She was ???? loved by all who knew her. Mr.? MERSEAL is very thankful for the kind attention his neighbors paid to his wife during her sickness. ????? Christian, a loving wife and a ????? affectionate mother. Sister, thou has gone to rest, And this shall be our prayer When we reach our journey’s end Thy glory we shall share. April 29, 1890 A. F?????? [next column] ____________________________ From Plattin by P. A cold wave struck this region last night. Farmers are very much ???ed on account of too much rain. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell McCORMACK visited relatives and friends at Bonne Terre last week. Miss Lulu and Master Claude POSTON? are visiting at Plattin P.O. They reside at Bonne Terre Willis FITR?, the miller at Bonne Terre, is buying all the wheat he can get along the Mississippi River and Bonne terre railroad. He bought Eddie COLE’s wheat last week. W. S. McCORMACK A and family are expected to attend a wedding near Licking?, Texas county. Mr. T. TAYLOR and wife are are stopping here. He is blind and his wife is disabled in her right hand, but they do not want to go to the county farm. If they could get a little assistance from the county they might be less expensive to the taxpayers than if they were at the poor farm. Mrs. T. is willing to work all she can, but can not support herself and her husband both. The neighbors would help some if the county did something. Another storehouse has been started at McCORMACK Station. I am afraid there will be more merchants than ???ers at that place. Fruit? agents? are making it lively here...”Uncle Joe” BORNW is very poorly with bronchitis. Plattin, May 3, 1890 ____________________________ Farms Wanted.
