had very pleasant journey in company
with Mr.. g. II. Moirs, of Elk, who came
with me to Ogle Co., Ills. We could
see the signs of prosperity all along the
Ills. Central from LIE Mars east, and
by inquiry learned that the farmers are
doing we'll. The country is nearly the
same from lie Mars to Fort Dodge as
Mobiles Co., but has been settled few
years longer, hence its greater pros
perity. But Mobiles Co, has some adj
vantages over it. Pine lumber is
cheaper, also wood is cheaper. The
farmers have done unusually we'll here
this year. but I learn sthat in few
cases the grasshoppers injured oats and
corn TO a limited extent. There are
some here from Kansas and Nebraska,
and according to their statements the
drouth i'll those states was worse than
the grasshoppers, and the hoppers in
most sections were worse than III Mill
nesota. One man, an old friend, had
thirty acres of corn that was not in
jured by hoppers, but in consequeE ce
of the drouth only went ten bushels
per acre. Give me Minnesota by all
means in preference to poor bleeding
Kansas or Nebraska. The weather has
been very pleasant here this fall. Had
Il little snow in Nov, but it was gone
in a few hours. The average temper;,-
ture for the first Is days of this month
was $50 above zero, with no storm of
any kind. There are some here who
will probably emigrate to Mobiles Coun-
ty in the spring. May the number be
legion. MAX.

Altogether the best session of the I1y
ceum was that Of last "Wednesday eve
ming. From half past seven until near
ly half,past ten, the interest was kept
up with scarcely any abatement, and
when the session closed there were a
number of tongues itching to talk
We should not be surprised if there
should arise demand for still another
evening upon the woman suffrage ques-
ton. The affirmative was sustained by
Mrs. B. II. Crever, Mrs. 4. c. Bell,
Rev. B. H. Crever, A. 2. Miller, Clay
borne Rohrer, and Major 4. G. Bell
The negative by Elihu Smith, G. B.
Langdon and Prof Humiston. Miss
Mary Smith and DR.. Langdon read, and
the latter also acted as Critic.
The papers read by Mrs. Crever and
Mrs. Bell were most capital productions
and would settle the question before
any tribunal as to the capacity of wo-
men to grappie public questions.
Owing to the exercises of the Week
Of Prayer there will lie no session of the
Lyceum next week. The week follow

fortune to be present on Christmas
