Writes From Top of Hurricane

Editor Kentuckian:

ter this letter reaches you. | am
now on top of what is known as Hur
ricane Hill in Todd county. The
putting and whistling of an engine
we hear is not a railroad engine but
we call it lumber engine-20 horse
power-climbing this long steep hill
with two log wagons hitched to it
loaded with logs on its way to the
mill. Just under the hill stands an
oId-time schoolhouse called Push Off.
with chimney and large fire place.
See the children laughing
AS they drink from the sparkling
spring,
With the goldenrods to blossom
yellow
And the birds their melodies sing.
Here the professor handed me a
yellow flower, such as | am sure my
friend in the city was telling me he
saw from the car window, and l
thought probably it grew from q
seed from the prairie and remark
ed, How wonderful nature distri-
butes her colors." One sees large
fields of goldenrod from any rail-
road. l walked along on top of this
hill for some distance, here | turned
north and climbed down for half a
mile and then looked for the Drip
ping Rock. l walked along by the
spring and back to the hill. This is
certainly a picturesque place.
went far back under the rock which
projects far enough to shelter hun
dreds of people. Here l picked up
pieces of slaves from a moonshine
still that had been burned. AS /

From Hurricane Hill, will;
Lordy, how it pants man,
Climbing up this awful hill.
take my trips on foot. AS mat
ter of fact there is no finer or more
beneficial form of exercise thar
walking.
If the young folks will come to my

to tell them about the social life ir

LABOR DAY
Was Generally Observed Here
By Keeping At 1t.

AS a holiday labor day was a fail
ure here. In fact, it never has
amounted to anything. There are
so many who can't afford to take a
holiday that the few who can have
the day to themselves. The post
office people had a good time the
best part of the day and the men in
the banks didn't open up. So many
of the men about the court house
are candidates for Office and are SO
busy electioneering, and it being
county court day besides, that it
was just like any other old first
Monday to them.

HOgShead Market Still Remains
Quiet But Very
Firm.
CUTTING SEASON IS NOW ON
The Rains Have Helped TIL e
Late Crops To Some
Extent.

The hogshead market remains very
quiet but firm with holders of tobac-
co not disposed to make any concess-
ions and the situation all tends to
higher prices. The small stocks now
on sale and the crop in the field es-
timated at only about 65 per cent of
the average, makes the condition
very interesting. The field GRO p
shows some Improvement. especially
wherever rains have fallen and this
is in nearly every locality. In q
number of counties the estimate of
the crop is from 25 per cent to SO
per cent of the average. Some cut
ting has already been done and il
will be on in full blast next week
While much of the tobacco will be
small in size it will all be Of thick
leathery texture and very gummy
and the heavy weight will go far to-
ward making up for the small size
In some favored instances crops will
be unusually fine for any year. But
there is bound to be a big shortage
in the amount produced and the
coming season is expected to be q
lively one with prices running high.

A Number Of the Aboriginal Big
StOneites Hold a Fellows ip
Meeting

Last Monday the Herald Ad
vance editorial bungalo was the
scene of a very happy gathering
of old time Big Stone maids and
gallants- or at least those who
were maids and gallants in the
'7Os and early 'SOs, before the
good prairie sod of Grant county
was cut up into wheat fields and
corn patches, and a couple of
lovers leaving Big Stone City for
a moonlight stroll could wander
across the prairie to the west
side OF the county without meet
ing with any obstruction in the
form of fences or buildings
The party Monday evening con
sisted of Sam G.. Jones and wife,
John A Munro and wife, and d.
S. Cable and wife of Wilmot, F.
w. Thorndike and wife and Cor.
rad Puder and wife of Big Stone,
City, and Thomas Dawson and
wife of Appleton, MINI Many
of the almost forgotten incidents
of the early days were brought
to mind by the several members
of the company, and the pecu-
liarities of the various characters
and Incidents of note that mark
ed the progress of the pioneer
days made the gathering very
delightful one--a mum Der of the
local items of the period being
copied from the files of the Big
Stone Herald in which the
grandpas of today figured as We
youthful lovers and ris ng young
professional and business men at
that time. Another very enjoy
able feature of the occasion was
the reading of a letter of regret
from several early day residents,
among these being one from Rev.
S. w. Simonds Of San Diego,
Cal, one from DR.. l.. S. Osborne,
of Fitsgerald, Ga, one from Sara
(Bean) Haight, of Minneapolis,
and one from Henry Neill of
Aberdeen, all expressing regret
that they could not be present at
the reunion and attesting their
kindly remembrance of old
friends of the early days in Big
Stone, when they were poor but
happy and ambitious and the old
world was very pretty and prom
