We have made but little ref
Grace OF late to the progressive
changes within our county Dor
tars. We have mentioned oc-
casionally the aYival of q.
liomeseeker or Il stockman. but
we have hardly chronicled one
arrival for every ten that have
arrived and located within our
County borders since the Open
ing of spring. On our eastern
borders-in close proximity to
the 500 railway the influx of
immigration has been create st
though the grazing districts of
the lake region and the border
lands of Snake creek. and the
country north and west of it
has received many additions to
the population. Tn these graz.
ing grounds-of course-they
are rot all permanent set
tiers. The rich grassy uplands
have attracted the nonresident
cattle fathers. and consequently
unloaded hundreds of carloads
of thin cattle from less favored
States. and are thus enabled to
put the famous North Dakota
trade mark upon their beeves
when they enter Chicago or
other great meat markets where
North Dakota grass fattened
cattle are at q premium.
The energetic 500 railway
managers are hustlers for bus
ness The have a hold but not
Il cinch on transportation in our
county. They act fair with our
people, and that gives them the
hold-and as long as they do
that they have our business.
M. Il. Hurd Of 500 company
has favored the LEADER with
several copies of a neat little
book. profusely illustrated, Civ
ing q detailed description of the
country in North Dakota and
minnesota bordering that great
railway. The book contains a
good write up of Mclean Coun-
ty and withal a truthful one.
We mar republish a part of it
in some future issue, but copies
can be obtained of the LEADER
publisher by those persons in
+erested or likely to become so.
The following ext,act about
Mclean County wool, beef, &c.

"The number of pounds Of
wool clipped i'll 1885 was 1854;
the value of cattle sold to BUTCH

of animamals shipped out of

of poultry and eggs sold was

MS. of the Ordinance of Secession.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch;-
saw, in the Handbook Of the State,
issued by the Commissioner OF Agricui-
ture. that the State Library had fac-
smile of Virginia's ordinance OF seces-
sion. What became Of the original?
CHESAPEAKE
1t is alleged that the original ordinance
Of secession was taken possession of by
the Federal troops when they occupied
Richmond, in 1866; and that 1t is now
either In the State or War Department
at Washington.
1t is certain that the State Library was
pilfered at that time, and many valuable
historic documents purlolned.
The ordinance. however would hardly
have been on exhibition in the library
but, rather. have been filed and preserved
in the archive-rOom.

where he is well and favorably known,
was a victim of that worst form Of dis

baffled the skill of the physicians for
ages, and they have never yet been
able to effect a cure. His mental
despair can better be imagined than
described.
