true that during the war the administra

generals. This, however, is of little i'm
purtauce, for whether Bob was a colonel
only or proposed general, he was equal
| ly worthless. The first statement, how
ever, which We quote, is bold, audacious

that Ingersoll was mustered as colonel OF
tie 18th Illinois calvary on December
Goth, 1861 and that he resigned on June
Both, 1868. having been in service one
year and half, instead of two years and

Rev. Lazarus Gott deyotes much OF
his time 10 his rough farm in the eastern
part OF GRAND. His labor Is abnndantly
rewarded in the yearly harvcsts of fine
fruit and agricultural products. Many OF
our farmers could well take a lesson from
him in Agriculture, Horticulture aud Flor
iculinre. This year his thrifty orchard
Will produce 80 bushels OF excellent ap
pies aud choice varieties of pears. His
cranberry patch will yield fair supply.
Several kinds OF grapes have rpened in the
open air aud his vines are heavily loaded.
His only drawback this year is the attacks
of raccoons on his grapery. In flowers,
probably Mr.. u. can excel any man or
woman in the county. Gladioh, Petun-
las, Verbenas. Pansies, Daisies, Dahlias,
and hot house plants make brilliant ex-
hibit. and his miniature lake filled with
pOnd-lllies constantly exhaling their un-
rvaled perfume makes his whole garden
redolent with the pleasautest odOrs. All
this wealth OF nature may be found among
