LAWRENCE.

Last week we published on the outside OF
our paper an address Of the business men OF
Lawrence, to the people eff Southern Kan
sas. but made no editorial comments be-
cause we had no room. That Lawrence Is
to be the principal inland city of Kansas
there is no doubt, and there is strong prob
ability that it will also be the Capitol OF the
State, as it offers inducements and has &C
commadations not afforded at any other in
terror town.
The Lawrence business men. for the
most part, are an accommodating and oofig'
ing set of fellows. SO far as our observation
goes. We have frequently bought goods
there as cheap as they could be purchased
at the river towns. and We believe this II
especially true as to Dry Goods. II tin
Lawrence merchants can make it to the in
terest of buyers in the Neosho Valley, t.
deal with them. as they say they can. the.
will reap large and profitable trade, ant
I make Lawrence the inland commercial Gil.
of the State.
We advise our people when going thFoug
Lawrence to stop and look around the city
price the goods aud make the acquaintance
of the merchants, as it will be useless to g
: to the river for goods if they can be had
"a low rates in Lawrence.

L. p. & W. r.. r.

We are glad to learn that the Leaven-
worth, Pawnee and Western Railroad Com
PAW has secured its title to the lands to
which it had the right of purchase under the
treaty of 1860. This land comprises 923,-
a6e acres of the richest and most desirable
land in the State, or in the West. The
Company advertise in this issue that they
will. from and after the first Monday OF
August next, receive written proposals for
the purchase of said lands, at their Office In
Leayenworth City. Terms, one-third cash.
and the remainder on the completion OF the
road. at six per cent. interest. 1t is the in
ten,ion of the Company to use every means
in their power to push the road to an early
completion, and we know that it is in the
hands of energetic men. 1t is impossible
to calculate the immense pecuniary benefit
this roa | will be to our State. 1t will be
the means of bringing here hundreds Of
thousands of dollars. and give employment
to hundreds of men. When completed tc
Lawrence, it will be great saving to TIT
people of this valley. Instead of having
to haul all their goods from LeavenWorth
10 miles, they can have them shipped t.
Lawrence, a distance of some 20 miles
saving 40 miles of teaming, and severa
days delay in getting their merebandis
through.
This will be the first railroad in operation
in the State 1t will forever establish Leav
enworth as the commercial city of Kansas
J and pour into her Golfers millions of dollars
An attempt was made by some unprincl
pied spectators to get the land re-aPpraised
J but the effort was unsuccessful, as 1t ougf
} to have been. We have it from the best c
, authority, that the Company paid for th
land all it was worth, and if it had bee
} appraised higher they would not have pur
j chased it, and thus it would in all probabi
, iry have fallen into the hands of WORTHLESS
SPECTATORS. We are glad to know that GU
Senators and Representative, Messrs. Lane
e Pomeroy and Conway, did not lend their II
,. fuence to this scheme of the spectators
s procure a new appraisement, and ha'
: thereby done good thing for the who

COUNTY FAIR.

Two weeks ago we alluded to this matter
in TIE News, very briefly. Since that time
we have not even heard it spoken of once
which we take as pretty fair indication
that people are not awake to the importance
of holding county fair this fall. We had
hoped to hear from some Of our friends in
the country in regard to this matter. The
question now is. shall it go by default. or
not =? 1t will De Iecollected By all, that last
year preparations were made to hold fair
and afterwards given up on account of the
drouth. This year we have no reason for
not getting up good one. Providence has
smiled on the efforts of the tillers OF the
soil and the result is, an abundant harvest
! of everything in the grain and vegetable
line. Two or three days could be sPen
with very great profit to all by having
fair. It is always an occasion for the com
ing together OF the people, and an inter
change of neighborly and friendly CONVEX
sation. Who does not revert to the count!
