Rush HILL, Dec. ll.-Oh, yes, we
had a rain. Our water haulers now
wallow through the mud to procure
the proper supply Of the liquid ele-
ment to supply their stock.
Two a loads Of cattle shipped by
Cassidy, Of st. Louis to VIM. Cunning
ham, Of this place, came through in
forty-two hours, without feed or wa
ter. Cunningham would not receive
them. They were turned into a stock
field at the expense of the railroad.
We have some friends In the East
ern states inquiring about farms in
this State. And from the present I'M
dlcations we will have several land
buyers here between now and crop
time. Let them come, there is plens
ty of room and land and a demand for
good farmers, and especially those
who vote right.
