We learn that the corn in those parts o
the county where the worm" is bad wa
badly tumbled by the str ong wind which
accompanied the storm last Monday night
The crop will be immense, however, rotwitE

East Lynne, Cass County Since | las
wrote to you from Alma, | have been visitin;
friends IN johnson and Cass counties and an
happy to state that as far rs your correspon
dent has observed the people are prospecting
or course there Is, and l suppose always viii
be, a class OF bipeds who are never prosper
Gus on account of nursing their hands AM
being so much engaged in common gossip
and "tOwnt talk" &C., that their time goes il
luxurious ease, but the workers get the hone.
and are always happy and contented, and a
Il general thing have plenty, and also plent
OF friends. East Lynne is rejoicing in goo
health and holds It's own mighty well con
sidering the competition 1t has to contcn,
against. The people here are just the sam
kind, good natured, clever, agreeable folk
they always were. / was Just shown a hea
Of cabbage that weighed fifteen and one-haI
pounds; it was grown here. The Baily r. r
has quit fishing and blackberrying, and go
up on her ears and you lust ought to see tn
trains fly. They are all on time and seem to b
doing IA thriving business; plenty of passen
gers and freight, SO you see the eastern CAPT
talists will still keep a few OF their sheekel
in Missouri, and won't get discouraged il
regard to their investments here. For fea
some may not understand me in my last lette
from Alma l give you an idea of the wOrl
we did, l mean BY Mr.. George Albin IN,
crew, in the way Of threshing wheat. and
closed by saying this was what our mob did
Now for fear Mr.. AlbIn will feel hurt at thi
expression, l will explain that we Away
got away with the large fields of gram ait
could have gotten away with a few chicken
but they roasted too high; also q few water
melons but they were not ripe. In fact, MI
Editor, we had a very conscientious crew O
workers. both white and black. and Georg
furnished us plenty to eat. Our cook wa
one Of Blackburn's hotel cooks, Dave, every
body knows Dave. We actually had appl
dumplings for dinner. l forgot TO inforr
your reader, that have a self crew and there
by take a burden oil the ladies', so that's til
kind Of a mob we are.
