Strangers sometimes wonder why it
is there is so much land for sale in
Kansas if the country is what it is rep
resented. 1t is simply because the Kan
sas people are peculiarly a trading
people. Many sell themselves out of a
farm several times in year. Not one
in fifty who sell leave Kansas. We
mention as fact worthy of note that
we have not printed sale bill for q
year and n half or two years.

LYON CoUNTY.-A stranger sends us
the following item for THE NEWS:
Having sojourned in Kansas since the
first of July last, and having spent the
most of my time in travelling from
place to place, l have seen a large por-
ton of thirteen counties in Kansas, out
of which bought small tracts of land
in four counties before seeing Lyon. /
cannot say that repent any contract l
have made, but my judgment attracts
my mind to Lyon county, and had the
means left l should invest here. 1t is
the most slightly county in the State,
with beautiful streams, and lovely val
leys, slopes and plains. Emporia, the
county seat, is the most beautiful town
iu the State, of its age and size, and has
the greatest future prospects before it.
This is yet a new county, but the town is
springing up almost like magic. Just
back of town l was reminded of war
times to see the tents stretched and
shanties built-but when the traveller be-
comes informed he finds they are for
railroad hands boarding houses, and
superintendent, who cannot be accom-
mOdated in the town on account of their
number. In a few weeks the iron horse
will be heard to whistle in the town of
Emporia, all the way from Junction
City, and by spring the great A. L. ~ ).
F. railroad is confidently expected at
Emporia. Go to the small as we'll as
the large towns of Lyon county and
YOU will find the inhabitants moral, in
telligent and religious, and not grog
shop in the county. Therefore l would
say to all emigrants or persons contem-
plating future home in the west, to at
least see Lyon county before purchasing
elsewhere. A TRAVELLER.

North LYON CoUNTY.-In our paper
to-day we give pretty full description
of what there is in the northern portion
of this county, written by our local ed
itor, T. b. Murdoch. Every citizen of
the county will be proud of this show
ing, and especially those who reside in
that vicinity. There are some of the
oldest, best and most prosperous farm
ers in the county, located along Elm,
142, and Duck Creeks. There are
plenty of cheap lands in this section,
and there is no better portion Of country
for new settlers to go to. Our local
found some settlers who complained
that that portion of the county had not
been properly represented in the col
umns of The NEWS. We acknowledge
that there is some ground for their
complaints. But we have not been able
tizens are somewhat to blame also for
not writing communications to our
paper. We are just as ready and just
as willing to "write up that portion of
the county as any other, but it has been
impossible for us either to go in person
or by deputy till now, and spend the
time necessary to see all there is in that
part of our glorious county. We shall
strive to do our duty to all portions of
the county, and hope the people will
aid us all in their power.
We intend to make just such show
ing of every portion of Lyon and the
adjoining counties between now and
Christmas as has been made of Waterloo
and Agnes City townships.

We met, this week, I. B. Finley, of
Bellefontaine, Ohio, who has been pros

already purchased few pieces through
the agency of Hanna & Danford. He
showed us few specimens of different
kinds of stone aud some coal off a farm
he purchased of Andy Hinshow, i'll
Chase county, near Plymouth. From
the quality of the specimens, we pre-
sumo Mr.. Finley is well acquainted with
the wants of the farmer. Mr.. F., who
has been dealing in real estate in Ohio,
proposes to close out his lands there and
come among us. We welcome such
men, with their energy, enterprise and
capital, and we understand that Mr..
Finley possesses all these in large de-
gree.
