County Officers.

There will be to elect on the second
Tuesday of October next in each county
of the Territory, a County Auditor and
County Treasurer-both offices of honor
and profit. In Madison and Breckenridge
counties, so far as we can learn there has
been no movement made toward bringing
forward candidates. It is time that can
vass was being made to determine upon
good and responsible men to be supported
by the people. There are many good men
in both counties who would serve the peo-
pie well in the capacity of either Auditor
or Treasurer, and we trust that some means
viii be taken to bring them before the peo-
pie. The proper way would be through
the medium of conventions; and we sug-
gest to the committees of these counties
the propriety of calling conventions for
that purpose, at an early day.

Al Fouring Mill.

One Of the prime needs of this section
of country is .tfrst-eEass FLoURING MILL.
There is large amount of wheat in the
country now, and the number of acres
sown this fall will greatly exceed that of
the season just past. We think the expe-
rience of the two past seasons has demon
strated that this portion of Kansas is pecu-
liarly adapted to the growing of wheat,
and it will undoubtedly become the great
wheat-producing portion. There is wheat
enough in this portion of the country now
to steadily employ good mill for one year;
and there is no doubt that the enterprise of
erecting one will pay handsomely. And
we should think the man or men could be
found to embark in it.
The best point in Kansas for mill is at
Emporia. 1t is the natural center for a
vast extent of country-is now the center
of trade for region of country forty miles
square. The erection of good Touring
Mill here would much increase this trade,
and would also do the entire business for
that extent of country for years to come.
Now we know very worthy gentleman
who has the power for mill, which he will
furnish-two engines-if he can procure a
partner who will furnish the mill ITSELF
Is not there some person here who has the
requisite means, who will take hold of this
project and put money into his own pocket
and confer lasting benefit on the COM
munity?

The County seat---Emporia.


Some of the friends of rival towns in
their canvass for the county seat are in the
habit of asking in a tone that would imply
an answer derogatory to Emporia, .What
has Emporia ever done to deserve the loca-
ton of the county seat?" Well, we will
Just mention for the benefit of those per-
sons and all others, a few well-known facts.
Emporia is the only place in the county
where the people could buy their Provis-
ions, Dry Goods and Groceries and Hard
ware; the only place that has furnished
them-until recently-with mail facilities.
For nearly year the citizens of Emporia
supported an Independent weekly mail line
to Lawrence, over which passed nineteen
twentieths of the mail matter of the county
They have also established and supported a
regular hack line to Lawrence-the only
one in the county. They are now SUBJ
scribing literally to build bridge across
the Neosho-and a0iA build it! These
things may not constitute sufficient claim
on which to ask for the location of the
county seat. But can any of the other
candidates say as much

A School in Emporia.

We are requested to announce that a
school, in which will be taught the elements
of good English Education, viii be open

This is to be scithout fail; and those desir-
ing to send their children to good school
will do well to have them ready to COM
mence with the session. The terms will
be reasonable, and in reach of every per-
SON having children. We hope to see a
good attendance.

We learned yesterday from gentleman
of veracity, that the friends of one of the
candidates for the county seat of this coun-

lots. Should any more such instances
come to our notice we shall publish the
names of the parties that the people gen.
orally may know and despise the man who
would sell his franchise for to,On property !
We desire to see this canvass conducted in
proper manner, and shall promptly ex-

The time for prairie fires is approaching,
and in few weeks the smoke and flames
of the burning grass viii be seen on all

and the fires will be correspondingly large

FOREST HILL, with lis numerous advnn
II tages, Is now paramount to all other places.
As 1t IS situated on the north side and near to the
Junction of the Eeosho and Cottonwood Rivers.
The eleyated position which the above named town
occupies, gives commanding view of the eoun-
try al around, confirming the many fstsering re-
ports which have already been made by all trav-
elers, who are constantly coming this way to Eli
up the fertile valleys of the Neosho and Cotton
wood. The clear, cold water of the streams tells
well for the health and prosperity of the country.
The abundance of sand which the Neesho and
Cottonwood furnish, makes this location more de-
sirable than any one south of tle Kanzas River.

The Blaeksmithing and Plow factory is being
carried on by Messrs. Stevenson & Bunnell, who
are supplying the country with home manufaetur-
ed articles, thus preparing the way for the hus-
bandman to turn over the soil in order that part
ef 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 Emil
grants who have not yet found home on this
fertile soil, invited to come to the rich Valley Of

The most direct route and best road from Leav-
enworth and the Missouri river is by wsy Of To-
Peka where the emigrant can cross the KanZas riv-
er by the elegant and substantial bridge Just fin
ished. the first and only bridge across that river:
thence by way of Brownviile, Wilmington and
Waterloo to Forest Hill, thus making direct and
good route to Eagle City. Shell Rock Falls, Verdi

The natural crossing which the Junction af-
fords, is one of the many reasons why the south

being made for the speedy construction of good

A Mrs. Sealy, Of Tampa Fla,
died a short time since, under the
following extraordinary circumstan-
ces: About two weeks previous
to her death, a small garter snake
made its way through the floor Of
the residence, and wrapped itself
around the ankle of the, unfortun-
ate woman, who was frightened in
to spasms. For two weeks she
was confined to her bed 10 a state
of insensibility, and her actions
partook Of the snake nature, twisting
her body into all kinds Of shapes,
striking her head up in snake
like manner, &c. At the expira-
tion of this period, death INTERVIEWED
and relieved the sufferer.

DEAR SISTERS Having lived ma
ny years in this beautiful but wicked
world. have seen much, heard much,
and thought much. And, if you will
listen to me, | will give you the results
of some of my observations without
fee or reward.
Many of you, / suppose, have re-
ceived the benefits Of an academical
education, and know enough of His
tory to be familiar with the fact that
when the English barons wrested
Magua Narfa from King John, they
thereby secured to themselves, and
the people at large, the right of being
tried by their peers before condem-
nation. In other words, John was
constrained to solemnly grant, and to
secure by Charter, under bis sign
manual. the inestimabie privilege of
trial by jury. This ina'ienable right
we, the citizens Of this free country,
likewise enjoy; and it is right in
sweet accord with the teachings of
y
God himself. Do you properly ap-
preciste its value, and are you willing
to be condemned without hearing?
Do you not see, and understand that
gour regulations are at the mercy Of
the evil disposed of either. sex, If
bereft Of this safeguard? If yea,
Why do you lend a listening ear to the
whispered suggestions that some for
lorn member of our sisterhood sis
supposed TO have loved not wisely,
but too we'll? And, in such cases,
do you not aid IN propagatlng the
scandal-not by direct charges it may
he, but by asking your yisitants, as
they severally call, if the tale be true?
O. my own heart bleeds wheN ] re-
member the many broken ones | have.
known-the possessors of which were
specimens Of Purity ITSELF as COM
pared with their needless, thoughtless,
and cruel detractors.
ny stay on this Fair earth must,
necessarily, be Of short duration
Knowing this, and having an earnest
desire to be instrumental in saving
you from agony in this life, and from
condemnation In the life to come, /
beseech you to Judge not, lest vel
be judged" @! heed the warnings
Of MOTHER.
