LETTER FROM AN OLD PIONEER.
ALLEN, March sth, 1869.

ALLEN, March Sth, 1862
Enron OF TIE NEWS: Having lived in
Kansas for the last twenty-three years, ana
having been u practical farmer therein most
of that time. venture to give tile numer-
Gus readers of The News, through your
kindness, a few of my observations anu rec
objections. and if any good results there
from, l am content:
1st-D,,outh: During that twenty-three
wears. there has been, in what is now Kan
SaS two drouthS. The first was IN 1873,
partial drouth only, injuring the late Veget-
ables it being in the latter part OF the seas
SON At that time there was but little farm
ino dome EXCEPT by the various Indian tribes,
Missionaries Agents. &c. The End was IN
1860. of which need not speak particular
", as most of your readers are ianllllaf WITH
and-Pains: In the time mentioned. Ihave
seen an abundance OF rain, except as above
stated and have further noticed that the
season following wet Fall and w inter ,sucn
as we have just passed through, crops never
failed TO DE abundant; and as Il general rule
if there should be no more rain this season,
! the farmers may depend upon good crop OF
small grains and grass. and win the usaaI
| or ordinary proportion OF rain, the FARMERS
| NAV look with certainty for an unusually
| large crop OF corn, potatoes. and vegetables
I of all kinds adapted TO this climate. IN TINS
connection may be permitted 10 refer the
reader to the year 1917, the winter OF when
4
unusually wet, followed by about the ortli-
nary amount of rain during the following
| Summer, and can Iruthfnlly say that new
| er saw-and am man of - years of age
-sucn crops of corn. potatoes. and other
vegetables grow out of the ground any
! where, and if it would be advisable TO re:ls-
on by analogy, will venture to predict that
| we will have abundant crops the coming
season.
3D.: Kansas is certainly splendid fruit
growing country.
ner;ence has been that the surest way TO get
4 hedge is to plant the seed just where yor
want the hedge. and then no frosts nol
thaws in Spring ever spew up the plant. But
| when you cut the tap root OF the plant 70 sci
it out IN your hedge, the frosts and thaws
next following are apt to spew the plant out
/ would therefore recommend TO plant the
seed where you want the hedge, and If any
place in your hedge row misses. you can AZ
WAYS find other places where the hedge
plants are thick enough to take some out anc
plant where they are needed.
Yours truly,
G. Fl. WILMINGTON.

IMMIaRATION EDITION.

We appear this week with the long
promised immigration paper. One
thing and another has delayed its APP
pearance for several weeks. We issue
nearly four thousand copies. This is
our third effort in this line, and those
formerly issued have been consumed as
fast as they could be put in wrappers.
Last spring we found ourself short of
the demand about one thousand copies,
but we think we have enough Of this
issue to supply the wants of all.
In making up the matter for this pa
per we have tried to select and write
such articles as would give information
OH every subject about which inquiry
would be likely to be made by those
seeking information from this section
of the State. From a large amount of
matter that passed in review before our
eyes we have tried. to- select the. best
and most reliable. We have endeavor-
ed in every instance to get at the truth.
We have neither an acre of land or a
single town lot to sell-neither would
we make q misrepresentation to get n
single individual TO immigrate TO Kan-
sas, however much we may desire them
to come. We work for the upbuilding
of Kansas because we have faith in her.
We believe Kansas has a glorious
future before her. She is to be great
commonwealth, and we want young
and middleaged men with strong nerves
and honest hearts to come and help de-
velop her resources, knowing they
will be benefited thereby. We have
no purpose to s1bserve but the good OF
the State and our fellow-men. We
have tried Kansas twelve years, and
our faith in her bright and glorious
future increases each year. We have
not made half or quarter as much mon.
ey in Kansas as many of those sur
rounding us, but we have done enough
to recommend her to every poor MAI
who is trying to better his condition
Kansas has proved friend to nine ou
of every ten who have stuck by he
and who have used proper exertions t
help themselves, unless some streak o
bad luck has fallen TO their lot.
Many of our articles will be brande,
as overdrawn statements by few per
sons, but their very next ncighbors. an
we believe a large majority of our read
ers in Kansas, will say we have no

We publish our honest convictions.
We desire to direct the attention G
all to the articles OH the first and fourt

statistics will be found there comparin

FINALLY.
In railroad prospects, in mail facili-
ties, in schools, in richness and product
iveness of soil, in excellence of climate,
in all that goes to make a desirable
home, in chances to gain competence
on small capital, no county offers better
inducements to those seeking homes,
than Lyon.

