Mrs. A. A. Stevens has just received
a stock of millinery goods for fall and
winter. Her ioms have been recently
ly reacted and enlarged and the ladies
are invited to fall examine.
We are uniler obligations to. our
friend of the Rock County Herald for
about the most appreciative and dis
ci iminating notice the ADVANCE has
had.
Mr. Hewitt, is getting up anewsheet
irou stack for the Okabena Mills. It
is oS feet long and 30 inches thick, and
looks very mil ?h like a sheet iron saw
log.
Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Davis celebrated
the Tenth Anniversary of their wed
ding on Wednesday evening last. Theie
was a merry company present and a
prolusion of tin ware. Supper was
eaten from tin dishes. We wish
them "many happy returns of the
oc-bringing
casion."
Mr. Harrington lias painted a hand
some new sign for the ADVANCE which
is now in place across the frontispiece
of our office. People who wish to see
it to advantage, will get the best view
by taking a position in the centre of
the park, turning their backs to the
lake and then looking forward and
slightly upward.
REMOVAL.
The ADVANCE oulce has* been re
moved to the Beers Building (the small
Beers Buil ling.) on Tenth Street, where
it will be found for the winter in very
snug quarters. We have plenty of
room to receive subscriptions, and will
take almost anything in payment except
grasshoppers. Cord wood, hay, butter,
wheat, pumpkins, and, after the man
ner of the California editor, even snake
root, elecampane, ginseng, slippery elm
bark, and, in fact, almost anything
that grows, Will be received in these
times.
PERSONALS.
Rev. B. II. Crever and Rev. Wm. M.
Bear are absent at 8t. Paul, attending
Methodist Conference.
Rev. Mr. Chaney, of Mankato, has
been spending a few days in the Colo
ny, visiting his brother.
M. B. Soule and B. N. Carrier were
at Ilersey on Wednesday attending a
civil suit.
'apr.'iiu Blakeley, of St. Paul, got off
the train on Saturday last and remain
ed over Sunday. He is one of the Di
rectors of the St. Paul and Sioux City
road and is an extensive mail route con
tractor. He has unlimited confidence
in tiie future of the Northwest, to
which Minnesota is the New York.
lion. Wm. Seegar spent last Sunday
in Worthington. He was returning
from a visit to the newly-arrived Men
onites in Nebraska. He found them in
charge of railroad land agents, who
had them quartered in barracks prepar
ed for the purpose, and were giving
them such attention as will doubtless
secure their settlement there. This
kind of enterprise by our Minnesota
roads, and our State, is just what is
needed.
Our Democratic friend, Judge Waite,
came up to Worthington on Saturday
last to look up the faithful. There was
a sensation among the Ave or six Dem
crats who expect to vote for him, andwith
they gathered at the hotel to shake the
honest and careful hand which refused
to vote for Lincoln in 1864. On Sunday,
the Judge went to LuVerne to head ofi£
Dunnell in that direction, but Dunnell
has some weeks the start and it is now
pretty generally conceeded that the
Judge will have to Waite awhile long
er for Congressional honors.
1
THE CHANGE.
Our friends have now had time to ex
press their views as to the change in
the outside of the ADVANCE. A few
prefer the old heading, but most of our
readers, so far us we can hear, prefer
the new one. As to the matter of the
outside, W3 believe the opinion is uni
versal and decided that we have greatly
increased the interest and value of the
paper by the change.
A good idea of what we are giving
our readers may be had by summing up
what our last iss je contained. On the
outside there were twelve columns of
late and fresh matter. Three columns,
or nearly 100 different items, were
made up of the latest general news.—
One column, or between 25 and 30 items,
consisted of late State news. A col
umn and a half was devoted to ac
counts, with the resolutions, of the 2d
and 3d District Republican conventions.
Another column and ft half was devo
ted to a general account of the State
Fair. Two-thirds of a column gave an
abstract of Moulton's statement.—
Over a column was devoted to a de
scription of the late insurrection in
Louisiana. About half a coh»mn was
devoted to miscellaneous matter and to
the Chicago and Milwaukee markets.—
And, finally, about three columns were
devoted to the Address by Prof. Hum
iston at the State Fair, which abounds
in valuable suggestions Si
of this matter were carefully written
by an editor and the rest was carefully
elited. The actual editorial work on
the outside, would require nearly two
days for its performance. On our in
side we gave about six columns of gen
eral and local editorial and over a col
umn of correspondence.
