The Walkerton Independent reads the riot act to certain citizens of Lin, cola township who are active in their opposition to voting aid for the Three . I railroad. There are such people in ' every community. They are not sufficiently far sighted to see that the rail- i toad will be of more benefit to Walker- i ron and the surrounding country than I the town can be to the railroad and j that every dollar invested in such an enterprise will be returned many fold in increased values, taxes and general benefits.—South Bend Sunday News.

The fields varied in area from one to 35 acres, and the crops were treated substantially according to prevalent practice in tlie state. Labor was uniformly charged at the rate of $3 por day for man and team. Taxes and interest were not reckoned among the expenses. Laud was valued at $25 per acre. The selling price of rye and wheat was 50 cents per bushel, of oats and corn 30 cents per bushel, and of hay $3 per ton. —Riverton, Nebraska, Review. AN EXPIANATION. Mr. Editor: We notice in the last week’s issue of the INDEPENDENT an article in the Lal’az items under the fictitious name of Vindresser in regard to a certain class of people here who claim to be no sect using the church house here and that they have never paid anything for the erection of the same. Now' as this is false and intentional we desire the many readers of your paper to know the truth of the matter and we know of no better way to get it before the people than to give a true copy from a letter we have in our possession written by one of the present trustees of said house when a petition was presented to them by the people of the town and vicinity: ‘■l as one of the trustees of the Wesleyan Methodist church, of Lal’az, lud., have examined the above petition and regard the petition as just and reasonable. I take it that the only church or body of people who profess

IV V 4 4 * i. Christianity that have been excluded ■ t is the body of people calling them ‘BH'vvs tne Church of God and who have been vulgarly called “Comeouters.” His my opinion that they should be admitted and I hereby give mv consent upon the following grounds: First. It was promised by all persons who took subscript ion that the building should be a union church and free for all Evangelical denomi- ; nations of people. ! 2nd. Persons who are members of ' this body of people paid large sums of i money thinking these promises would j be fulfilled. i 3rd. I believe the preaching of these people is similar to the preaching of many Weslyau Methodist ■ 1 preachers and that it is Evangelical. i 4th. 1 regard the promise made i that this should be a union chinch as a sacred pledge, and that it would be both dishonorable and dishonest to disregard it.
