Seven loads Of immigrants passed through
here on Monday for Butler county. They had
been told all sorts of stories about that country,
but proposed TO go through and see for them
selves One gentleman told US that he had
been informed that the country was destitute
OF feed for either man or beast, and that he
could get nothing after he left Emporia. We
disabused his mind on this point, and urged
him not to believe half he heard, but to go and
see the country. Immigrants should always
do this Those who stop to listen to every
thing they hear on the road, will conclude that
Southwestern Kansas is inhabited by race of
haIf-starved savages.
