We wish to publish in the valuable columns of THE SENTINEL the death of Sarah E McCoin, a devoted, untiring, mortal dying but immortal undying christian lady. Sister McCoin was not only a christian lady, but a faithful, true, pure of motives, a helpmate indeed, a direct house wife, and an all day and all night wife to her husband. Not only this but as true a mother as creation has produced, loving, tender, and watchful. Always placing a soft and tender hand upon the acking head of distressed little souls that prattled around her knees. Also a genuine friend to the poor always helping them when she saw them suffering. But after all sister McCoin has gone like all things mortal, leaving a husband and children to mourn her loss. The entire community mourns the death of one so loving and true. ************************************************* FROM ARKANSAS. Onalaska, Ark. July 3, 1901 Mr. Editor: After seeing a few letters published in your paper written by town boys of different states I thought I would write one. I am in the yellow pine portion of Ark., the sawmill country, the home of the muquito. They are here in great flocks. The musquito will rise up and sing his friendly song and tackle the bigest man of the country, the he may have a buoy knife or a tomahawk the musquito fears him not. The frog grows to be very large here I suppose from the discription that a man give of a tadpoles. He says that he saw a family of tadpoles this spring and he caught one that was 13 inches long and 2 1/2 inches between the eyes and I don't know just how large he will be when he looses his tail and becomes a frog. There is one thing about this part of the country it is a good poor man's country, from the fact that labor is always in demand at a resonable price and what you eat and wear fon't cost you any money, you can swap work for them. While a great many of the Jackson! county boys have come to this part in search of fame and fortune and found out that the meaning to the word Arkansas was, work, beome dissatisfied with the noise of the frog, and the battle with the musquito and like the prodigal son said I will arise and seek my father home in God's famous old mountianos country, where milk and honey flows and loafing abounds plentiful. Among the boys who has stood the ground are David Hall, teamster; Charley Myrs, fireman on log train; Wm Flynn, braky on log train; Nute Baley, carpenter; Logain Davis, carpenter; all of whom are at work for the Onalaska Lumber Co., at good wages. Hoping in the future to meet with my good friends of old Jackson Co., with whom I have spent many happy hours, I will write no more at present. Ben A.
