D. 3 I’ve been too busy with my field peas and winter collards to write any drivel for this column this -week, so this letter from my darling daughter will have to suffice this week. I think you will find it interesting. Ruthie’s man is up there learning to be an engineer on a B-36, and I judge from this and other letters she doesn’t take to the Westerners much: I w’ish you and Mother could have been with Frasier and me yesterday to see all the pretty flowers. This is peony country up here and you have never seen so many beautiful bloom S r They are just about at their height with a few still in bud and yet to bloom, but the warm weather yesterday will Probably bring those out. The r e / S , h ^? t ly a yard up here that doesnt have one or more (usually more) large peony plants, mostly white anf Pink but some a very deep red From a distance they look like big dahlias but closer up they are a prettier blossom, 1 Sink 1 believe those yon have planted at Gildercrest should be moved to a place where there is Sun. Most of the ones you see here are out in the open with no shade at all. But to get back to yesterday. Memorial Day, which is called Decoration Day up here, it turn ed out to be a wonderful day even though the people up here say “it invariably rains on Sun days and holidays.” We had bad weather since last Satur day but it cleared off Tuesday afternoon and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky yesterday. You can understand why they call it Decoration Day up here—it is the day when all of the citizens honor their dead by decorating the graves with flowers. The ceme teries here are unlike those at home. They are spacious and while they have monuments like those at home the whole ceme tery is green. Grass will grow anywhere in this soil and every one seems to keep the grass cut and the plots in good order. The cemetery in Rantoul yeste* day a mass of peonies, garaniums and yellow and purple iris. After we looked over the Ran toul cemetery we started up the highway, taking our time and going nowhere in' particular and suddenly we found we were lead- Ing an army convoy. We pulled off the road to let it pass and decided to follow to see where it WM going because the soldiers Were all dressed up in their “Class A” uniform and we thought they were going some where to take part in a Memor ial Day service. They stopped in the little town of Paxton, which is 10 miles north of Ran- and one of the prettiest lit- i towns I have ever seen. Most homes in this area have and all of the lawns are •with grass and well kept. It la so easy to have a nice lawn i, because the land is so level the grass grows without any >le. we followed the troops and ended up in a with the army, navy, air ~ force and marines taking part, as ell as the local American Leg- ^ ion. boy and girl scouts and Brownie troops. That little town really put on a show. We fol lowed /walking) the parade on to the Paxton cemetery where me morial services were held.

Griffith presiding. Twenty-nine new cases are slat ed to come up during this ses sion. Seven carry-over cases are also listed on the docket for the court’s consideration. Among cases to be tried in this term will be the charge against Jewel Donald (Buddy) Wicker, J. S. (Zeb) Richardson, and Hubert Lollis for the murder of John Livingston. Livingston is said to have died as a result of wounds received in a fracas fol lowing an argument over pos session of liquor. The argument reportedly began at Nichols Can dy Kitchen in Prosperity. Leav ing there, the men went to a rail road trestle nearby. After spend ing sometime under the trestle the men went upop the tracks where a f^ght followed. Wicker is said to have hit Livingston with his fist and Lollis followed this up with a blow from a stick or piece of wood. Richardson then joined the melee knocking Livingston down with his fist. The blow allegedly knocked Livingston down. His head hit the rail with such force as to bring about his death. Realizing that their companion was dead the trio took the body and placed it between the tracks, hoping to create the impression that Livingston was accidental ly killed by a train. Other cases on the roster for this session are: Charged with assault and bat tery with intent to kill are* Al len D.
