My Dear Little Friend:—
When your good letter of Sept.
1 reached we, I was in bed at
Chlnkiang with typboidfever,and
only now am I finding time to
aaswer yonr letter, which I ap
preciated very much.
Yon perhaps have beard bow
I took fever on my way from
Taian here. Taian the eighth of
September, hopiog to get here
within a month; bat we didn't
get here until December. I,
having been delayed by my
sickness. It is only about 200
miles from here to Tsin, and
yet we came about a thousand
miles to get here. We came
by water and made it this long
distance because the country
roads, over which we would
have had to travel, were so
muddy we could hardly get
along in barrows. Then, too, it
was much cheaper to come in
boats and far more comfortable
than traveling on wheel barrow.
We traveled two days and a half
by barrows to get to the boat.
Adelaide, my oldest t-iece, and
I rode on one barrow together,
Ibrtha and Mattie on another,
and Sam and Thornton on an*
other. My brother had a
bicycle. We bad bedding.
Valists, and dinner baskets on
par bsrrows. At night we had
ttf unpack ' our bedding and
make down our beds in the
Idas where we slept as best we
could with flees, mosquitos, and
- other insects getting their sup
per off of ns. The first night
• an seven 01 us slept in one
> small room‘ on rude Chinese
• beds on whiob we spread oar
T bedding. Tbe next night we
had a room about 30 ieet long,
bnt not one piece of farniture in
i it, except an old rickety table
• and a bench or two. The land
lord spread down some straw on
, tbe dirt floor and we made onr
' bed on that, tbe children and I
• sleeping across one end of tbe
■ room and brother in the other.
: We bad some soup and dump
- Hugs for supper. I did not
i. sleep very well, partly because
. of the discomfort, but mostly,
, I guess, because I whs then tak
• tag the fever. When we got on
the boat we could make our
\ beds up and feel like we were
1 at boma.
2 At night oar boat tied up by
. the side of the canal, along with
i many other boats, and then was
[ generally a great chatter and
, noise among these boatmen, so
it was rather bard to sleep even
. on tbe boat.
There are eleven of os here
’ living in one home—Mr. nod
Mr. Blalock (two of onr misslon
- dries), my older brother and his
i five children, ood my younger
brother ana bis wife. We have
. a house full, but era are the only
• foreigners within two days jour
ney from here. We had to stud
[ a four days journey foe a doctor
r w wwe tor mrs. uuioc*. no
- other foreigners ever lived here,
‘ *0 the people era very curious
J end come ia great crowds to sot
. os. Kvety day than come
. twenty, thirty, or mors women,
to see," ss they say. Some ask
to bear, and I try to tell them oI
> Jesus who died for them. Some
htve come time sad sysla to
bear, aad I trust they may at the
Last Day be numbered with
r God’s own cboeeachildren; yea,
. I believe one. at least, already

_ Mr. R. D, Martin, County
Crop Reporter, hss received
from the United States Depart
meat of Agriculture a special
volume "Diseases of the
Horses," pages «00. Tbe book
was prepared with great care by
some of the most eminent men
bmn of tbe veterinary profession
of America. It is far better for
a farmer to have at his com
mand tbe advice of veterinarians
eminent in their profession than
for Mm to follow tbe absurd,
barbarous methods of treat
ment of so called bone doctors.
Tbe book cannot fail to be of
immense service.
