"Why," said Mr.. Curtis, "if that meet

one or two reporters would have dropped
in tor few moments, in order to get the
drift of the meeting, and then adjourned

INDIAN LAKE ITEMS,

1<NDIAAS Ian G4uS.
DR.. Churchill recently examined his
garden for grasslopper eggs. lie found
great many holes where eggs had
been deposited, but found only two
small cells containing eggs. lie found
a good many of the black-headed grub
which destroys the eggs. Farmers
have their ground ready and will SOW
if they can procure seed. Henry Hag-
gard caught Is pounds of fish in Round
Lake On Monday evening last. It is
supposed that 20 tons of fish have been
taken out of the lake this winter. There
was pleasant party at the residence Of
Jude Phillips, near Round Lake, Oh the
ed. Some 25 persons were present.
There was music and dancing and Il
good supper, and all enjoyed themselves
hugely. Charley Campbell has bought
house Of Mr.. Mills and moved it 20
his own place. Mr.. Campbell last sum-
mer discovered what is thought to he
quite limestone quarry on his place.
He took out about tllree-quartors Of a
cord and the indications are that there
is Il good deal more. The stones are
| regular flat limestone.

Letter from President Drake.
The Swanson Matter Explained.
Endorsement Of the Colony
Company.

We have received the following letter
written by President Drake and ad-
dressed to both papers:
ST. PAUL AND Sioux CITY AND)
SIOUX CITY & ST. PAUL r.. Rs.
ST. PAUL, Feb. q, 1877.
EDITORS WoRTHINGTON ADVANCE
AND JOURNAL: Gents-My attention
has been called to articles in your re-
spective papers discussing the relation
of Miller, Humiston & Co., to this
Company as Colony Agents, and their
business transactions with purchasers.
Miller, Humiston & Co., and F. C. Tay-
lor have separate contracts with the
Company 10y which they are authorize
ed to sell lands of the Company but
neither have authority to bind the Com
pany on their receipts for money and
am not aware that either have ever as
sumed to give receipts except on
their individual responsibility. Miller,
Humiston Il Co., have been in the hab-
it Of receiving money from purchasers
as their agent, and forwarding the
same to the Company. In the Swan
son case that seems to be the subject
OF criticism: the facts appear to be that
the tracts Of land were contracted to
Swanson and to one Chelberge, and were
sent up to the Company as two sales,
with Il view Of taking contracts In
their names. In the mean time az
engagements had been made by which
Swanson was to take both contracts in
his own name. TO perfect the papers
they were returned to Worlhingt on,
and by some oversight were not return
ed to this Office for issuance of contract
until attention was called to the same
by presentation ut the office of Miller,
Humiston & Co. 8 receipt to Mr.. Swan
son, which OF course the Company could
not recognize. Mr.sHumis: on was un-
expectedly called from home and de-
tanned for months during which time
the Swanson case rested without
action. Prof. Uumiston was at once
notified of the matter, to which lie
promptly responded expressing regret
at the neglect, and requesting the Com
pany 1T once to make the contract and
he would perfect it by payment. There
is nothing in this case in any manner
rejecting on the good faith or honesty
of Prof. Humiston. The receipt given
for the money was a proper thing to do
ut the time. and the only censure that
can justly attach is the neglect before
he left home to take out tI,e contract
which was done promptly when remind
ed of the omission.
In business intercourse of five years
with Prof. Humiston, no single circum-
stance has come to my notice which has
in any manner impaired my confidence
i'll him as a man of truth, honor and
honesty. For his untiring devotion
and sacrifices. for the interests of the
Colony, he deserves more credit and re.
ward than he ever has or is likely to re-
ceive.
Respectfully,
Il. +. DRAKE, Prest.

TO ADVERTISERS.

One Of our merchants who recently
put Q notice int the ADVANCE was in 4
few days overrun with responses from
all parts of the county. lie discovered
thus how thoroughly the ADVANCE
circulates among:the people. We send
to the Grand Prairie and Handy post
offices (both for Grand Prairie subscri-
bers,) 10 copies; to the Adrian and
Westside postoftices, (all for subscribers
OF one portion of the county, % cop
les; to the Graham Lakes and Seward
postoftices, (all for settlers in the north
ern part of the county, 10 copies; to
the Bigelow postoffice direct, Is copies;
to the Hersey::postottice Is copies, and
to the other postotlices in the same pro-
portion. Our Lorain, Indian Lake,
Elk, Dewald and Summit Lake subscri-
bers get their papers through the Wor-
Ellington postofiice, and a number of
the residents Of Bigelow, Hersey Ran
som and Seward, do the same. Thus,
there are IA residents of Bigelow who
get the ADVANCE through the Worth
ington Office.
We give these figures to show how
thoroughly the ADVANCE circulates in
the county. This is bona~ fide circu-
lation. The people take the ADVANCE
because they want it and they intend
to pay for it. We believe we are safe
in saying that at least five times rs
many peopleln the county can be reach
ed through the ADVANCE us can he
reached through any other paper pub
liShed,
