Rev. G. P. Fuson Writes Interestingly of His New Home In the West, Where He Is Pleasantly Located.

The following is an extract from a letter written by Rev. G. P. Fuson, late of this city and now of McCook, Neb., to W. T. Whittington:

MCCOOK, Neb., Dec. 4, 1895.—I am not in the least homesick, but I shall never forget the old ties of friendship, made doubly strong by many years of pleasant association. THE CRAWFORDSVILLE JOURNAL is a weekly visitor to our home, and its columns always have some things to tell us which are of interest to every member of the family. Four weeks to-day since we arrived here. Hardly time yet to give any general impressions of the country or the climate. I have seen nothing as yet to change my first impressions. The air is dry and pure to me it is like a tonic. I eat with as keen a relish and sleep as soundly as a healthy child. I have gained 4}£ pounds in the four weeks. I think if I can go through the winter without contracting a heavy cold I will have a new lease on life. And O! "the windy West! windy Nebraska!" How about that? Well, I don't know what of the future. We have had two or three windy days, but not more than we have been accustomed to in, Indiana. I think Crawfordsville has won so far. The wind has not blown down any brick walls, signs or shade trees here.

In our church work there is nothing of special interest. This is a time for sowing. In the meantime 1 am look ing the groucc? over and weighing the possibilities in reference to anew church building.

Yesterday, upon the invitaiton of the Superintendent, I visited the city schools. There are nearly 700 pupils. After a fifteen minutes talk to the busy workers in the assembly room, I could not refuse the kindly invitation of the Professor to spend an hour with the Seniors in the study of Literature. The book used was Milton's "Paradise Lost." As they fired their hard questions to me I forgot that I was a preacher, and was back in the school room again, where I spent seven of the best years of my life. It was a delightful hour and I will not be loth to repeat it again. The public schools here are not much different from the schools of Indiana. In one thing the law here is certainly superior: Every county is compelled to furnish all of the books, and they are kept in the schools. It costs the tax payers 53 cents per child. But this small outlay provides for poor and rich alike and I when a family moves from one county I to another they are not the unhappy owners of a lot of new, but worthless, school books.

The day is so bright and summer-like that I am tempted to close this letter and walk out and enjoy it.

I see by the paper that you have had preu'ihing for two Sundays. I hope the Lord has sent, or will soon send you, the man of His own choosiDg. I ain anxious to hear of the prosperity of the dear old church.

My love to all who inquire about me. Write me as often as convenient. Best wishes and God's blessing.

Your Brother. G. P. Fusox.

that we were prepared for an extraordinary season, but as a matter of fact the season has been against us and we must reduce our stock.

that we have more Blankets, Shawls, Dress Goods, Silks, Underwear, Portieres, Hosiery, Lace Curtains, Linens, than we can afford to carry over.

that we must sell these goods right now, as we make it a positive rule not to carry over any goods subject to the season.

as it may seem, it is nevertheless a fact that Myers & Charni would rather lose a big pile of money now than to hold over merchandise with which they are stuck.

The debate at Jackman's school house last Friday night was well attended by our people. The question, "Resolved, that the world is growing morally worse," was discussed and decided in favor of the negative. The affirmative was ably handled by Edgar Slavens and Newton Lee, and the negative by Geo. Largent, P. M. Buck and A. T. Kellison. Mr. Kellison, who recently returned from the West, demonstrated that he is not to be fooled with and if the boys cherish any hopes of beating him they may expect to burn midnight oil. The boys were not long in finding out that they had made a leap in the dark in trying to combat with a man of his experience. Slavens went home feeling that Jonah had evidently tried to swallow a whale.

we have concluded not to wait until January, but to begin at once a most unmerciful slashing and cutting of prices—in a word a real money losing sale, the like of which has never been seen or heard of before.

Competitors will think we are crazy to make such ridiculous losses in the month of December (the best trading month of the year) and on the eve of the holiday business, when other merchants are scheming for profits and not losses.
