A SURE THING. LEXINGTON GROWS LEXINGTON, OREGON, THURSDAY MAY 3, 1906 NO. 32 VOL. I A LETTER. Poplar Bluff, Mo. April 26. 1906. Editor Wheatfield. Please allow me a little space In your paper. 1 and my little grand daughter arrived to Poplar Bluff Sat urday nlghf April 21st, found my sons folks well and -anxiously awaiting to see us, we 'njoyed our trip fine though it was some what tiresome. Eychanped'Sars in Kansas City .and thence South through the Kansas Line to Poplar Bluff via Frisco R R. we went through a small part of Arkansaw where the cotton, frogs and mosquitoes grow, I do not know what thejr had against m to take me over that route for unless they wanted me to eat Peaches and Muskadiaes, we see some wonderful sights In Arkansaw but the worst of all was tin Hoxie Arkansaw where we actuallyirode In a Rat box called a street car, it was drawn by a mule, they would, just look At usnd say, well where .are youens from, we told them we ware from Ore gon and they would want to know what partaSf Arkansaw, Oregon was in so after we had told them where Oregon was,ithey would say oh yes youens wasin the earth quake eb? The depot consisted of a box car.. .They did not Jcno' what county they lived In but would tell you Uncle Hank had two fine coon dogs and they bad ithelr shoulders worn out from carrying an old muzzle loading rifle or a Winchester. When the train would arrive very man and his family would come to the depot to see the train come through, but as we traveled up the line and into Missouri people began to get more enlightened and by the time we got to my sons we found bright people again.' Poplar Bluff Is a swell little city, Is a Jtction of the Mo. P. & Frisco systems. The inhabitants is about 9000, a beautiful stream runs through the City, five schools and fine business houses, three banks. There is nearly as much business done here as In Portland, they have gas and electric lights and are making preparations for electric street cars. To see the city at night all lit up one would think they were in Portland. My son lives Just out of the corporation and has a beau- j tiful little place and good prospects for fruit. Everything is beautiful, of course we have some people here who failed to carry their umbrellas or wear their hats last summer and the sun had a bad effect on them and turned them negro. I feel once more as if I had arrived in my old home state, the birds keep up a continous song, the trees are all In bloom, I like this place here very much, it is not so hot here as when I left Oregon but don't know ;hat th summer will brine on. We saw some beautiful country through Eastern Kansas the fruit trees and wheatfields look fine, wheat was up 6 THE WHEATFIELD PRINTS THE NEWS or 8 Inches high, very bright prospects for crops this year. ) With best wishes for The Wheatfield and my friends. Yours Very Truly Mrs. S. Boothby. Itl Kangeroun to Neglect a Cold, How often do we hear it, remarked "It's only a cold," and a few days later learn that the man Is on his back with pneumonia. This is of such common occurrence that a cold, how ever slight, should not be disregarded. Ceamberlaln's Cough Remedy counter abts any tendency of a cold to result in pneumonia, and has gained its great popularity and extensive sale by its prompt cures of this most common ailment. It always cures and is pleas ant to take. For sale by W P. Mc Millan. BLACK HORSE Robert Van Horn of Upper Black Horse moved to Joe Meier's place on Willow Creek last Wednesday.

The Wheatfield prints the news. SENTENCE SERMONS By Henry F. Cope. You cannot help this world by hiding from it Many mistake fluidity of mind for faith. Even the Almighty cannot use peo who are born petrified. You lift no one up by looking down your nose. Making wealth common will not make the Ideal common wealth. The rambling preacher seldom hits the green pastures. When a man Is puffed up he is easily blown away. It's the wabbly man who complains that the platform is not broad enough for him. Heaven Is not far from him who smiles in cloudy weather. Sin's crown is so constructed that it soon becomes Satan's collar. The man with money to burn seldom" gets up any steam. The liar does not become a moral athlete by his mental gymnastics. , The man who only sees with half art eye always thinks the world is waiting for his views. As soon as a man is satisfied with himself the angels begin to be sorry for him. People do not push ahead by patting themselves on the back. It will take men and women of iron will to bring in the golden age. it's a noor kind of faith' that never feels its need of a. father until iitgeta , dark. You can fatten a dear, sweet sister into a saint on an amount of religious . angel food that wouldn't suffice to keep , a full grown man from swearing. Get Your Name on.
