before. Our corn crop is poor this year. We have had some frost but not enough to entirely kill the potato vines. We depend almost entirely for late potatoes on the fall growth. We had about 65 bushels of wheat. We milk three cows. Have raised 2 calves this summer. They have commenced to lay the track on the railroad from Kansas City to Paola, and promise to have it done to Paola, (ten miles from here) by winter. We have a Grant Club in our school district, and have meetings every Monday evening. We have very good meetings. Last time the school house was full. There are Grant Clubs in every district around us and meetings in each every week. We get Democrats out as often as we can and get them to speak, but they are easily used up. It adds interest to our meetings to have arguments on the other side to answer. Do you have any Grant Clubs? I guess you are not much of a politician. The boys get together and if the speaker is not very interesting, and it is moonlight they have a nice play, outdoors. I would like to have you write back again and I will try to answer sooner.
