Writing us from his new home near Te-rril, lowa, W. O. Florence, formerly of near Rensselaer, says: “I like this country well; it is a rolling prairie, heavy black soil two to five feet deep, with clay subsoil. Crops are fair, corn about knee high; hay fine, oats fair and just heading; barley good, pasture fine. We have had just enough rain here; was cool iu spring but all right now. Corn grows only about seven to eight feet high here generally.”

Goodland Herald: Mr. Gilman has not voluntarily returned to Goodland yet, notwithstanding the predictions of some people to that effect, and it is very much feared that he will not.

Two or three Pinkerton detectives have visited the town, but if they secured information in this direction left no hint with the public, nor did they explain who was instigating the search. However, outside of dime novels, these gentlemen are noted for keeping their own council.

W. J. Reed, the Knox attorney, and William Collins of Rensselaer, a practical dredge man, are building a dredge on Yellow river two miles west of Knox. They have contracted with Henry C. Rogers, construction commissioner of the Yellow river ditch, to clean it out from that point west to the Jackson township line for $3,000. As is generally known the ditch for some two miles has filled up, entirely full in many places, and for that reason is useless or worse at present. Reed & Collins are also ou a deal having for its object the grading of three-quarters of a mile of road on the line between Center and Jackson townships, and another to clean out the Laramore ditch, but neither of them are closed yet. Their dredge is a comparatively small one, having a three-quarter yard dipper. They are building a new toat or hall for it.—Stark County Democrat.
