that 1.-THE Republican leaders have aban-
donsd the purpose of nominating Dir.
Seward, and have determined to nominate
Mr.. Bates, Of Missouri. az President. and
Henry NJ. Reed. of Pennsylvania. as
Vice President. The movement is very
sdroit, in a party sense. for it will con-

The purpose of the Republicans to rally
under the highly respectable candidates
above named, will be manifested at the

Prospects Ahead.

The prospects Of our town and the sur
rounding country, for the ensuing season,
ere brighter than ever before. and, we
think, will amount to something substAn-
tial. We do not know that great num-
Der Of houses will be built in White
Cloud. or that many families viii come
TO reside among rs; but We particularly
refer to the number Of farms that will be
opened around our place, and the quAnti-
y Of vacant land that win be put under
cultivation. When the land is once eul-
tiyatsd, the houses and people will ap-
pear in town. The unimproved lands
lying for miles around White Cloud,
have been the greatest drawback upon her
prosperity; and therefore, when we see
the land being improved, we look upon
IL a. so much being done to. improve the
town.
One branch that is being entered into
extensively, 10 that of fruit culture.
Thousands Of fruit trees have already been
delivered here, and still more have been
engaged, to be delivered in the Spring,
Ct which time young orchards will make
their appearance in every direction.
This cannot but be profitable business.
In 9 few years, North Eastern Kansas
viii be one Of the best fruit regions in the
West.
Two other articles that are attracting
attention, are corn and pork-the former

most profitable branch Of farming, in this
section, and it is just being found ont,
since We have 9 pork house at hand.
Hogs and corn are sure crops; and the
liberal prices and ready cash which are
being paid for pork, have drawn the at
tention of farmers to hog raising.
During the past season, quite a mum.
Der Of farms have been opened within one
70 Eve miles of this place and during
the coming season, the number will be
greatly increased. Nearly every body
Il talking about farming. Messrs. Dor

improve four quarters adjoining. Dir.
Van Doren is making arrangements to
open large farm close by. Mr.. Bowers
viii also improve his land, in the same
neighborhood. Mr.. Bailey has had
quantity of land broken near town, which
he intends to place under cultivation.
Mr.. Maqailken will open a farm some
farther from town. A number Of others
will make farms Of their own, or improve
rented ground. We also hear of mum.
Der Of strangers who are about contract
ing for lands near here, with q view Of
opening farms. White Cloud will be
the market and trading place for all these
persons.
This is the kind Of enterprise We like
70 see. The world contains no better far.
ming land than the soil Of Kansas; and
IN few years, We hope to see fields and
farm houses upon every quarter section
for miles around our town. This done,
there can be no drawback to the prosper.

Democracy would have been but very
little better of, if each County had elect
