EDITOR ADVANCES: Some Of the pee
pie of Ransom and Bigelow, and some
Of Iowa, desire through your columns
to express their thanks to the good
people of Plainview and vicinity for so
liberal donation of their substance
for the relief of those who were so un-
fortunate as to lose their crops leaving
them entirely unable to provide for
their families; and as they have so
bonntifully supplied us with clothing
and bedding to shield us from the pierre
ing cold, we would ask our Heavenly
Father to clothe them with garments
OF righteousness, and may they ever
have the assurance that it IS more
blessed to give than to receive. We
unite in saying, God bless the givers.
A word of explanations: d. !.
TWitchell and family left this place in
September and are spending the winter
in Plainview, WabasAa County, MINI.
In the course of our correspondence in
answer to inquiries in regard us to who
were needy and what they needed, we
gave the names of some and stated
their wants as best we could. They
passed this information to some of their
neighbOrs, and soon the whole were ell
listed in our behalf and literally re-
sponded, filling a large box and barrel
with good clothing and bedding, boots,
shoes, etc. And we would not forget
to express our heartfelt thanks to D. J
and family for the interest they have
taken in the welfare of their old neigh
DOrs and friends.

THE IISURYBILL

The effect of Donnelly's usury bill,
should it pass, would be to check the
development of the State. It may be
said that it is better to go slow. and
such development as we can secure un-
der a ten per cent rate is rapid enough.
Perhaps so, aud yet the rapid develop
ment Of the State of Illinois and her
great Chicago, are due in no small de-
gree, to the high rate Of interest allowed
II that State The development of that
State has certainly been as lle;.lthy and
as permanent as that of any other State,
while it has been much more rapid than
that Of States where the rate was down
TO 8 and 10 per cent. During our resi-
dence in Toledo millions of dollars.
which came west seeking investment,
were turned away from that city and
driven to Chicago.
We think the effect of the bill would
be especially disastrous to the newer
counties like our own. It is very diff
cult to secure money at the present rate,
owing to the nature OF the securities,
and this bill would tend to turn away
the little which can now be coaxed into
the grasshoppered counties.

A DARKEYe THAT THOGUHT MORE OF
HIS WIFE THAN OF HIS FREEDOM.
In December, 1872, we were sent on
raid from Corinth, Miss, southwark
on the Mobile & Ohio railroad. The
expedition consisted of brigade of
mounted infantry, four pieces of light
artillery and Ford's company Of caval-
ny, all under command of Colonel Mer-
Ger, OF the 9th Illinois Infantry. After
a three days march, we were within II
miles of GuntoWn, Mississippi, near
| where the reble General Price had rest
ed and recruited his army the previous
Summer. While Mercer rested the bal
ance of his command, our company
was sent on to the village of Guntown
to destroy the telegraph and railroad at
that point. Dashing into the village
Oh the double-quick, we surprised and
captured seven men who had rushed i'll
to stores and dwellings, taking their
horses right in with them and barring
the doors in the hope that we would
pass by without detecting them. No.
ticing IN old gray-headed darkey chop
ping wood near the railroad Station,
Captain Ford had him chop down the
telegraph poles and destroy the wires.
When the darkey had completed his
work, the Captain told him he was now
Il freeman and could mount horse
which we had captured and go back
with us. The poor old man looked
down moment involved in deep
study and then said:
"Massa, can't take d. ole conan
long too?
Tie Captain said Eyes, if she can
ride on horseback fast, for we must now
80 back in Il hurry"
The old darkey hung down his head
and said:
"Den, Massa, I can't go long, for de
ole 'oman can't ride dat way, no how.'
And so we left them. We passed
back by Il double log house where a
number Of Southern ladies were swing
ing their handkerchiefs and appearing
to make true loyal demonstrations and
were, to all appearance, greatly rejoiced
to see the boys in blue. The Captain
thought they must have some unknown
cause for such loyalty and resolved, if
possible, to solve the mystery. and sent
b. L. Moore and myself to the house to
search it while he and Il sergeant went
back OF the house to a thicket where
they captured seven horses and cavalry
equipments and three men. When
Moore and I went in the house, theil
ladyships did seem so very loyal anu
especially when We pulled from under
the bed two sneaking looking Johnnies
and two more from the garnet. The
ladies then manifested their sentiments
They called us all the vile names tt
which they could turn their oily
tongues, and one Of them actually spit
: tobacco juice on Moore. These meI
were guerrillas of the worst character
