FORMER NEWARK BOY
NOW IN WASHINGTON
Mrs. J. F. Morgan has re
ceived the following letter
from her nephew, Nolen Ca
son, who formerly lived with
Mrs. Morgan and attended
school here.
Dear Aunt.—As it has been
so long since I wrote you, and
I am not so busy this morning,
I will take time and write you.
Don’t know just where I was
working when i wrote you
last, but think I was in the U.
S. Cable Office. I am now the
operator in charge of U. S.
Telegraph Office, Ft. Worifen,
Washington. Have been here
for over two, months. Like it
just fine too, for this is a
swell post here.
I worked at Ft. Ward you
know, all last summer. I then
went to Seattle and worked in
the Alaskan Cable Office for
six weeks, then came over
here. It was the 13th of Jan
uary when I :ame over here,
and have been here since.
Auntie I am quite an operator
now. Can make the telegraph
key hum, and alst> the type
writer. 1 can write ninety
words per minute on typewrit
er, and never make a mistake
when I take pains.
i am writing to you at nit
rate of about eighty a minute
now, and can receive and send
Morse telegraph at the rate of
thirty five or forty words per
minute, and that is counted a
good operator. W hen I get out
of the army I can work at
Western Union if I want to or
railroad either. Don’t know'
just yet which I will do. I
might take a notion to do this
another term, 1 don’t know
You know I will soon be in
service eighteen months, so
you see I will have in half my
three years before you think
about it; and besides 1 like it
too. But of course I am no sol
dier at all. Have not drilled
five hours in all my enlistment.
1 had a trade w'hen 1 came in
and got an easy job.
How is everyone in old NewT
ark? I surely woulk like to
come back there for a few
days and see how the old
town looks. It is soon going
to be two years since I was
there. And it don’t seem as
though it was six months ago.
I have no idea now when I
can say I will be back, maybe
not till my enlistment is finish
ed.
I surely have had my share

mattresses, stoves and ranges, chif
forobes, dressers, rugs, kitchen cab
inets, and in fact every thing to fur

NEWARK LUMBER CO
cf this Old World in the la3t
eighteen months. I have been
down in California, was there
only a few days but saw quite
a lot of the City cf Frisco. But
this state of Washington to
my notion has it beat. I sure
do like this Puget Sound dis
trict- It has something you
like, and don’t know what it is,
either.
Well Auntie I suppose you
are getting tired reading this,
and I will have to quit anyway
and go out and eat for it is al
most dinner time.
Tell all the Young Folks I
know there Hello, and that I
am just fine, got an easy and
good job, and having a swell
time.

Wcrden, Washington.
BUYING STOCK
The Newark Livestock Com
pany is advertising in today’s
paper that they want to buy a
hundred head of hogs. This
firm is composed of B. A. Mag
ness and R- C. Chamberlain of
this place and J. M. Cravens of
Oil Trough.
i ms nrm is now teeding
and preparing for market
about two hundred head of
good cattle, and have some of
as fine beef animals as have
ever been raised here. The
feeding process has been
going on for some time and a
number of the best grade cat
tle are now being finished on
corn, preparatory to shipping
to market in the near future.
These getlemen state that in
order to secure these hogs they
will pay the top market prices,
as they pelieve hogs can be
very profitably handled in con
nection with their cattle opera
tions and they wish to secure a
good number of hogs as quick
ly as possible.
Farmers who have hogs to
sell, call on either of these gen
tlemen at Newark, or farmers
south of the river may see J
M. Cravens, and you will be
able to secure the very highest
prices.
ADVANTAGES OF
COUNTRY LIFE
It is the earnest desire of the
people living in country towns
and rural neighborhoods, that
as many as possible of their
young people should remain at
heme and develop the com
munity in which they have
grown up. Also we want to
retain our hold upon the good
folks who settle among us, and
to attract others of the same
kind. . ,
To make life in our commun
ity seem worth while .more
should be said about the ad
vantags of country life. We
do not always realize the
blessings that we enjoy in a
town like Newark. As a mat
ter of fact there is no place on
earth where a person can get
more out of life and have a
more satisfactory career.
The advantages of life in a
country town should be fre
quently dwelt upon. Young
people who have restless am
bitions to get info a bigger
place, should be shown how
manv real satisfactions are
found in a community like ours
and how the supposed benefits
of city life often prove illusory.
$100 Reward, $100
The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure In all its stages and
that Is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
Influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Medicine Is taken Internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces of the System thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature In doing Its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith In the curative power of Hall's
Catarrh Medicine that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that It falls
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

TAKE GOOD CARE OF
YOUR WORK STOCK
Take good care of the hors
es and mules at this sason of
the year. In your enthusiasm
to push the farm work, you
are quite likely to . task the
teams greater than they can
endure. Watch your work
teams carefully and see that
they are not overworked; feed
judiciously and give them a
balanced ration of the right
quantity and quality. So
much depends upon the effi
ciency of the teams that one
cannot be too careful in work
ing them and feeding them.
Good teams and ample instru
ments make farm work easy
and pleasant; poor teams, in
adequate implements, are al
most sure to result in failure—
Farm and Ranch.
BALANCE IN TREASURY
A balance of $4,221,160.59
was shown in the state treasury,
on March 31, according to a
report issued by State Treasur
er, Joe Ferguson.
FIND SPIKE IN SWITCH
Harrison, April 4.—Clarence
Tyler was arrested near St.
Joe today after bloodhounds
had been taken to Everton,
where a spike had been placed
in a switch on the M. & N- A.
Railroad. The dogs took the
trail and never lost it. The
' spike was uncovered by
guards and the scent was tak
en when it was but a few hours
old.

Old Darky (to shiftless
friend)—I head tell you is
gwine to pay me fiat dcllah
you owes me. Is you?
Friend—I ain’t savin’ I ain’t.
Old Darky (severely)—I
