Rush county has no such natura

Wapello county has, as this writer
happens to know. as he was borl
there; yet skillful and intelligen
farming, aided greatly by the rlvalr,
begotten of their County and Stat'
Exhibitions, which are uniformly sue

fine art, much less of drudgery
and vastly more profitable than it i
among our people.
Men and brethren, this should NO
be SO.
