Editors Of the Free Irade,-The time draws
near when the voters Of these dis United States
will put in nomination their candidates for the
next president. ready the names of several
distinguished individuals have been mentioned in
the newspapers "a candidates for this high honor,
among them that of Gen. Grant. Several delega-
tons and many self-prompted individuals
have called upon the General to ascertain his
views of the present POLITICAL situation of the
country, but thus far all their efforts have been
fruitless The General seems to have settled
down upon n line of strict rcticence, and seems
determined to fight it out that line, if it takes
year. This reminds me of n family | once
knew down in Vermont. This family consisted
of a father, mother and four sons all of whom
were considered to be of average intellect, with
exception of the youngest son, whom we will
call u. s. G.. This son was considered to be-
not fool nor an idiot, but rather feeble-minded.
In the year of our Lord 1910, this neighborhood
resolved to celebrate the 4th of July, and all
were actively preparing to attend the grand tcs-
tival. Now the father of U. S. G. insisted that
he should attend. This proposition was warmly
objected to by the rest Of the family Even the
boy himself objected. The father demanded his
reasons. Why, father, said he, you know I'm n
fool-cvcrybody knows it; and don't want TO
expose myself in that crowd. Pshaw said the
old man, you are not fool. and il you are, you
only need 70 hold your tongue, and nobody will
know It I think they'll find me out said U.S.G.

WESTERN ENTERPRIsE.-"The West against
the world" is frequent boast of the Illinoisans,
and we begin to think that there is some founda-
ton in the belief that Westerners cannot be beat.
For instance we should like to see the following
piece Of Sucker enterprise equalled or surpass-
ed by any one: One morning. during the la,e
harvest, workmen commenced the cutting of a
crop of wheat upon the farm of Mr.. Potts, near
Whiteside Scott county. At noon they found
the dinner table supplied 18th bread made from
the wheat that was grow NJ in the field in the
morning. The miller had gone to the wheat
field and taken the grain fresh from the machines,
had transferred it the mill, ground it, and furn-
ished the -four to the owner, who had it baked
into bread before the dinner hour. This is a
veritabe bona tide instance of Western enterprise

near the northeast corner of the county. 1t is a
nice looking country, much like the Fox River
country only there is rather more stone scattered
along the creeks. There is everything here to
make good country, only the population, and
that is coming in pretty fast. There are broad,
rich prairies at from to 10 dollars per acre
plenty of timber, from to IS dollars per acre
plenty Of stone for building; coal plenty, and
water in abundance. There is q great chance
for stock raising. am going to start farm out
on the prairie, two miles and half from the
nearest house. We expect to zee tolerably hard
times this winter, - we have not much money,
and everything costs money to q new conner, but
We will try TO weather it through and raise a
crop TO help the next that may come. We
moved from Ottowa here with team and drove
ten head of cattle, and you better guess it was a
slow. hard job but we are now within two miles
and half of our destination. Tuesday expect
10 have my land surveyed, and then we will
commence to fix house; We viii probably have
an old fashioned log cabin. There is chance
for poor people to get homes. Let renters pull
up Stakes and strike out. There is plenty Of
land for all, if they will but come to it. There
are good chances also for those who want to
speculate in land. There is chance for any
one who wants to go into the milling bushes,
near where we are camped-S5 acres of land
with good mill-seat, As acres Of it timber, 10,

" Illinois" to bat. This game constituted the
third Of the season between the 6rst nine Of Nor.
ris and second nine of the Shabbonas and resulted
III complete and we'll earned victory for the Ill.
inois first nine of Morris. We had distant con-
nection with the worstsd nine, and have no heart
to enter into the minuts of the game.
Morris beat Ottawa upon this occasion seven
teen tallies, and the only reason Iconscentiously
assign for it is, that the victors played, upon
this occasion at least, q better game than the
subscribers. The greeting they gave US IN uni
form was, if anything, Attle euu.er than that Of
the early morning.
The result of the game was the only disaster OF
Tuesday last, and the Ottawa boys voted unan
imously that their hosts Of Morris were not to b.
surpassed in courtesy and hospitality.
The Shabbona,s third baseman desires me to
state that he is ready at any time to give Morris
another specimen of his batting, when they will
agree to treat our second nine just as they did
throughout Tuesday last.

whose faces were more familiar than their names
