We wish it understood once and for all that anonymous messages addressed to this office are seldom read and if read are never published or noticed afterward further than to get them into the stove by the shortest route possible, for such communications are unworthy of our time or attention.  A late writer of these aspired to the pseudonym of "Jumbo."  That sounds clumsy and gigantic and readily brings up a mental picture of size.  We are looking for quality, not quantity.  Show you quality or manhood if you have any and sign you name to future communications.  Don’t be a sniveling coward.

Frank Davis lost one of his best cows last Friday through the critter’s sudden and mysterious death.  She gave milk as usual the night before and when Frank went through the barn at 11 o’clock that nigh with a lighted lantern he noticed nother unusual, each critter apparently being all O.K. and without an exception, eating.  When he went to milk this cow next morning he nudged here with his foot to have her get up and when she didn’t stir he noticed for the first time that she held her head queerly and going to her head, found her though still warm, to have ceased breathing.  His first thought was that she had choked to death.  The stall showed no signs of struggle and he had no reason to believe she died in agony, and as he couldn’t upon his own investigation , believe she died of strangulation, he had Ell Lee and one other come in and perform an autopsy.  This failed to enlighten them too, all the organs appearing in a normal state.  The cause of her death remains a mystery.  Frank says this was one of his best cows, for he had only one other just as good and none better.
