Ladysmith, and Gen. Buffers forces
occupied the place. The Boer troops

To the Editor Of The Record.
Dear Sir: ] read an item in your pa
per last week about the coming home
Of young Martin Van Soest and the
feeling there is in the neighborhood.
Now, there are fully seventy Holland
families in the southern part of EN-
mons County, and I do not think that
five families could be found that
would prefer to see the boy come home,
besides as many more Russian families.
II young Martin comes home there
will be more than one family that will
want to sell out; and, il anybody
should have to sell out on account of
the boys return, I think it should be
his father, and then go with his son to
some part Of the country where fire
could not as much damage as it can
do in this section of farmers I, for
one, sincerely hope that the boy will
not be allowed to come back to. this
part Of the country, and T five a good
many miles from his home; but it
wouldn't take long to travel those
miles If the boy wanted to injure some
one by burning him out. hope that
our county and state officials will do
all in their power to keep the boy
where he will be safe and the neigh
.borhood will be safe for few years to
come. Yours, truly, A CITIZEN.
