has been anything written from this

We are still living and kicking, and
want the outside world to know it.
The Methodists are building parson-
age for their pastor, which they expect
to complete before winter sets in for
good. A subscription paper is in circu-
lation and $40 already signed toward
it. We hope they will shell out more
literally for the 'Lord l0veth cheer
full giver." The building is located in
a CONSPICUOUS place and will show off
well.
Mr.. Henning, our minister, has TAX

and is doing finely. The attendance is
good. A class is soon to be organized
here of a few members. The people
are quite interested and hope religious
services will not be discontinued during
the winter.
At the White school house we are
having regular services every Sabbath.
The attendance is large and the inter-
est increasing. Glad to see 50 much
interest taken and hope it will grow.
There is great need of a revival,
and from present indications see no
reason why it should fail.

Matt. Tower has moved upon the
prairie where there il plenty of fresh
air, and Mr.. Hamlin is carrying on the
place vacated on the bottoms. Give

the winter and Ill bid defiance to
storms and tempests. While the wind
is sweeping the prairie and flashing it
like an Infatuated demon the sheltered
bottom lands are impervi0us to be

The Presbyterian church is soon to
have a preacher. They have fine
building and it is pity to see it re-.
main idle so long. What is needed are
chairs for the pulpit.
A debating society, understand, is
soon to be organized, which is very
much needed to pass away the long
evenings. Lone Tree has the material
for good lyceum and we hope to see
it marshaled into the arena of debate.
We have not forgotten the memorable
trial of the winter of TT and the ex-
element consequent thereon. Let us
have another.
The fall has been fine and the farm

The old tree that stood as solitary

many weary miles, and found at Ia a
safe refuge from the foe among its
