What boots it to the Land Office to have a front door when it can't shoe its land plats to parties except in a round about way? That bright little sprite Nellie Thompson handed us a boquetof Li lacs yesterday. She is so bright herself that flowers can't help blossoming a round where she is. W. W. Whitney, the Toledo music publisher, sends us anew Temperance Song entitled "Nowhere to go." The music is by Jas. 6. Clark, the famous composer of popular songs. Our friend Moulton wonders what the United Statesof America have com mitted that the front door of their of fice in Worthiugton should be closed up. We forgot last week to acknowledge a plate full of the prairie crocus from Miss Ida Lackor. They had their fur overcoats on and rather enjoyed the cool weather. Our friend Stockdale has some five cow-bells left from his hardware stock which he would like to sell to parties to fight grasshoppers with. Ought to sell one to the Journal 'cause they're most out of bells. The Journal now spells it A. P. (E.) We have received several obscene let ters through the postoffice addressed in that way, and we knew that if we kept still and waited we should find out who did it. Ida Lackor and Nellie Dean have our thanks for some prairie violets, pansies, cowslips, or whatever they are. Gra cious! but won't the other boys be mad? There is a rumor that the Bells have only retired from the Journal ostensi bly, and that they have employed Gru elle to act as wet-nurse to bring the rickety baby through. Mother Gruelle will lavish a good deal of gruel and soothing syrup on the poor child. A. Sargent, and Fred Humiston, from this county, were out last week plant ing trees along the railroad. They be gan at Worthington and planted as far as St. James along the cuts, under di rection of C. McMillan. The trees planted were pines and evergreens. We had just got the Bells out of the Journal office and thought we bad the concern figured down to a bowl of gru el, when up turns the Crandals as a-their mong the proprietors. The Journal will have to shin it down lively to sup port four families and a boy. ARRIVALS. John "Jackson and Albelt^Jackson, from Cherokee, Iowa, havearrived with a view to locating in this county. Milton Fellows, who came in a few mouths ago, and purchased land in In dian Lake and Elk, has arrived- and taken up his residence on his Elk farm, formerly owned by Nels Johnson. Mr. Fellows' daughter is with him and has secured a school in the district where they live. His sons are on the way coming through from Missouri by team. Mr. F. put out a.crop when he was here in the Spring. He thinks that a num ber of his Missouri neighbors will also come to this county to locate. Rev. Frank Peterson, of Indian Lake, under whose ministrations the first church building in the county outside of Worthington was erected and the Baptist Society of Indian Lake formed, arrived a few days ago from Chicago where he has been attending the Theo logical Seminary. The reception given Mr. Peterson at the depot shows the high regard of the Indian Lake Society for their former pastor. N. W. Doane, brother to Mr. Doane, of Elk, is again on a visit to the Colo ny. Mr. Doane reports a very back ward Spring in Illinois. He has sold out in Illinois and will locate in the Northwest. This step is deliberate and has been taken after looking over Kan sas and the Southwest. We agree with Mr. D. that there is no climate quite as good as our own clear, pure, vitaliz ing climate. Nelson Jordon and Randolph Mor ton, from Maine, have arrived in the Colony and are looking for lands. Mr. Jordon proposes taking a whole section and will come on at once and improve the land. Mr. J. is well pleased with Southwestern Minnesota and selects this location after having gone over the Northern Pacific and also visited Manitoba. He says that if any one should go from here to New England and state the naked facts, without any exaggeration, and could get the people to believe it, the New England States would be depopulated and emptied in to this beautiful country. A FLOP. For several weeks the Journal oppos ed, to the best of its cfe-bility the pay ment of the State railroad bonds. But last week, lo and behold! it turns a back summerset and comes down flop in favor of paying the bonds. The con clusion is that it has been bought. If we were abetting man, (and of course we are not,) we would lay a wager of two or three Journal offices, that it was bought up. This is a ridiculous waste of money. Its position either way would have no influence with the people, and we want to say to the gen tlemen who bought it that they have wasted their money. GOVTS TO THE SISSETON AGENCY. Chas. Newton and family left ou Monday night last-for the Sisseton A gency where Mr. Newton is to take charge of the Manual Labor Depart- We shall miss him.and his fam- ily from Worthington, but we believe that for the next year a position at the Agency is better than fighting grass hoppers here. The good wishes of a host of friends go with them. Worthington is now represented at the Agency by the following persons: Mr. Newton and wife Mrs. Bagley Miss Meda Lewis and Miss Arrie Grant. N. V. McDowell has 54 head of sheep on his place. His lambs this Spring will number from 20 to 25. About 13 months ago he bought a ewe for $3.70. Last year she had one ewe lamb. Tin's year mother and lamb botli have ewe lambs. The account stands, then, ewe and one fleece and lamb last year two lambs and two fleeces this year total value $15. Mr. lftcD. tells a good joke on one of his wethers. Last year he took a six pound fleece from him. He noticed that this sheep manifested a great love for lambs and was always trying to get them away from their mothers. This year the wether gave birth to a lamb anefnow seems"to be as happy as a clam. We have been informed several times that grandmother Gruelle, of the Jour nal, is about to whip us, that is to give us a "personal castigation." This may be a mere slander gotten up by the boys to get Gruelle and ourself into a fight. But if ever Gruelle does come in toen" whip us we'll bend him over the press, John Phoenix-wise, and take an im-read pression of the ADVANCE on his shirt. We'll then send him put of the office