Former Mexico Man Writes an Inter,
esting Letter From Nebraska.

hosELAND. NEB., Dec. q. Dear
FRIEND; l want to thank you for your
KIND remembrance OF me. Yours was
the first letter l have received since
leaving Mexico and / was happy to
hear from you and all the old friends
at home. You send me a long list
Oh deaths, all Of whom 1 well remem-
Der, and want to sympathize with
tneir friends. l have received notice
OF the death of William Harper since
you wrote me. He is another good
man called to a better reward.
1 remember the last words l had
with you. l said / was going to pre-
pare myself for death. l little thought
| should live to Communicate with
you again, but the good Lord has
spared my life to the present time.
While He has called many younger
than l TO the judgment seat to rem
der an account Of their stewardship.
The sixteenth Of December l was
eighty-seven years old, and l know
cannot remain here but a short time
and am willing to go at the Lords
calling.
We had a very wet spring and sum,
mer and our crops are under an average
this year. The high waters destroyed
many bridges; and we also had severe
cyclones, which destroyed many houses
and barns.
Politics In this country is not sc
much talked Of. No one seems tt
know or care who is in or out of office,
though the "town ring" makes out
the ticket and some vote. We have
the Fusion party, which are Demo.
Gratis and Republicans. l can only
say, down with the boodlers,
should like to meet with my old
friends in Mexico once more. To them
| send my respects. Your friend,
@. II. LANDER.
