to despair, but
continued the medicine. AT last signs OF
improvement became apparent, and from
that date to the present there has been
constant Improvement in both body and
mind. He is now about fourteen years
old, and is one of the brightest boys !

Malarial Poison.

The drouth in Southwest Georgia last
Spring dried up the wells, and we were
compelled to use water from the creek on
the plantation. The result was that all
were troubled with chills and fever. l
carried with me several bottles of Swifes
Specific, and as long as took it, | had
perfect health. AS soon as I ceased taking
1t, l, like the rest, was afflicted with chills.
When I resumed its use, was all right
again. We have used it in our family as
an antidote for malaria poison for two or
three years, and have never known it to
fail in single Instance.

How Il DemOIlshsd the oklahoma Camp
at Caldwell - Two EmPOrfa People
Blown About and Seriously Bruised
The unwslcome news of very heavy
wind and rain storm that visited Cald-
we'll early Saturday morning, was re-
ceiyed here about noon Monday. 1t seems
that the camp of the Oklahoma emil
grants lay right in the course Of the
storm, and nearly every member of the
colony sustained heavy losses. That
which interests our readers most is the
narrow escape of Mr.. and Mrs. Echel-
barger of this city. The tent occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Echelbarger
was completely demolished as were
twelve adjoining ones. When the storm
had subsidized MIR. Echelbarger and wife
were found struggling beneath the de-
bries of broken pieces of tImbers and the
wet and torn canvass. When the two
were taken from the scene of their short
but terrible Imprisonment 1t was found
that Mr.. Echelbarger had been struck
over the right eye by falling missile
which inflicted benumblng and ugly
wound. Mrs. EcheIbarger was also
badly bruised but not SO seriously as her
husband. Although the injuries re-
ceived are very trying the wounds are
not necessarily dangerous.
The appearance of the camp is that oi
a total wreck. Tenting material, cook
ing utensils, and all the apparatus nee
essary in g camping outfit are scattered
promiscuously over the ground. Wsg
ons were picked up and blown over the
tops of the tents and scattered In frag
ments about the grounds. Fortunately
there was no loss oflife.

The southern portion Of this stats has
been the scene Of great calamity 70
many of the people. The late heavy
rains and the consequent rise of the
streams and rivers have entalled nuraer-
Gus losses Of life and the wlde desruc-
ton of property. From Mr.. Thad Da-
wilson, of this city, who has just return
ed from the unfortunate locality.
We learn that the rain
fall has been enormous, and the perils to
lives and the waists Of property alarming.
Streams rose TO height OF twenty feet
aboYe that ever known. The Big Cansy
river at ons time showed the remarka-
Ole rapidity Of the rise by guaglng fifteen
additional feet Of water in twenty min
utes. In many places the soil from the
uplands near the rivers Is literally waah-
ed out, and in the bottoms the corn has
been covered by water and . deposit Of

The Southern Kansas railroad has suf-

unfortunate, happening just IS . very

The general cry from the farmers :
"Too much rain"
Corn that was early planted Is looking
sickly and it will require vast amount
of labor to mellow the ground. Some
are blowing and replanting.
The frost week did but little damage
in this community. Early fruits bid
fair TO be good yield.
The rag sewing at Mrs. J. W. Wilbur's
last Friday was well attended and an
joyable and profitable day was spent.
Mrs. W. and Ida know how to make
time pass pleasantly.
Miss Morgan has taken Ida Wilbur's
place in the school room. While she is
recovering from the measles. We hope
she will soon be able to return 70 her
post of duty.
Heavy rains and high water prevented
Sunday school on last Sunday morning.
We hope this will not interfere with the
interest OF the work.
Grass and forest trees are looking we'll
