at z 80 A. NJ. the snow began to come
down in this part OF the county. and it
continued necessarily all day, and
about 7:30 P. NJ it began to sleet,
which continued. a: intervals. all
night; and about 7:30 A. NJ. on the 18th
it began to snow again. and continued
about two hours. and at the present
time everything is wrapped up in slum-
Der under about seven inches of snow
and sleet. It came in time to save
part of the wheat crop. but not until
great damage was done by the cold,
northwest winds.
Mrs. James Akers presented her
husband with bouncing 12-lb boy on
the 18th inst. All are doing we'll at
this writing.
1t is rumored that Esq. Schrum has
repaired and erected a new gate near
his barn. which adds greatly to the
view from the public road.
Our mail facilities are working
splendidly now. All the patrons of
the different post offices in the West
End of Iron county-who are SO dis
posed-have all the reading matter
they can digest.
J. R. Adams, P. NJ. Goodland. Mo-,
has resigned the postmaster's position.
after holding the Office for sixteen
years in succession. F. M. Adams has
been appointed to fill the position, who
will take charge of the Office April 1st,
1896.
Mrs. H. Lathim has recently had an
other severe attack of fever; is under
medical treatment by DIR. Minor of Les
terville. Mo. The doctor is wide-a-
wake to business-quick to respond to
calls-and his patrons almost AL give
him full credit for his promptness and
abilities as a physician and surgeon.
And the writer wishes to add that the
doctors as a rule are more prompt in
filing their callings than the preachers
are in filling theirs.
The wide-awake citizens of Good
land community are arranging for a
Sabbath School. to begin the LIST Sum
day in April, which is the right thing.
Every community should see to it that
Sabbath School is thoroughly organ
lied and in good running order. We
are taught in the Bible to train child
the way it should go, and when it is
old it will not depart therefrom.
j. r. Adams has received the sad
news of the death of his brother,
George w. Adams, of Deer Lodge City,
Mont. who leaves a wife and one son
to mourn. The son, Charles Adams,
is graduate of engineering and sur
veying in the State of Montana.
Quite number of farmers out here
turned their attention to raising more
clover, which is the right thing.
Quite number of documents were
received at Goodland post Office recent
ly called. can address to Democrats"
1t contains many names. among whom
the writer notices the name of D. r.
Francis, Chairman. The thing has a
heap to say about sound money. The
writer is not in politics. but reads pa
pers from the two great parties. and
then forms conclusions, and these con-
illusions are to vote for Mckinley for
President, if he gets the nomination,
and to vote for Arthur HUFF for circuit
clerk, whether he gets the nomination
or not; and will remember Bill Fetch
err, too. The writer has been out of
politics for fifty years, but really think
it's due those boys there at the county
seat to say good word for them, from
personal observation. They have al
ways entertained bountiful supply of
goodness; never have written to one of
them but they were prompt in reply
ing on business matters of any nature;
and when they come down here in
these woods to see US folks they are
courteous. They don't climb every
stump and cry out, .'sound money!"
and .sso:t money!" Tor is it '.free mon
eyp'D and 'shlgh tariff" and slow tar
iff," and .no tariff at ALL" But they
just say-well / know what they say,
all the same, and they get there Eli!
See! Now, my boys. what are you go
ing to do for the West End? / don't
mean the Middle End. There are
some good Democrats out here, and
it's about time they had some recogni-
ton. They are entitled to one office
at least. and sometimes patience ceases
to be q virtue. BOULERANG.
