The writer made his nrst visit to Southwest
City last week, and wAa considerably surprised
az TO the magnitude OF that town, They have
population OF 100, and q recent growth is Ap-
parent. The town Is euriously situated be-
tween the hills and to a casual observer lt
looks as though the limit As to size had been
reached. We presume, however, that there
can always be found room for one more house,
though stair case may be required to reach
II. No danger from hurricane need ever be
feared. Good water from both springs aud
wells produces excellent health.
Much Of Southwest City's prosperity is no
doubt due 20 its -four mills. Mr.. Littiok
well known TO many OF our citizens, Is the
chief representative OF this industry lie was
at vinlta last week on his way home nom
Kansas City where he had been 10 arrange for
having the new roller process put into his
mill.
One OF the popular Institutions Of the town
Is the Corum house, conducted by George W.
Corum. The house is nicely ntted up and
furnished, and the table is excellent. Mr..
Corum is an energetic, and wide-awako man,
as well as . model landlord. should the
hoped for railroad be obtained his house will
be a sunday "hAng-out" for the commercial
and other travellers. There is q prospect for

The enterprise OF the place Is manifested In
spots only. School facilities are somewhat
orampod and churches there are none. A
newspaper 10 be known as ''southwest Say

ID. Preston as editor. Mr., Preston Is now
connected with the Pineyille News and We
doubt not will ind the change an advantageous
one.

VINO Is JOE MILLER2-Such was the
constant inquiry last week in Table
quah. Groups Of seemingly interested
persons were anxious TO learn who is
Joe Miller. At the express Office the
same anxiety was apparent, and the
town guard was on the alert to find
him. A mysterious looking package
has been received at the Office for Joe
Miller, a person as equally unknown
as the contents of the package. Not
that IL was taken to be some Internal
machine sent 10 blow Joe Miller or
some one else to kingdom come, but
that il contained something that has
blown many poor fellow to the other
place. Joe Miller could not be found,
because no one knew such a person.
Many would like TO have had the thing
had II been anywhere but in the ex-
press office and closely watched. Joe
was incog and kept himself so, no
doubt "feelin powerful oneasy." Anx-
iety TO know what was in the box was
elevated to such pitch that IL was
determined to sec. Tho deputy high
sheriff went for the mysterious con-
cern, yanked OIL the lid and hauled out
a bottle. In a trice he drew the cork,
being experienced at such thing, and
out shot with fizzle what was pro-
no unced ginger beer. Joe has not yet
put in an appearance, from the last
dispatches received.
