Ed. MARBLE HUI PEEss;
During the Alpine seigc wo Sttempted
10 gather a few items Of news, but every
thing being 20 slick they soon slipped
away, except that We know and you may
have realised the fact that. that i've
weeks ice caused the downfall Of more
people than Roosevelt has dovned In all
his downing. Many fellow made his
mark, always below bis Lowell. Then nod
get up and say bad words that sounded
like the -
So those chaps over east who'Se lost their
milk aud honey,
Win say bad words as they march away
from sammY's shining money.
You little 6ih must 60 ashore, to labor and
to wait,
And In about three years more, wen use
you again for bait.
Then pass Uui boys and do ne, cry because
the pill Is bitter,
Wen all gsi pensions by and by and then
Il will be Fweeier.
The sleet having gone shows that wheat
Is badly damaged. We need a steady
rain two or three weeks long, then an oc-
casional shower TO keep the soil damp
and vegetation will grow when spring
weather comes.
Many poor COW will smile when the
grass begins 70 grow.
Health Is good except scattering cases
Of grip and pneumonia.
Our town is booming. The bosses are
building more sidewalks and will soon
open some more streets.
Dn. Wilson & Lutes are going 10
build commodious house and stock it
with = eomplatA.linefoi drugs. ate. 49,
We have four stores, but as businessis
increasing SO rapidly, one or two more
will soon be added.
Yesterday there we're twenty cars on
the switch to be loaded with timber and
lumber, yet the town is full and it keeps
coming in.
Some Of our leading farmers are going
to meet at an early date and organize 0
stock company to build a trst-class
Touring mill. A good mill here would
beat gold mine. Everything about q
mill soils. Even the dirt that is swept up
on the floor is mixed with cheat and bran
and is sold as ''shipstuff."
EATER--After a few showers wheat Is
growing, but it is greatly damaged, and
under the most favorable circumstances
the harvest will fall far short of last
years crop.
Oats sowing is stopped by rainfall to-
day.
Our potatoes are planted ready to re-
ceiye the first rags of springs growing
sunshine,
There will be very few peach blossoms
this year except on the most elevated
points, consequently that delicious frui'
will be scarce.
Mrs. Stone, who has been visiting Mrs
Z. e. Wood, returned home to-day.
Hon. J. S. Henry and wife of Egyp
Mills. who have been visiting their chill
dren, left for home Thursday.
Mase Snider is in st. Louis buying
goods.
F. M. Baker is on the road selling
machines.
Wendell Seller, who has been duel
hunting for some time, says If he coul'
get a iirst-cla cooking machine, ther
would be "no place like home"
During the hot, dry siege Of last sum
mer, George Gross had sawed lot Q
| fencing plank exactly is feet teng, an
during the past freeze-up he drilled hole
and put in posts precisely 8 feet apar
expecting to nail the planks at each en-
and in the middle. but to his great sur
prise his planks wouldn't "reach." 81
upon close examination he found ths
the posts were just one foot farther apal
now than when set, in obedience to tn
natural law that cold contracts and hes
expands, The surface of the ground
thawing had so changed his measure
ments that he must either stretch h
plank or move bis posts and as he coul
not find a plank stretcheT he just hire
a man to reset the posts. Now he cor
tends that all his trouble and expense
J the bitter fruits Of expansion. Wei
yes expansion is rather expensive, az
sometimes exceedingly dangerous.
Just behold, for one moment, Johnr
Bull and Uncle Sam maiestically stanC
: ing like two fat oxen in high clover draw
. ing long, deep sighs in their greedy effo
to devour the entire field, little remen
) bering that they were once small calv
and dearly priced the place called HON
/ or If they remember, they are so deep
8 absorbed in avoraciousnesst that they di
r honor the rights of liberty by plunde
robbery and murder.
D England and America are liberty 10
ing countries. Indeed they are, so nu
] so that they mean to keep what they ha
r and gather in that of weaker nation
] until after awhile they will go like 3
big snakes once saw, and of which
s may tell you when snake time comes
n May liberty crown the efforts of
seekers, regardless Of President or Kss
