The farmers in this locality are getting

from the shower of prosperity that will
likely fall on this prairie, with a view of a

The present outlook of the wheat crop
on this prairie may be viewed as pale and
sickly, and should we lave much dry, cold
weather in March it will bid farewell to
every fear.
We would like to see, near Prairie View
church, grounds for a graveyard selected,
donated, fenced and made ready to be
beautiied with trees and shrubbery the

vim, showing the faith of the citizens OF
Prairie View in printers ink, a mechani-

sary in the lever that moves the world.
Mr.. VIM. McCord and family will start
for Kansas Thursday. We regret to lose
them as n~eighbors, and in society and
church relations we will miss them. Mrs
McCord was teacher in Prairie View Sab
bath school from its organization until the
close of the year 1855, at that time with
drawing, and among the recollectIons OF
past life her scholars may dwell with de-
light on that period of their history when
they were under the care of a teacher
whose love did not cease, even if they
we're ungrateful. She was enabled to
fasten the cords of love to the strong
holds of conscience and to labor as for
eternity. Thanking her for their adj
vancement and the genuine Christian
kindness produced in the minds of her
pupils, as well as love and obedience,
gratitude and esteem, your class join In
wishing you pleasant surroundings In
your new home. We bid you adieu,

Audrain County Cooperation Society.
To sae Christian Churches in Aaarain county.
DEAR BRETHREN-You win remember
that at the County Cooperation meeting,
held last summer at Rising Sun church, /
was chosen president for the ensuing
year. Our next annual convention win
be held at Mexico.
Up to this date No movement has been
made looking to work In the future. II
seems to be the desire of the brotherhood
to Inaugurate the work and make it a
greater success than heretofore. In the
past we have put al evangelist in the
field and asked the churches to take care
of his salary, or rather asked him to take
care of himself.
Now we propose this as a plan Of work:
Let each congregation make up such an
amount as they can and pay it to Brother
Nelson, the treasurer. Have this done by
the 18th of July next. Then the commit
tee will proceed to employ one or more
evangelists and put them at such points
In the county to hold meetings during
August, September and October next as
may be deemed best to the greatest num-
Der. The congregation where such meet
ings are held will be expected to defray
the expenses of such service as far as
they reasonably can do so, and the bal
ance of salary will be supplied out of the
general fund. Our object is to pursue
this course and in time get to all the
churches in the county and thus build
them up as fast as we can:
There are many places that need active
work. Now we earnestly beseech each
congregation to raise all the funds it can,
and we assure you that the money shall
be judiciously expended in the county
The officers will please call attention Of
the members to this matter and urge
them to cooperation.
At our annual meeting this year we
hope to have a full representation from
every congregation in the county.
Now, brethren, will you please take
such steps as will secure the means nec-
essary to lave three or four well conduct
ed successful meeting the coming fall.
Fraternally yours,
NJ. Y. DUNCAN,
Pres. County Cooperation.

Electric Light


Mr.. LlewelIyn's new plant is now
in successful operation. The new
light is the Schuyler and ls,if not the
best light in America, equal to the
very best. The following firms now
use the electric light: J.F. LlewelIyn,
Smith & Cunningham, L. Phillip, j.
F. Griffee, NJ E. Bolts, G. Blum,
Joe & Vic Barth, Dobyns & Gibbs,
j., D. Morris & Co., j. NJ. Pollard,
g. B. Morris, Sallee & Brooks and
W. A. Morris. This is the first
Schuyler light west of the Mississippi.
Louisiana and Breokfield will soon
have a plant. The Schuyler, although
a new company, has come to the front
at once.
Mr.. Llewellyn has now a capacity
of forty lamps with power for twenty
more, which can soon be ready if the
citizens support it. The reputation
and advertisement Mexico gets by
having electric light is worth consid-
ering and worth supporting. The
light will be increased as the citizens
and city will help in the matter.
There is no doubt but what the citi-
zens of Mexico want our streets
lighted. If they will combine
we can have Mexico at night as light
as day at a slight cost to each bust
ness man.
