HEY DENVER ELIMINATES.
A Good Letter we'll Worth Ferusine


"In winter time we sigh tbecause
We hav,' 10 shovel snow.
And long for spring when flowers bloom
And pleasant breezes blow"
Ah yes, the unattainable, we would
that We could attain.
Bleak Decem her is upon us, but
no bleakor as yet than is usual.
The cold wave came in Sunday on
time but it was not as cold as we
were made to expect.
There we're two days Of very warm
weather last week and thousands of
hitherto comatose wasp taking out
ings, covering windows, etc.
The clock stopped and depending
on it for time it made me too late to
60 for services att the Presbyterian
church last Sunday.
Mr.. j. Nj. Gee met with a serious
sccieenr last Friday in which he was
seriously hurt While coming to this
place with load of cotton he at.
Z tempted to get ON tho wagon while
'msving by stepping ON the double
tree, when his foot slipped and he
fell. rnThis scared the cam which
started to run and the wagon. heavily
loaded, passed over his DO ly, heard,
breaking some Of his ribs aud Other
wise seriously irjuring him. The
wagon and load weighed $4,000
pounds.
learn that Mr.. D. r. McCrackin
lost bale of cotton from the gin at
this place. 1t has been ginnrd about
. month, and Last week he came here
to sell when first he mirscd it. There
is no tsllirg ~be .her it was taken and
sold W SIN; oIo through mistake
and how long ago, or stolen. As it
it Was marked it is very likely it was
sto en and his mark eras-d, there il
80 many marks on old bagging. One
would hardly take it through mistake.
Hands are moving around as
usual this time of year. It seems to
be necessary for good to everybody
concerned that such Is the case, for
few does we'll after two or three
years at one place, pmd when there il
. change all around both employer
and emplayed does better. But it
il strange that some men wants to
get mad and tries to give hand a
worse name than he really deserves
when that hand wishes to change.
Tote fair anyway aud if you can t
keep man by kindness don't try to
by meanness. sasat
Theresre not enough hogs raised
in this country. There are some
men who raise about all that they
oan feed we'll under the present CIR
cnmstances, but if my eyes do no,
.dsceiye me there are hundreds of
acres Of waste land that might b.
made into pastures that mig,. lessen
the expease of raising hogs aud more
could be raised. Somr of the cotfon
land might be converted into pastures
Many poor men can't do it because
the land is not their< and they can't
afford to make permanent pastures.
