The daily papers OF Dayton, Ohio,
contain lengthy obituary notices Of Mary
d. Steele, the sister Of our fellow-citizen,
W. c. Steele, who died few weeks
since. Miss Steele was remarkable wo-
man, prominent in literary circles and n
leading spirit in all matters relating to
the best interests Of Dayton. Her death
leaves a vacancy in church. social and
literary circles which will be impossible
to fill.
The lot OF the country newspaper
man is not all hard work and poor pay.
He probably sees as much OF the bright
side OF life as the average Of his fellow
mortals. In addition to tho regular in
come OF the office there is perquisites
which are valuable. He gets wedding
cake und has the privilege Of kissing the
bride. He gets alleged free tickets to en-
tertainments and u seat at the first table
OF the big social dinners. And then,
when summer time comes, he is the Iecip-
lent Of many friendly gifts. tho fruit OF
the garden, orchard and field. We had

program to begin so early. but on Sntur-

thing to start the sluggish blood to II
quicker circulation during the first
spring days. Thinks.

posed new city park it is time TINT the

consent OF the Santa Fe is all that stands
in the way.

One Of the advantages OF living in
n city is that OF having the privilege OF
attending high Crude entertainments.
But here in Rocky Ford we have all the
advantages Of country life and many OF
the first.clnss entertainments also. This
remark is appropriate just now in motto.

the Epworth league. Prot Oles is GER
tainly n master OF the violin. Tho large
