Day C. Norman Writes From Chester, Nebraska.

Chester, Neb., March 27. The Republican, Dear Sirs: Enclosed you will And money order for another year’s subscription to The Republican. We are very thankful we were not in the cyclone district Easter Sunday. One struck a town 25 miles north of us. The wind blew very hard Saturday, March 22nd, and Sunday. March 23rd, from the south, but it changed to the northwest about 5 p. in., and was a regular hurricane Our winter and spring has been very dry and backward. No farming done yet. It has been too cold for oats sowing. Alfalfa and wheat look all right. There is a big acreage of alfalfa in this part of the country. It se||s at $lO to sl2 a ton this spring. The Republican is always we! corned as It is like getting a letter from home. Hoping this finds Jasper county prospering as usual, I remain • DAY C. NORMAN.
