A recent dispatch states that a gang
OF counterfeiters are at work in the
Mississippi Valley. The counterfeit
is of the standard silver dollar, and
about two hundred thousand of them
have been put in circulation. Those
that have been discovered are dated
1880. The counterfeit is so artisti-
cally made that it is difficult for any
one to discover the fraud, even after
examining it closely. These dollars
are bright, have a clear ring, the
same external marks, and are of the
same weight as the genuine dollar.

A severe blizzard and snow storm
swept over the United States last
Friday and Saturday. 1t was unu-
sually severe on the north Atlantic
coast, in the middle Western States
and in Oklahoma Territory. Much
damage was done to shipping, the
farming interests and live stock. 1t
is the severest storm within the
past 20 years. In these sections the
thermometer went to 10 degrees be-
low zero. The blizzard also struck
southwest Florida, and it was freez-
ing at New Orleans, Mobile, Calves
ton and San AntOnia.

The Mckinley Administration is al
fault for the race troubles in the
South. The enlistment of negroes
in the recent war with Spain precipi-
tated the movement. The arming of
the negroes was serious blunder,
as is evidenced by the lawlessness of
the colored troops in Cuba. They
became ovelbearing and brought on
a conflict with the native Cubans,
and the commander was compelled
to send them away in order to pre-
vent a conflict of races.

The Arkansas Gazette, printed at
Little Rock, entered upon the SOth
year Of its existence, last week. 1t
has been printed continuously under
the Same name, and is the oldest
newspaper west of the Mississippi
River. The paper was started by
VIM. K. Woodruff, at Arkansas Post,
in 1919. In reviewing its pioneer
history, tie Gazette says:
''The press was loaded on fiat
boat by Mr.. Woodruff, at Nashville,
in 1919, and after two months voy
age down the Cumberland and tie
Mississippi, at the mouth of White
River it was transferred to large
canoe, Which, by means of paddles,
was taken through tie chute which
joins the Arkansas to the White, and
was propelled up the former river to
the Arkansas Post. There the press
and type were unloaded. Mr.. Woo +.
ruff built with his own hands q log
cabin in which to house his treas :
ure, and there printed from tie
old Ramage press, On November 20,
1919, the first issue of the Gazette.
This press was largely made Of wood,
the forms were linked with balls, in
stead of rollers.
The old press is still in existence
at Dewitt, Ark, and in fair state of
preservation, considering its age and
the fact that it lay for quite awhile
at the bottom of the river during
the war"

summer as usual, she took a house at

usual, also. she felt rather lonely and

her few friends who belong to the
