aiT n i A Vtntri trotTnl !
UUl D till ttu ucuiiu, auu uo vi acr
ed some through the "Sunflower
State," and am pleased with the
general appearance of the coun
try. The land is rich soil black
and fertile, from 3 to 12 feet iu j
depth, and grows the finest kind I
of crops corn, wheat, oats, bar
ley, millet, potatoes and others.
The k.nd is not level, but rolling
just enough to drain; is easy to
farm and one man, with the help
of a boy, can farm the 200 acres.
The people are mannerly aud
kind, and I find many old Penn
sylvania farmers here that came
from the east forty years ago. In
all my travels through Doniphan
county, I find the land just the
same. I staid with a farmer ov
er night S. Tompson. He and
his landlord were shelling his
corn, the crop of last year. He
said he would have 12000 bushels
of shelled corn. Hehad six teams
hauling the corn from the shell
er to Leona, and they made two
trips a day.
The farmers are seeding. In
the fields you can see about the
same thing far and near. A wag
on with seed, a harrow with four
horses, and a drill which has elev
en hoes. Many of them drill
twenty acres a day. Fruit plen
ty of apples, peaches, plumspears,
&c. The schools are open eight
months and- they see that the chil
dren get there.
The school buildings are fine
large play-grounds, surrounded
by shade trees. The farm hous
es are generally small and mostly
one story high, but well furnish
ed, and you find the latch string
hanging out. The water is
brought from the earth bv wind
pumps. There seems to be jlen
ty, if it were only good. There is
very little use for a fan, for the
wind attendsto that business, and
you must watch your hat or you
will go bareheaded. Each farm
er has a wind-break, which is
generally walnut, locust, on cot
ton trees planted years ago. The
farms are fenced with Osage or
ange. When trimmed, it is beauti
ful to see. Your friend.

Ilustontown 33, Ft. Littleton 32.
Ilustontown, Oct. 10. In a hot
ly contested game of ball on the
home grounds last Saturday the
visitors went down to defeat by a
score of 33-32, with the home boys
at the bat. The bovs from the
Fort started in with the avowed
intention of showing our teum
how to play ball, and at the end of
the third inning it looked as if
they were going to make their
word good. But our boys were
only "playing 'possum." They
pulled up their suspenders, tight
ened their belts, borrowed the
aprons which the kind, motherly
ladies of Ft. Littleton had brought
along for their boys and got down
to "biz," and for the remaining
six innings the visitors simply
weren't "in it" for a minute.
The conduct of one, and possi
bly two, of the visiting team was
not above reproach; but every
thing goes in a ball game, there
fore we don't hesitate for a min
ute in calling the boys from Fort
Littleton a gentlemanly set of
players.
Umpire Dawneys decisions were
fair and according to 1904 rules,
which we would advise some of
our opponents to study more care
fully before the season for 1905
opens.

from iicdford iiawkeye.
A personal letter received by
the managingeditor of The Hawk
eye from a friend iu Washington,
brings the information that there
is not a shadow of doubt as to the
buildiog of tho new Baltimore &
Ohio line from Somerset county
by way of Bedford to Hancock,
Md. This was predicted by The
Hawkeye several months ago and
later the same statement was
made by the Pittsburg and Phila
delphia papers.
Tho Washington writer says
that many public impiovements
have been delayed by the unfavor
able business conditions of the
past three months, but that times
are brighter and the indications
are that railroad enterprises will
be pushed. The uncertainty as
to the Presidential election has,
he says, had but little to do with
such matters. The construction
of the new line over the South
Pen n right-of-way has become a
nedessity and can not long be de
layed. The railway people have
viewed the situation in every light
and there is but one thing for the
Baltimore and Ohio to do, and
that is to build and build quick.
The writer of the letter confi
dently declares that one of the
important events in Bedford
county next spring will be the op
ening of the new line from Som
erset to Mann's Choice. Balti
more and Ohio trains will be run
by way of the 'atter place to Cum
berland, where thep will take the
main line. Work on the Hancock
extension, however, will be push
ed as speedily as possible and it
is stated that the fall of 1!05 will
witness the opening of the new
road through to the Potome.c at
Hancock.
