Hartford.

We visited this village, situated in the
eastern part of Lyon county, on the Neosho
river, a few days ago, for the FIRST time We
were really agreeablY surprised with the
appearance of the town aud adjacent coun-
try. The site is on a high rolling prairie.
with a gentle slope to the river, which
makes a bend at that point, running to
within half mile of the town. Il is sur
rounded with thousands of acres of the most
fertile prairie and timber land We have seen
In this or any other part of the State. few
miles off is Eagle creek, with her broad and
rich valleys-making it altogether a desr-
able location for farming purposes.
The Hartford Collegiate Institute of the
NJ. Z. Church is located at Hartford, the
walls Of which are almost ready to receive
the roof. The building will be completed this
summer, and will be one of the best educa
tional institutions in Southern Kansas.
We found here quite stock of dry goods,
groceries, boots and shoes, ETC., in a store
kept by Z. d. Bassett, one of the most So
ciable, good-natured men we have met with
anywhere. The citizens extend to him a
liberal patronage. and he is determined to
build up a country store which cannot be
beaten anywhere. On pricing some articles
of merchandise, we found that Mr.. Bassett
sold as cheap as dirt-underselling in some
articles. the merchants of this village. The
people of Hartford and vicinity should give
him liberal trade He branches out" in
another column of TIE News, with an ad'
vertisement. Mr.. Bassett has promised us
a handsome club of subscribers from Hart
ford. The people there will receive our paper
on the same day it is printed, and can thus
get later news than from any other source
We hope they will see it is TO their Interest
to give their county paper good support
While here We visited the large saw mil
which has been erected by our friend ]. H
Hunt. Owing to the recent caving of thu
banks of the mill-race, it is not yet in oper
alton. The machinery is all ready to run
and, had it not been for bad luck. would
have been making lumber-which the citi
zens greatly leei the need OF. Out MI
Hunts energy will master all difficulties
and during the summer lumber will be turn
ed out fast enough to supply the demand
and new houses will spring up in all direc
TONS We wish friend Hunt abundant sue
cess.
, We made the acquaintance of several o
the citizens, whom we found agreeable, SO
ciable and intelligent. Hartford is bound t
become a wealthy and intelligent commu
nifty.
An excellent school has been taught Their
during the last quarter, by Miss Flor
Grove, and an effort will be made. to con
tinue it during the summer. The citizen
speak in high terms ofpraise of Miss Grove
ability as teacher.
