motoness from markets better suited
for stock raising than for cram and

that Improved farms in the vicinity Of

dollars per acre Places of--say-- two

such a farm is. to my notion, much
more detirablo than ! prairie farm, and
no crop but corn. The prices for cot
ton that have ruled FOR the past few
years mako il o profitable crop IN this
latitude, and most Of tho farmers raise
more or less Of it. Cape Grardeau has

As for the terms Of payment they are
generally easy-but inducements Offer
ed for cash payments that make It an
object when convenient so to do.
Last but not least, as for the state OF
society, ] would say TO those inquiring,
il will be what you, who come here,
choose to make it. i is not that Of
Vermont or Massey susetts, nor is it to
be expected, but, ibIelieve, better in.
, stead Of worse on account of the war.
Schools and churches are things yet t.
! be, to a great extent, though some priv,
ileges of that kind offer here. The first

] county, has just closed a session OF iiY'
r days. II was held npdcr the new schoo
G law which provides for them and foi
: Teachers Associations. Less than {
: dozen teachers and those contemplating
a teaching were in attendance. And as l
is presumed that those who came iron
: remote parts Of the county to attend
4 belong to the better order Of teachers
: perhaps tolerably fair idea of the aver
J. age standard could be gained. 1t wa
not very creditable to the standard,

: discussions, that they bear no grea
e kindness towards the Yankee famil.
