Farmers are pushing their work

has been in this county at least
double, if not three times as much
corn planted this year as last. Our
folks, you see, are getting sensible
in this respect. There has been a
large amount of now lands taken IN
last winter and spring, 80 with all
the corn planted, there is as much
or more cotton planted this year
than last. Then, farmers say that
their cotton is looking well. They

A General Invitation to the Ma
sonic Pic mic.

In behalf OF, and authorized by
the committee appointed by Osceo-
la Lodge No. y, L. and A. NJ, we
in our journalistic capacity, extend
TO the people of Mississippi county.
a full, free and cordial invitation to
attend the anniversary celebration
of St. John, the Baptist. which will
take place on the 2ilh. day OF June
next.
In rendering this hearty and
friendly invitation, and, aside from
the pleasure and qualification your
presence would afford TO the mem
bers OF the craft Oh that day, we
feel also that Il reunion OF our CHI
zens ut this pai ticularly happy pc
rod in our state affairs, would be
conducive Of good results-ia reviv-
ing The old anti-war feelings when
all nature was serene aud at peace /;
when friends and ncighbors vicd
with each otEcr, in generous omula-
ton, to relieve, assist and befrIeud
less fortunate nclghbor. Radi-
calism and radical policy, has, to II
greater or less extent, eXerted n

arice, greed, strife, contention and
jealousy, has been inculcated
throughout the land and however
much we may dep!ore the cause aud
its effects, it is nevertheless true,
aud Il faint of the evil yet remons.
We see 1t cropping out almost dai.
ly in private transactions. How
few men do we see in our midst,
who, IN their business occupation,
whether as Il farmer, mechanic, mer-
chant or professional, are in Il fair
way to be successful but that YOU
will find his noighbors and compet-
itors, the very ones who should re
ioice and give him a hearty God
speed, with cEvious craitincss seek.
ing to iniure his prospects. We
could site II number of instances
where, but for the intermeddling of
cnvious and less fortunate neigh
bor, homes, now stricken with pow
erty and want, would, perhaps to.
day, be happy and prosperous, an
honor to community and II benefit
to mankind.
But to return to the purpose Of
this notice, lie, to invite all to come
to the celebration. Again we re-
peat it, come; come everybody.
Come fully resolved and prepared
to have II friendly and nelshborly
gathering, to exchange views on
all subjects OF mutual interest, to
assist in eradica ing aII traces of
strife, envy, backbltings, jealousles
and all kindred feeling which may
exist among us, and resolve, with
the masons, to be a band of friends
and brothers in deed and in truth /;
assisting and supporting each other
AS occasion serves. We repeat,
como and welcome.

bv the .SDcie'ie FdacojSe, at Mem

The above complimentary notice
