FRIENDS AND NEIGHBoRs: / had in
tended for some time to write to you,
according to promise, and to let you
| know how we are and how we like it
| out here.
We are all well as far as health is
| concerned. We found here what we
desired, a German Baptist congrega-
ton, with whom we have had many
a happy hour already.
We live two miles from the town OF
Kyle and two miles from church. Our
county is San Marcos, eight miles
from here.
We have bought 60 acres of black
land, of which every foot is tillable
soil. The land is just what Johr
Mundy said it was, as black as it coult
be. The land is good and mixed
somewhat with little stones. 1t doe
not plow as easy as our Missouri land
The main crop here is cotton. Their
are not many hogs here.
To our old friends and we'll wisherI
a happy new year, and instead o.
writing to all we send this to thu
LEDGER and wish you all the riches
blessings of heaven.
Thanking you for all your pas
kindness, 1 am, your friend,

The prompt reform Of those bodily
evils, enfeebled digestion, incomplete as
sanitation, inactivity Of the liver, kid
neys and bladder, as well as Of the
nervous symptoms which these ailments
are especially prone to beget, is always
accomplished by the use OF Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, a medicine accredited
by physicians, pronounced pure by anal
ysis, and eminently wholesome and
agreeable. Surely such a restorative Is
preferable to u~npalatable and indigesti-
BILE mineral drugs and unsanctioned
nostrums. The nation at large assur-
eddy thinks so, Judging by the unpre-
cedented demand for the article from
Maine to the Pacific. a demand now sup,

celved from tropical America. Mexico,
