From the Sunny Southland

Mrs. w. C. Bayles, a relative
of the Robinson-Sims
families has written them let
ter from the Sunny Southland.
Parts of the letter follow:
London, Tennessee, March 2,
1903. My Dear Frank: You
have been in my thoughts so
much of the time for the past
week that the first thing | do
this Monday morning shall be
writing to you. No doubt you
will be surprised to get a letter
from me from way down
South" not quite Gin the land
of cotton" for we are too high
up in the mountains for cotton,
but we are in sure enough
Dixie land. : We left
Mt. Pleasant January goth, in
the evening, was in st. Louis
next morning, waited an hour
and a half in their lovely Union
depot, then took the Louisville
and Nashville train for the
South, arriving in this place the
morning of the 22nd. We had

a delightful trip, crossed the
Mississippi, the Wabash and
Ohio rivers. All as you know
are lovely. The country through
Illinois and Indiana is fine and
prosperous looking, but my, o
my! what a difference after
you cross the Ohio river and
get into Kentucky and on into
Tennessee. One would not be-
lieve until seeing it that there
could be so much difference
between the North and the
South. Everything in the south
is so poor, so dilapidated and
neglected looking. The houses
are unpainted, fences falling
down, yards and streets dirty.
Miss Ophelia's "Shiftless, O
how Shiftless!" certainly ex-
presses the condition of the
South as | have seen it. One
would think that they have had
time to recover from the effects
of the war, but they have not,
and never will unless enough
Northerners come here with
their energy and push to make
these people ashamed of Them
selves. Most of the people |
have met are charming, but
hopelessly out of the great cur
rent of modern life. This little
town of London is on the South
ern Railway between Chatta-
nooga and Knoxville, has a
population of about a thousand,
is on the Tennessee river. The
country is very hilly, the soil a
red clay. The views from here
are fine. On a clear day to go
on to any high point one can
see in the distance the Cumber-
land and the Great Smoky
Mountains they are beauti-
full ands so blue glimpsesof the
river here and there, and the
red roads winding in and out
among the hills. One would
have very little appreciation of
the beauties of nature not to
call this a charming spot. Am
going to Knoxville some bright
day, can go in the morning and
return in the evening; that
place is full of northern people
and said to be quite a nice
modern city. We will stop for
a few days in Chattanooga on
our. RETURN. and see Lookout

FARMERS PUSH
ROAD MATTERS
Circulating Papers and Securing
Generous Donations

The Harrison county farmers
who have pledged the sum of
$500 to be expended in the inn
provement of the public roads
leading into Missouri Valley
are already busily engaged in
the circulation of the subscrip-
tion papers to secure the funds
to pay the pledge, which is con-
ditioned on the city of Missouri
Valley adding $4O0 to the fund.
The papers We're started yester-
day afternoon and last night
one of the papers contained the
following donations:
j. d. Jones, $50,
w. Allen Jones, $50,
w. M. Jones, $50,
J. j. Deal, $50.
Other papers contain many
donations ranging from $25 to
S5 and the indications are that
the farmers will have no diff
ficulty in raising their pledge
and the city of Missouri Valley
should not hesitate in providing
the $500 required.
Editor Mo. Valley Times
We notice in your valuable
paper of last week your COM
ments on the scolding. as you
term it, that the farmers of the
Institute gave Mo. Valley.
Now please tote fair. Let
your thoughts quietly meander
back to the afternoon session
of February 26th, the last ses-
sion of the Institute, and tell us
truthfully if the manager of
one of the presses of Mo. Valley
did not give the farmers Of
Harrison county a scolding, and
rather an extraordinary one at
that. And yet the farmers
did not retaliate, with the ex-
ceptlon one or two who felt
they had a just cause to do so.
While | feel there were some
things said that had been better
left unsaid, owing to the spirit
manifested at the time, | also
feel your comment of last week
untimely and unfair to the
farmers of the Institute.
pehAt &c up IS tesiHgs SaT i9fGSSaad e&jSysd abdss+
ing the Valley and your state
lnent further that it comes nat
ural for the average granger to
have it in for the city man and
to abuse the townspeople, etc.,
we surely must differ with you
as to that, as we believe the
Institute tried to teach cooper
alton by the farmer and towns
people in everything for the
upbuilding of both town and
country and we, even in our
pent up minds will venture far
enough out into the great sea
of knowledge to say we believe
it was so understood by the ma
.jority in attendance. If it is
possible some of those present
did not so understand, again in
their own language we will say
we cannot begrudge them what
little fun they may have abus-
ing the farmers.
Now, if ever, is the oppor-
tune time for cooperation for
both good roads and good drain
age, so let us be reasonable, as
we assure you, dear Editor,
Mo. Valley is our town and we
have the greatest respect for
Mo. Valley and her people. Her
interests are ours and we farm
ers would like to feel our inter
ests to be of some interest to
her. j. E. Jones.

