Dear Editor News: , , To make good my promise to keep you posted on this part of Nebraska, I will pen a few lines to inform the readers of the News we are still in the land of the living and enjoying many blessings and mercies from the Divine Giver of all good, who has been very gra clous to us in the past. We have enjoyed splendid health since we came here. We have spent two winters here, we have been dis appointed in them, we haven't seen a blizzard nor the weather much below zero Bince we came. This winter has been exceptionally fine. It hadn't rained here for three months till this week. Two or three light snows that melted off immediately have been about all we have had to remind us of winter. The roads have beeu like a sphalt. The ice men were dis couraged. Some of them shipped ice from Wyoming to fill their ice houses; but February and "ground hog" have brought some good ice and some real winter. The panic, socalled, is about over in this part of the country, although about eight thousand men in Omaha are out of work. We are not confronted with the clearing house checks now and it seems that confidence is about restored. A little Germau woman with a shawl around her head and a bundle in her hand walked into one of the banks here about two weeks ago and placed her bundle n the cashier's window, which caused a stare from the cashier, but when she opened it and he saw it contained hard cash and noth ing else, he more than stared. It contained eleven thousand dollars, that had been carried from Oregon here and kept in the home for weeks Ijefore she gave it to the bank. Several fine farms here have changed hands this winter. Land in Eastern Nebraska is high. There is not much but what will bring one hundred dollars per acre. It rents for four and five dollars per acre, cash in advance So if a man rents one hundred and sixty acres he may expect to give the landlord six or seven hundred if dollars before he moves. A man has to have about fifteen hundred dollars to start to be a renter here. You get just about twice as much here for what you do as you will in Carolina, but the other fellow gets that too, so you come out just alout even. With the same energy and thrift the advantage would be to North Carolina. A party of six men from Hooper, Neb., went down to Yadkin Co. N. C, a few weeks ago and in vested in a aoid mine; that they claim is very rich. They are putt ing in a stamp mill. One man from this town is interested in it. Well, I must close this letter. We are always glad to get the News. We read everything in it, even the advertisements. We are glad to se the Old North State coming to the front as a prohibi tion state. Every Christian ought to be a temperance crank and keep winding up the trafic. Prohibi tion does prohibit and don't you forget it. J. A. Downs. Springfield, Neb., Feb. 13, '08.
