Letter from Mr. S. B. Yeoman.

Ihjsart, lowa, May 29, 1875. Messks. James & Healey: I am still located at this place, but have changed my business from serving the L., C. It. &M. Railroad Company to dealing out general hardware and furniture to all who may bo m need of such articles. Think I have as good a location as can he found in Central lo.wa, Dysart is a thriving town, two years old, and contains a population of about five hundred persons. It is .situated in as fine a farming country as can be found in the West. Climate healthy, pure water, and seasons are favorable for raising wheat, corn, oats, rye, barley, potatoes, etc. It is also well adapted to stockraising. The soil is very rich, and immense crops of the above named grains are harvested annually. I have been in the State four years, and there has been no failure in crops yet. Crops are not so uncertain here as they are in Jaspjr county, Indiana. If yon hear any one inquiring for a good country to live in, tell them of Tama county, lowa, where choice homes can be secured for from five to fifteen dollars per acre, according to location. Wishing you all the success imaginable, I am very truly yours.

S. B. YEOMAN.
