TO THE FARMERS: Since the date of our last advertisement to you we have sold 1100 acres of land, and being all the land held by us in behalf of the various Loan Companies we represent, except the Shaw farm of 200 acres in Kinloss, and which we are offering very cheap and on very easy terms of payment. Several farmers have, however, placed their farms in our hands for sale, so that we hope to be able to spply th,e bulk of the demand for farms as heretofore. But as our sales exceeded 1000 acres last spring, we would request those in wort of a cheap farm to apply early, as the spring time will now soon be here. We can grant very reasonable terms of payment for all our sales and a low rate of interest, If you wish to renew or change you mort- gage, or put a new mortgage on your farm, or send money away in payment of the interest or principal of your mortgage, we can guaran- tee you satisfaction and at a very trifling :pense. We lend money on farmers' notes fer long or short time, and can supply all demands on reasonable terms, Sale notes specialty, We do a general banking business of all kinds with 1Vierchanta, ,,attle' Dealers, Shippers and Farmers. • GEO.

The sons of the soil, simple hearted, Still honor St. Patrick's day. On St. Patrick's day in the morning, The Shamrock fresh culled maybe seen, Bold hearts and fair bosoms adorning, Baptized in its native poteen. And wherever God's sun lights the people, Wherever men breathe his sweet air, Or worship 'neath palm tree or steeple, Some " Exile of Erin "is there. And though bad they may be— and lonely, He wears next the cross of his God, On his heart the dear shamrock that only Can bloom en fair Erin's green sod. • The shamrock of Erin we honor.? • And love just as dear as our life ; No tyrant will stamp it out ever, With battle axe, sword, or the knife; Our noble green emblem we cherish, Can e'er with our shamrock depart, Our native soil stili shall it nourish Ever green, to an Irishman's heart, England can boast of its sweet scented rose, And Scotland vyith its thistle agree; Green leek of Wales, with pungent o'erflowa, But the meek little shamrock for me. The leaf of the maple for ever, That Mats o'er the land of the free; From dear little shamrock can't sever, We will wear it, St. Patrick's day. Wonder through earth's great commotion, • O'er land or the turbulent sea ; You'll find an Irishman's devotion, Wherever that "Exile "may be: His heart in his country of sorrow, • Although absenthis body afar, E'en dreaming bright dawn of the morrow Shall shiue on that emerald' star./ E're long the dawn will yet brighten, Lasting peace, with prosperity smile, That burden of turmoil will lighten Sad hearts, of our Emerald Iele Dear land of our sires we reverence, Though our heads are now turned gray, We'll pray from all bigot deliverence, , Our shamrock—St. Patrick's day, _ G The above was to. late for last week's issue. • DI.TNGANNON. • Mr. Lockard of Flint,Mich., is visit- • ing relatives, and friends here.

A. Webster Esq And Cap. A. F. Holmes. Canadian Emigration Agents. Aberdeen, S. D. GENTLEMEN;—Having heard a great deal in regard , to the North-West rePresented by you and having lived for the past nine years in Faulk county S. Dakota, I decided to go to that country and investigate it with a view to settle there if ,suited and to give the benefit of my investigations to my neighbors who with me have lost their labor in trying to raise crops in this 'state. The following is the result, which can be relied on, and it is true in every particular. I left Aberdeen on the morning of the 10th of September, arriving in Winnipeg on the 11th ndiere I stayed over a few hours • to see that magnifi- eient city of 25,000 people, and arrived at Yorktown, the present terminus of • the Man. aud Northvvesthrn R. R. on Saturday night. At this point I got a team, and drove out to the Dakota Colony a distanee of 40 miles' through a first class country for mixed farming, and got there on Sunday evening. • Here 1 found a settlement of son] 200 people all from the vicinity 9 Aberdeen; they_left there gen the 24t of April last and are now settled i vieinity of "Sheho Lake" having each more or less acres in crop or sod broke this spring, with a good prospect • o 40 to 60 of oats to the acre, 300 t� 400 bushels ot potatoes and turnips vvhicli wili go thirty tons to the acre. I found the settlers all prosperous • every one having a good log house and out buildings plenty of hay, which runs on the prairie one and a half, to two tons per acre and in. the natural meadows three to four tons and ail gdt from, their own lands or immed- iate vicinity: I spent four days in the settlement and looked over the ,eight townships set apart for the South Dakota colony. And without exageration' must say the best tract of landfor mixed farming, I have ever seen since left the State of New York. Every quarter • contains from ten to twenty five acres of young timber, from five, to i,fifteen acres of natural hay meadow, first class water