Don't mourn for me. I wish

would be, how much more varied
would be our industries. how much
easier 1t would be to get good roads
in counties in which the white popu-

them, how easy it would be to
double the usefulness of our public

build railroads in sections which
must otherwise remain dormant and
backward for long, long years, how
important our cities should become,
and how mich more attractive
would be country life in our thick

DESERTED. WIFE
AND SEVEN CHILDREN
JOHN ANDERSON LEFT LARGE
FAMILy DESTITUTE WHEN
HE RAN AWAY FROM
THEM AT GEDDES.

City Marshall Dinsmore came up
from Geddes Tuesday evening and
this morning took charge of John
Anderson, who vas arrested here a
few da-.s ago, by Chief Shade. An
derson was recognized in a barber
shop by August Kirsheman, who
lives at Geddrs and happened to see
Anderson. He Informed the chief Of
the presence Of the fellow and he
was taken to Jail.
Anderson came here about ten
days ago from Geddes and worked on
the city sewers for a few days, and
has not been doing much Of any,
thing since he quit the Job. He has
been living at Geddes for several
months and has a wife and seven
children to his credit at that place,
for whom, it is said he has been a
poor provider.
Anderson was given a job by the
city authorities Of digging a grave in
the cemetery at Geddes, and after.
working a couple of huors, and had
the grave about a third completed, he
went to town, leaving his coat lying
on the ground. He went to the city
auditor and got him to advence a
couple of dollars on the job and then
proceeded to get full. That night
about ten o'clock Anderson cinsider-
ed the idea of making some easy mon
ey. He had several blank checks
which he filed out for small amounts
and signed his own name. He pre-
sented them to one Of the business
men and he cashed them. The next
morning Anderson got out OF town
and when the business man went to
cash the checks he discovered that
Anderson had no funds In the bank,
nor did the bank officials even know
the man.
When Anderson skipped out he
left his wife and children In desti-
tute circumstances and the county
has had to take care Of them since,

that they will have to keep It up for

Don't stick up your nose at the King
drag, says a Missouri editor. 1t will
make a sour road look sweet in less
time thar any other device known to
man. The only objection to it is that it is
too simple, 1t ought to have three or
four fly wheels. fifty or sixty cogs, and
few hunderd coil springs attached to it.
Then if Sass IF. o. b. Chicago were charg-
ed for it. it might come into general use.
AS it is, it is handicapped by cheapness.
Nobody wants road drag which costs on

or two from the windmill and fistfull
of skinned knuckles.

to the monthly meteorological summary
lust issued by United States Weather
Observer F. Montgomery, who IS IN
charge Of the Meridian bureau. The

less than one inch, being exactly o.86

of the past north as compared with the
same month in other years can be gained
from the fact that the average rainfall
for the past twenty years was SOL inches
There were four frosts during the month
light frosts occurring on the I2th, 18th
and 10Th.
The temperature for the month showed
some decided change. The highest tenn
perature was SO degrees on the zSth of

on the 10Th of the month. The greatest
daily range of temperature was 50 de-
