of facctlous drummers who were on q
train Of cars that were going worry slowly
up sharp grade near Burlington, VT,
made considerable fun Of the conductor
for the slowness with which tho cars
wero moving, and began to amuse them
selves by jumping off the rear car and
around the train. Soon, how.
ever, the cars reached the top Of the hill,
and began to spin Of at rapid rate.

Lyon COUNTY.

By reference to the report OF the
Kansas State Board OF Agriculture We
find that our county Is not bankrupt.
We have some things over which we
may take courage. We ought to have
a larger population, and would have
bat for the spectators who hold so
much of our land, keeping it ont of
the hands OF actual settlers. Thou
sands of acres of our best lands are
now lying idle because non-residents
are holding and demanding for them
almost fabulous prices. Lyon county
ought to be among the first counties
in the State in point of population,
and would il the land had not been
gobbled. As It is, Lyon stands on the
list, eighteenth in population. Mont
gomery, Labette, Neosho and Chero-
kee, ali new counties, outranlz US in
this respect. Howard is almost equal.
But in some other respects Lyon ranks
with the leading counties of the State.
AS to stock and products We find some
encouraging figures. Take fruit, for
Instance, and Lyon stands seventh,
having produced in 1872, 4O,ls3 BUSH
els. We may expect q nuch larger
yield this year. She Is also seven in
the number of horses owned, falling
but very little below Shawnee and
Miami counties. As TO cattle, Lyon
stands fourth, having 20,7so head.
Taking the number OF acres under
into consideration, we COM
pare faVorably with any OF the coun-
ties in the production of corn, wheat
and oats. Lyon county produces as
much per acre as any county in the
State. Money may be scarce at this |
time, but farmers can make a living in |
Lyon county by n little labor and fru-
galIty. This is destined to be one of |
the hest counties in the State.

LYON COUNTY HORTICULTURAL
SOCIETY.

ENPORIA, May 30th, 1874.
Society met as usual at the court
house, Mr.. Milliken in the chair.
The first business before the society
was a report from the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the tree seller
spoken of in our last report. Il gen.
tleman by the name OF Smith was
present representing the said party
and requested delay in the proceed
ings of the society until next week,
when the peddIer would be present.
After some remarks pro and con the
society called for report from its
committee and also decided to rcpress
the report till the gentleman had made
his defense.
The committee OH premiums then
reported. With one alteration the re-
port was accepted and the committee
discharged.
After some talk it was decided that
as circumstances were unfavorable the
society had better postpone It's straw
berry and rose fair till next year.
There were many fine plants eXhib-
tied by the president, among which
was a very fine Ageratum, a sage with
varigated foliage and pitcher plant.
He also brought four varieties OF straw
berries. Other persons brought hand
some boquets of roses and other flow
ers, so that altogether the room pre-
scented the most horticultural aspect
that it has this year.
Meeting adjourned till June 9th, at

Street.-The Duh monotony OF a
long continued peace was broken one
day this week by little skrimmage.
A light weight would shoot off his
mouth at a heavier man, and continued
SO to do, until the biggest man turned
red in the face ard proceeded to choke
the little man, contrary to the peace
and dignity of the city. The angry
man also knocked ledger or its own
desk to the disgust of its keeper. The
city treasury was enriched to the
amount of six dollars by this little bit
of fun, and we get local.

SOMETHING ABOUT GOING EAsT.-Thc
shortest possible route between the Great

over the St. Louis, Kansas City and
Northern Short Line. This road has gain
ed surprising Importance by reason of
immense expenditures in the last two
years, OF over two millions dollars, be-
sides earnings, in improvements Of road
way, in re-laying their line with best
quality Of new steel and iron rails, on
broad new ties, and by substituting for
ordinary cars, new reclining chair coaches,
elegantly cirpeted and fitted, with dress
Ing rooms with toilet conveniences for Ia
dies, gentllnen and families travelling with
children, Icith0Ut any extra charge. This
line runs six fast express trains between
the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, two
more than any other road, and connects
with all the great through lines East,
West, North and South. 1t is remarkably
exempt from accidents by reason OF adopt
ing every modern appliance for comfort,

ONLY HALF THE TRUTH.-The great
beauty and loneliness Of Kansas at this
season of the year attracts not only the
attention but exciteS the admiration
of all. The correspondent of the St.
Louis Journal, who was with the party
of excursionists from New YORK,
which lately passed through here, thus
notes the impression created on their
minds:
"The New Workers occupied mostly
the platform, the younger ladies the
cab Of the locomotive, and the young
gentlemen OF the party the COW catch
er, in passing northward through the
Indian Territory and Kansas, SO desir.
Gus were they to see the condition of
the country. The great change from
partial civilization TO civilization and
industry was 80 marked that it was
unnecessary TO call attention to the
State lines. The cities of Parsons,
Emporia and q dozen others so i'm
pressed the capitalists with the enter
prise of Bleeding Kansas, as to cause
frequent retirements from the platform
to quiet corner of the cars, to discuss
the facts given them about the coun-
try, and they generally decided that
the newspapers, instead of exaggerat-
ing, had only told about one half of
the real truth concerning the State"
