The chilly breezes of the lin
gering winter have passed and
for several weeks we have been
in the embrace of real spring
all vegetation being clothed with
living green. Winter robs the
earth of beauty and life; sum-
mer may bring its arid breath to
droop and dwarf; autumn may
or may not yield to fond desires,
but Spring, lovely spring, gives
full measure in cheer, encour-
agement and promise. He, who
can not feel and appreciate the
wonderful impulse of spring,
whose ears are deaf to the mu-
sic of birds, eyes blind to the
beauty of nature, sweetened
with the fraga ace of flowers, is
indeed to be pitied. 1t is the
period of beauty, the season. of
promise-the real life giving
part of the year. 1t holds in its
EN- brace hopes and expectancy,
cheer and ambition, and yields
to no other foe, but the scorch-
ing rays of the summers sun.
Surrounded by all these inspiring
incentives of nature-looking
forward to the seasons of cult
walton and harvests, inspired by
an atmosphere of real life, it is
hard for me to drift into a re.
port of current events called
news, but it is news your read
ers want and it is news l must
give. This, as is generally
known, is an agricultural region,
and due to superabundance of
rain, farm work is not up to the
average season. Our pastures
are fine and all stock is doing
well. The livestock industry is
expanding rapidly in this part of
the country, especially cattle
and sheep. At present ST..
Louis is our market, and while
some distance, yet not so far af-
ter all, for stock loaded in the
morning here. is on that market
the next morning, a service al
most equal to passengers. This
is maintained by the M. & O.,
and has stimulated the stock in.
dustry in this country beyond
the expectation of the company.
Stock yards will soon be located
in Meridian, a hundred miles
south on the M. & O., and when
this is opened up, it will give g
home market that will further
stimulate. We have severa
dealers in livestock in this little
city, and one Of them stated t.
me a few days ago that he ship
ped, last year, 80 odd cars o.

Rev. Thomas Marksberry is

excited great deal of interest
at the timeand the trial promises
to be quite sensational.

wish l had the entire shipment
for this section, but it is not
available at this time. Only a
few years ago, it was only cot
ton and corn, and not a car of
livestock was shipped. When
this country's pastures are utiliz-
ed, its contributions to the mar
kets will impress the entire
country and lower the price of
choice meats. The acreage to 60
to cotton will not be increased
this year, regardless of the high
price this staple is bringing. but
a larger planting of corn seems
to be on the program. Vegeta.
bles are leaving our trucking
districts by the, car load lots, and
within a week or so the luscious
strawberry will follow. This is
in the face of an unusually late
cold spring. have never been
in a country where vegetation
grows as fast as it does here,
and l have never seen a place
where Germ could be made with
as little cultivation. The health
of this part of the world is fine
and has been ever since l came
here. The flu did not bother US,
and but little sickness of any
kind. This certainly suits me,
and l am enjoying better health
than usual. The storm, or rath-
er a cyclone, that swept through
this State, Alabama and into
Tennessee, last Tuesday, was by
far the worst visitation that ma
ture ever gave the South. It's
path, about a quarter mile wide
and at least two hundred long,
left death and destruction in it's
wake. 1t passed through the
western portion of this county
and nine lives were lost. In
Monroe county its fury was
more intense and through a
thicklier settled community,
touching the western part of
Aberdeen, and 20 odd lost their
lives. The many bruised or
crippled, and left homeless are
receiving the attention their
condition demands by the people
outside the stricken district
through the good organization
of the Red Cross. The comforts
of home and the necessities for
making crop are being provid-
ed. The, forces of nature can
not be understood; their powers
resisted, nor their destruction
forestalled. This part of the
south never experienced a real
lcyclone before. 1t may never
occur again. The visitation Of
cyclones, foods, drOuths and
earthquakes, teach that there i:

Mrs. George Stronach.

