Letter from Mrs Kerfoot. The News has just received the following letter from Mrs Anna Kerfoot who now lives near Ho bart, Okla. Mrs. Kerfoot former ly lived about three miles south of Jasper where Wm. Bryant now lives. The letter is dated October 14 and is as follows "Please find draft inclosed to pay our subscription to the News a year ahead and one year's sub scription to the Missouri Ruralist. We can't get along without the News. "Wo were victims of the terrible cyclone that passed through here the 37th of April last and had nearly everything blown away, and I received a serious cut on my hand." Yours, respectfully. MRS. ANNA KERFOOT.

This can not be done unless the state can have money to contribute wherever and ' whenever nteded. Of course there are a few excellent rural schools j but there are many that can give the'Students but a six-month term and this without proper material books and apparatus to make the work interesting and profitable . You will all agree that the farm 'community is the great reservoir I from which most of our men of 'note have come.
