The LaCygne Weekly Journal Linn County Friday May 12, 1899 The Crow TookThe Garden. The boys have a good joke on I.N. CROW. His wife had planted some garden and it had come up nicely when one evening her husband got a terrible energetic spell and decided to clean out all the weeds from his lots. He armed himself with a hoe and begun, thinking he would surprise his wife with his good deed. He did surprise her, for when she discovered that the old gentleman had dug up her entire garden she was good and mad. What followed has not been reported.
The LaCygne Weekly Journal Linn County Friday May 12, 1899 Postmaster For Years. Probably no other man in Kansas has held the office of postmaster so long as has Uncle David SIBBETT, of Boicourt. In 1856 he was appointed at Brooklyn, this county, and served there until the office was removed to Barnard, now Boicourt, where he has been postmaster ever since with the exception of Cleveland's last term of office. He is a good man and makes a very satisfactory official.

It is no uncommon sight to see men crawl out of box cars when the freight trains are switching in the yards at this place, but last Friday those who were at the depot when the local freight pulled in witnessed an unusual occurrence. Two middle aged women accompained by a little girl about five years old alighted from one of the cars and made their way to their elevator where they sat down in the shade and rested for some time. They were tough looking specimens and only remained until the next freight came along when they were informed by the city marshal that it would be necessary for them to leave town.

BARTLESON, of Pleasanton, received a message stating that his daughter, Mrs. Esther WORLAND of Los Angeles, California, had died that night at 8 10 o'clock. Mrs. WORLAND was well known in Linn county--her husband, Harry Worland, having been in the drug business in both Pleasanton and Mound City for a number of years. She was a splendid woman and possessed a noble and generous character and disposition. Mr. and Mrs. Worland were among the best and most energetic citizens Pleasanton ever had and as a mark of the progressive interest they took in that town there are several fine brick buildings now standing that probably would have never been built had it not been for H.C. Worland. The many friends of the lonely husband and of W.E. Bartleson's family in this section tender their sympathy in the sad and untimely death.
