GEORGE BUXTON
who, with his family cared for the
Rambler after a days march, came
from Scotland many years ago With
his parents and a brother who lives
in the LaGraude district. These peO-
pie enjoy the free institutions of
America where no clan hampers any
citizen to hinder MIN from enjoying
any position or rewards his merits
and intellect may fit him for. But
while they enjoy our free school sys-
tenn and are giving their children all
its benefits, they speak of the COM
pulsory feature of the Scotch system
where every child is in school, if not
properly excused, or the guardians
fixed. The feeling of the citizens of
Britain toward their friends and rela-
tives in America is the kindest and
the solicitude for the triumph of the
north during the war was most en-
phatically expressed by their people.
Views of Abroih Abbey and other
historic pOints, which are foreign
views to many, and also the times Of
Robt. Bruce and John Knox and his
dispatches of defiance to the Pope
and the subsequent disruption that
destroyed the temporal rule of the
Pope are talked of as Familiarity as we
talk of the early days of Kansas. Mr..
Ruxton read with interest the letters
of the Editor of the REGISTER from
Europe aud assigned as reason why
Mr.. ScJtt found an absence of want
and degradation in North Ireland
was because of the influence of the
Scotch who were driven into Ireland
by prosecutions aud whose decend-
ants are still factor there that holds
back the wave of home rule which he
says means, when analysed, Pope
rule, from spreading over all ireland.
The FAIRLY although Scotch Presby-
terrain across the waters, have Joined
the prevalent denomination in their
vicinity as christian people often fail
to do, and have cast their lot with the
Methodist church at Wesley chapel
south of them
HE. WYNN
In Belfry school district. has been
in Kansas since the '60s bur five years
ago came TO the place he now Occu-
pies. A neat, new house well built
plenty of stock of various kinds and
an appearance of content indicates
that calamity don't worry him very
badly. He usually feeds cattle but
always markets fat hogs. His ex-
perience has taught him that flax is
so often grown at a loss that he has
quit its cultivation. He has just
secured few grade Cotswold sheep.
This breed attains so large a size that
/ it seems to he one of the favOrite NUT
ton breeds and many farmers are just
now experimenting with small flock
of sheep a. a profitable part of farm
stock, but don't try large flock at
first.
J.B FERGUS
Has lived here eight years and is
fairly fixed aud is an enterprising
farmer. He handles some fiue cattle
with his other stock. Some years
ago when the cattle business seemed
to he getting sick he determined to
hold ON to his breeding stock and OF
late years he says they brought him
a good profit. He once stocked up on
sheep but got too deep into that bust
ness and got out of that.
We find all of these people along
this line, so far, are readers of the
REGISTER.
SPENCER CASE
Has lived hare a number of years
aud was just starting for Lone Elm
five miles north of him. He has been
a Democrat and a Pop. But the Pop
administration was enough so he and
the two boys turned their votes in tC
help ms elect Mckinley. Gov
Leedy's north and south R. R. scheme
seemed very silly one to him and be
said it would bankrupt the three
states in hurry if they attempted
any such nonsense. He has a large
farm and handles breeding stock.
W. G. SINGLE
Is pleasant young man who has
bought $50 acre farm and is a friend
to the REGISTER. He seems up tt
date in his ideas of farming and hope:
by careful management to succeed
where he has located on the head
waters of middle fork of Deer creek
Many of the farms here have ar
abundance of cedars that instead o.
being the last thought seem to have
been among the first trees set out and
now are prominent in the landscape
