With the free selling of the grain we
are likely to be tied up for cars. We
are getting better car service than
ever before but have more tonnage to
handle and are in no better shape than
formerly. Our local warehouses are
full and we have nearly as much more
piled upon platforms
E. w. Eaves of the Vollmer- Clear

has also been buying about $4,000 daily.
THE grain is not so badly damaged as
we had anticipated" said Mr.. Eaves to-
day. "The farmers are losing from 8

and they are receiving from 55 to so

up to the estimates. 1t will reach

The excitement is spreading to other

people are gathered about the corri-

The mob became unmanageable and
the police finally succeeded in locking

Shortly after II O'Clock this morn
ing several wagons loaded with gold
were brought to the front of the build

into the banks. This, however, had
but slight effect upon the mob and the
demand for its money continued.
The fact that the Mississippi VAL

company a smaller banking institu-
ton, but so far it has promptly met
all demands.

LETTER WRITING

Lettar writing is not the hard job to me that I hear men complain of. read in the papers, that the old time interesting, entertaining letter of the fathers is go- ing out of fashion. This is to be regret ted. I can't understand why father writ ing to hIs children or friend writing to a friend will be duh or prosy when lit- tie effort will make the receiver not only glad of remembrance, but pleased with the style. can recollect some old letters of painful penmanship and neglected or thography, disdainful of grammar. but for all that, they were pleasing on &C., count of the heart to heart utterances, of remembrance, of tenderness, of love. And if the unlettered can make letters pleasant and interesting the well in- formed are culpabie in failure. Long ago learned the necessity of effort in friend ly correspondence because a friend in- formed me that he sacredly preserved every letter he received from me. The chances are that when I have crossed to that country from whose bourne no traveller returns that many and many a time some letter I have written, mouldy
 with years, will be read and re-read. So. the letter to my brother, my sister, my friend and my child should be character istic, And I have studied so to do this that in all my efforts of writing I can safely leave om my name anu suh pe known.
