blue heron measuring 66 inches from
tip to tip and So from toe to beak, was
killed ON the Loray branch yesterday
afternoon by Mr.. Hutch Workman.
The birds leg had an enlargement
which indicated that it had been brok-
en- and got well. The Southern
railway yesterday filled in the low
space between the passenger depot
and the track with ballast, which
makes passing from the depot to the
trains more convenient. t...... .Drayton

teresting letter to his brother, DR.. E.
F. Glenn, was written on the 18th by
ESQUIRE w. D. Glenn Of Crowder's
Creek, who is now at Hot Springs
Ark, for his health. From this letter
we have been permitted to make some
extracts which, we feel sure, will In
terest many Of our readers. l arrived
here, writes Esquire Glenn, on Sun
day after 80 hours on the way-9lS
miles-stopping only two hours
Stood the long trip better than l ex-
pected. Country does not look to be
as good as our old CASTOR county un-
til we came to Memphis. After cross
ing the big river and a swamp for
about forty miles, we struck the most
beautiful country I ever saw-leVel as
a bottom, fine crops, herds or cattle
grazing. Few good houses, not up to
the homes Of our people. This beau
tiful country Is full Of poor people
shaking with chills. I thought If the
Negroes of North and South Carolina
could only see it, they would come
here as soon as they could get here.
They could stake pony on the grass,
eat watermelons, and be happy. Some
cabins in the swamp showed marks of
muddy water nearly half way up the
wall. At the lumber camps they live
in tents. This place is not like any l
have ever seen-mostly on one street
between two high hills, 700 feet high,
and only wide enough for the street.
Some places the rocks are blasted out
to make room for the houses. One lot
was pointed out that sold, so I was
told, for $500 a front foot, and the
house and lot will cost over 100000.
On an ostrich farm yesterday, I saw
12T ostriches, all sizes and ages.
Largest weighs $40 pounds and can
run with a race horse. Saw some
plumes valued at $25; was told lady
paid $50 for one. The empty shells Of
the ostrich eggs sell for 81 as curios.
Though the ostrich is not a pretty
bird, I could make money exhibiting
them at home provided the people
were as anxious to see them as they
are here. Nearly every house here
seems to be sanitarium, hotel, or sa-
loon. In the busy season the sports
and rich men come here in great num-
bers and have a good time. I see and
talk with young and old men, and all
tell me they are greatly benefited.
