March Moving.

J. V. Lesh and family and his father departed this morning for their future home In Menominie.Wis., where the elder Lesh has farm of 120 acres and where Van expects to buy after he gets acquainted with the lay of the country. He will farm his father’s land this year and probably rent some land also. He is one of our real good know-how farmers and will be certain to succeed in his new home. The trend of our- migrating farmers this year has been to South Dakota and largely to the neighborhood of Mitchell,, and some of the best farmers In Jasper county, Inspired by a desire for more land have gone west in search of new homes and most of them seem very satisfactorily located. To Mitchell have recently gone Samuel Parker and Fritz Zard, and families, and to Burk have gone John Stewart, Wayne Gwin and Henry Hayes, and W. B. Stover , ust left yesterday for Larimore, N. Dak. He had planned to go soon after bis sale, but members of his family

took the measles and he could not get away until this time. He is reckoned one of the best farmers in Jordan townshlp.and has made things pay during his residence here and like the others is certain under anything like favorable conditions to succeed in his new home. John Carder, another good farmer from West Jordan loaded his effects in a car here Monday and went to his new home at Laurel, In Franklin county. There has been the usual amount of moving right around home, too, and a constant string of movers has been going since Monday. So far the moving weather has been very fine. The roads have not yet broken through and there is still considerable snow but it has been giving way each day under the bright suns rays. If the temperature will moderate gradually, as it HEs so far done, we may come in for a nice spring, which would lie very acceptable to the farmers, who had such a tough spring last yesr. —.
