Our Trip to North-western Nebraska.

  We left our homes at Garrison, Butler Co., Nebr., Oct. 6, for Rushville, Sheridan county, a distance of about four hundred miles, to attend a love-feast, and look at the county. – The feast was held on the evening of the 9th, in a log house belonging to Bro. John Bear.  Thirteen members communed.  This church was organized Aug. 15, with two deacons and two speakers, Bro. David Bear being their elder.  We wish our eastern Brethren could have seen the love and joy of those thirteen members at this communion.  We were made to think of the twelve at Jerusalem.  We are looking for a location for a colony of Brethren. We can say the at Sheridan county contains good land, and there is plenty of room for more brethren. Land is very cheap, and has rock and timber on it.  For further particulars address Bro. David Bear, Rushville, Sheridan Co., Nebr., and enclosed stamp for replay.  We will further report when we examine the country.
