EDITOR ,JouRNA1.-Now that people can

Near the railroad, or near the Greenleaf

Those who would not brave the .hardships
Of the frontier and push on ahead Of rail-

railroads allow easy access to what was
frortier It' till th9 prospect Of railroad made

NEW NAIL ROUTE.

The people Of the territory given on the
maps Is Lincoln county, but which is real
ly part of Renville county, are practi-
cally men and women ts.without a country
The kenville county officers put themselves
on their dignity, and assuming to know the
facts and the law in the matter, and acting
against the acts Of the Legislature, the de-
cisions Of court and the opinion Of the At
torney General, they refuse in all official
acts to recognize Lincoln county. I hear
they are beginning to relax a little the
rigorous rules they laid down. The Regis
ter Of Deeds refused to record conveyances
Of land. A friend of mine sent q deed to
be recorded. The Register returned the
deed, but kept the money sent as payment
Of fees for his ''trouble." He certainly
will have ''trouble'' if he does not; change
his course.

-, Recently at q religious gathering at
steesville, Meeker county, John Jones
committed an assault and battery on Sam

latter was about joining the Methodist
church, while, Pancake tried to argue with
his fist that Pancake should join the Baptist
church. Several 1slw1 suits are arising out
of the occurrence: 3'-'+> |

CIRCULATION UNRIVRLLED
IN ELIZABETH,
Bsg@Far from the scenes of childhood

BSgaFar from the scenes of childhood
and the friends of his youth, at aperiod
of life when the world presents many
attractions, Mr.. JAMES HI. WILSON, a
fine scholar, and consistent Christian,
after being wearied by long suffering,
on Friday last entered upon that rest
which remains for the people of God.
Mr.. WILSON was early a diligent stu
dent, and attained high degree OF ex-
cellence in literary pursuits. A deli
cate constitution sadly interfered with
his plans of usefulness, but years of pain
dampened not his ardor in pursuit OF
knowledge. His sociable nature, his
earnest desire to do good, his talents,
won him host of friends. He has
passed away, but the virtues which
adorned his character will be long cher
ished by his associates. The influence
of his holy example, his manifold deeds
of charity, were blessing to many
who were ready to perish. All, we can
i'll spare such noble-hearted members
of society. But we are often painfully
reminded of our frailty by the decease
of the wise and good, whose friendship
we valued, and whose separation from
our circle we have great reason to de-
plore. Our friend is dead, but the re
membrance of his virtues will survive.
Memory, ever active, will often review
happy incidents in our intercourse with
the amiable man who breathed out his
soul to God in his far western home.
JAMES S. DRAKE.
