From a Former Pastor

In letter from one o: the most be-
loved Of former Lexington pastors,
Rev. H. A. Hohenwald, now of Hum
boldt, Nebraska, he says:
"0ur lot here has not fallen in an
unpleasant place. We have learned to
appreciate country and people, but
sometime In the bus'le OF the day or
in the calm OF the night, we feel a
longing for the place where we have
friends still dear to US, where we are
not forgotten, where golden apples
grow aud peaches ripen, where the sun
shines so golden and the moon has
such silvery rays, where home lies
with its people so dear.-That Is the
land of world wide fame, where that
stran. animal, having two steeples on
his head aud one foot at each Of Its
four corners, thrives better than IN
any other state or country. That is
the land Of patriotism, the land OF corn
and vine: that IS Missouri.

some OF the Old friends, say Brother
Given, or Or. Eckle, or old Rev.
Franz, tell them there is good fishing
here. Big catfish, Que half mile from
