The day was delightful, and never was a happier day spent, not because we were glad to have Mrs. Brascg move away, but be cause she convinced us that this move was for the best and aleo convinced our union that she would meet with us often in the future. So we spread the table andatoand chatted and enjoyed our selves socially until late in the day and said, "God be with you," and dispersed. The officers of our union, and one hon orary member, Ben F. Praise -rater, were present. In all twenty-three, members of W. C. T. U. with four icvi'ed guests, were present.

We believe the teachers of our rur.il schools should wiirn and caution the children of their respective schools, that it is a violation of the postal laws, pun ishablc with n heavy line, for anyone to interfere with, or injure in any way any mail box upon the ruial routes. A com plaint has been made t-iat some of tho bluff City school children are in the habit of throwing sticks and other mis siles -.it tho mail boxes along their routes to and from school; they are aiso given to opening the boxes and slamming the lids these are alt violation of the law. and unless stonped will in time get the perpetrators in trouble. Jake Linville, manager of our can ning factory, had a cluse call Friday of last week, that came i.ear depriving him of his left arm. One of the corn cutters was not running as smoothly and doing its work to the Satisfaction nf Manager Liaville, and he concluded to do a little "doctoring," and do it with out stopping the machine, and he pro ceeded to do the fixing, when in a very brief space of time Lis sleeve was caught up by the cogs of the machina and bis wrist was earned into the machine and it proceeded to do its work to make mince meat out of his arm. Fortunately for Mr. Linville the machine was stopped before tbe wrist was torn off, but not until it had become badly lacerated. It was a very narrow escape for Mr. Lin ville, and hereafter he will doubtless stop "de machine," when wishing to do some fixing. Ab a rule land buyers look for a pretty level country when choosing a new home, but that is where they make a big mistake. They pay enormous prices frequently for inferior land. The hills adjoining White Cloud can be bought for a song compared to the pric.-s paid for some of the pretty land. For an example of what these old washed hills will produce, the G.obe can say that J. Lahmer owns a patch of about ten acres that is as rough as any land in this section tbat will net him about $1200 this year. It is all in snull fruit such as berries melons, apples and peaches, and though Mr. Lahmer owns quite a bit of other land in Brown and Doniphan county, this is the most pro ductive piece of all. White Cloud, (Kas.,) Globe. These remarks are ap plicable to the hill lands of Holt county. They are of the loes formations, and no better fruit lands can be found on the American continent. Jim Keeney has made the first corn exhibit for the year. On Saturday last he brought us four ears he had pro duced on the Will Pennel farm just east of town. There are fvo ears that meat ure 13 inches; one 13J inches and one H inches in length. They are splendid specimens of this cereal, and our people shouid heed our articles on the corn ex hibit and premiums for the coming World's fair, and we hope our county court at the coming October term will name some good man who will take charge of this matter, so that Holt county will be present at the World s fair in the shape of a corn exhibit. Mr. M. D. Walker gathered grasses; Mr. N F. Murray is now looking after the fruits, and now we want eome one to look after the corn exhibit. Holt county was "in it" at the Chicago World's fair, in fruit, live stock and canning products, and she should be "in it" at the St. Louis World's fair in 1904. Clarence E. Erwin, whose home is in Mound City, but who is now serving Uncle Sam in the regular army, recently hud a very thrilling and narrow escape from an untimely death by drowning off the coast of California. Erwin and eight other comrades rowed out to the battleship New York that was anchored seven miles off the coast. When they started back in the evening a thick fog set in and they drifted about on the ocean billows until early morning, when a storm came up and upset their frail craft. They clung to the sides of the boat until picked up by a passing steam er and were taken to Seattle, Wash. It was two weeks before they returned to their post at San Francisco, and this with the finding of the overturned boat, led to the report that Erwin and hia companions had met a watery grave. Just prior to the above incident Erwin had been returned from the Philippines, his enlistment having expired. He will come home in November, but as he has been offered a commission, so we under- stand, he will return to San Francisco later and re-enter the army. Jenerson-ian.

The Holt County Teachers' meeting will be held at Oregon, October 15, 16.T7 Judge William C Toole, who lives at 809 North Fourth street, St. Joseph, Mo., has several claims to distinction. He is the oldest living citizen of St. Jo sepb, having moved there in 1838. He is the oldest lawyer in Buchanan coun ty, and, perhaps, in Missouri, having been admitted to practice in 1848. He is the only man living who witnessed the first judicial proceeding in Buchan an county and also the oldest living man having been elected to tne court oi bk Dleac in 1863. He need to be a cal preacher, and has preached in St, Joseph more years than any other sun. Ex. BSS
