From Wyandotte correspondence,
in the Seneca Dispaich: I'VE mad,
Il flying trip 10 Baxter last Sunday.
II was our introductory visit TO the
domain of the Jay hawlScrs, aud we
give few of our impressions in
this weeks letter. The face Of the
country around Baxter is that of a
beautiful undulating prairie. the
most beautiful we have ever seen,
aud the farm houses aud farms
give evidence OF prosperity aud
comfort considerably in advance OF
the average medium of states. Tn,
first impression of Baxter was dis
appointing; contrary to our pre-
conceived ideas of the place, it
seemed to us TO be an old fogy
town somewhat dilapidated and on
the retrograde, and in this respect
behind our progressive Seneca.
Later on, when we met group of
citizens at the NJ. +. church, and
found them 10 be an euterprising
looking people, our mind changed
somewhat. The gents were well
and fashionably dressed, and as to
the ladies-well, if there were any
homely or lily nttired ladies at
church that day they had all gone
home before we got there. The
pastor of the church, Rev. l.. w.
Foster, surprised us as a man of
advanced culture and refinement,
and evidently cut out for Mctho-
dist preacher, nor yet spoiled in the
making up-one of those whole
souled fellows who will greet You
with hearty handshake and leave
you with warm place around
your heart. May he blessed in his
good work. The church edifice is
neat and commodious brick struct-
ure built on modern church archi.
lecture, with tower at one corner
surrounded by low dome. as high
steeples are not the thing where
the devastating cyclone OCCASION
ally makes it's onslaught. A class
room on one side and room for
the Epworih League, both con-
nected with the main audience
room by folding doors, are among
its pleasant appointments. The
windows are of fine colorcd glass,
some of them very costly memorial
windows. This editice replaced the
one destroyed by the cyclone of
July 5, 1895. With these evidences
of advance aud the number of fine
modern style residences We noted,
the Inference is that old fogyism is
dying out and new life Is being in
fused into the city of Baxter by
vigorous rising generation. We
visited the reunion park and from IL
obtained a view of Spring river. the
mills and the bridge, and distant
view of Lowell, very enchanting
view"
