PLYMOUTH, sept. ., 1861.
EDITOR NEWS: In travelling through the
county Of Lyon had the pleasure Of stopping
with Uncle John Carter, At the new and en-
terprising little town Of Plymouth, which is
situated nine miles west of Emporia, the coun-
ty seat of the beautiful county fLyon. Uncle
John gave me an invitation TO attend an ex-
hibition TO be held at their school house. The
exercises were to close the school which had
been taught during the past term, by the sue
eessful teacher, Mrs. Lambdin. The exercises
would have done credit to villages OF much
larger magnitude; and indeed showed that
there had been much drill and patience exer-
cised during the short term. 1 understand it
was the first school taught in the village since
its organization. This exhibition continued
for two evenings, and notwithstanding the
dark and rainy weather, the house was well
filed. An admission fee Of % cents was
charged, the proceeds TO be appropriated for
the benefit Of the Sunday school organized a
short time since. The assistance thus given to
the school will supply them well with books.
was strongly Impressed with the interest
manifested by the people to make the village
place worthy the notice Of all good people
looking for homes in Kansas, and particularly
in Lyon county. Nor should Emporia or any
other town regard Plymouth except in the
most friendly light.
The people Of this pleasant village are in
deed thorough going people, and have ac-
complished great work in getting u fine
school house, two well filed stores, black
smith shop, q Touring mill, saw mill, wagon
and paint shop, &c. and surely such n settle
ment must be Of advantage in every way to
the country Immediately adjoining it and to
Emporia and surrounding towns.
Indeed the Great American Desert must
blossom as the rose, and the wild prairies of
Kansas, but recently inhabited by rowing
tribes OF Indians, are to make homes for the
thousands who are out of employment and
thrOnging the older States of the East.
In view Of the pleasant and interesting visit
had at the village Of Plymouth and the zeal
they manifest for the development Of the cOun-
try, rejoice in the growing prosperity Of EN-
poria and the lesser towns of Lyon county,
and they can all afford to be generous and
magnanimous to each other. a. v. s.

rod long, prepared my potatoes by dividing
in pieces of one eye each and placing them
in the rows one foot apart with the eye up

hOed them twice. / left home about the
time they were getting a good start, very
uneasy about my pOtatOe crop, knowing the
weeds grew rapidly in this country. On
returning to my patch in about four weeks
found the vines all dead. dug my pota-
toes carefully and took them to the scales
and weighed them, and there was just
one hundred pounds. They were all nice
and smooth. quite a number Of them weigh
