For God and Home and Native Land.
Regular meeting of the Union on
Friday, at the Baptist church, at 3
o'clock z. NJ.
We are sorry to announce the illness
of Hon. j. b. Finch. who was to lect-
ure in this city on the 9Th inst. A
letter from Eau Claire tells us that
"while he was trying to fill his en-
gagement there he was suffering with
rheumatism of the heart and nervous
prostration, and had been obliged to
cancel all engagements in Wisconsin
for an indefinite time but hoped to be
with us in the early fall" This is a
great disappointment to the Union
and Good Templars but we hope he
will be here, as he writes, in the fall.
"Never were we so proud of our Ma
tional President-and that is saying
much-as when she stood up before
large audience in the First Nj. Il.
Church. Chicago, Thursday, making
her maiden plea for maidenly purity
and protection. The difficult topic of
Social Purity, never before presented
to a Chicago mixed audience, was as
signed her at the annual meeting of
the Central Union. She handled it
with such tact, delicacy and power,
that not one of her audience can go
home and forget the responsibility
God lays upon every human soul, not
only to keep itself pure, but to aid
with vital endeavor in keeping pure

ED. JoURNAL:-Please allow me space
in your valuable paper to compare
notes with my old Pierce and st. Croix
county friends in the way of farming
We have had delightful spring for
getting in our crops which are about
all in at this writing. The snow was
nearly all gone when landed here on
the 2lst of March. There had not
been more than eight inches of snow
at any time during the winter.

night but for heavy rain last night

oats-with two teams, notwithstand.

week by sickness. The grain first
sown is up and fields look green.
There are two other farmers here
from Pierce county whose land joins
mine. a Mr.. Andrew Jensen who has
$50 acres seeded. and Mr.. Peter Ander.
son. They are both through seeding,
a part of their crop is up and looking
well.
Cattle are doing well here on the
range. / know the country adjacent
to the Mississippi on both sides the
river from st. Louis to st. Paul, and
from st. Paul to this point, and by ma.
ture this is the best cattle country
ever saw and think it equally good
for sheep, the country being we'll wa
tered and the grass very rich. We
already ship a good many beef cattle
from here to st. Paul and a gOodly
number of young cattle to Montana.
| saw two 4-year old steers this spring
which dressed 400 pounds that never
had any grain. and down in Pierce
county such meat would be called the
product of good corn-fed cattle, and
this is no exaggeration. Yet, there is
plenty of wild lands to be had in Otter
Tail county for from So to $40 per acre.
