LETTER FROM WILSON COUNTY.


ALTOONA, TGf %. 1870.
Allow me to speak a word throug.l
the columns of your paper for this place
and vicinity. We have several gentle
men here from Emporia, and they, car
rying with them the spirit and determi-
nation of the builders of your beautiful
city, are endeayoring to build up town
here of which Southern Kansas shall be
proud. Altoona is situated in the Yer
digris valley, near the center of one of
the best counties in this part of the State.
The land in the vicinity is rich and pro-
ductive. Timber and coal are abundant.
In fact we have everything that could
be wished to build up good town. All
that is necessary is the right kind of men
TO take hold of the matter and move IL
onward--men that are filed with the
Western spirit of progress, and know
no such word as fail.
We have been doing wonders SO far.
We have four stores and one hotel, be-
sides residences in proportion. The
erection of another hotel 25x25 feet, two
stories high, viii soon be commenced.
Also a Wholesale and retail drug estab-
lishment 20x40 feet, and two-and-a-half
stories high; one cooper shop, one
blacksmith shop, and two residences are
In process of construction. Others will
be commenced soon. We are also going
TO engage In the newspaper business. A
frst-class Office has been ordered from
Cincinnati. A man of much experience
has been engaged to take charge of our
paper. We propose to make it paper
that we will not be ashamed to send to
our friends both in Kansas and in the
East.
The advance guard Of the spring en-
igration has already arrived, and the
tramp of the dusty column of emigrants
may be heard in the distance. Let them
comet We welcome them to the great
State OF Kansas and the beautiful county
Of Wilson.
To persons wishing to get land in this
part of Kansas, would say, II You
come here you will find as fine body of
land as you ever saw, and will have no
desire to go farther. If you wish to To-
cate in healthy and growing young
town, where there is plenty of water,
fuel, and building material of all kinds,
and one that has the best prospect Of be-
ing the county seat, at no distant day,
you had better call at Altoona before To-
eating elsewhere. : We will deed you
lots free of cost, to build on, and give
you all the encouragement possible.

surrounding country, can be obtained

1.-The Mystery Of Edwin brood, wea.e told
gave its author more trouble than any Of hi,
former works, He complained Of this, per
haps, with . sad presags Of the truth. He lad
he thought, told too much Of the story in tht
carly numbers, and his thoughts did not foN
20 freely as Of yore. It will remain incomplete
forever, and the fourth part Of the story, al

their author has introduced 10 the

Of his work giving him trouble, we may be
sure that the cause prompting the remark vas
more 1aborionsly the taak Of giving the pub
Lie his very best. A great aftist, who ouca
painted the portrait while be was in the Set
OF writing on8 Of the most popular Of his
stories, relates that be was satoniahed at the
trouble Dickens seemed to take over his
work, at the number ol forms in which he
would write down shought before be bit
out the one which seemed to his fastidoua
fancy the best, and at the comparative
ema1lnesa Of the amount Of manuscript eneh
days sitting scanned to have produced Those,
too, Who have seen the original mxnuscsipts
Of bis works, many Of which he had bound and
kept at his residence At Gad's Hill, describe
while it Is veil known that the quaint sur
names OF his characters, concerning which es-
says have been written, were the result ct
much painstaking. Dickens, with = genius
which might have justified his trusting
IT implicitly and solely, placed bis
chief reliance Oh his own har5
labor. It is said that when he saw a strange
Or odd name on shop board or in walking
through country village OF town, he entered
it in his pocket book, and added it to lis te-
serve list. Then, runs the story, when he
wanted striking eurname for now character,
he had but to take tIe first half Of one real
name, and to add to it The second half Of an
other. to produce the exact effect upon the
eye aul ear Of the reader he desired