The paper contained, besides the ad
vertisements, about 82,nnnems of com
position, which at the lowest rate paid
fortius work would cost about $23,00,
and would keep a good compositor busy
for about thirteen days.
How such a paper can be published
in a county which has been Settled but
three years and was visited by the
grasshoppers during two of these years,
is one of the mysteries which the prin
ter's art and the co-operative plan must
reveal.
REGGIXO.
We publish, among our correspond
ence, an interesting letter from Hersey.
As we havo frequently staled the crops
in that township, and in Seward and
iu Graham Lakes, were worse cut than
in any part of the county. As our cor
respondent says, there will be a number
of persons who must have aid to see
them through the winter. Those who
can get away are going, and will find
work for the winter elsewhere. A
number of families are leaving to spend
the winter with friends. But all have
great faith in the future of this region
and expect to return.
Our correspondent mentions the fact
that some one, from Hersey township,
has been to St. Paul begging, and has
secured quite a sum of money and a
good supply of other articles. We
iudge from the tenor of the statement
that this was done on private account
entirely. Of course, if people will go
abroad and beg there is no way of pre
venting them, but these persons are
reproach upon the whole re
gion and giving us the reputation of
"chronic mendicants." We heard a
few days ago that one man, from Gra
ham Lakes township, had recently been
through Wisconsin and Michigan beg
ging. This is his second begging tour,
and no doubt he is realizing a handsome
sum. We wish to warn the public
against all beggars from this region
who profess to have letters from re
sponsible parties in this county. The
papers are generally forged, and when
it is known that there is an organized
method of obtaining and distributing
supplies, people ought to refuse those
who are begging on private account.
THE COUNTY SURVEYOR.
We stated in a recent issue, that the
County Surveyor, Mr. B. W. Wooistcn
croft, had gone to Dakota several
months since to do some surveying arid
had not been heard from since leaving.
The mystery of his disappearance and
silence remains unsolved and the anxi
ety of his family is intense. The prevail
ing impression is that he was decoyed
to Dakota and murdeied by a horse
thief whom ho arrested a few years ago.
Steps should be taken at once to clear
up, if possible, the mystery of his dis
appearance.
MELGXS.
We are indebted to Aaron Lambert
for a plump water melon.
Rev. S. M. Smith will accept the
thanks of our office for a fine water
melon and a luscious Casaba musk
melon.
Returns are still coming in. Mr.
Twichell will accept a vote of thanks
from some half dozen persons who
as-riage
sisted in eating a water melon which
was about 18 inches in length. Melons
received all the week, Sundays excep
ted.
A correspondent from Heron Lake
says that two men from Seward town
ship, in this county, have been detec
ted in stealing lumber from a yard at
Heron Lake. The parties weie traced
to their homes and a plow was also
found which had been stolen. As they
were not immediately arrested, they
gave the officers the slip. Who arechurches
they?
There was an assault and battery case
before Justice Bennett yesterday. Jo
seph Loveless was arrested, charged
having made an asspult upon
Charley Stough. The jury disagreed,
and the case will have a rehearing.
The School Board, we learn, have
made a selection of teachers for the
winter, as follows. Miss Barbara ('os
ier, of Ohio, Principal, ana Mr. Geo.us
Plumb and Miss Stanton, assistants.—
It is hoped that school will begin by
one week from next Monday. Rooms
have been rented in Methodist Block.

COBBESPONDENCE.
FROM HERSEY.
HERSEY, Sep. 24,1874.
E D. ADVANCE: Hersey has been
jogging along very quietly the past
month. There has been nothing of in
terest to relate or I would have written
you. We have had no deaths ntfr "mi
nor arrivals" and tltefe has not been
one bushel of farm' produce brought to
this market, which looks very mum as
though my report in July that our
crops would be a total failure was cor
rect, although it has been* many times
contradicted. Some have reported a
half crop. On what basis they placed
their estimate is more than I know. If
they consider from four to six bushels
of wheat and 10 to 15 bushels of corn
per acre a crop they may be correct.—
The wheat is all harvested and from
what threshing has been done, I con
clude that this town will yield from two
to three bushels to the acre, which will
not begin to pay for harvesting' and
threshing. Many peices have been
threshed that did not yield the seed.—
I harvested four acres of corn and
brought it all home in one hand, find
ing only one ear of corn that had set
in the whole piece. The noppers had
stripped all of the leaves and silks.
