two week, a lare force of men and teams left here last sunday for Missouri to commence work there, the train that past through town was a mile long. It was really a sight to see. While they were here, it made a market for evey thing a good prices. If you should come home this fall you can Bill yourself for Blakesburg, via Ottumwa. I have been engaged in makeing a big Pond right south of the orchard, I have had six teams plowing and scraping, it is now ten feet deep, pipes all laid it will make a grand watering place
