The following letter whs received by C. T. Otis, He Roselawn ranch owner, recently from W. C. Covert, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Chicago: My Dear Mr. Otis: I am overwhelmed at the place gi’Zen on the first page of The Rensselaer Republican and the Newton County Enterprise 'to my-^-remarks about the turkey. I .hope the subscription lists have not been impaired nor the reputation of—the papers spoiled. J thank you for all you have done for us during the past year; for ths constant remembrance of your whole family in..kind words and honey and other edible things from Roselawn. I dare say that your father before you was always kind to the minister and saw that he had hay in his loft and spareribs and potatoes in the cellar. Thank God for heredity! May ■ye hive more of this kind.
