Lara. Texas, April 26. —We
are still expecting that rain, and
in fact it is overdue and we are
’gining to feel anxious ’bout.
W. S. Flower and Frank Rhine-
smith were in Alice Saturday.
Mr. Cox of Alice returned one
of Mr. Holmgreen’s horses to
his pasture here and looked after
his interests here a few days
past.
Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Flower
and daughters, Miss Ina and
Esther, were in town Monday of
this week.
Corn and cotton are still fine
notwithstanding this drouth.
But the question is. "How long
it will grow and look well with-
out rain?”
Ihe wild currants are ripening
fast, but they are not nearly so
large or juicy as last year. We
attribute this fact to the dry
weather.
J. L. Rhinesmith who has been
making his home with his daugh-
ter, for the past year and a half
left with his son, Frank, for
Portage, Wis., Monday. We re-
gret to see him go very much,
but wish him a pleasent journey
and many years yet to live.

Messrs. Rhinesmiths Return
to the North.
To the Echo.
Monday, Frank Rhinesmith,
who has been visiting his sister,
Mrs. W. L. Flower, accompanied
by his father, J. L. Rhinesmith,
left for Portage, Wis.
J. L. Rhinesmith (Grandpa)
has been living with his daugh-
ter, Mrs. W. S. Flower, for the
past sixteen months. He sin-
cerely regretted leaving the
sunny south for 'the north, but
not as much as we regretted to
have him go. The sixteen
months he has been with us, he
has doubly endeared himself to
us, by his many useful and kind-
ly deeds. For at the very old
age of 81 years, he never spends
many idle moments.
He is one of the good old time
pioneers of the state of Indiana,
and like all of those, he is full
of the many fine qualities that
go to make a nation great and
its people happy.
He will return to make his
home as formerly with his
daughter, Mrs. A. A. Porter, of
Portage, Wis.
We all miss him very much
and wish him many more years
filled happiness and contenc-
ment.