Mrs. George Stronach of Delhi died
at her home last Wednesday morning,
September Is, at nine-thirty O'Clock,

mia from which Mrs. Stronach had
suffered for long time. Funeral
services were held at the Delhi Church
Friday afternoon, the services being
conducted by the nephew of the de-
ceased, Rev Herbert McHenery of

son of the Delhi church. The pail
bearers who had been selected by Mrs.
Stronach sometime prior to her death
included John Borg, Neil Mckay, Don
aid Cummings, Peter Mckay, Jos.
Bunting, and j. A. Piersol.
Mrs. Stronach was one of the old
est of the Redwood County residents
and her life was closely linked with
the pioneer days of the history of the
county. In the funeral sermon Rev.
McHenery gave the following short
sketch of this long and useful life.
Hanna McLennan was born in Mid
die River Nova Scotia, June 1st, 1848,
moving with her parents to Bruce. On
tario, there helping to clear home
and under going the privations of the
early pioneer. After the death Of her
parents she moved to Minnesota and
then to Redwood county, where two
of her sisters had already settled with
their families.
Here she met and was united in
marriage to George Stronach, August
/, 1882 going with him to the farm,
which has been her home until the
time of her death, helping to make
her home on the raw prairie, under
going again the privations and also the
pleasures of the early settlers. Mr..

New Garage Built.

Work commenced early Monday
morning on the new Delhi Garage.
For some time L. Flore, the present
garage man, has been very overcrowd-
ed with work in his present quarters
and in order to take care of the grow
ing business at Delhi it becomes nee
essary to build larger quarters. The
plans call for an -up-to-date garage
in every respect, built of tile block,
with good brick front and it will be
a credit to Delhi and the community.
It will be 50x100 feet and should add
much to the appearance of the main
street. The site is the old Boehm COR
ner. The building is being put up by
r. " Ochs and will be occupied by
Lud Flore when completed. Unless
there are some unavoidable delays it
will be in readiness for this Falls bus
mess. This is another new improve
ment in Delhi and more are coming.
Mr.. Flore is first class mechanic
and we are pleased to see him doing

EXPERIMENTATION
PLANS ANNOUNCED

Articles of incorporation of the
Eureka-Hamilton Mines company
we're fled at Carson on Thursday by
Thomas ]. Lynch Of Tonopah, who
with Julius Goldsmith, well known
Divide operator, purchased recently
the Ward mine at Hamilton for the
new Corporation. Lynch was accom-
panied by H. z. Peters, mining en-
gineer. who has lately examined n
sampled the Ward property and who
will have charge of the company's OPP
erations. A certified check for $780,
900, constituting the second payment
on the purchase price of $4,000, was
among the contents of Lynch's wallet,
and will be given at nee to r. G..
Ward, owner of the property, who
lives at Tonopah.
Hamilton. situated about midway
between Eureka and Ely, was n of
the most prolific s~ilved-lead districts
of Nevada and the mines of Treasure
Hill developed some of the richest
ore bodies known to the industry.
The Ward property, embracing an
area of 23O acres in seventeen loca-
tions, some of which r patented,
adjoins the famous Eberhardt bonan-
"a. The 1Eberhardt tunnel, extend
ing nearly a mile into Treasure Hill
is within 800 feet of the Ward ground
and the Eureka-Hamilton manage
ment will seek permission to develop
the southern part of its history
through this adit.
Engineer Peters, after an exhaust
i've sampling of the mine workings,
estimates at 100000 the measure
able and probable ore in the Ward
group. In recent years production
has been limited to small shipments
by lessees. but a considerable amount
of development work has been done
by Ward and his father. both expert
enced miners. The ore is found along
an anticlinal fold in limestone and Is
a contact vein between lime and shale
Three shafts, varying in depth from
rs to $40 feet, have connected with
a tunnel $50 feet long. For a dis
lance of $50 feet this tunnel is in
good mill ore, with sections of ship
ping grade, a block of ore forty by
eighteen feet averaging S30.31 per
ton. This. ore is within $50 feet of
the Eberhardt tunnel and thirty feet
above the tunnel level. The com-
pany is being financed by Nevada,
California and Eastern men and de-
yelopment work and will be started
shortly and conducted on a substan-
tial scale. r. G. Ward is president
Of the company, julius Goldsmith is
vice-president, and Thomas j. Lynch
is secretary and treasurer. The Off
ces of the Characterization company
will be in Reno.-Reno Gazette.
