Oar little village and surroundngI
country is in the enjoyment Of good
health, and have at least three-fourths
rat0ns for the next twelve months
People are nearly through gathering
corn and sowing wheat. Corn turned
out fully as we'll as was expected, and is
worth GOCGj cents per bashcl \
larger acreage is being put in wheat
than last year
The late fall is favorable to stock
men Pasture. we're never 5attnr--onIy
have to feed work stock, which will
make corn lap further over.
Considerable number Of hogs, but not
so many as arc usually put upon the
market at this place. An interest is
manifested in tie handling Of all kinds
Of stock and producc-a characteristic
Of tac people Of tbs section.
We have but fca iiIcr>, consequently
money is divided among the masses
Not Dragging, but that is what makes u
country peasant to live in mean
where lis money is handled by the
whole people.
Mr. Editor, in the rural districts Of
all countries will be found weak streams
Of water, upon which are small mills,
which takes long time to catch head
of water to grind Il few gri+ts while in
the more thckly-sc,tIcd portions Of the
country are numerous merchant mills
that have at all times water or steam
for any emergency, So it is with YOU
different correspondents. There i
" Rustic and c. and some others
who at all times have II fine head o
water, Il suppose their machinery il
run by water, for if with steam thcr,
would be danger Of cXpIosion,J while i
is different with others, especially the
one at Fiat, who runs Il mill Of ligh
horse power, where it takes Il long time
to catch II head sufficient to even grino
one grst, and then it is 50 coarse tina,
- Rustic" has to double bolt it before
! he can use it, which is all right and per.
I fccty Icgitimatc-it only creates II dis
cordant element in the Journalistic
corps And mark you-ii he patron
| ines my mill will toll his Grain pretty
deep will have it to do in sclidciensc
But YOU will, Of course, as manager ot :
newspaper, have too much prudence t.
say anything about it, for ne is my

" Exit" Of Salem, asks question
Rustic in answering the question
quotes Julius Cwar, and makes an cyit
to the old world among the GauI. and
Gets, and finally accommodates himself
to seat in the Roman Scnatr--pcr
hap, only to exercise the pardonln2
power.
Now, Mr.. Editor, | wish to he under,
stood. The object is to satisfy those in
controversy that there is really nothing
involved the difference is nothing
both contcnding for the same thing.
Bat the question is, who holds the fort
-" Rustic " or scr? They have both
done credit to their ability, and al
will condemn any prejudice that might
grow cut Of what amy one would say
pro or con about contrasting BcIydcrC
with now and Is years arc. E.q. Bib
Green knows more about the history OF
that country than &C. Rustic" ol
Exit all put together, and can write
a more interesting account Of Gallo
way, Pond than all the skyrcrapcrs

climax, man writing from Texas, civ,
ing description Of the liclyidcrc coun-
try, brings wildly to the mind the
"reminiscences Of Bonaparto and his
marshal crossing the Alps. But he,
like Rustic" and &C" uses good
grammar sometimes wish that bad
studied the languages. But my parents
were too smart or too good to waste
means and time, knowing that was
not the smart son, can only console
myself that the Father Of his Country
never wrote sentence that school
boy could not interpret, The weaker
onI Y make IN exhibit of learning. We
have an old fellow down here that SAYS
it Is no use to educate II smart man
that schools are only for those who are
not properly balanced. Still am for
more schools and better schools but
some they will spoil, "world without
