I t 2 Ti if SA A U t 2 r - TWENTY SECOND YEAR lie From the Sunny Southland Mt Olive Miss Mar 12 19M Mb Kimmkll Wo promised tho old friends in Nebraska we wuld write a -letter and give tbem rii idea of our Mie sippi homo and have failed to do ho but will give them a few hints if you will print it in your popular little Tribune Mt Olive is a pretty little burg not quite so large as our dear old McCook but more picturesque I think The grand old trees are beautiful and are al ways ringing with the songs of beauti ful birds It has about 4000 inhabi tants a largo saw mill two wholesale houses a cotton gin and will soon have a compress and an ice plant The busi ness part of the town is larger than Mc Cook by far aud has a groat cotton trade The weather 16 beautiful it is as warm today as any July day in Nebraska The fruit trees are all budding and some are in blossom and tho air is laden with the perfume of every kind of flower I will do as Mr Dobson did send you all an invitation to dine with us We will give you all fresh vegetables and fried chicken California isnt tho onlv place thoy are having all those good things to eat We have somo beautiful plantations surrounding our little town where great crops of cotton are raised and they are getting S87 a bale for it now On Sat urdays it seems too dark for the sun to shine when the coons come to town in their bright colors 1 think

Southern home very much Again inviting you all to pay us a visit I will say au revoir I remain as ever Frances McChesney Selby Dick Wedding On the evening of March 15 1904 at the residence of the

Three packages of nice fresh garden seeds for 5c at Colemans Thoroughbreds to be Assessed Higher It is requested by the attorneys in the case of Harrison and Harrison vs Tho County of Red Willow that

although the same are not before me for judicial determination 1st Assessors in listing property may take into consideration anything that will enhance the value of the prop erty listed and they may fix a valuation in accordance therewith So in listing live stock the fact that the stock to be listed are full blooded or thoroughbred stock eligible for registeration or such stock when registered may be consid ered by them as more valuable than or- Be Strong- This Spring Spring finds many tired and de bilitated This condition is a forci ble warning of bad blood nells Sarsaparilla cures the
