Roselle Items.

Cold, windy weather with hard
freezes at night, which will retard
the growth OF wheat and vegita-
ton, that was putting forth such a
rapid movement toward the out
break of spring.
VIM. T. Wood, of Doe Run,
visited relatives in Roselle Sun
day, returning Monday.
Frank Inman visited home folks
Saturday, returning to his en-
ployment at Fredericktown Mon
day.
The sad intelligence announcing
the death of John Polk, of Doe
Run, Sunday, has just reached US.
Johnnie was a former resident of
Roselle, having been born and
reared in this neighborhood. He
was a bright, intelligent young
man. He died of pneumonia fever
after suffering many days. Many
friends and relatives will mourn
his loss. He leaves o. widowed
mother, who also is in a very pre-
carious condition of health. He
was a faithful member of the
Modern Woodmen of America.
May God console the sorrowing
mother and relatives, in this sad
hour of trouble.
Our school closed last Saturday.
Miss G. Downs has faithfully dis
charged her duty to the very best
of hx ability, as do all teachers.
The pupils had a very interesting
programme, which all enjoyed
very much. Afterwards a treat
was served and then came the
parting hour. None can realize
how sad a teacher feels when the
last day of school comes, except
those who have filled this sacred,
but sometimes called unthankful,
position. We know how to SYM
pathize with our worthy brothers
and sisters in this case, having
had several years of experience.
Carter Blanton and sister at
tended the school entertainment
Saturday, from Flatwood. We
feel somewhat indebted to Carter
for so ably and ~expressively de-
livering his two eloquent adj
dresses, which all enjoyed very
much. There is power and ora
tory possessed by this young man,
which he should cultivate to a
greater extent.
Freddie Henry is quite sick at
present.
Clara Pogue is able to Sit up,
for which all are thankful. Mr..
Pogue undoubtedly needs the SYM
pathy of all since having been left
alone with his little children by
the death of his amiable wife a
few monts ago. PANsY.

Weld like to hear a word from you
To all the peoples cry.
Are you for or 'gainst the growing evil?
Shall the COW and her offspring
Continue to raise the devil?
Shall they still parade our sidewalks,
And open all our garden gates?
Eat up our cabbage and turnips,
And then boiler for their mates?
Shall they wake us in the morning,
When we want a little sleep?
Shall they ding-dong all night long,
Worse than ten thousand sheep?
Now put yourself On record,
So hat we can make a note,
Then when we 60 to the polls
We will know how to vote.
