Homes in Lake County.

To the farmers of Lake county,
allow me to say, many Of US came
to this county from six to ten years
since, with bright anticipations Of
the future, expecting by this time
to have our farms under complete
state of cultivation; and have toiled
on mid difficulties innumsrable, be-
ing at first compelled to travel from
fifteen to twenty-five miles for ev-
cry pound of tea or soda we made
use of; yet our anticipations were
bright. We held our farms at high
prices, believing that they would
make US homes. To-day we have
one of the best railroads in this
State passing through this county.
We have stores of almost all de-
scriptions, conveniently located
We can now ship our pine, our tim
Der of almost all descriptions; and
receive in return goods and sup
plies for our families; also, many
townships are just beginning to
raise their own supplies, thus rem
dering farmers comfortable and
happy at home; yet strange to say
after all the years of hardships ant
toll, many are now Offering to sci
their farms for less money thar
would have bought them five years
ago. Why is this =! We have suf'
fered the privations, and now, since
the Rubicon is crossed, let us no
give away our farms to others tina
they may reap the reward of on
industry; but let US remain and real
the benefits, by enjoying the fat o
the land under our own vine ant
figtree. Let us not SOW, and an
other reap, but may it be said ofu
in Lake county, whatsoever We hav'
sown, that shall we also reap.

Meeting Of Superintendents Of Schools.

We received the following with
q request to obtain the signatures
ofother Township Superintendents.
Thinking q quicker way to get. the
proposition before those interested
would be by publishing it at once,
we do SO; with request that the
various Superintendents send us
their opinion Of the plan Of holding
the meeting:
To the TOsOnship Superintendents Of
Lake County:
Believing that it will meet with
the approval Of every Superintsnd-
ents in the county, l would propose
that there be a meeting Of the
School Superintendents Of Lake
county, at the Court Room in Bald
win, on Wednesday the 5th day Of
January, 1876; for the purpose Of
considering the merits Of and rec
ommending q uniform series of text
books to be used in our District
Schools. Every one sees the ben
eft Of having a uniform system in
different Districts, and the advant-
age would be still greater if that
uniform system extended through
the county. Another object Of the
meeting would be to consider other
subjects that may be brought for
ward which may have for their ends
the advancement of the educational
interests Of tire county. l woult
suggest that each Superintendent
report, at said meeting, the condi
ton of schools; character of his Of
fetal labor, &C., in his Township
Hoping that this proposition may
meet with the approval of each su
perintendent and citizen, and tha
all may attend, l will designate th'
above date as the time ofsuch meet