NEosHo RAPIDS AND PLYMOUTH.

We publish articles from Americus and Hart
ford, in this county, hut have not been favored
with anything from our sister villages, Neosho
Rapids and Plymouth. We are sorry for this,
and in the absence of such letters we should
have had from friends ut those places, We make
an item in regard to them.
The Rapids Is located just below the june
ton of the Cottonwood and Neosho. 1t has
one of the most beautiful and desirable loca-
.tions in this part of the country. 1t is Jackson
township. and is surrounded with the best
farming country in this part Of the State. Adj
joining the town is Semans Il Roberts large
water mill and carding machine. The town has
two good stores Il grocery store, daily mail,
a fine Baptist chu:ch. large school house il
being erected, blacksmith shops, etc. Jackson
is next to Emporia township in population. 1t
is the best timbered town hip in the county
New corners will find the Rapids aud sur
rounding country desirable for homes.
Plymouth is loc-ted in Pike township, eight
| miles west of Emporia. 1t has good steam
/ Touring aud saw mill, good school, large
| store, cabinet and blacksmith shop and IS i'm a
/ ve:y desirable location. 1t is mile from the
Cottonwood river, and is surrounded with one
! of the wealthiest and most thriving communi'
ties in the county. The township is well sup
piled with timber. but the extent and excel
lence of its prairies is not exceeded in any par
of Kansas that we have ever seen. Immigrant
will find in Pike township as good inducements
I us can be found anywhere.

MAP OF THE COUNTY.

MAP OF THE COUNTY.
We have the pleasure of presenting,
above. a reliable outline sectional map
of Lyon county. We secured this, in
connection with L. p. Bancroft, for the
purpose of inserting it i'll this immigra-
ton edition. 1t was drawn by him, and
will appear i'll his Real Estate Register,
one number of which has already been
issued. Our numerous subscribers East
who own land in this county can see its
exact location in the county from this
map; also, the location of the streams,
towns, railroads etc. The sections i'll one
township are numbered for the COLI
vcnience of those not accustomed to the
manner of numbering. The number of
the townships is Oh the right margin,
and the ranges on the margin at the top,
so that any one can readily find any tract
of land in Lyon county. Mr.. Il. took
every pains to make it correct, and we
believe it to be as nearly so as can well
be made on SO small scale, with the
exception of the railroad lines, which
are not definitely located.
LOCATION.
LYON county is located near the center
of the State, north and south, and about
the center of what will be the habit
able portion of it, for many years to
come, east and west. We have only to
refer to any correct map of the State, to
prove this. We often speak of this as
Southwestern, or Southern Kansas,
when, in fact, it is Central Kansas. 1t
came to be called Southwestern Kansas
at an early day from the fact that here
were the frontier settlements. This
was the Southwest so far as population
was concerned, and we have continued
to speak of it as the Southwest from
force of habit. The country for one
hundred miles south, southwest and
west of us is filling up rapidly, and we
are getting in the center of population
POPULATION.
The population of the county is esti-
mated, by some of our most careful men,
to be nine to ten thousand. We think
this not very far from correct.
POLITICS.
We are occasionally asked by cores
pondents what the political complex
ion of Lyon county is. We only gave
fall out of something less than eleven
hundred votes. That's all. A year ago
last fall Lyon county gave three hun
dred and fifty-six majority for negro
| suffrage. Our Republicans are the SORT
that take what they recommend to their
| Southern brethren. We are Republi-
cans in Lyon county because we ike it
better than anything we have tried.
Most of US never tried anything else
and don't want to.
TIMBER AND WATER.
For timber, aud never failing streams,
Lyon is not surpassed by any interior
county in the State. Commencing at
the north end of the county and coming
this way we have Elm creek, One Hun
dred and Forty-two, Duck, Ithese three
