The Georgetown Sentinel derives
considerable comfort from the fact
that, in the next Congressional Con
vention of this district, the counties
of Adams, Brown and Pike will hold
the balance of power, and, by uniting
their forces, viii be able TO name the
candidate of the Convention. The
number of delegates to which the
several counties will be entitled is as
follows: Adams, %; Brown, 81;
Highland, 80; Pike, 19; Ross, A.
Heretofore, Ross and Highland,
united, had the power to outvote the
other three counties, but now the
boot is on the other leg. Still, it
will be close enough to make the
contest exciting and somewhat doubt
ful-Highland and Ross having IA
votes, while the other three counties
have only 78. We still have faith in
the ability of some adroit Highland
statesman to make a combination
that will carry off the prize.

to the satisfaction of the Scioto Val
ley R. r. Co. that it would pay them
to build the road on the above basis.
The business that would be thrown
on their main line by the construc-
ton of the branch to Hillsboro would
be very large. A large part of th&
railroad freight and travel between
Portsmouth and Cincinnati, and
Jackson and Cincinnati, would pass
over the Hillsboro route, as it would
be much shorter than the present
route via the NJ. & G. r. R.-The
distance from Portsmouth to Gin
cinnati via Hillsboro would be only
121 miles, and from Jackson to Gin
einnati via Hillsboro only 120 miles.
Then there would be the through
freight and passenger traffic of the
Chesapeake & Ohio R. R., which
would take the Hillsboro route to and
from Cincinnati as soon as the road
was extended from Portsmouth to
Huntington. In addition to all this
there would be the immense coal
business which the road would com
mand from the jackson coal region
to Cincinnati, as the jackson coal
would then be the nearest to Cincin-
natl by many miles, and of equal or
superior quality to that obtained
from the NJ. &C. r. R.
Here, then, is another chance for
our town and county to secure at a
small outlay, what we have SO long
desired-a direct road to the Jack
son coal region, and ultimately a
connection with the Chesapeake &
Ohio R. R., giving us through line
to the Atlantic, instead of being at
the end of a mere switch. Hillsboro
alone subscribed over 100000 to
the Southern Ohio R. r. four years
ago, and she can now certainly raise
$4,000 for a road which will accom-
plish the same object.
Now is the time to set the ball in
and we suggest that a meet
ing of our citizens be held soon to
consider what steps should be taken
to push on the enterprise.

Correspondence of the News.

NEwTos, KAN, Nov. "a, 1876.

?
Mr. BoARDMAN-Dear Sir: Having
an opportunity of writing you a few
lines in order to renew my subscrip-
ton for the News, / take the liberty
of penning few words about this
country, and what brought me here.
1 came to this State last March,
when the country WAS somewhat in
an uproar about the 'Relief business,
which was occasioned by the grass
hoppers. That soon died away, as
Spring appeared, and nothing more
was heard except the reverberating
echoes of some grumbler, who did
not get as rich through the distribu-
ton as his neighbor. But the March
and,April breezes blew these thoughts
away, and ushered in the Spring.
1 have travelled over the greater
part OF the State since 1 have been
here. Though loose and single-hand-
ed, I took up whatever came before
me in the form of labor or occupa-
ton, planting corn, harvesting and
the like, until at the present time 1
am found, in the schoolroom, dis
charging my duties as a Teacher.
Teachers wages here are low COM
pared with those of the Eastern
States Yet this (Harvey) county
is only 4 years old, and has sixty sew
en (60 Schools in running operation
all new School Houses, all neatly
furnished with the latest style of i'm
proved furniture fit for the school
room.
Newton, our county seat, is situat-
ed near the center of the county, and
is a fourishing commercial town of
about 1000 inhabitants. It is well
supplied with business houses of all
descriptions, and is a central grain
market. 1t is also q division station
on the A. T. and Santa Fe r. R., the
Wichita branch intersscting at this
point. There are probably from 4
to 10 buildings, on an average, go
ing up continually. There is also a
large Grist Mill being built by firm
of merchants from Illinois.
Land is cheap for cash here, butts
rapidly raising in price. The soil is
deep black sandy loan, resembling
that bordering our streams in Ohio,
called bottom land. This land can
be bought at from IS to SO per
acre, according to location pur-
chased a quarter section Q60) acres
two miles west of Newton, for $3.50
in cash.
Small grain is the staple product
Wheat averages 20 to 25 bushels per
acre, Oats 40 to so bushels. Sever
al fields of wheat in this neighbor-
hood average each from 400 to five
hundred acres. The man whom 1
helped 20 days in harvest, raised
about 5000 bushels of wheat and
about 1000 bushels of oats.
Time and space compel me to
close. 1 should say in conclusion, if
any of your readers are seeking new
homes, now is the time and here is
the place-the sooner the better.
You may publish this letter if you
desire, as I stand responsible for all
it contains. Yours respectfully,
JOHN WEBER.
P. S. My chief aim in coming to
this country was on account of my
health, being somewhat troubled
with throat disease. 1 find that in
this high latitude 1 enjoy better
health than 1 did in Ohio, with all
the medicine I took. Here 1 take
none, at least have not thus far
