SOME POINTERS ON MISSOURI
LrNNEus. Mo. Dec. %. 100

LINNEUS, MO-, Dec, ", lSUo.
EDITOR CENSOR: We are having a
fine winter SO far. Have only had two
fiurries of snow, and they only lasted
about twenty-four hours. The ground
is bare and stock is grazing on the
fields. | am feeding a small feed of hay
In the lots at night, but have only fed
two days SO far this winter. Our cold
est spell was four degrees above zero,
on the day that you had 2S below. 1t
has been rather dry here since July, and
our roads are smooth as floor. Crops
were not very good this season-corn
was uneven, some fields only made 20
bushels per acre, while others went so
to so; hay was good crop and was put
up in excellent condition. Oats and
wheat were light crop, apples medium,
cherries good, some pears but scarcely
any peaches
This being a stock country, the slump
in stock hits pretty hard; still there is
plenty of money in this locality. This
section is very closely in touch with the
markets, every stockman gets his daily
market paper; in addition TO this we get
reports each day at 10 a. IN, direct
from Chicago through our bank and
over our rural telephone lines. The
banks here get tbs most of their busi-
ness from the stockmen. They have a
room with tables and chairs and market

peeted 10 go in and make themselves at

any of them on the market We leave
our station o'clock Scaday morning
and reach Chicago about the same hour
Monday morning. We take the train
at 6:10 Monday evening and reach home
at Z o'clock Tuesday morning
So far as know, all the Vernon county
people who are here are healthy and
doing well, and / thinL are satisfied
Quite few nave begun dairying here,
mostly new comers, though the natives
would rather keep steers. And what a
native Missourian doesn't know about
cattle hasn't been found out yet. Quite
few farms have sold lately, and l un-
derstand there are a good many in
quiries for farms Land has made
good advance since bought.
We continue to like this country.
There are five families from old Vernon
here now Wishing old friends a
Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year, beg to remain
Yours truly, S. M. AKER.

Christmas Observance.

Christmas was cold one in Viroqua,
high wind, low temperature and fall of
fine drifting snow At all the churches
the glad tidings of Christmas were sung
and celebrated with abundance Of gifts
dangling from ladened trees Programs
of songs and praise were carried through.
Christmas day was given to family
and neighborhood gatherings. With
his customary generosity, Henry Linde-
mann, President of the Bank of Viro-
qua, gave every child and person in the
city greeting and treat at the bank,
covering period of two hours Nearly
six hundred children and adults partook
Of his hospitality, each recording their
name in the books Mr.. Lindemann has
kept for that purpose many years. Neat
boxes of candy were presented to every
child, the adults being provided with
fruits, sweetmeats and cigars. Mr.. Lin
demann appeared as happy in this annu-
al greeting as did the hundreds of friends,
little and big, who call to pay their re-
spects and accept his favor.
In the evening merry party OF sixty
couples joined in the dance given 10y the
band, which was a most enjoyable af-
fair

FIFTY YEARS OF wEDDED LIFE.
Tie Golden Anniversary OF Rev. and Mrs. Geo. ".
Nuzum Observed IN Becomin Way.

One of the really enjoyable occasions
| cf the season was the informal reception
arranged by Pastor Buffers and his con-
s,Tegation and given in honor of our
good and venerable friends and neigh.
| Dors, Rev. and Mrs. Geo. W. Nuzum,
| Monday evening. TIE church where
I the reception was held, contained a
large number of kindred and friends,
old and young who extended heartiest
greetings. After all had expressed
| pleasure r. netting the couple of 1fty
years married life, the party took seats
| in the auditorium and an hour of song
and congratulary talks were given, Rev.
Buffers acting as master OF ceremonies.
Pleasant and feeling remarks were made
by Revs. Haughton, Steman, Kline. But
ters, Col. Butt, Mayor Cohiand, Judge
Mshoney, f. w. Alexander, L. @. Boyle
Miss Lucy Dawson and O. G. Munson.
Rev. Nuzum made fitting response, ex-
pressing the satisfacsionit 1t afforded him
self and wife to be greeted thus by kind
friends. Refreshments were served.
At the reception were nine of the ten
living children of Mr. and Mrs. Nuzum:
Rev Frank Nuzum, Eau Claire; Mrs,
T. J. Snodgrass, River Falls; John e.
Muzum, Viroqua; DR.. Thos, w. Nuzumi
Brodhead; &. w. Nuzum Spokane;
Mrs. Lucy Grubb, Mauston; Mrs. Mat
tie Foulkes, Lodi; Rev. Willard Nuzum,
Portage, Mrs. Jessie Hunter, Brodhead
The other son, Mutton e. Nuzum of
Spokane, was unable to be present.
Mr. and Mrs. Nuzum were married in
Perry county, Ohio. He entered the
ministry at the age Of nineteen and soon
after was licensed to preach, joining the
Ohio Methodist conference in 1885,
year later removing to this county, and
his first work as a boy preacher here
was on Bad Axe circuit, giving 25 years
to active preaching here and at other
places. For some years he has lived
retired, although not an inactive life.
on his farm south of the city, where
much of joy and Gods blessings; have
came to him and his noble wife. They
have been blessed with wealth Of sons
and daughters that bring just pride to
them az they descend the golden wes-
tern slope of life. The deeds of kind
ness, acts Of charity, words of comfort
performed and uttered by Geo. W. Nuz-
um have been and are yet common as
the coming and going of days The daily
life of Father and Mother Nuzum should
be an inspiration to their children SO
long as memory serves them. In their
family are two preachers and two law
yers, ara T. IS -in-law they number
two pres chers. They have twenty -eigh6
grand chi dren.
During his ministerial work Mr.. Nu-
zum has married above ore thousand
couples, and attended fully as many
funerals. Mr.. Nuzum it II years old,
his wife one year his senior. Physical
ly and mentally they have much of life
before them, and spiritually they are as
children in the happy thought of the
great beyond. May they be spared
many years to enjoy the fruitfulness of
their labors and association of kindred
and neighbors, is the CENsoR's wish for
itself and the public.
