In 1887 the South made q larger corn
crop than ever before. Fortunate as this
would be under any circumstances" oh.

crop over that Of 1885 win keep at lcaat
$4,000. 900 In that section that would
would otherwise have gone West. As
The planting season returns Il becomes Of
great importance that Southern farmers
should be urged 70 plant more largely
than ever Of corn. Before another crop

the whole country would bc 80 greatly

portant, therefore, not only for the good
Of the South In general, but especially
for the prosperity Of tho farmers that
they would again raise 4 largo crop.
The South ought TO do even better In
this line than last year. and Southern
farmers will make serious mistake Il
they do not plant for n large crop Of
corn and also Of oats. We believe that

to help them, or shall they strive to
become prosperous and independent?
If we receive national aid for one thing
we have right to demand aid for
other things. Where would be the
justice if the Missouri legislature would
appropriate heavy sum of money to
support the public schools in the min
eral districts of the State, because the
people of that section were the laboring
classes? The people would say for
these school districts (rich in mineral
lsnds) 10 keep up their own schools.
The principle that applies to one must
also apply to the other. If the govern
ment has any right to come in and aid
the south in education, is it not reason
able to think that Missouri has a right
to aid certain localities? According to
the Blair bill argument, because Iron
county has plenty of money in her
treasury. the county court would have
right to appropriate few hundred to
aid some country school district that
was unable financially to have more
than a four months term of school.
Where would be the justice in this?
Still the same principle may be applied
here.
Mr.. Editor. as I stated in the begin
ming, I am in favor of education for all,
regardless of race, color or previous
condition of servitude; but emphasize
the following: Let each state look
after and support ats own public
schools. Respectfully, I.

OBITUARY.

OBllU AR1.
Margaret, wife of John Mayfield, (after an
illness of near TWO weeks of measles) quietly
passed away on the 18th day of March, 1888.
Your writer can fully realize the loss to Mr..
Mayfeld, and we even weep with him, but
let us look at the truth of God in the matter
and we find that they yet live, kind neigh
bors came and carried them out of our
homes and we followed with dumb awe, and
saw them lay them down gently beneath the
earth. We returned to the vacant house
which never could be home again. Our
hearts were broken. The earth and sky have
been SO dark since that day. They do not
come back. We listen, but get no tidings !;
neither form nor voice comes to US. Are
they extinct? no, they live. They are not
sick or weary now. They have no sorrow.
They are not alone. They have joined
others. They wait for us, they wear crowns
that flash in the everlasting light. They
wear robes that are spotless white. They
mediate on the banks of the river of life.
Bnt, notwithstanding this be true, yet we
weep and cry and want to tell her, too, how
the last, long, fond kiss almost broke our
heart, and how we wanted to die when her
face was covered from our sight forever.
Then again we would give our life away for
one short interview. But it cannot be. She
is an angel now, and in her heavenly purity
waits in patient affection for the time when
it shall be Gods will to make of us angels
too.
Yet hath my heart an inward ear,
Through which its powers rejoice;
nd nd lat, 70
Thy spirits still, small voice.
So when the archangel from the ground
Shall summon great and small,
The ear now deaf shall hear that sound
And answer to that call.
W. W. HALL.
Measles are raging through this vicinity
Every precaution should be used to get them
stopped.
Mrs. Mary Smith is very iii with measles,
tits believed by some that she will hardly
recover; however, we hope for better, not
withstanding the chances are against her.
IT'S reported that Miss Mary Croker and
Mrs. George Martin haye been exposed to
the measles, and are expecting to be sick.
Also, Miss Josie P. Reed and Mr.. W. II.
Smith. We do hope they may have good
care and a speedy recovery.
The buggy horse of Rev. N. Adams died
on the road from Greeley to Belgrade, leav-
ing the old man without any conveyance.
However, Mr.. j. L. Midyett, who is ever
ready to do his part of good Samaritan,
gave him conveyance through to Belgrade.
1t is reported that Mr.. FL. Lathim will be
our next road master. Mr.. L. is, we hope, a

he may give as good satisfaction as Mr.. Nc
Mahon has given; If he will there will be
little reason for complaint. TOBIAS.
