By running a we could dispense with one half our office help, but we prefer to print it all here, for the reason that we are enabled to publish that, which in our judgment is best suited for this section of the country and of, interest to our readers. We also have control of all advertising, and by that means all ebjectionable advertisements are excluded from our columns. -We think there are at least eight or ten hundred more persons in the county who would like to have the JOURNAL.

Vogelgesung, of Woodville, called on us one day last week and in the course of a conversation upon stock matters, he stated that of a number of sows which he had bred every one aborted. He further stated that they have had sorghum all winter. Again we ask, is it not true that sorghum fed to female stock with young, will cause abortion? We dwelt at some length on this matter in an issue of the JOURNAL early last winter. since which time we have gleaned enough information from sheep and cattlemen and others, to warrant us in making the assertion that there is most certainly some connection between sorgbum and abortion.

Last Sunday this community was shocked to learn of the sudden death of Miss Baldwin, a very estimable young lady. It appears that last Saturday night Miss Baldwin had an attack of neuralgia of the stomach for the relief of which she took a quarter grain dose of morphine. This did not case the pain as as expected and she followed it up with another dose. This she did for third time, and it is said that she took the morphine five times, but it is not definitely known how many grains in all were taken. However she became unconscious about o'clock Sunday morning and rapidly sank, dying a few hours later.

Miss Baldwin came here from Mansfield, in January and was visiting dire. Lee, an old time friend. During her stay here, she had endeared, herself to many, by her pleasant. and companionable ways, and her death. will be a personal loss to a large number of Russell people.
