CRAWFORD COUNTY, ILLINOIS.

By G. W. MITCHELL

To those brethren who want homes, the eastern part of this county holds out some inducements. Lamotte Prairie, which is eight or nine miles long, and three or four wide, is very rich. Grains, fruits, and vegetables, grow in abundance. Plenty of timber, good roads, excellent water, a moderate climate, and health equal to any other part of the State; are some of its features. Bro. Hiestand and family, who live about the center of Lamotte Prairie, have raised the standard of health reform. I lately visited this dear family, and found them striving to overcome. There are also, some others, keeping the Sabbath; and a good many reading our publications, furnished them by Bro. Hiestand, who think favorably of the doctrine.
