The Rush to Kansas and Colorado.

The indications are that the rush to
Kansas and Colorado will be greater than
ever in 1874. The shortest way to reach
the far West is through st. Louis. the
great Mississippi Valley City, of over
100000 inhabitants and thence west over
the St. Louis. Kansas City, and Northern
Short Line. which reaches all the great
land grants in the West, and runs six fast
Express trains, two more than any other
road, between the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, Rivers. This road, in the last two
years, has expended over two million dol
lars, besides earnings, in extraordinary
improvements of railway, in relaying
its line with best quality of new steel and
il ION rails. OF broad new ties, ana In pas
equipment, having substituted for
ordinary cars new reclining chair coaches,
with every appliance for comfort and safer
ty. being elegantly carpeted and fitted
with d. essing rooms, with toilet convent
ences for ladies, gentlemen and families
travelling with children, free OF any extra
chdrge. ANY tickc agent selling through
tickets TO the West will furnish tickets by
this excellent route through St. Louis,
over the st. Louis. Kansas City and North
crn Short Line. the best and shortest to
Kansas, Colorado. Nebraska, CallioIn MIA
and the great West, it being the only line
running through cars between st. Louis
and Omaha. For map circulars and time

either of whom will furnish any informa-

TO the man you select to be your repre-
sentative IN the State Legislature. You
might ms well expect clear water from

ignorant men you should blame yourselves
for laws inconsistent with reason and COM
mon sense. Verify, the coming election
is the most important of all. To have a
wise Representative in the State capitol
is more important than to have one in the

Il minority, while in the former our SUI

pend wholly upon the selection of true
ana competent men. We care not wl,etl-

Is he 4 gentleman? Is he a man with nerve

and can he do it? These and like questions,
when answered in the affirmative, should

Editor Home Journal:
Last Tuesday msrning. having just
enough stock in the N. Il C.. Railroad to
squeeze out y "frec ride took advantage
of the opportunity, and, In company with
several gentlemen from Winchester and
this vicinity, we boarded the train bound
for the Rock City. As it was the time for
the annual meeting OF the stockholders,
the cars were very much crowded, and be-
tween this place and Nashville several
..c,yil rivhters'' came on board, and VIC
were a mixed multitude. Whenever a
seat was cleared by the ''plain" oncs, the
..lusky" ones would make a rush for it,
and, when seated, would roll their big
white eyes around, 'kinder smiling" rs
much as to say, civil rights II you
please. Though the cars were very much
crowded, two dusky females occupied seat
room for four persons, and though there
was Il spacious baggage car, they had
about l50 pounds of baggage stored on one
seat. Perhaps they paid for it. Conduct,

acres in corn will not make an average OF

CoLoRED PIC-NIC.-The colorcd people
had Il picnic last Saturday, at Sharp's
Springs, at which a negro named Pete
Sanders. without any provocation, cut 4
path through Il crowd OF negro men. The
following persons were badly cut, viz:
Tom. Custer. on the arm and face; Lewis
Garner, OH the head, chest and arm; Bill
Hud, on the shoulder; and All Smith was
knocked down with Il rock by Marcus
~llandley. Smith then recovered his per-
pendicular and knocked his aesailant down
with a rock. We are informed that the
two negrocs-Petc Sanders and Marcus
Handlcy-raiscd the row without any sort
of provocation, and for the avowed pur-
pose of breaking up the picnic. Their
conduct shows that they are at heart dcs-
pcradoes, and that they went on the
grounds with murder IN their hearts. The
law annet be too severe on such cool
handed demonism. Let them suffer its
extreme penalty.

tirement of my farm, having tasted enough

do not necessarily contribute to the hap
piness OF their possess0r, yet the open,
