Editor Home Journal;
Our farmers are very busy harvesting
Their wheat crops, which will yield
more, think, than was anticipated.
The rust, however, has done some dam
oge TO most Of the crops.
The growing corn is looking better
since the cheated term" set in, and bids
iair to make bountiful yield Mr. D.
Y Brown, Of our vicinity, has the best
corn hive noticed this spring.
Save Il few cases of mcasels and colds
there is but little sickness in our com
munity
This part Of the county seems to at
tract the Northern people every year,
until we are becoming to look upon them
aud their New England ways as a he.
ccssity and a congenial aid, Ever
few weeks new face, with the hardy
Northern stamp upon it, is seen com.
mingling with our people, and no one
thinks otherwise than they are welcome.
But how is 1t that so many foreigners
find such II good country and an agree
able people here, while the young men
who are born and 5rcd here become dis
satisfied and 90 westY Surely We have
an excellent country, or it would not be
so attractive to outsiders.
Now, n word to your readers Stand
by the Home journal, for it has stood
by you when in need Of its assistance.
Never desert Il friend because you can
dispense with what you have looked to
it for in former times. The journal has
stood by us, talked for Us, and honorod
us IN times gone; now, return the com
plimcnt.
Oh, no! we are not a people TO turn
Il "cold shoulder" to Il true and tried
friend. We surely have some heartfelt
friendship, and will not run off far after
Strange gods" CnAEoN.
