is unexcelled, and Stevens county
peculiarly situated as it is on the

at its best. This spring the weather |
has been perfect in it's geniality,
bringing comparative happiness even
to our chronic-kicking farmers; but

go a-fshing," or, with his tin-pigeon-
Strengthening gun, to HE him totheprai-
ries to bring down the plaintive plov
er;while along our main avenue could |
be seen, in good form, the high-step-
ping racers g our i-tf-loving youth.
All nature seemed brimful of health |
and joyousness. A scent of the flow
ering plum trees fionted on thebreeZe.
Children with handfuls Of violets and
buttercups and all manner of sweet
smelling blossoms, laughed and shout
ed in their gambols. Every body,
we say, thought this paradise, yes
terday, save our undertaken who
looked on the scene and went home
sick. Yes, even the doctors seemed
and predicted dull bust
ness during the summer.
