It was in his re­ markable speech at Des Moines, Iowa, in 1875, when he said: "If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict jthat ti e di­ viding line will not be Mason'and Dix on's, but between patriotism and intelli* gence the one side, and superstition, am­ bition, and ignorance on the other." If Grant were still among us to watch the events in our country, he would have no cause to revise his prophetic utterance, although he might expand and intensify I take this way of catling atteqjton to the l«ct that I still have 100 acres of the Jed Gould farm, 2)tf miles north of Wauconda and 5 miles west or Rockefeller, for sale or rent, Trade is starting out on a career destined to even outtival any season of our entire experience.

We learn of the death of George S; Dtter, which occurred at his home in Raveuswood, a Chicago suburb, on the 31st. of March. The final cause of his death was, we understand, heart failure superinduced by pneumonia. He was about 62 years of age and was well known by many in this county, being it one time editor and publisher of the Richmond Gazette. George Utter was a pleasant, social man, large hearted and kind, liberal with his^family and generous to a fault. He leaves a wife and seven grown up daugh­ ters to mourn his death.

The Bight Han in the Bight Place. The Wheaton lllinoian, in a review of things political says: "It will also be necessary to elect a congressman this fall from this district. There is not the least opposition to • Congressman Hopkins, who has so well and so ably represented this district for thirteen yaers. He tabes rank among the leading men of the country, and in Washington, as in his own district, he ie regarded as one of the brightest and ablest men in public life. His growth has been rapid and his offi­ cial rocord iB singularly cl an.
