Soldiers, please look over the Demo- -Backer
ticket and see how many of your old com
rades you can find on it.
Geo. W. Matthews has sold out his job
printing Office. There is to be new paper
started at Lawrence soon. We understand
Ed. Wilson takes charge of it.
The Academy of Music, at kalamazoo, was
crowded to its utmost capacity to hear our
eloquent Congressman, Hon. J. C. Burrows.
Hundreds went away unable to gain admis-
sion.
Mrs. Rose Allen met with quite an acci-
dent the other day. She was building fire,
when an explosion occurred and burned her
face so badly that physician had to be
called to attend her.
Yesterday morning Tom Burgess, Esq,
brought us beautiful bouquet consisting of
pansies, roses, geraniums, etc. He said he
thought he would gather the roses before
frost killed them. Thanks.

J. c. GOULD, Secy. PETER HARw1cK, Pres.
Prof. ]. H. Rosecrans, of Cincinnati, con-
cluded, on Saturday last, weeks instruc-
ton in vocal music, to the members of the
Christian church, in this village and to such
others as chose to attend. On Sunday even
ing very interesting song service was held
at the church, conducted by the Professor.
Mr.. Burrows had very large attendance
at his meeting at Lawrence, on Monday
evening last. 1t was intended to hold the
meeting in Chadwick's Hall, but that was
packed to overfowing, long before the hour
of the speaking arrived, and an adjournment
was had to the Congregational church. This
building was packed so full that it broke
down, the floor settling several inches, and
large numbers were unable to gain admit
tance Mr.. b. spoke for two hours and
half, and the universal verdict was, that it
was the best speech be ever delivered in
Lawrence. His meeting at Hartford in the
afternoon of the same day, was also grand
success. This county will give him hand
some majority over his fusion competitor.
We make the following extracts from
letter just received from our friend, James
F. Buiard, of Aberdeen, Oak, which will be
of interest to all old soldiers as we'll as to
other friends We invite careful perusal
and the country around it are the most de-
hghtful l ever saw. The crops are excellent.
The average of the wheat crop is estimated
at 80 bushels per acre from second plowing,
and 20 from first Oats yielded from 40 to
90 bushels, and some as high as 107 bushels
per acre. l have seen potatoes weighing 81
lbs. each, and we have turnip raised ON
Duncombe's farm, weighing 141 lbs, and
beet which weighs 9l5 lbs. Cabbages grow
so large that one would make meal for $50
dutchmen. In some places the pumpkin
vines grow so fast, that they wear out the
pumpkins dragging them around. l have
163 acres of land, two miles north and twelve
miles west of Aberdeen, and timber claim
of 160 acres, two miles further south, and AZ
soon as can prove up on my presumption
claim, shall enter soldiers homestead. All
the land in this vicinity will be taken up
within the coming year. l hope the boys
will all vote for ]. G. Burrows. and l wish
you would tell them so for me. l am a
Greenbacker from the crown of my head to
the sole of my feet, but l am no mongrel.
l cannot see how any man can endorse a
man who is trying to ride two horses, going
in different directions. l think the man
who attempts it is liable to get split, as he
ought to be. And not only that, 1 know
from personal knowledge that Mr.. Burrows
is friend to the soldier and think it is the
duty of every soldier to vote for their friends
l think the mongrel county ticket is the
worst l ever saw. There are men on that
ticket who cursed the Greenback party, and
called them everything but honest men, and
how true Greenbacker can vote for such
men, gets me. There is another thing that
is noticeable, there is not a soldier on the
mongrel ticket, while on the other see
number of good soldiers. hope the boys
will stand by their soldier friends, and let
such men as Ed. Blackman know that they
will have nothing to do with those who call
two-thirds of them thieves and robbers az
