LAST week we purchased the
Zaleski Echo Office press, ma
terial, and 3good will" and
moved it to the Record office.
The material was used in pub.
lishirg the first Republican pa
per in this county, but in 1864,
the paper failed on account
of bad management, or lack OF
patronage, or probably both
causes combined, and was
purchased by the Zaleski Com,
pany. After its removal VIM.
Edmodnson controlled the pa
per about a year, publishing it
in the interests of the Repub.
lican party. He was succeeded
by W. E. Bratton, who at first
published a neutral and then
a Democratic paper. In Sep.
telnber, 1869, it was discontin-
ued because it didn't pay ex-
penses, and last week We re-
turned the Office to its first
love-the Republican party.

in this beautiful village and vicinity.
First class journals, books, teachers and
speakers claim the attention of many
citizens. Having received the advan-
tages of culture 81 their old homes,
they appreciate AN improve the same
in their new, and do much to extend
thesame to their children. Their school
house, 26x40, two stories,-now being
furnished with all modern improve
ments-is a standing proof of this, to
which may be added the fact that a
gentleman from Philadelphia is offered
their common school at SIS per month.
Having the pleasure of associating
for few days past with five or six fam
lilies, cannot forbear the remark, that
in every instance the education, the cul-
ture, the refinement and the progress
marking our age-excelled any thing /
have ever seen or ever expected to see
so near the frontier. None but the first
class journals, books and speakers need
seek for patronage at the hands of these
literary Augustaites. In thus writing
no one will understand that all are
learned and honorably aspiring in this
vicinity-as all are not in Boston or
even Oxford, England-but that an even
proportion of all whom have seen are
so. Let the leaven of these spread
through the mass, and this region will
soon fulfil the motto of our noble State,
Ad astra per Gspeid. To the stars we
travel. W.. =.

AUGUSTA AND VICINITY.

It is but repeating what has been said,
or in truth may be said of most parts
of Kansas, to say that the country
around Augusta is beautiful beyond de-
scription. If better land, building and
fencing material, timber, stone, streams,
vegetables air or climate can be named
elsewhere, we will compete against that
place for the prize, as we did two years
since in Philadelphia on fruit. While
citizens in older State have been slow
to discern the superiority of Kansas,
they are now finding it out and migrat-
ing hither beyond all precedent. A
gentleman with whom lodged lately,
told me that on one day he counted
thirty teams in one closely connected
string, and one hundred Oh the road
that day. In the streets of Augusta
(scarcely two years since the first house
was built) there are now near fifty
wagons. No one can keep the run-as
we express it--of the immigration.
From all parts it pours in. Hotels,
boarding and private houses temporary
shanties and tents are all brought into
requisition and yet hundreds are obliged
to live in their wagons. In Augusta
there are two lumber yards supplying
ut this time not more than half the de-
mand-while hundreds are drawing for
themselves from Emporia. Five family
stores and groceries combined, are SELL
ing almost day and night, and yet there
is room for more trade. The new land
Office here is beginning to run upon
as Junction City has been, so that ap-
plicants have to take their turns and
waite therefor, till patience has to en-
dure her perfect work.
Besides the material prosperity OF
Augusta and vicinity, the mental, moral
and social element is doing much credit
20 the place aud increasing the sum to-
tai of happiness most decidedly. Too
often IL this element ignored in the set
Element of new countries. Land, pro-

SELLING AT CosT.-We all know the
man who sells his things for less than
cost. He is to be found in every viii
lage. He of whom we write lived in
one of the numerous settles" of Michi-
gan. In addition to farming, he made
a little (some said much) money by SELL
ing beef. But, according to his own
statement, he always lost money by it.
While serving his customers with ten
der steaks, he would speak feelingly of
how much was lost on that "critter."
wv ell, Uncle Johnny" said custom
err, eff you lose SO much money, why
