FoiV Dollars a Dushel for Oats-Seed

Two Host Valued Citizens Called Sud
denlj Awaj-Maglc Healer in t'ridence
Last Week's Stoim Severe A Mar
riage. Organ Church, March 4, 1$02.
We heard one of our .farmers
lasl week offering four dollars a
bushel for seed bats, or some
thiug.to that effect. He said he
would give.an acre of fall sown
oats, which, counting prepara
tion of land, seed apd fertilizer,
cost him four dollars for a bush
el of bats to sow his spring crop.
He got no oats. The trouble is
our farmers sowed a large acre
age in oats last fall. The severe
winter billed it and now they
have none left for seed.
The early sown wheat looks
tolerably well or at least you can
sec there is something on the
ground, whilo the later sowing
has been almost, if not entirely,
killed while the still later sowing,
that that came up since Christ
mas has a fairly good stand.
On the whole the outlook for
a wheat crop in our red -land
section is gloomy indeed.
Mr. John Hartman, ,tho . Mag-
1C
healer, has located m our
midst and hung out his shingle,
so to speak, and is kept quite
busy. He makes a specialy of
chronb cases, consumption, epi
lepsy, etc. Ho being in our
"burg" but a short time we are
not able to say what success Trill
crown his labors.
Mrs. Laura Holshouser, wife
of Mr. Eli'Holshouspr, while vis

ralysis His wife and brother,

bedside to find him in an uncon-

curred about 10 o'clock p. m.
Dr. McM airy was called but did
not get there till after he was
dead. In hs post mortem ex
amination he obcided he had
meningitis. His body also was
buried at Organ church.
Organ church has lost two
members that will be sadly
missed. " Mrs. Holshouser had
passed the sixty -third milepost
in her earthly pilgrimage. She
was one of the original members
of the Woman's Home and For-
eign Missionary Society, organ
ized more than ten years ago.
Mr. Kluttz was pa'st fifty-five.
