Denver Dots.

For the last few days we have had
real April weather Of alternate SUN
shine and showers until today (MOn
day) the sunshine prcdOminates to the
delight of all. There was cOnsidera :
| BILE frost for several mornings, which
! seemed to do very little damage, ex-
| cept to very tender vegetation, such
! as beans and tomatoes. The fruit
seems ali right yet, though much of it
| were beneficial, as the soil needed just
that much more moisture TO make it
plow well. Farmers arc pushing
ahead rapidly with their work and the
| cotton crop will soon be planted. Very
few are through planting yet.

it is Il noble sentiment that prompts
our people to build monuments TO our
Confederate dead and strew their
graves with flowers, but more attcn-
ton should be paid to those who nre
living in indigence and sick. They
may not DO destitute 0f the iieces5arics
OF life, but the sick need many con-
forts. A paltry pension of seventeen
or eighteen dollars will not afford
many or these to say. nothing of doc
