r'orable condition. On the nights
of the 10th and 18th uIt., it was
blown off its foundation blocks, and
is in much need of other repairs
which the School Board has failed
to make. We think if the School
Board mean to educate the children
there, it bad better see about having
some repairs made to same. The

The DEVILS Shrewdness vs.. Church
Stupidity.

The protestant church Of Iowa has
sold out to monopoly for temperance,
but instead OF getting temperance,
it has got prohibition with the big
Des Moines iistillery attached to 1t
as tail to fly its prohibition kite.
The church, like Esau, sold her
birthright for q mess OF pottage, but
failed to get the pottage. Cheap,
yea, very cheap.
The devil never makes contract
with the church unless he gets the
best end of the bargain. As the
Chicago Express says: 1.-THE devil
pays the highest salaries and thus
secures the best talent at the bar.
the pulpit, and Ia the nations coun-.
GELS" The devil Is shrewd old
cuss. or else the church is wofully
stupid.
The only way that the church can
advance the cause OF temperance, il
to form an alliance with the reform
element OF society. It can never ad-
vance the cause Of temperance, by
forming league with monopoly and
the devil. g. Il.

FRIENDS W. r. e. F. j.
This is my fourth winter In Flor
Ida and two summers. We like thu
country and the people, nearly al
the people In this place and in /
great many other Florida towns, are
made up Of Northern people. 70,
will find them from every state II
the Union, and a good class of peo
pie. A great many that come to Fla.
bring plenty OF money, and they
spend it.
Laboring men get good wages, Sc
they have plenty to live on. W.
have no poor Farm or paupers il
this county. No saloons In this
town, and but very few in the county,
and it Is rs large as four Of Howard
county. There Is but very little
complaint Of hard times here, every
one seems to be making living
without a great deal Of grumbling.
When we left Crcsco, Situated as
we were). some Of our friends thought
we would wish ourselves back in
Howard county, but we have not
been sorry yet.
Iowa Is one OF tho best states in
the Union, and Howard county Is the
cream Of the state. We think a great
deal Of Cresco and OF Howard coun-
ty, and respect the people, no fault
to find with them. We have about
the same class Of people here, only
we have more Americans, no Nor
wegians and but a very few Ger
man and Irish. or course, we have
a few (of the dark eolored race.
The one great objection we had to
Iowa, was the long cold winters. I
went to Howard county in 1856, lived
there % years and would be satisfied
to live there % years more IL Iowa
had the Florida climate, but as that
cannot be I think we will be contented
here for few years. Mrs. W.,
thought (as a great many others do)
before she came here, that it would
be most impossible to stand the
summers in Florida, as 1t was so far
South. After trial Of two summers
she says she likes the summer bet
ter than the winter, and that she Is
satisfied with Florida, and
let me say right here, that the whit
ers are good enough for any one,
no matter who is. This winter has
been An uncommonly cold one, and
though it has injured the young
trees in some parts, and floze some
oranges, it will not be a serious
On the East coast there
has been but very little damage.
I have some over 800 young trees
and they are all alive. Some trees
dropped their leaves from the frost,
but they are all starting out now
nicely. An orange tree never drops
its leaves, always green, winter and
summer, without they have to, as
some did this winter from frost.