The weather the past two weeks has
been very unfavorable for all kinds of
business, especially for what most of
the farmers are doing, threshing and
making hay. Good hay will be a scarce
article before next Spring. Winter
will find a large amount of land not
ploughed in consequence of this bad
weather.
The people are practicing the most
rigid economy, burning hay for fuel
and living on potatoes, and what few
vegetables the hoppers left, such as
squashes and pumpkins. Meat is out
of the bill of fare, except for those who
can use the gun and shoot chickens and
ducks. In this way a large majority
of our people will be able to live
through the Winter and are bearing
their trials much more cheerfully than
could be expected, nearly ruining their
horse teams trying to prepare their
land for a crop next year without the
neccessary grain to feed them. But
there are some families who will be
compelled to ask aid from friends or
the generous public to prevent starva
tion and extreme suffering from the
Wintry blast.
There has been one successful busi
ness transaction near Ilersey. An in
dividual obtained documents and rec-yet.
omendations from county officials, went
to St. Paul and appealed to the gener
ous-hearted citizens for aid, which re
sulted in the shipment to Hersey by ex
press of over $200 in cash, one i!6wone
$100 sewing machine, one wash
ing machine and wringer, and I
should judge merchandise to the
amount of two or three hundred dol
lars. If that plan should be generally
adopted I think the merchants and met
ropolitan hotels would be* crowded
with guests, and that the really needy
in the grasshopper district would suf
fer in consequence, for although the
citizens of St. Paul and the wealthy
portions' of Minnesota are a very
generous hearted class of people there
must be some limit to their pile, as well
as disposition to give.
Nevertheless, we all think there is a
glorious future for Nobles county, and
we are determined to turn over the
last sod to sustain ourselves until the
golden harvest appears, which we think
will be the coming year, taking intd
consideration that we have had our cus
tomary two years scourge and that the
hoppers did not deposit their eggs with
us nor leave any signs which would lead
us to believe that they intend to visit
us again. MORE ANON.
FROM IOWA.
Third Letter—Ride About Corning.
CORNING, Iowa, Sept. 16,1874.
EDITOR ADVANCE: We have been
having along rain, cold and cheerless,
a regular equinoxial, shutting us in
doors, giving us a sense of the comfort
of shelter and a little fire, and allowing
us uninterrupted opportunity for un
constrained social gossip. But now the
pure north wind has come, driving
away rain and cloud and mist, and we
look out, not on the boundless expanse,
but on me side to bare hills that rise
slowly to the horizon, on the other, to
the thick groves that come so close as
to shut us iu like a green wall, all bath
ed in bright sunshine. The air is clear,
bracing and life renewing. All is ac
tivity out of doors, and we are impelled
to go forth with the busy throng* We
drive out and around, the spirited hor
ses feel the exhileration ot the renewed
atmosphere, the freedom from the con
fines of the stable, and manifest
a pride in the skillful handling
of the strong reins, and go tip-toe
ing and dancing along, as if the car
were only a toy, vain and empty,
till we are fairly out on the highway,
when they prick up their ears, lift their
heads and settle into a square, lively
trot. First away we go northward for
a mile to get a magnificent view of a
rolling prairie. Compared with our
prairie, this is like the ocean in a storm,
its waves rising to heaven and the deeps
between fearful to look in ours like
the heavy swelling of the sea after the
storm is spent. From this point all we
see of Corning is the steeples of the
rising from among the trees
that skirt the village on that side.—
Then to the west we cross the railroad
and the river and over a fine road for a
mile or two to the French Colony—
which will be the theme of another let
ter—thence around southward to an em
inence several hundred feet above the
bed of the river, from which southward
is clean prairie to the horizon. But
northward, and apparently just below
Corning, and we wonder how a fair
village ever happened to flutter down
on so broken a place, the wildest, hill
iest spot in all the region or by what
commotion the earth, just here, for the
space of a mile or two, in a vast prairie
region, became so tumbled up. Thfo is
the finest view of the town. The bu
siness part and most compact portion
is spread on a greatly inclined plain.—
The churches, some seven of them lift
ing their spires and belfries among the
beautiful trees, a fine brick school
house worth $18,000, occupies a fine
site on an elevated knoll, and from
the groves, that seem by "some sweet
bounty made" for their special comfort
and protection, peer out elegant and
costly residences while through the
valley the little Nodaway River, with
great fuss and noise now that the re
cent rains have given it some propor
tions, rushes under bridges, roars and
groans as it presses its swollen form
through culverts, shoot hither and
thither, right and left, between steep
banks, down among the trees that bend
their graceful forms to recognize the
force of its sway, catches to its' bosom
the long green sprigs tearing them from
the parent bottghs- and bearing them
ruthlessly onward, seeming to say as
many an earthly potentate has said in
his heart, that it had at last reached the
coveted point iu its ambition and hence
forth it should enjoy undiminished ex
altation. But alas! it, and shall we sny
all earthly grandeur, after its little day
of rushing, bustling, roaring, fretting
and boasting, must subside and be glad
to hide beneath the shadow of eternal
hills and ever vernal trees. But this
epistle is all too long. My next will be
an account of (i curious French colony
near here. C.
