inee that he be given ample time to pre-
pare for the fight. The campaign should
be thorough and vigorous; it should be
commenced early and kept up till the
polls are closed Oh election day

WATER.
BUILDING, FENCING
AND Fuel.

One of the special advantages which
this county possesses over the treeless
plains of Western Kansas is found in
its timber, coal and stone. The average
width of timber belts is half a mile or
more, and the quality is excellent, fur
nishing reasonable supply for all prac.
teal purposes, as is shown by the fact
that the price of good hard wood in the
towns seldom exceeds So so per cord. In
the eastern and less timbered portion of
the county coal of fair quality is mined
in quantities sufficient for domestic
purposes, and will no doubt be devel-
oped as the wants of the county require.
For building and fencing stone of an
excellent quality abounds in many local
tiles, yet 50 disposed as to interfere but
little with the cultivation of the soil,

PRODUCTS.

As elsewhere stated this county is we'll

growing of wheat, corn, fruit, and to
stock raising; all of which succeed ad-

both for pasturing and for hay-offers to
the stock raiser a most inviting field, and
makes this one of the most certain and
