This is another miserable day and seems calculated to put the finishing touches on the fruit destruction and possibly on the wheat and oats and the early garden truck- as well. The heavy rain storm of last evening culminated in a freeze and snow storm and flakes of snow have been falling all day long but melting about as fast as they fell. It is a sure thing that the weatherman got March and AprHT mixed up when he made this year’s calender. Herman Churchill, who arrived here a few days ago from Oklamoma City, Oklahoma, will leave in a day or two for Bethany, Mo., near which town, he has purchased a farm of 240 acres, and where he expects to make his future home. We tried to make “Kid” think that he should forsake the life of single-blessedness and work the balance of his days in double harness, but he said “Not for me,” but we believe from the wistful and far away look in his eyes, that he’s more than half willin’ and possibly that he has some plans along that line pretty well developed already. Bethany is the county seat of Harrison county, in the northwestern part of Missouri, and is a town about the size of Rensselaer. Herman says he has a fine farm and bought it right.

The Brook Reporter and its gifted editor are taking a deep interest in affairs in Jasper county. It is too bad that such marked talent is smothered by the limitations of a small town. We never see the Brook Reporter and read the brilliant dashes from Orie’s pen but that we feel that the name of Orle B. Stonehill should have an “Hon.” in front of it and he should be giving the world a: sample of his genius and statesmanship. The elegance of Mr. StonehlU’s language, the apt and cute similes he embodies in his rhetorical comment on matters of the time, brand him a scholar of the finest culture and add to the pity that he is limited to the environments of Brook. If we were inclined to give advice we should say to him: "Seek the city, Orie, where opportunity commensurate with your talent exists.” But advice is so cheap and then we believe that Brook juid Newton county needs him and perhaps the circumstance of his settling in so small a place was really ordained of higher power. Go to it Orie, we are all with you, and await your succeeding issues with feverish anxiety. “Doan’s Ointment cured me of eczema that had annoyed me a long time. The cure was permanent.”— Hon. S. W.
