Ouits q number of our citizens
express themselves as being willing
TO take stock in the proposed rail-
road from Covington to Mande-
Vile. All should unite in pushing
this enterprise forward. Besides
the increased number of persons
who would be induced to come to
Covington If this road was built, we
venture to say that in short time
innumerable summer residences
would spring up along the line OF
the rosd. creating good home
market for our lumbermen, and
giving steady employment to our
carpenters and builders; the value
of property. especially in the vicin-
ity Of the road, would be greatly en-
hanced; the furnishing of cross-ties
in constructing the road would
give profitable employment to a
large number Of persons. and put
money in the pockets of the owners
Of timber land. In fact, this much
.peeded railroad would bring pros
perity to all. Let it be speedily
bailt. by all mems.

Haffey, An old resident of this town
and county, in reference to the average
number of acres per man, we find that
it would be about SO acres for 1873 and
about SO voters in the town. And for
1879, about 20 voters with an average
of 100 acres. We can see by these f1g-
ures that Hersey is not OH a stand still

press.) The crops are we'll divided up
with wheat, oats, barley, corn. and
some Amber Sugar Cane and flax, and
are looking we'll now, and all are feel
ing rs though we might get a bountiful
harvest.
There are two stores in Hersey with
a mixed stock of goods, which they are
handing out lively. making room for
more new goods. Thos. Fitzgerald has
full assortment, (see advertisement in
this paper. Also Martin Heiser. (See

A LAY SERMON.

A layman of some st. Paul church
writes to the Pioneer Press about the
shortcomings of the clergy and con-
cludes as follows:
Look at Bob Ingerso]l, going about
the country with little child's laugh,
q patient wife and little bird singing
OIL Il bough i'll the sunlight, and their
pathos moving thousands and thous-
ands of souls to their very depths. Our
ministers have the story of the cross
land who can say all that is for a NOV
ing force); they have the garden of
Gethsemane; The lament over Jerusa-
lem; the weeping with the sisters of
llZarus; the talk with the woman at
the we'll; the ''go and sin no more;" the
''sutfer little children to come unto
me'-ol, everything that heart can
wish and infinite Denevulence give
and yet and yet-what? Bob Inger-
soil, with his child's laugh, patient.wife
and little bird, outdoes you all for effect
The child s laugh is heard above Sinai's
awful thunder, and his little bird swing
ing on a bough in the sunlight, chirps
hell out of all your creeds. Not to con-
ttnue these thoughts longer, we con-
clude that if our ministers will initiate
Bob Ingersoll III some respects, and Joe
Cook not at all-will go out Of the
''alias" business; quit the disguises of
the PLATFORM; preach the gospel, and

LITTLE ROCK.

The late wet and hot weather has
brought out a new hatch of hoppers
and they are doing some damage. Tho
deposits of eggs were mainly on new
breaking, and where the ground was
not backset the wheat is nearly all eat
EN- up by them. Unlike the first hatch
they seem to stay with us this time.
The truth of the old adage ''every
man for himself and the ID for us all"
has been exemplitied lately with us; by
one of our townsmen trying to stop the
surveyors from laying out road on the
section line along by his place. lie had
hedged up the section line with trees on
both corners and thought he must have
damage for road to pass there: He
did not get it, however, from the Board
of Supervisors who laid the road out all
the same as though they had not been
there and there stands his trees rs a
monument of his regard for the public
good. If all had done the same all over
these prairies what state would our
roads haye been in now? INDEX.
