The early corn here will not make
bushel to the acre. Many are selling
their stock. The pastures are all
dried up and many are feeding hay
now. Prosperity is striking many
on the wrong side. We have believed
for many years that many are trust
ing in parties to carry them through |
instead of the Giver OF all things. |

with the rest Men and nations have
been punished for their misdoings. |
We believe many things which are
done in the government now are
more degrading than in Bible times. |
