After having visited the ST.
Louis Fair and viewing some Of
the splendid scenes, a treat which
must ever live as an agreeable
Renaissance in the minds of al
who witnessed that matches
display, we arrived at our desti-
nation on August 10, 1904, anC
| took up our abode in small towr
of eight hundred inhabitants, sit
| uated on the Omaha & Kansas
| City railroad, 60 miles from the
Iowa boundary and 80 miles east
of Kansas City.
This is a prosperous country.
The surface is slightly undula-
ting, the soil is fertile and farm.
ing and stock-raising are the
chief pursuits. The raising OF
fine cattle is especially promi-
nent. At the Trenton, Mo-, Fair,
saw some of the finest and
heaviest cattle had ever seen.
Land sells on an average at $40
per acre.
The citizenship of our little
Burg is, for the most part, made
up Of thrifty, enterprising PEG
pie, who appear to enjoy prac-
ticing kindness and hospitality.
The larger portion Of the male
population Of our village and
county are either Democrats or
Folk Republicans and we offer
this fact as a plea for the intelli-
gence Of this particular locality
against the ''harsher'' reality of
the dear old States having so
ignominiously # a lie n from
grace" in the last National con-
test.
Our town has three churches
with regular services, two Sun
day-schools, one day school, three
dry-goods stores and one drug
store. We also have three min
listers, two doctors. one mayor,
two justices and a marshal.
Your humble scribe is nearing
the close of a very pleasant eight
month term Of school at a fairly
good salary, with some grounds
for the hope of raise" next
term. Our school is taught in a
large, brick college building,
which was the seat of a thriving
High School and College, until
twelve years ago when it was al
lowed to break down. An effort
is now being made to re-establish
the High School in the near flu
ture and, if this is successful, it
will reclaim this town and COM
munity from a sad retrograde in
school work
The extremely low temporal
lures, which, from reports, seem
to have prevailed over the United
States, certainly did not fail to be
appreciated in Northwest Mis-
souri,. Since the Xmas holi-
days our local thermometers
have often indicated a GOODNESS
of 20 degrees below; but it was
not until February 18th, that we
experienced our coolest wave.
On that morning, we awoke to
find the mercury 80 degrees be-
low zero.
The News reaches us on Friday
forenoon and we thoroughly en-
joy the perusal of its contents.

larged form and wish to thank
