From LIE Ray.


The Seven Day Advents have their
church raised and enclosed. They
intend to hold series of meetings
soon. 1 understand that next Satur.
day 0heir Sabbath) they have an ex.
ira service, and wash each others
feet.
Col. Long, of Kentucky, is organic.
ing Good Templar lodges in the State.
He lectured at Eagle Lake in the NJ.
E. church last Monday evening, in
the interest of that order. He organ
lied lodge of l03 members in Eagle
Lake, the largest in the State.
1t Is interesting to note that the
temperance strength of lie Ray is
formed in Eagle Lake and in the south
part of the town. 1t was reported
before election that the members of
the Catholic church were instructed
by their pastor to vote against license.
Since election it is said they not only
voted for license, but helped carry
on the saloon in Lue's blacksmith
shop all day. l do not say this is
true, and write it so that those who
did vote against license, and / believe
some of them did, can vindicats
themselves. We have some grand
good men in our town that did not
vote; that there Is over three hun.
dred. and that two hundred of them
are opposed to license.
The required number of charter
members to organize Post Of the
Grand Army of the Republic in LIE.
Ray has been procured and the Post
will he organized in Eagle Lake.
In passing through different por-
tions of lie Ray some days ago, Twas
surprised to see how much of its
valuable timber has been cut. Soon
the big woods" of Southern Mime
sofa will he no more. The coming
summer, it is expected, two more
railroads will be built through 1t.
that will hasten its destruction. 1t is
said that ten years from now there
will be more valuable timber on the
Western prairie then there will be
left at that time in these grand woods.
1t is true, tho owners of timber land

have heard quite a number say
that the "dog law" was not repealed.
The Reuiew said it died in the House.
You will find by act No. l06 of Gen
eral Laws of Minnesota passed during
session of 1883 that 1t soas repealed.
and that dogs have u right to kill
sheep, if they wish to.
Notwithstanding the mud and
darkness went to the noted White
school house to find out what an
"apple eat" was. I remember when
I was boy. way down East. of at
tending "apple pairing. when the
boys and girls used to sit as close to.
gether as the old folks would let
them and pare apples and eat the
parings. But this was "a different
thing. A genuine "apple eat" l
found the house crowded; old and
young trying to see who could make
the most fun. In one corner was q
barrel with one man on it and another
near 1t as guards. A table in the
middle of the house had number of
boxes on 1t filled with nuts, candy,
pop corn balls, &C. Miss Julia Hum.
iston came with her organ and the
Tivoli choir and enlivened the even.

DEAR PRESS Some time has
elapsed since last i addressed your
able columns. Notes of public inter-
est, in the rural districts, occur not
so often as in cities. And not wish.
ing to usurp too much of your valu.
able room. / have deferred writing
you.
The weather with us is clear,
bright and beautiful. Winters white
shrOud of natures heecy Wilderness
has vanished befoie the scorching
rays Of the MONDAY sun, and only
here and there in the ravines and low
places can any traces OF winter be-
seen. The ready, willing and indus.
trious husbandmen. with which Jack.
son county is populated. are already
Frightening the plow share and max
ing all necessary preparations for the
spring work. Many acres of land are
sufficiently dry and free from frost to
seed. "A much greater acreage of
corn will be planted here this year
than was last year. Farmers are
raising IL great many hogs and much
corn will he needed for fall fattening.
Creameries have the boom and Jack.
son county will have liberal supply
Of them and il is we'll, for few cOun-
ties in the State can boast of a greater
number Or of better cows than this.
1t Is common thing to go into a
yard and count eight, twelve and
twenty cows. Stock is the password;
and grain raising. extensively, is a
thing of the past. And it is a wise
conclusion for the citizens of this
county, for nowhere in the State can
q finer quality of grass be found. or q
greater quantity per acre, than right
here. AS rule the stock through.
out the county is looking splendid.
which speaks in undisputable terms
for the richness of the hay and the
good care received from the hands Of
the owners, and especially after ex.
periencing 80 severe winter.
The Alliance, contrary to the ex-
pectatiOns of some, still. lives, has it's
regular sessions and Is doing "a good
work "in the way of discussion" in
regard to the best plans of tilling the
soil how much, and the best crops
to raise the most successful way of
raising and increasing stock" and
in short all questions that are of im.
portance to the farmers.
Emigration has already made its
appearance among us, and the sum
mer will bring forth great increase
of population in jackson; county. We
hail their coming with joy and greet
ing, for there is room for all who
wish to avail themselves of the gol.
den opportunity Of securing a nice
home on this broad and beautiful
prairie.
Notes of Importance will be readily
forwarded to you and your many
readers, as soon as received We
will endeavor to the best of our abil.
ity, to occasionally refresh the mem.
DRY of our friends that we still exist
and are ready to transact all kinds of
legitimate business, pertaining to the

There was an interesting meeting
of the Owosso Academy of Medi-

on the relation of cleanliness to heath
and essay of more than the ordi-

were more for the public than the
profession and should be printed.
After the exercises in the Hall, a
sumptuous dinner was served in he
chapel of the Congregational church
by the Ready Helpers for the M.

A story is afioat in Indianapolis that
the late Peter Goelet, of New York, who

The shoe and leather interests of
Boston are represented as paralyzed by
the recent failures. The only collapse
Tuesday was that of Macomber &
Greenwood, with factories at Marble

believed to be $4,000. The failure of
Shaw Brothers will prove great blow
to the business interests of Maine.
