The Weekly Belleville Telescopy Thur Mar 25, 1880
             FROM CUBA
      CUBA, KAN., March 23e, 1880.
   EDITOR TELESCOPE,--All is quiet in the little 
village of Cuba. Trade is lively and people generally
hopeful.
   Since our last correspondence Mr. J. M. Smith sunk
a well on his farm one-half mile west of town in 
which he obtained water at a depth of thirty feed. 
Several wells were sunk within a few rods of this
one, a few years ago, and no water found. This is
encouraging to those who have previously failed.
   One day last week the boiler at the sawmill in
the western part of Washington county, exploded,
throwing hot water, steam and sawdust across the
road, doing no serious damage however, as on one
happened to be in front of the mill.
   We wish to call the attention of the proper
authorities to a mud-hole one mile west of Mr.
Kennedy's on the bellevill and Washington road. Why
not Jefferson and Fairview townships combine and
bridge that ravine?
   Farmers are improving the beautiful weather by
sowing grain and putting things in order about the
farm for spring work.
   The temperance question is receiving some 
attention in Farmington township. A temperance 
meeting is announced for the new school house,
two miles north of this place, at two o'clock p. m.,
on the first Saturday in April.
   Died, on Friday March 19th, at the residence
of Mr. Phillip Smith, the infant daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. James Smith. The entire community 
sympathize with the bereaved parents.
     Not dead; but sleeping.
                  SLYDER DOWNEHYLLE
