Here is the testimony of Captain
John, a Pluto loafer: ~"When three,
four bad white men stop and rob one
stage, maybe kill somebody, you send
one Sheriff catch the three, four bad
men; some way when some bad white
men steal some cattle or some horses,
you send one Sheriff but when three,
four bad Injun stop one stage, Kill
somebody, steal some horse orcew. you
no try catch the three, four bad Injun
all white men say: Injun broke out.
lnjun on warpath,' and then come SOL
dier for to kill everybody"

words of J. G.. Sake:

Nay, weep not though the child be dead:
He lives again in heavens mclouded life.
with other angels that have early fed
From these dark scenes of sorrow. sin and strife
Nay, weep not, though thy yearning love
Would fondly keep for earth its fairsst flowers,
And cen deny to brighter realms above.
Inc rev that deck this dreary world of ours;
Though much it seems wonder and a woe
That oneso loved should be so early lost.
And hallowed tears may unforbidden flow
To mourn the blossom that we cherished most
Yet all is we'll; God IS good design see
That where our treasure is our hearts NAV be-,
g. It.

we think to be a very good organization
and We are led to believe, judging from
the gentlemen who are connected with
it, that it will be grand success.
We think our Brass Band will be q
success. Our friend, Esq. Lude, has
never been known to drink but he told
US not long since he was going to take q
"horn" and join the Band.
Our schools move along without any
trouble, pupils all seem to be learning
very rapidly, and teachers and, parents
are working together in the interest of
the schools. This is what makes good
school and it should be kept up.
Our worthy shoemaker j. j. Roberts,
works early and late, he is good work.

man.
Mr.. H. Miller has commenced tieing
tobacco, the girls seem to enjoy the
work very much, if their singing is any
indication of enjoyment

work to do, Notwithstanding the hard

Ed. SPIRIT: Being reader of your
paper l notice correspondence from diff
ferent parts of the country, but as yet I
have noticed nothing from Central Iowa
l thought perhaps few words from
Boone would be of interest to some Of
your readers. I will say in the first
place that the hard times have reached
US, and money is very scarce; but learn
that this is general complaint, and is
not confined TO any one part of the
country.
The health of this locality is generally
good, and Notwithstanding the closeness
in regard to money matters the people
are in good spirits Blessed as we are
with a bduntiful crop of grain, we have
plenty to live on, so we should no: com
plain.
Boone County is well watered, well
timbered, and has an abundance Of the
best of coal, and with a good, deep, rich
soil which is unsurpassed by any coun.
try / believe / can recommend it TO
any industrious man to make home -
Perhaps one-half of Boone County is
improved. Three railroads cross the
county, all Of which are doing fair bu-
siness. The population is made up of
emigrants from the Eastern States, many
from the Buckeye State, and some from
the Ozark Hills of Old Monroe" Land
| is offered In the market very low at pres.
ent. Any person wishing to emigrate
to this part of the country will find this
q good time to come Any person wish
ling to seek home in these parts, and
E6esiring any information further about
the country, if they will let me know
will give any information that I can,
either by private letter or through your
paper.
And now, Mr.. Editor, come to the
most important part Of my letter Ito
you. Your paper is valued by US in.
deed we can hardly do without It,
send you in registered letter IS five
dollars, which you will place to my credit
on The SPIRIT and continue to send il
to my address at Ontario, Story County,
