The Last One, We Pray.

Thursday afternoon brought to us
nice April shower, but late in the even
ing the drops turned into flakes. The
wind raised, and early in the night the
storm was upon us full blast, heavy
wind with sleet and driving snow, the
temperature falling to below zero
The storm continued all through the
night and Friday morning and Friday
night, seemingly to have not subsidized
the least bit the entire thirty-six hours
II ragged.
Roads were blocknded and people
showed in till Tuesday, only just few
coming to town on horseback or with
four-horse teams for their supplies.
So dense and heavy was the blizzard
the trains were stopped for four or five
days. The mixed train became stalled
in the cut just north of Hill Top, and
did not reach Hill Top in time to pass
the passenger, which proceeded on to-
wards Denver when its time was up to
go. The passenger plowed through the
drift which stalled the freight and
went head-on into it. Both engines
We're demolished.
The rotary came over the road Mon
day, and by Tuesday trains were rum
ming on schedule time.
The countryside seems to he gradu-
ally getting greener, and farmers are
happy although travelling is somewhat
difficult. The blizzard was general.

the purchase of proved bulls OF high
producing ancestry is made pos
sible. By using these animals
comparatively few good bulls cnn
take the place of all the Inferior bulls
formerly found in the community.
An example of what the bull asso-
citation can do In improving the type
of sires is found In the South Gibson
Bull association Of Susquehanna coun'
.ty, Pa. This association has 20 mem
bers who own a total of 3S2 cows.
Before the bull association was formed
there were ID bulls In the community
with a total valuation OF $1,000. After
organizing, only four bulls were needed
and these were purchased ut a total
cost of $4,000. The average invest
ment in each of the ID bulls In use
before organizing was S561.54, but
utter the association was formed the
average Investment was 81 200 for each
of the good bulls. In this way each
dairyman Ind the use of bulls that
were twice MS valuable as the bulls
used formerly, and at the same time
his Investment wis SIPS less.
The southern states have been found
especially well adapted to bull asso
citation work. Dairying in these staes
Is making rapid strides. and producers
have shown great interest in improved
dairy cattle. Twenty OF the associa-
tfons organized during the past year
are credited to the South, six associa-
lions having been formed in Mississip-
ri, four in North Carolina. three In
South Carolina, two each In Alabama,
Georgia and Tennessee and one In
Louisiana. a.

Calf. on their way to Chicago, stop
ped over here, Saturday and Sunday
last, TO see IL they could find any one
he used to know here in the years
gone by; but alas, scarcely any now
remains, he says.
His father was John Sturm, and the
family used to live on the old MunSon
place in the Bluff City section, and left
here for the West in 1864, when the
visitor was only II years Of age.
The family were active members Of
the German NJ. T.. church, and they
were warm friends Of the Schlotz-
hauers, Gemeckers, Philip Rostock,
and he remembers Philip and Dan
Schultz. He soon found on inquiry
that most Of these had long since
crossed the river of life, and Of the
number he learned that Mother
Schlotzhauer, now SO years Of age, and
Phlip Schultz were still living.
