There never has been better time-there
never has been SO good time, since Iowa was
State, for emigrants who intend to buy farms
aud become practical farmers. to come to Iowa.
Our merchants, mechanics, farmers and day
'aborers have been, during the last two or
three years, investing their spare earnings IN
Government lands. At first they only bought
with the money they had earned. Finding it
paid largely, they borrowed at heavy interest,
ia many instances neglecting to pay their debts,
50 that they might by large purchases and ra
pid advance in price, become suddenly rich
The late crash found them rich in their own es
timaton, having lands and lots, but uniortu
nately in debt deeply which will in the end
leave tbs m poor enough because lands cannot
be sold except TO actual settlers, and they DO
not come along fast enough. This is the state
of affairs in Iowa. There are great many
improved farms for sale, and any quantity OIL
uninproved lands owned by person. who must
sell at what they can get. Emgrants with
money can make their own terms-can buy at
better advantage, all things considered, than
ever before. They can now make better terms
than they will ever be able to make again.
ImprOyem .nts can also be made advantage
ously at this time. The supply of lumber is
greatly in excess of present demand. There
never has been time i'll the memory of "the
oldest inhabitant" when hundred dollars would
go SO far-would purchase so many thousand
feet Of lumber in Iowa, or pay for the building
of SO many rods OF fence.
Actual settlers can now Gene to Iowa and
buy cheap lands-put up houses, barns, neces-
sary oulhuildings, and fencing at very low fig
nres if they have the money. Railroads are
rapidly penetrating the interior Of the State
from numerous points and outlets to market are
about to be furnished to millions of acres OF
fertile lands that are awaiting purchasers, SIS
We said before, at very low prices. Spectators
are crippled, and the spirit of speculation dead
As consequence it is good time for the &C
tual settler to come.

and Immediately upon landing three yorrr
ladies stepped forward, and one Of them maize
very handsome reception address, welcoming
the Burlington School to Fort Madison. A pro-

marched to the Presby terian Church, where

addresses from Rev. NJ. Taylor, Of the Pres

copol Church, and Mr.. Salter. Mr.. Croker, it
shauld be added, made Al appropriate response
70 the reception address.
Much disappointment was felt At not visiting
the Pententiary. We understood that the In
spectors interposed their veto, not thinking il
safe to allow q visit from 90 many children at
one time. In lieu Of this, the Fort Madison
schools accompanied the Burlington Schools on
the 10. Gales 70 Niota. Afterwards, on the
die embarkstion Of Fort Madison Schools, three
hearty cheers we're given 10 honor of the hos
pitality and kindness. The whole occasion was
one Of the happiest and pleasantest ever known
in Sunday School excursions. We are glad TO
record such q delightful interchange of kind
Offices. 1t is honorable to religion and to hu-
man nature. There are few institutions thai
are doing so much as Sunday Schools TO pro-
mote our social advancement. We only wish
that our whole youthful population enjoyed
their advantages.
The Congregational Sunday School of this
town feel under great obligations to Messrs.
Russell, Albright, Smith, and others of For,
Madison, and hope to have an opportunity to
reciprocate the friendly attentions extended to
them.
