GE~ Mr.. VIM. McAuLEY, formerly of
Grant County, but now settled in the Kick
apoo region, gives notice that he will show
public lands to strangers on reasonable
terms. He is about the only man we ever
saw that had any knowledge worth the
name, of that unsettled region of country.
~ very large proportion of the lands up
north, along the Kickapoo and its tributa-
fies, is very fertile, well tilnbered, some
prairies and barens, and well watered.-
The lay Of the country is rolling but not
generally billy, There are hundreds of
the finest locations in the world, as vet un-
entered and waste, where poor men having
fifty or hundred dollars to invest in land
may do so to as good advantage as any
where else in the west. About three
fourths of the lands Of that immense region
are still owned by government, and are in
market at 5l,0o per acre, the ten years
having expired.

Gg- The rush for public lands in Grant
County is unprecedented, all by persons
of course who intend to become actual set
tiers, the purchase of lands for speculation
being killed off in great measure by the
Graduation Law. Our lands are now on
ly so cts. per acre, and there are vet. ma
ny excellent locations, but it takes some
trouble to find them. Somewhere between
n quarter and third of the county is vet
in market. About half the towns have
more or less public lands. Fennimore, in
the north part Of the county, has probably,
the largest proportion of unentered land
Millville, Liberty and Muscoda have also
large amounts. The Grant County lands
are going however, at the rate Of one or
two thousand acres a day. Our taverns
are crowded with land hunters. Hu-rah
for the great transition we have SO long
anticipated for Grant County to pass thro'.
We have long seen that our property, peo-
pie, business, institutions and domestic per-
quisites could have no fxedness until our
lands passed into the hands of actual set
tiers. All is coming to pass and passing
right.

EV There are about fifty merchants in
Grant County, doing an average business
of about $4,000 each--s50o,0oo in all.
About 90 of these pay in full in advance
for all their purchases; thirty go in debt,
and are generally in debt about 5000
each, in all $4,000. This debt, if collec-
ted and paid of tomorrow, could not make
money scarce to any injurious extent, be-
cause in three months it would more than
be balanced by sales of lead. Add also in
our favor the tremendous surplus of farm
products of this year. These cannot be
less than 100000 more. We might al
so add, that by emigration our currency
will be largely augmented. We can see
no cause for alarm in any paper panic
The completion Of the Illinois Central rail-
road to the southwest corner of our Coun.
ty, connecting us with the east, is further
guaranty that all is safe on our side. We
only wish we could say as much for other
sections of the West. Be on your guard,
farmers and all, about going in debt. Don't
trust the future for it is full of breakers.

Eg Thus far we have not heard that a

gT Thus far we have not heard that
single smelter throughout the Wisconsin
mines has paid out, or that any miner has
received for mineral one dollar Of paper nc
ney, since the great Bank panic of 1887,
when the worthless issues of Illinois, Green
Bay, Mineral Point and Michigan red dogs
composed almost the entire currency;
when every miner lost his entire earnings,
and which condition of money affairs is
fastening towards the same predicament
as in that same year 1887. It may be
that smelters will be strongly induced to
try paper among miners; but, should they
yield, greater calamity could not be-
tai the country. AS it is, the people of
the mines are paper proof; the miners are
in no danger of loss, whatever the times
may bring about and through them, the
farmers and all others are fortified as strong
as Gibralter against all banking treachery.
Stand to your sovereigns and American
eagles miners, and allthe paper bullets sent
from the state stock AMI wildcat barracks
can't faze you nor the country. Smelters,
we trust in your intelligence and patriot
ism, likewise your interest in the cut
come, to never offer paper dollar for min
eral. You pay out about half million
of dollars annually in Grant County,
enough to keep the currency sound and a.
bundant--So keep it.