The proceediiigs' of the County Com
missioners' meetings are published reg
ularly in most of the surrounding
counties. Why is it not done in Nobles
county?
There was a beautiful mirage on last
Wednesday morning. This is the sea
son for this beautiful phenomenon and
people who wish to see it to the best
advantage must be up by sunrise.
The season for prairie fires is nearly
here. Remember the reward offered
for the detection of persons who il
legally set fire to the grass.
By the number of freight trains now
running over the road, we should stiy
that our railroad was doing a good
freight business.
FROM THE ROCK COUNTY HERALD.
This county is good for some people
One claim was sold the other day
for $900 and another for $800, chiefly
cash.
There was a minor arrival at T.
P. Grout's last Tuesday evening. The
party was small but select. Twenty
years from last Tuesday night there
will be another voter.
The Western Advance is no more.—
In its stead comes the Worthington Ad
vance with a new, plain and attractive
head. With its issue of September 12th
the Advance enters upon its third vol
ume with an improved management,
and a career open before it both envia
ble and useful. We have always re
garded the Advance as a model in its
mechanical department its editorial de
partment is first class, and we sincerely
hope it will be a great success financial

LITERARY NOTICES.
Scribner's Montiilj, for October, opens with
another munificently illustiated "Gie.it South"
paper, by Edwaul King, entitled "Down the
Mississippi—the Labor Question—Aikansas.'"
It contains much pictuieMiue description, and
practical information. W. C. Wilkinson contrib
utes an essay on George Eliot, which gi\es her
finer genius than Shakespeare's. There arc a
number of continued and other stoiies, and an
other of B. i\ Taylor's Farm Life poems. Dr.
Holland, in the editorial department, dividers
the Beecher scandal in an article which we hope
to publish next week. It is just about what
ought to be said to Christians and to clergymen
especially. This magazine is now for sale by
Moore & Smith.
We are indebted to Moore & Smith for a copy
of the October Atlantic Among the contribu
tors we notice the names of Tiowbiidge, Miss
Phelps, James Freeman Claik, J. J. Piatt, Har
riett Prescott Spofford, Biet Harte and W. D.
Howells. Among the articles we notice one on
whether or not the animals have souls and an
other oii the fine German novelibt Auerluch.
The October Aldine is also at hand. There
are four full-page pictures entitled Desdeino
na," "The Rapids of the Au Sable," "Spring,"
and "October Days." There are a number of
illustrations of "Castle Wart burg" and "St.
Paul's Cathedral." There are a number of in
teresting articles also. Published by the Aldine
Company, 58 Maiden Lane, N. Y.
Demorest's Monthly, for October, contains the
new styles for the Fall, and considerable litera
ture, music, poetry, fashions, household matters,
etc. Three dollars a year, with a chromo pre
mium woith$15. Published at 17 East lull St.,

The Little Corporal holds its own against all
rivals. It is still the pi ince of the publications
for the intermediate juveniles, and fills up the
field between St. Nicholas and The Nursery.—
John E. Miller, Chicago. $1 60 a year.
The Nursery^ for October, is received, and
abounds in pictures, stoiies, poems, games, puz
zles, etc., for little boys and girls. John L. Sho
rey, 36 Bromfleld St., Boston.
St. Nicholas, for October, opens with a blight
story by Mrs. R. H. Davis, which is followed by a
splendidly illustrated article on Egypt by Mrs.
Hunt. Miss Alcott has a story, and Mrs Abby
M. Diaz tells something more about those funny
little "Jimmyjohns." Theie is an interesting
article on Ice in India and one on Light Houses,