Death Of Miss kittie E. Tcft,
Miss Katharine Elizabeth Toft
died at the home of her aunt,
Mrs. j. w. Harris, in this city
Tuesday, March 10th, 1903, at
ll:45 a. M, after a short sick
ness.
The deceased was born in
Ellesnaore, England, and came
to America with her grandpa
rents her own parents having
died when she was quite young.
After the death OF her grand
parents, which occurred in Extra
Audubon Co. Iowa, she came to
Missouri Valley to make her
home with her aunt Mrs. j. w.
Harris, with whom she has con-
tlnued to reside until the time
of her death.
She united with the M. b.
church when quite young, and
later united with the Christian
Church, in which body she was
always an active, working mem
ber, serving in the position of
President of the Christian En-
deavor Society, and for a long
time Secretary of the Christian
Sunday School, having the love
and respect of all her associates
and classmates. She was kind
and lovable in disposition, and
always re- ~ for every good
word and Work. Her death was
calm, and !iE an innocent babe
falling to sleep on a mothers
bosom, she passed from life to
the great beyond, demonstrat-
ing the triumph of Christian
faith. She retained her mental
strength until the very last mo-
ment, and expressed her per-
l~ct resignation and willingness
dcllSe stllu laitll In ner luJure
and glorified life with the Son
of God her Savior, and almost
the last words spoken, after bid
ding her friends goodbye, she
asked her relatives at her bed
side: "What shall | tell your
friends for you when | meet
them over there??
How beautiful TO die the death
of Christian.
The funeral was largely atten-
ded, the members of Lillian
Lodge No. 20, D. of r., and the
Knights and Ladiesof Security,
of which the deceased was an
honored member, attended in a
body, and the church pulpit was
a bank of beautiful flowers, the
offering of loving hearts. The
funeral ceremonies was conduc-
ted by the following ministers:
Rev. Williams, of Christian
Church; Rev. MacAllister, OF
the Presbyterian Church; Rev.
Douglas, of the M. p. Church;
and Rev. Barber, of the Baptist
/ Church, with the Choir of the
Christian Church, assisted by
Miss McRae.
The body will be conveyed t.
Extra, there to be laid to rest by
the side of her grand parents
leaving here tomorrow morning
on the 9 o'clock train.

s5 GRANTS THEIR DEMANDS.
Northern Pacific Makes Concession
to Trainmen.


St. Paul, April 16.-An agreement
was signed Tuesday afternoon which
settles the differences between the
general officers of the Northern Pacific
railway and the committee represent
ing the trainmen. J.s.
BY the terms of the agreement the
freight trainmen will get an advance
of Is per cent in wages and the passen-
ger trainmen IL per cent. There will
be no double header trains run except
in two districts, and there an agree
ment with the men who will run the
helper engines has been reached. a,
The scale of the yardmep in Chicago
was raised half cent above that Of
the st. Paul yardmen.
This agreement is much the same as
that reached by the men with the Great
Western Southern Pacific, Santa Fe
and Union Pacific, and the arrangei
ment with the Great Northern and
Omaha will be the same.
BY the agreement more than 1900
men who are in the employ of the
Northern Pacific railway are directly
benefited, and by reason Of the fact
that the same terms will be asked Of
the Omaha and the Great Northern,
more than 5000 men are directly or in
directly affected by the decision just
reached. S i3 gsf
The settlement is the matter OF much
satisfaction to the men. They have
been in st. Paul four months nego-
tiating.
