Baneroft.s Map Of Lyon County.

Major Bancroft, our enterprising Real Es-
tate Agent, has the copy of his map of this
county ready for the engraver, and has already
forwarded it to New York. He has spent
about Three months in getting it up, and the
work is complete. We were permitted to see
it, on Tuesday, and know it to be correct. 1t
contains the streams, roads, proposed railroads,
location Of the towns school houses, mills, and
the names of the owners of all the land in the
county. The map is work Of great merit.
and reflects credit upon the author. This map
will be sent all over the country, consider
able number OF Eastern men who own land
here having already ordered copies, and will
do an immense sight Of good in the way of adj
vertising the county. Every man in the coun-
ty who can possibly afford it should have one
of these maps. Different styles will be issued,
in order that all may be accommodated as to
quality and price. We sincerely hope enough
of them may be sold not only to pay the eX-
pense Of getting it up but also to put a hand
some sum in the Majors pocket, for such a
valuable enterprise certainly deserves the high.
est pecuniary benefits to the author. 1t can
not fail to suit the public. Due notice will be
given when the map is ready for sale and de.

HARNESS BUsINEsS.-H v. Bundrem is
manufacturing sixteen sets Of Concord coach
harness for the Neosho Valley stage line, at
S44 per set. Hill sent to st. Louis to have them
made, but after receiving sample and COM
pairing it with Bundrem's sample set he decided
to take them all of Bundrem, and sent the St.
Louis sample back. The st. Louis harness
was 81 cheaper on the set, but Hill decided that
there was more than 30 difference in favor Of
Bundrem's manufacture. This is pretty good
recommendation Of Bundrem's work.