in abun- dance either from • lakes or spring creeks or :by digging from 10 to 30 feet and the soil is rich beyond belief having a average depth of • 14 to 20 inches of rich black loatu on a clay subsoil. . I brought some potatoes 'with me which were -planted by chopping a hole in the sod in the last week a, May, and which will weigh over two pounds each. I saw the finest vegetables I ever saw in my life. Corn, tomatoes, tur- nips, celery, peas, cabbage, and in fact all kinds of garden stuff are simply wonderfnl. They nitaat be seen to be properly ,appreciated. Cattle bring big prices as compared to what they fetch here. I saw three year old steers and heifers which sold at four arid a half cents 'per pound on the hoof, and weighed from twelve to fifteen hundred pounds each. Good cows are worth forty to fifty dollars each, and hogs are svorth six to seven cents a lb. Horses weighing thirteen to fourteen hundred pounds each are worth two hundred aod fifty dollars if sound and not 3ver 8,years. A In conclusion, having been delegated • by my neighbors to see the Canadian North-west, and report things as I saw them, I shall close this by saying, f- have no intention of booming the country. I do not intend to convey • the impressir,--N l'at a man can go there and live on " \: 6 't without work. has the dra la at )'" -Aril to ever I .am fre(6,00Ce ' at the country ‘lern in.,;y:,:e*'.'oN y I.W.w. eount %PIT 4? .d'..et if does not get) • " _Ms .iN.- c,a1.-- .-- lit- man- e ,t ..'"'• tintift,the v there. Sani . posed 1st of JunePe " \. nesvhat a. 0 who do not) he may expect frozen., grain. But this I do state Without fear of contradiction, that a man can go to that country with a good team either oxen or horses, five or six cows and a, few head of young stock, and with good health and half the labor he is obliged to perform in. South Dakota, he can be a rich man Within the next ten years. This may seem like a big statement, but so far from exagerating, I have not told them half of what I saw. It is truly a wonderful country, and when the rai:road is completed next , year. I do not believe a section of governmeut land can be obtained within 20 miles of the road. I remain Gentlemen. Yours very truly., B. F. Horton. P. S. I should not close this with- out thanking you . for the courtsey extended to me in passing from Win- nipeg to the settlement and return and also asking you to thank Mr. Campbell, the Dominion Emigration agent on my behalf as through his kindness, I had a very pleasant trip. Aberdeen S. D. September 19th 1891. ' To Mr. W. A, Webster Immigration Agent, Aberdeen S. Dakota, Nov. 30th. 1851. DEAR Sm.—We recently returned from. the Canadian North-West where ,we spent a month in examining the agricultural resources of thut country. We found Winnipeg a splendid_ Qity, full of life and business. •From here. we went west to Prince Albert, 600 miles. This town is situated on the Saskatchewan rives rnd contains 1,100 inhabitants, Schools, Collezes, Chur- ches, Saw -Mills, in fact well eqipped in everything required to make up a good sustantial town. Steambo ats ran on the river any aniount of logs rafted clown this river and sawn hack lumber at the Prince Albert Mills, giving lots of employment, both winter and summer; luniber here is cheap. After driving over as much of this dis- tacit as tiine permitted we pronounced - it a first class country for mixed forming' and a stockman's paradise. 11enty of timber for all purposes, water, rivers. lakes and spring creeks, no limit to hay and grass. From hete we went west to Edmonton, we examined this district thoroughly. After driving' -oyer it, for severai days, and visiting a number of farmers and stockmen; we pronnunce this the best ,country we ever saw, for mixed farming and especially for stock raising. "Stock- men here are all making money. Steers selling for four cents when we can enly get from one to two cents in South Dakota. Taxes are very low,: There is yet lots of Honiestead land Where any nian over eighteen can take up a quarter section, timber, • water, coal, hay and grass without limit, good laws good" society. We know that "this is just the place for men to make homes and where indus- try will meet a certain reward. In conclusion we tell ,our friends it, • South Dakota that are not Satisfied with their success there, that if they a() to either Prince Albert or -Edmon- ton and go into either mixed farming or stcok raising we believe there is no place on this continent where success is as likely to crown their efiortsy We find a- great many very anxious to go to Northern Alberta but the great draw back seems to be the cost of getting there. We cannot close this letter without thanking you for your many kindnessess and also Mr. G. II., Camp- bell for his many courtesies while In Winnipeg. Mr, L. A. Hamilton, of the Q. P. R. Railway for passing us over his splendid road and Mr. Combs of Prince Albert for his many favors while there. JAS. HUDSON Groton S. Dakota. H. L. WOOD, ...Groton S.
