From Grand junction.

Mr.. EDITOR:
With your permission / viii give through
the columns of your excellent paper a few
items in reference to YOUR Reighboring town,
Grand Junction. 1t will not be expected OF
the writer to write at any length nor in
deed will it be necessary. l take it for
granted that Jour readers have already been
informed of the increase of her business
within the last few years, and that in this
respect this little village will compare favor
ably with many other places that are much
larger=In spending 4 few hours there l
noticed that there Is now in course of cree
ton Baptist church, and already brick is
being placed on the ground, and its compile
ton is contemplated in the early part of the
summer. The Presbyterians, who were re-
Gently organized into a church, contemplate
l understand building house of worship
at an early day. This is as it should be.
Churches and schools speak well for any
place, and is the best recommendation it
can have. And this community is not be-
hind in the cause of education. Indeed the
people feel a just pride in claiming for
their town the best school in the country;
and, Judging from its rapid growth and
wide patronage, established upon merit
alone, we must accede the justice of the
claim. l have been informed that only a
short time age Prof. BectOn commenced
school with only ten scholars. He has
now eighty scholars on his roll. He asked
for no patronage, but determined that his
school should be built upon merit alone
The Professor proposes to add commercial
department and telegraphy. He is the
right man in the right place. Much could
be said in favor of the Junction as 4 most
suitable place for a school. 1t is claimed
to be remarkably healthy, which indeed is
a most important consideration, and is ac-
cessible from all points by rail. These are
great advantages, not to mention others
But am trespassing at too great length
Respectfully, w. S. CoCHRANE.

AIEssRs. EDITORS:


For some time I have been thinking of
writing to the BULLETIN, but have allowed
delicacy to hinder | see a letter from one
of the fair sex of Middleton in your col
umns, and that has somewhat removed the
barrier. As for crops and farming generally,
You know 1e ladies think very little about
that, unless there is something serious the
matter, and the old folks complain a good
deal however / think the majority of us
are considerable enough on that point. Our
time is coming perhaps latter the knot is
tied" Then We may begin to think some
thing about how the meat and bread is to
come-The young people OF our vicinity
seem to enjoy life We have had sew
eral social gatherings recently: one at Mrs.
WIS. last week, and l must say one not soon
to be forgotten. 1t was not a pound party,
or a starvation either; enough TO say, we did
justice to a sumptioue supper. Messrs. W.
P. Dunbar, w. 0. Jordan and Mr. james
Wellons were the right men in the right
place, as they were very polite to wait on
