The following paragraphs, taken from the
Grant county ReOiew, presents good showing
for good town:
Milbank, on the H. & D. division of the
c., M. IL st. Paul r. r., west of Minneapolis,
is three years old, has population OF 1,200
to 1,500, is the end of the division, has
solid brick round house with ten stalls, a
Touring mill, three churches, all fine editices,
large graded school building, public
library association, owning its own building,
neat structure 20x34, with 400 volumes OF
the best works on its shelves, and all the
principal magazines and papers in its read
ing room. The town is surrounded by fine
country, which is a gently rolling prairie,
and is well watered by numerous streams
coming from mountain springs IN the
Dakota hills lying about ten miles west OF
the town. The county was settled mainly
in 1879 and 1880, with the best farmers from
Minnesota and Wisconsin and states further
east The population is about 1000, and the
intelligence of the people is shown by the in
terest manifested in the erection OF school
houses; it is estimated that there are on
an average three school houses in every
township.
Three elevators in Milbank indicate the
importance OF Lne wheat Interest III biliS
rapidly growing town. Much interest is. also
being manifested in the raising of stock, the
country is peculiarly adapted to this industry
the native grasses being very nutritious
and running streams throughout the entire
extent.
The tone of society in Milbank is about
the average of the rapidly growing western
towns, as evidenced by her fine churches,
and library, and elegant school building.
Any one in search of prosperous, healthy
location, could not find one combining more
of the requisite qualifications.
The Hon. j. c. Easton, of La Crosse, a
director of the Chicago, Milwaukee q St.
Paul railroad and former heavy owner of
Southern Minnesota railroad stock joined the
party at Woonsocket and concluded the trip
with them.

Progress in North Carolina.

That there has been considerable pro-
gress in North Carolina is beyond cues
ton. Prior to the war no money crops
were planted in the southern part of
the State, except a few ground-peas
and a little rico in New Hanover, and
some cotton in Arson. There was some
cotton grown in Edgecombe. Heavy
black tobacco was cultivated in Warren
and in half a dozen counties to the west
ward. These were all the ''monev''
crops. Now rice is grown in the north
east. Cotton is cultivated from Cataw-
ba along the South Carolina line and'up
to Halifax, covering one half of the
State. Tobacco is grown in nearly all
the rest OF the State. The mines OF the
west are greatly developed. Our mon
ey crops are worth fully ten times what
they were before the war. And yet we
accumulate no wealth.
Farming is hardly more profitable
than it was before the change. One of
the reasons is to be found in the high
rate Of interest which the farmers paw
on their advances. To correct this evil
the farmers ought to make their own
supplies; buy no provisions; live on the
Eroducts of their farms, and have the
proceeds of their cotton and tobacco
crops as their surplus. If they will do
this, they will lay up money. Until
they make such change they will be
Dor. They can not be prosperous
while paying heavy interest. The ques-
tion--does farming pay-has been in
diligently discussed all over the coun-
try. and the answer is invariably the
same, it does pay more certainly than
any other business if one is prudent and
does not permit his substance to 60 for
interest. Government bonds BEARING.
three per cent. are above par; but the
farmers pay fifteen to twenty-five per
cent. when they buy on credit, and give
a lien on their crop. To besure, under
these circumstances they are only work.,
ing that others may reap the fruits of
their toil.-Raleigh IN. CT Nesvs.

DR.. Juds0n's Pillow.

DR.. Judson, N of the earliest mis-.
sionaries to Burmah, completed the
translation of the New Testament in
1888. The manuscript was destined
within year to enter on q
strange history. The Judsons went to
Ava, the Capital Of the Empire, very
hopeful OF doing effective missionary
work there. War, however, broke out
between England and Burmah, and all
foreigners were soon regarded with
great suspicion. DR.. Judson was ap-
pretended, and with cruel violence and
gross indignity was cast into the DEATH
prison. In a few days, through a money
payment, he and the other prisoners
were removed from that awful place to
an open shed within the prison bounds.
There they lay with irons upon
their limbs. When her husband
was thrown into prison one of the
1lrst acts OF his wife, Emily G. Judson,
