and in. Cleveland's > cabinet is said to
bo made up. Bayard for Sec etary of
State, Manning Secretary of the Treas
ury, Garland Attorney General, Villas
Secretary Of War, Lamar Postmaster
General.
Parties who come to Mobiles county
in quest of land, should make it Il
point, first of all, to call upon l.. s.
Nelson, Esq, OF Adrian. All the land
in Mobiles worth having is located in
the western part Of the county, to
which Mr.. Nelson's operations are
chiefly confined, and land-seekers will
only waste their time, or suffer worse
anything farther east. Mr.. Nelson
desired concerning the lands he has for
sale, and what I've says may be implicit
ly relied upon.-Luverne Herald.
Parties wanting land in the western
part of Mobiles county will do we'll to
call on l.. 5. Nelson, 1T Adrian, who is
doing !. ''land-otlice husiuess'' OUT
there.
Parties wanting land in other parts
of Mobiles county Will do we'll to Call
on J. p. Moulton. at Worthington,
who has scla large quantity of land,
over $50, 900 worth to actual settlers,
in q short space of time. lie has list
prepared and is ready to meet the
spring boom. Last week he sold near.
ly sou acres for $3.50, and is working
up number of good sales. He is con-
ducting d large correspondence and ex.
poets y good business this year.
Parties wanting as fine land us there
is in the west, right in the Big Onion
Bed, the Sacred Soil and the Shining
Mountains Of the Indians, should select
it anywhere in MOBILES county.
Parties reading up for Information
will please remember that the Rock
County Herald pe;sistently, deliberate.
ly aud unscrrpul .',sly lies about Wor-
thinyton and f. ,Stern Mobiles, and con.
tim,ally misreprtscnts and uistOrts the
facts.
We have made inquiry Of business
men and of collectors ard they uni
f"rm|y tell US that the farmers Of East
crn Mobiles are much nearer out OF
debt, much more prompt in paying
their bills, and are better stocked ~
than the farmers Ot Western Mobiles
AMI Of Rock county.
This tells the whole story.
1t may be that prohibition does not
prohibit, but it seems that colnpe tition
does compete. at least the Spirit Lake
Beacon says of the railroads ut that
point:
Spirit Lakes second railroad has
been of untold value to every interest
within our commercial range. We
happen to remember the arguments
urged against giving bonus to the Mil
waukee company. 1t was emphatically
urged that Il second road would do us
40 good; that the companies would
pool aad be up to I'LL sorts OF chicanery
to prevent competition and grind down
the common herd; that better rates
would be given points on each side OF
us on either road, and SO on. 1t has
been satisfactorily demonstrated that
competition does compete in railway
affairs. The Burlington, Cedar Rapids
4 Northern, or in fact the Rock Is
land, and the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st Paul companies are among the
most powerful railway corporations in
the world, and from valuable expert.
ence Spirit Lake is able to say that
towns touched by both are decidedly
fortunate.
