Greenwood County.


Last week we made short visit TO a sec
ton of the Verdigris country, III Greenwood
county. The farmers there seem to be
prospecting finely, and the farms look well.
Still, there are some very good places IN
occupied, whose owners have gone into the
army, or moved away. Some excellent
claims, consisting of bottom land and tim
Der, can be purchased at a low rate. To
any who may be looking for locations to
settle in, we can recommend the Verdigris
country-and especially to those who are
about to go into the stock growing business.
No settlements are made off the creek. and
cattle have almost an unlimited range on
the prairies stretching away for miles north
aud south. Building stonei is plentiful, and
springs abound.
The people of tina. section of Greenwo od
are largely engaged in stock raising, and
are succeeding WE'LL Mr.. Duke has flock
of some four or FIVE hundred sheep which
look fat and carry heavy feeces. Duke is
making it pay His farm, too. is under a
good slate of cultivation, and we were pleas
ed to see it well stocked with fruit trees.
Mr.. Boswell Is also another heavy stock
grower, making horses his specially. Of
these he has some 6ne ones, and is increas
ing the number rapidly. Hardly any other
branch of farming at the present time, pays
better than this Mr.. Pheanis an old citi-
zen of Lyon county, and Mr.. Martindale
have a herd of some three hundred head of
cattle, many of which are in good condi-
ton for market. Others, whom we have
not now time to mention. have large herds
of cattle. Greenwood will soon be we'll rep

Cotton seems to be furnishing well on
the Verdigris. Some of the best fields OF
it that we have seen this season, were there;
and while in this section almost every stalk
had been entirely ruined by frost, those
fields which we mention were looking as
thrifty as in July. Already it is being pick :

AT the house of Mr.. VIM. Kelley we noticed

A meeting was held at the house of H.

Wesley Pearson was chosen chairman, and
Harvey Norton secretary. A company of
