OUR ADRIAN LETTER.


EDITOR ADVANCE: The beautiful
weather we have been having makes us
think that the 'Springtime is coming,
gentle Annie," and we are watching
the bushes for the appearance of Robin
Red Breast and his co-llarbinger, Mr..
Dlue-Bird. The timber Oh the Kama
rama has not yet changed winter for
summer clothes. The unobtrusiye ill.,
tie hopper has not put in an appearance,
and we seriously regret that he has not.
In fact we feel deeply his want Of APP
probation. Now, the only part of the
season that he would be truly welcome,
when we have leisure to show him
round and tickle his ribs with pleasant
little stories of the coming summer.
when he can feast and revel on the
broad fields of succulent, tender blades.
We are willing to devote whole Sec
ton or two to them, where there is
plenty Of dry grass. We win get up
bonfires and toast him to any extent
within our power. But we want him
to come now and not wait until we are
So busy that we cannot be EOspitatle.
While searching around for local items,
we noticed an addition had been made
to Mr.. Ludlow's establishment. lie is
now a resident l,nd-holder, has taken
in bachelor friend for company in the
absence Of his better-llalf. From the
number of wagons and horses collected
about his shop we incline to the belief
that business is looking up.
we had preaching in our village last
Sabbath for the first time. Mr.. Bunce,
OF LuVerne, was the minister. Quite
Il large company were present. The
meeting was held in the Office of the
hotel. Mr.. 3. has been holdinga series
of meetings west of us ut which there
was considerable interest manifesto t..
Our school is i'll a fl0uriShing condition
and our teacher is giving Il good ac-
count OF her stewardship. G. II. Carr
gave an entertainment to the young
folks of the surrounding country on
the evening of the 18th which passed off
very pleasantly.
Our landlord 7. II. Childs is looking
for warm weather next summer and
has built an ice house on the north side
of the hotel. We saw him with II
friend prowling about the Kanaranza
and noticed them on their return empty
ing something out of their boots and
wringing their stockings and supposed
that if they had not found ice, they
found something it was made of. Wis
ions of ice-cream and milk with ice in it
and other nice things kept cool rise be-
| fore our mental vision.
forgot to say, in the proper place,
that Mr.. Carr gave 4 tea-party few
evenings since, and from what I can
learn it was very pleasant affair. The
impression made by the appearance of
the table was that there had meyer been
any grasshoppers in this county.
A resilient of this village mistook
some pigs that were hung up on the
north side of building to cool for an
other residents socks, but it was get
ting dark, and, well, we do not want
any more such talk about the agricult-
ural productions of.this vicinity.

F. Zorn writes from Montezuma,
Iowa:
Ibelieve I could have wintered in
Minnesota cheaper than here, for I had
enough up there to keep me through
the winter, while here l have to buy
everything, besides having 50 much
pect have hardly done anything. Of
course. while we had so much sickness,
I could not do anything. But the
money goes every day nevertheless,
whether earn any or not. So you see
that our change so far has not been
pleasant to us, yet if we had stayed the
winter up there, we would hardly have
got away in the Spring, and perhaps it
would have been best for us to hold on
a little longer, though the indications
for better are very poor indeed.

The ADVANCE shows judgment in
anticipating, to some extent, a grist of
'hoppers, and exhibits grit in the de.
termination to fight them. The Senti-
mel has I'LL the time maintained that
the danger was not through those that
Matched in our midst, and it does not
advise borrowing trouble on account of
BARBARIAN hordes' - from foreign re.
gions. We believe that with proper
efforts the farmer will raise enough to
live upon next year, and has chances OF
doing much more. In the high sandy
places the pests will probably hatch out.

er there are not persons in the county

quantities of seed wheat, or the money
to buy the same, and take share Of
thu crops, the farmers to furnish the
land and every thing needed to harvest
and deliver the grain. Some are will.
ing to lear one-half the loss, in case OF
failure, and to give one-third in case
there is a crop. Are there not men in
Worthington who can help tue farmers
some in this Way?
