OMAHA OBSERVATIONS

i There seems TO be plenty of moist
ure in the ground, but it is so hot.
The rains cool the air and help vege-
tatiOn very much.
We learn that Jim Golden, who
came in from Arizona with his son and
daughter a short time ago to visit
friends and relatives, is something of
a photographer
Mrs. Belle Davidson sold her horse,
Dandy, to George Andrews last week
and bought a lamb from Mrs. Nellie
Burcham.
There is talk of the people meeting
one day soon at the Omaha graveyard
and cleaning it up. Hope everybody
will turn out and do their best, and
bring a box, bucket or basket from
which to snack and all be sociable.
Just put on your old duds and come
out to make the resting place of our
dead look as if we care.

MOUNTAIN VIEW MATTERS.

Sunday school at this place is still
climbing.
School opened Monday with Mss
Irtie Thomas as teacher There are
only a few on roll owing to patrons
taking care of their peaches.
There are quite few peaches in
this vicinity this year, some Of the
people can't sleep at night for hauling
them.
We are needing rain at this place
now and if any one else has more
than they need we would be glad for
them to roll it around this way.
James Creel and wife are in from
Broken Arrow Oklahoma for visit
with relatives and friends.
Walter Robinson is at home helping
his father with his peach crop. He
will return soon.
R. B. White is i'll with typhoid fever.
His son and one of his daughters are
also quite sick but the doctors have
not decided what their ailments are.
Mr.. Whites baby girl died last week
from typhoid.

MARSHALL PRAIRIE MIsTS.

There seems to be some dissatis
faction in regard to vaccination Of the
school children in this part, yet the
school at the Davis school house is in
the forward move.
Wheat is all threshed, most Of which
gave an extra yield, John Jarrett
making rs bushels, the biggest crop
on the prairie.
Our hustling road overseer, Charles
Williams, has been doing some good
work in this vicinity which the peo-
pie in general and especially rural
carrier on ROut l appreciate.
George Arnold, who has been on an
extended visit in the eastern part Of
the state, returned Sunday.
Measles are still contagious in this
vicinity, Mamie Arnold being one Of
the latest victims.
We saw a man last week who said
he would buy some hogs, but have not
heard of single purchase. Curious ?
With corn prospects bright and
wheat at $3.50 the farmers do not
seem to be aware that plow shares
have doubled in price within twelve
months.
