HIAwATHA kASs., Sept IL, 1877.
EDITOR CHIEF I'm your article ON .Kansas' On
ward March, of last week, there are two er-
rors that desire to correct The statement that
made in relation to the sale of lands by firm
shat for the seven months ending that day, (Aug.
3lst, 1871 had sold fifteen Thousand of
land in Northern Kansas and Southern Nebraska
average of eighty per day for every business
day during that time In looking over our books
SINCE notice that but three parties bought than
leo each while the larger portion of the sales
were made in 80 acre tracts which would show that
they purchased by men of small means, for ac-
tual settlement The sales for September have been
larger than for any month previous All that was
said about this County is literally true, and much
more might be added. The farmers of this County
will have 900 head of hogs ready for market by the
r st Of March, which, at low prices, ought to realize
n quarter of million of dollars We estimate the
balance of the total products of Brown County, for
the year 1877 at one million five hundred thousand
dollars. There about sixteen hundred families in
the County This would give average of over
nine hundred dollars each family. Estimating the
average living expenses of each family at five hum
dred dollars, which is high estimate, and the net
gain of wealth to the County would lie hundred
thousand dollars. Nor does this show all the increase
in wealth. During the year, a great deal of labor
has been expended upon the FARMS in the way per-
manent improvements. Groves, hedges and orchards
have all been increasing in value; and this silent
gain is not shown in any estimate of the prolncts Of
the County. In conclusion, would say that during
my residence of twenty years in the State. have
never many evidences of q real. substantial
prosperity When the people learn to pay rs they co.
and to avoid debt the material prosperity of the State
will be placed beyond question.

n The Lssvenworth Press seems to have
been established for the same purpose that the
Troy .Bslistis wss-to find fault with everything
that does not bring grist to its mill, reform
things generally, lament the existing corruption
of politics, and to purify everything that will
not pay IL price to be let alone. The editor Of
the Press for years edited the most rabid Demo-
crstio paper in the State. 1t is appropriate that
he should endorse the political soundness of the
traitor Hayes, and find fault with every Repub-
