Dr. Sparling Visits Old Friends.

Dr. S. E. Sparling, formerly of this county, but now the owner of a large plantation near Demopolis, Ala., arrived in Rensselaer Sunday afternoon and left Monday evening for Chicago. The doctor reports that they are having a backward spring.. That he will finish painting oats this week. That the alfalfa is just about ready to cut. He has a small acreage of wheat which is about knee high. He is on his way to Wisconsin, where he will try to buy a herd of dairy cows and take them south. The doctor and wife are enjoying 'the best of health and as most northerners who go into that Garden of Eden, are prospering materially.
