Frank Lloyd Writes to the Press

Crlttenden and ADJOINING countle
l take this method of answering
their questions in regard to Thu
country, health, my work, etc.
Nationwide is a young town o
six years growth, situated on th'
w. Q. & w. railroad, running
from Mt. Vernon to Chester
where the Southern Illinois peni
Tertiary is located. Waltonvill'
has five stores, two church es, mill
shops, etc. The county seat o.
this (Jefferson) county is Mount
Vernon, containing 5000 inhabi-
tants, OF about four times as large
as Marion, KY. We are in the
southwest part of the county. Ew-
ing college is IL miles southeast
of us in Franklin county. This
is a fine school, where many from
Crittendenden county, KY, atten-
ded, including Senator Deboe, the
Cruce brothers, Jacobs boys, and
many others.
This is considered the best part
of the county for farming, and the
farmers are generally wealthy; for
instance, there are six of the Man
non brothers around me, each one
owning from 1000 to 2,40O acres
apiece; stock barns are built here
at a cost of from $1,000 to 81, 500.
This is a good stock country and
better adapted to grass and wheat
than anything else. hay is ship
ped from here to KY. l am buy
ing first-class bailed timothy for
$1,000 and bailed red top at 500
per ton, and we think this is terri
bly, high for hay here. 1 have seen
one farmer order a special engine
and ten cars just ito ship his own
stock in. Many farmers here have
from Is to 200 young mules apiece
The next day after some of our
boys came here from Crittenden
we were driving through Knob
prairie, looking at the large past
ures and fine cattle, one of the
boys asked me what made that
farmer keep domestic wrapped
around the bodies of his cattle;
when 1 explained the stock of cat
tie he raised he let the other boys
ask the rest of the questions
Now in regard to health, l have
travelled over sixteen of Uncle
Sans States, and 1 know of no
healthier place than this east of
Oklahoma. For instance, Shelter
is a town two miles west of me;
two years ago a good doctor NOV
ed there and had all the practice
in and around town, and yet did
not get enough practice to support
his family and had to hunt new
location.
Now. in regard to work, will say
I have plenty, but would not adj
wise any more to come now, as We
have a little winter here as we'll as
in Kentucky. There are 165 of
us here from Crittenden county,
and the people here have named
my place the Kentucky town.
The farmers here on most roads
have free delivery rural mail SER
vice; this is wonderful help to
them and saves many miles ride;
besides, you get your mail regular
One getting accustomed to this
system would miss it ar much as
you would the railroad in Critten-
den.
Now, NJ Editor, all countrys
havgtheir Disadvantages; the So
,iety is quite different here; Sun
lay is a great day for hunting in
his community, 1 believe ma
ority OF the church members are
catholics and UniSersalists; most
f the members of The Catholic
hurch here are Polanders.

about it, Mother and daughter took
walk over TO the Hoffman home III Linden

Georse's mother, who didn't evince the

their keeping the marriage quiet was that
they were afraid to tell anybody.

CASTRO CHANGES HIS MIND
Viii Return to Caracas Without Attack
ing Insurgents.
Try Associated Press \

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1a.-Minis-
ter Bowen at Caracas has cabled the
State Department as follows:
The President of Venezuela has ahan-
coned the idea Of attacking the enemy
at Barcelona, and is proposing to return
to Caracas soon"
He had a considerable force OF soldiers
with him, and the reason for this change
OF mind. IN the absence of decisive bat
tie. can only be coniectured here. 1t is
known that he is unable to regain Cara
cas- by land. owing to the presence be-
tween himself and the capital OF revolu-
iionary forces and he must return by
water, as he came.
