/ Many thanks, Mr.. Editor, for your cour-
! tesy.
! / have just returned from Outre Fork. As
l went out last week saw all the farmers
busy blowing and planting, and also noticed
that Mr.. Thompson, ON the old Hughes farm,
has put up about eighty rods of nice board
fence. The materials are good and the work
well done. 1t occurs to me that about where
that fence stands unless mans hair is well
cinched into his scalp the wind will blow it
| off in winter.
| Mr.. Thompson also has the contract to
build schoolhouse on Mr.. Ruddock's land,
and is putting the lumber on the ground.
| Mr.. and Mrs. John Webb were well.
| As went over the hill Mr.. Durhmann's
| big cross dogs were out in the road, but as
| they had no doubt seen the REGISTER, they
| treated me with dIgnified forbearance which
enabled me to notice Il grandly beautiful
young face at the window, and after awhile
was able to sing "MeiH Grossmutter's Katt."
Passing on after calling on Miss Annie Duree,
who is young lady of ten years, and as
pleasant little scholar as ever crossed the
door sill of school room, and also resting
nv Wright, I found home with Mr.. j. A.
Griffith with whom 1 stayed two nights and
one day. Thence passed on down the creek,
calling on the old friends until the farm of
Mr.. Oesch was reached. That was home in
deed. Pleasant looks and kind words greet
ed me, and there were interesting looks, and
papers, good music, both vocal and instru-
mental, and all the surroundings pleasant.
That farm looks grand. During the visit
there the Sheriff of Reynolds county called
to summon Mr.. Oesch as juryman. Mr..
Jamison is evidently good officer.
On Black River the wheat is about an av-
erage crop for that region. The stalks of
grain are about eight inches high with fair
stand.
In regard to the death of Mrs. Trollinger,
will only say that it was a cold-blooded,
deliberate murder. Having sure thing,
the State can afford to wait as the defense is
very industriously destroying its own case.
There are some young gentlemen mixed up
in the matter who will wish themselves out
of it. The murder is the legitimate crop
ping out of horrible state of affairs.
The Spring crops in Belleview look well,
and the country is now full of birds and
flowers.
The war in Israel has left the churches in
the same situation in which the Crusades left |
Europe and 1.-THE late onpleasantnis" left |
Texas. Gen. Sheridan described it as San |
omalous, singular and unsatisfactory" A
doughty champion of 'the only true" has |
announced his determination to abolish |
"Josephus" and L. G.. 'Josephus" can take |
care of himself. I have made all necessary
arrangements for the cornoner's inquest in |
my own case. DR.. Haley is to preside and |
has been instructed to select small sized men |
as jurymen so that they can all sit Oh me at |
once and by so doing increase the probabii- |
ties of a prompt and unanimous verdict. All |
communications on that subject can be add |
dressed to DR.. Haley.
Having been absent from Believer last |
Sabbath cannot report on the Union Sab |
bath School. But in the lesson the truth is |
on the surface of the text. 1t is paraphrase |
on the fifth commandment.
Our High School is going quietly along.
A leading event of this week is the remov |
al of the Photographic artists to the Camp |
Ground. Messrs Wilson and McNab leave |
behind them here good record both as gen.
tlemen and artists AS am nothing unless
exact it is desirable to furnish to the people |
of the Camp ground some facts III regard to
the reliable character of the artists machine.
Having been tried on Father Hood nearly
dozen times it became accustomed to him
and took excellent pictures. One look at my
title page was rather more than it could
stand. Not having had sufficient rest after
the effort it failed to do justice to DR. Nc
But having enjoyed additional rest
and having been well rubbed with DR..
Harter's Iron Tonic ii came up nobly to the
work and produced admirable pictures of
Mr.. j. E. Lowe. And then to copy the sweet
and beautiful young faces which crowded
the artists tent on Tuesday evening must be
even to machine labor of love.
So that the bellies of Black River can re-
sumo their shoes and stockings, put on their
store clothes and look as pretty as they can
and rest assured that the machine will do
them full justice. And if any one wishes to
see what it can do under great difficulties
they can find my picture in Reynolds coun-
ty in the custody of one of the most beauti-
full and accomplished ladies of Southeast
Missouri. THOMAS CALLAHAN.
