~ AMKRIous LErrER.

Mr.. EDIToR: With others, weekly read
Our Americas Letter" with interest, being
citizen of the aforesaid place. /. for one, feel
and have felt under obligations to I" R." for
keeping us so lucidiy before your readers. 1
have been tempted several times to send you
line, and 'R.'s'' last letter decides me. "R.'s''
modesty keeps his own good works entirely in
the back ground, but it is high time that the
public should be made aware that r." does
more for them than write letters to keep
them posted as to the march of improvements
in this vicinity. He is one of our most enter
prising citizens. In any public movement, he
is ever ready to leRd-no, giUe helping hand.
He takes an active interest in our churches,
schools singing schools, &C., while our public
improvements, such as sidewalks, trees, &c,
all receive share of his aid. He speaks in his
last of the select party who renovated the U.
p. church; says they had two gentlemen wait
ers. He does not say that he of the
party. He speaks of the ladies who cleaned
the windows. He does not say that Mr.. Ran
dali took the unenviabfe job of taking out the
windows and putting them in place again. He
does not say that Mr.. Randall BACKED the
stove: What would our supper for the rail-
road boys have been without Mr.. Randall's an
firing efforts? 1 cannot quite agree with him
that BY. Campbell is the best man ON such oe-
casions, for think Russ. Randall is his equal.
He, too, has improved his own residence, fin
ished his house, fencing his grounds, setting
out shrubbery, &C., thereby adding to the neat
and thrifty appearance of our town.
We trust "R." will tlke no exceptions to our
letter, though it may hurt his modesty little.

To THE WooL-GRowERs OF SOUTHERN
KANsAs.-The firm Of Mcmillan, Fox & Co.
has established in Emporia a wool depot.
They have just brought to this town the larg-
est stock of wooden gOods-consisting of cassi-
meres, jeans, fiannels, etc. ever brought to
Southern Kansas. Their goods direct
from the Jacksonville, ILL.,, manufactures.
They will pay the highest cash price for wool,
or exchange wooden goods for the same.
In starting this establishment it is their in
tention to make it permanent thing. They
intend to build up large trade here, and in
order to do this they are prepared to offer in
ducements to woo-growers that defy compe-
tition and sell goods cheaper than any manu-
factory or house west of st. Louis. Give them
call before selling your wool elsewhere, and
satisfy yourselves regarding their goods and

8 THE "sAME OLD QUARTER."-A gentleman
who arrived here few days ago, from Mich
igan, and who lived here some ten years ago,
says everything has changed but the Lawrence
and Emporia stage line. It seemed to him, on
the trip down, they had the same old humping
wash tubs for hacks, and the same old string
halt balky horses they had on the trip up to
Lawrence when he went out ten or eleven
years ago. When he got out to walk and help
lift the horses and hack out of the mud he
knew he was on the Lawrence and Epporia
stage route. 81 81 ~

AcQUITTED.-A few days ago Thomas Bar
Der. an old resident of this county, was arrest
ed and taken TO Oswego. Labette county, on a
charge OF grand larceny. 1t seems that they
have number Of gentry in that county who
are engaged in stealing horses, etc. One of
these was under arrest, and was told if he
would inform on other members of the band,
he should have his liberty and be furnished
with money to leave the State Mr.. Barber
had lived down there for some time. and was
engaged in the cattle trade. Through the
malice and enmity of evil disposed persons,
the arrested party was induced to duplicate
Mr.. Barber as one Of the band. Accordingly
deputy sheriff came here last week and took
Mr.. Barber to Oswego. He had an eXamina-
ton before justice, and was soon released, as
there was not particle of evidence against
him. The young man who had caused his
arrest, instead of being released and furnished
with the money promised, was "sent up for
-four years. He was not TO blame so much fer
the crime of having arrested an innocent man,
as the malicious men who put him up

OUR SOUTHWESTERN TRADE.-We are glad
to see amOyement is made by some Of our mer-
chants to secure the trade of the country south
and southwest Of US. II is evident that per-
sons residing in Greenwood, Butler and other
counties southwest will not come here to buy
goods unless they can buy them cheaper than
they are offered at home. Staple articles can
be bought in Emporia to-day as cheap as they
can be bought at the river towns, taking into
account freight and time, and the consequence
is that we are getting large southern trade.
One firm in town sold several large bills OF
goods this week to persons residing in Wichita
and the Little Arkansas river. We are
glad that we have merchants who are not salts
fled with the local trade Of the country, butar
reaching out TO draw in the trade from the
country for sixty and seventy-five miles
around. Such enterprise as this will pay, and
it Will be but short time until We VIII have
large wholesale houses here. We know that
we have as shrewd business men here as can
be found anywhere, and are satisfied that every
inducement will be offered 10 secure the large
and increasing southern trade which naturally
belongs 10 us and we would say to the people
and traders Of the counties south, southwest
and west of US that our business men now
have larger stocks of goods than they have ever
kept before. In all the staples of trade there
Z heap, aud we. know our business men will do
all in their power to accommodate their Gus
toners.
