what beautiful ton Of coun-

We were just Ecending
rise of ground SAroad and
soon came il Slhtact with a.
thrifty 1ookins 3 II town with
shade estrees onssl OH side of the
streets and 10y dwellings, neat
sidewalks, U aate business
houses, and peopls moving about
in a lively nlanR and was in
formed that this Twas Lysander
and we would sc be. at the door
Of our friend assing down
one street tand aIY another until
finely we were avn up in front
Of a beautiful rsg nce and was
told that this svasA Aour stopping
place. Just then lhe door opened
and our friend DAy had me by
the hand and Itti}d to keep time
with that shake RSt had to give
it UP. Brother sd sister Day
looked as natnraEss if l had met

necessary for m to say that II

Twas the best three days I have
enjoyed for years I went there
in poor health Ind came back

a furnace in the basement, which.
is large room nearly equaling
the ground surface of the whole
building, with cemented floor
and solid walls Of masonry with
different appartm ents for vege-
tables and supplies of different
kinds. All Of which was a model
OF neatness and convenience.
The out buildings, consisting Of
barn, chicken house and others
corresponded well forsize, beauty
and convenience, with ample
ground room, dotted with shade
trees, shrubbry and fruit trees.
The ground which these build
lngs practically cover together
with orchard numbers eleven
acres which taken altogether
makes a beautiful home and
valuable piece of property, worth
much more than Bro. Day paid
for it,
did not intend to give their
place write up, when I was
there but since coming home l
thoughtthe Hope friends would
be interested with a description
Of their home and so took the
liberty without permission from
brother and sister Day to des-

they will not take exceptions to

attachment to their Dakota home
land friends which will not soor
be broken, and though can