flying and stand in the door to see the little boys running after him trying to read the ADVANCE on his shirt "nar rative." We are assured that E,. G. Crand.il, in a recent affidavit made for the pur pose of getting his stock released from an attachment, swore that the stock was worth $2,000 and that his sales have averaged about $30 a day. If this is the case, there ought to be noJim difficulty about paying the Hollis notes with the aid of the money realized up on the sale of a brother Methodist's furniture. Geo. P. Howell & Co's American Newspaper Directory for 1877 is receiv ed. It contains "accurate lists of all the newspapers and periodicals publish ed in theUnited States, Territories, the Dominion of Canada and Newfound land together with a description of the towns and cities in which they are published." This is the Ninth Edition of this popular work. It shows a de crease during the past year of 171 publi cations iu the United States. The Southern Minnesota Stock Breed ers Association have decided to hold first annua] exhibition the first week in July, at Owatonna, at which time $2,500 will be offered in premi ums. PRAIRIE BURNING. W WOBTHINGTONs M«p£Bj40?^: All 061*3008 living in the extremes (Northwest, West and Southwest,) of the county, and not in easy communica tion with this office, can after this date burn off the grass surrounding them when in their judgment the best results of such burning may beattained as con templated by the law. It is desired however that all grass mat/ be kept on through the season where it is not ac tually necessary to burn. R. B. PLOWS, Supt. DECORATION DAY. Wednesday next will be Decoration Day. The members of Stoddard Post, G. A. B., will meet at two o'clock at Masonic Hall, provided with^owers, and proceed to the Cemetary to deco rate the soldiers'graves. Citizens are cordially invited to participate. There is a little man in the East named Daniel Pratt who imagines that he is the greatest and most terrible man in the world. He travels from place to place proclaiming his greatness and awing the unsophisticated. Where ever he goes the people humor him in his whim, the newspapers announce his arrival and departure with a great flourish of trumpets and mothers point him out to their children as a shining example and laugh at the funny little man. The nauseating fumes that have gone up for months from the seething mass of putrifaction in which the ADVANCE moves and has its being indicates more plainly than words can express the rot tenness that prevails in our midst.— Journal. That's what we always said, that the rottenness prevailed iu your midst, and the ADVANCE had to speak out against it. But goodness gracious! sakes alive! how can we get even iu epithets. Let's see: The nose-eating manner in which this old hypothenuse thrusts his right-angled triangle into the parallelo gram of the community, indicates more plainly than words can express theTHOSE Four Line Pica Gothic meanness which prevails in his Great Primer Runic midst. Devil Rohrer shall get m?/ ten dollars! Devil Rohrer had gut his ten dollars! —Last Week's Journal. After all that he has done for the Journal, it looks cruel to be calling him such names. But the Journal ought to know his character and if it don't now it will after a while. They do say he swore like a pirate when Prof. Hum iston and Emory Clarke beat him at his own game and proved to him that if, in law, it is "ten o'clock until it is eleven," why, then, of course, it is two o'clock until it is three. They do say that he swore "prodigious" when Re corder Day made affidavit as to the facts of getting the Crandal chattel mortgage on and off tile, where he found himself beaten by his own act through his ignorance of the statutes of Minne sota in "such case made and provided." But we turn him over to the tender mercies of the Presbyterian Church whose office it is to save hardened sin ners, and we would suggest that the Church overhaul the editor of the Jour nal for calling this roaring lamb of the flock such dreadful names. The ADVANCE had better revamp some of its "dreadful nice" puns of Ust Summer, which were stolen from John Phoenix.—Journal. But we always gave Phoenix credit when we quoted from him. When Gruelle comes in to whip us, if we don't take an impression of the ADVANCE on the "narrative" of his shirt, it will be because we are an unworthy successor of Phoenix. To see Gruelle streaking it down street, with the tail of his "lin flapping in the wind, and the lit tle boys running after him trying to the ADVANCE on it, will be a sight to make everybody shed their tears and vest buttons. If the Reporter's statements are cor rect, our position on the bond question is wrong.—Journal. "O, wheel about and turn about and do Just so, And every time he turns about he jumps Jim Crow!" The belt of the champion clog-danc er and summer-saulter is transferred to the Journal editor. Hereafter Gruelle will be knowu as the champion flopper of summersets and shinner down of Crow dances. Wonder how much he is paid for the first flop and each ad ditional flop? A poor editor can't af ford to make such a sudden flop and turn about and wheel about for noth ing. We notice by the books in the Treas urer's office that last year E.G. Cran dal swore that his stock of goods and merchandize was worth only $250, for purposes of taxation. This coupled with the fact that he has invested in the Journal office, indicates that he is going out of the boot and shoe busi ness. We are informed that E. G. Crandal invested $300 in the Journal office. We would like to inquire whether the Oka bena House furniture netted this a mou nt, and, if so, why the money was not applied to paying the Hollis notes? For ways that are dark and for tricks that are vain, the Journal Chinee is pe culiar. SPECIAL NOllCE. ^"TJy^MVertiiehlimiillittother column of the ADVANCE it will beobserved that the National Colony Officeat Chicago iu charge of Allen Gibson, Agent, is now located at No. 100 Lake Street.

Rohrer referring to the item in our last issue, but dodging the point.

We are again in formed by two reliable gentlemen that ou Saturday last Judge Dickinson a gain stated in their presence that no such order had been issued.
