are supplying the country with home Inanufactur-
ed articles, thus preparing the way for the hus-
bandman TO turn OVER the soil In order that part
of the grassy plains may give way for the golden
grain which viii soon cover this valley far and
wide.
The large number of buildings which are al
ready under contract give full assurance that
large town must soon spring up. Two Stores are
now prepared for trade. The vanguard of Emf
grants who have not as yet found q home on this
fertile SOIL invited to to the rich Valley Of
the Neosho and share with those who are busy at
work building for themselves homes in the land Of
the west.
The most direct route and best road from Leav-
enworth and the Missouri river is by way of To-
peka where the emigrant can cross the Kanzas riy-
er by the elegant and substantial bridge just fn-
ished, the first and only bridge across that river;
thence by way of Brownville, Wilmington and
Waterloo to Forest Hill, thus making direct and
good route to Eagle City, Shell Rock Falls, Verdi
gris and Walnut creek country.
The natural crossing which the Junction af-
fords, is enc of the many reasons why the south
ern emigration crosses this way. Preparations are
being made for the speedy construction of good
Bridge at the Junction. for the better sceommoda-
ton of the enigrant. errHf

During the prayer meeting on last Thurs
day evening. some rowdyish individual
amused himself by firing off a revolver near
the house in which it was being held, much
to the annoyance of those in attendance
We hope that we shall not be called upon
to record another such an exhibition.
