R. F. 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. Glen

June Term Court Of General Sessions
Convenes Monday; Thirty-Six Cases Set
Ol
The June term of Court of
General Sessions will open
Monday morning with Judge
Steve C. 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.
