NEW AGENCY.-IIanna & DanfOrd have
opened an Office in Jones' building, over New
man & HOughtOn's store, in the room lately
occupied as Presbyterian church, where they
will do a general agency business. They will
buy and sell lands, furnish abstracts of titles,
pay taxes, do conveyancing, insurance, etc.
We take pleasure in recommending these gen.
tlemen to the public as in every way worthy
of their patronage. They have had extensive
experience in their line, and will do all in their
power to render satisfaction. They want to
purchase at once, 10000 acres of unimproved
land, for which they will pay cash. Those who
would prefer money to land can make the eX
change by calling at their Office, as above di-
rected. For further particulars refer to
their advertisement.

AS the eye scans our vast bottoms on the
south, east and west, it has an entire pano-
rama of Natures beauties that is truly Animal
ing. On the low lands are vast fields of corn
and large ricks of grain. On the undulating
portion, to the north, are large herds of cattle
and horses grazing leisurely upon the tender
grass. In one direction we hear the chuckling
sound of plOwing machines, in another the
humming cylinder of threshing machine.
Everybody seems to be busy, most of whom
are putting up hay. Farmers seem to appre-
eiate the extraordinary opportunity offered
them to secure plenty of winter feed, and will
probably put up a much larger supply than
usual.

CEMETERY The long agitated and vexed
question of Il cemetery for this community
is about to be settled in what we hope will
be satisfactory manner. Some years ago
the Odd Fellows and MasOns bought q tract
of land northwest OF town for cemetery.
After some time the matter was lost sight of
and the title to the land passed into other
hands. Some months ago, few members
of the Lodge ofOdd Fellows in this place I'M
dertook to secure possession of their portion
Ofthe ground again. The matter was brought
before the Lodge. The title to the land
was secured, everything is going forward
finely, and we shall soon have a creditable
burying ground. The ground has been laid
off in splendid shape and tastefully arranged
by Miiliken 4 Bros, our city engineers. So
soon as all the preliminaries can be arranged,
which will be in n week or so, the lots are to
be offered tor sale to those who wish to pur-
chase, and from the proceeds of the sale of
lots the ground is to be tastefully and sub
stantially fenced, so that tree planting and
ornamenting may commence ut once. 1t is
the purpose of the managers to have the
ground surrounded with hedge at an early
day, and hedge row has already been
broken. A number of lots are to he
reserved to accommodate future re-
cessities. Lots enough will be sold to ac-
commodate all, ut prices barely sufficient to
raise funds for fencing and other expenses.
We understand that it is not the intention
of the Order to make the cemetery in any
sense an Odd Fellows burying ground, but
to have it used by all. But a small portion.
if any, will be reserved for the use of the
Society.
So soon as all the arrangements are made
the plat of the ground will be on exhibition
At the Office of Judge W. X. Boggs, who
has been selected TO sell the lots.
This work has been long deferred, and the
Odd Fellows are entitled to credit for work
ing the matter up, and securing to tile pub
lie cemetery grounds, and we hope they
may at least Immediately realize enough
from the sale of lots to pay the necessary ex-
penses, and give them large fund for the
Improvement of the grounds.
