1t was the remark Of a stranger, stand

cd in many States, and had visited many
towns, but he had never seen a town, no
older than THIS is said to be, Ia little over

out, and so compactly built up as Dunn.

ance of the place, and the genial cordial

desirable thing to live here. To ali of
which, we, Of course, most heartily as

GOOD FARMING.
We will venture the assertion that the
farming that is done IN Hafnett county is
as sllllfully and as neatly done, as that
of any county in the State. And the
character of the soil, take it all in all, is
as fine fer the crops which are produced,
as can be found in any locality in all this
section of country. Bat there ought to
be more attention paid to the raising Of
small grain by our agricultural friends,
and also to the grasses Of various kinds
and qualities.
We want to see the farmer prosper IN
all things. We want to see him ga po,cer
m the Iand,' recognized and ackno wledg-
ed by all other calIings and occupations
as the upA0lder, yea, ''the pillar and
ground'' of our whole DEMONSTRATING
fabric; and more than this; we want to
see him the best educated, the best in
formed, and tie highest type Of man in al
the realm.

he was breaking to work. The hand was
in a horrible condition, ard the int,am-
nation was rapidly extending throughout
his entire system. Every kuckIe on his

consulted several physicians, and taken
