To Tourists.

No portion Of the continent Of America
presents so much Of grandeur, beauty and
marvellous interest to the Tourist as the
famous Rocky Mountain region Of East
ern Colorado, IN the vicinity Of The beauti-
full City Of Denver. The maguifcence of
the mountain scenery is equaled only by
that Of Switzerland, and many Tourists
from abroad have pronounced Colorado
scenery superior even to that Of the Alps.
The popular resorts in the mountains,
famed alike for their grand surroundings
and their magical waters, are daily becom-
ing recognized as the most delightful IN
America for either health or recreation
Hundreds of people, tired Of the resorts of
the East, are going to spend the summer
in the grand old Rocky Mountains amid its
charming parks, majestic snOw-clad peaks,
grand canons, clear sky and magic atmos-
phere. The popular Kansas Pacific Rall-
wav. with its steel rails and automatic air
brakes, Is the favorite Tourist Route, and
the only line running Pullman cars from
Kansas City to Denver. Low round trip
rates from all Eastern cities. Descriptive

S. S. Encampment.

The Interstate S. S. Encamp-
ment, held on the Loveland camp
grounds, last week and week before,
was not as largely attended as was
anticipated, owing to the railroad
strikes, which prevented many from
leaving home, lest they might be IN
able to get back again. Still there
was quite a large attendance, the av-
erage daily number on the grounds
being probably 500, while on the
opening day, Temperance day, when
Francis Murphy was expected to be
present) and the two Sundays during
the Enoampment there we're from
5000 to 1000 people present.
We had the pleasure of spending
a few hours on the grounds on Mon
day of last week. and found it a de-
IightfuI place. The center Of the
grounds is a broad and elevated
plateau, nearly level, which is sur
rounded on all sides by neat, two
story wooden cottages, and square
wall tents of canvas, which are very
comfortable to live in. In the cen
ter of the plateau is a large wooden
structure called the Auditorium,
open at the sides, with a platform at
one end for the speakers and choir.
It has seats for about 1900 people.
In other parts of the grounds, which
contain in all about 60 acres, are
several rustic chapels, where sepa-
rate services are held while the main
exercises are going on in the Audi
torium. The grounds are beautifully
shaded by tall trees, and a large and
commodious frame Hotel has been
built this season, where visitors are
entertained with good food and
lodgings at reasonable prices. Good
water is plenty and convenient, and
there is a fine view of the Little
Miami river and valley from the
plateau of the grounds. The L. NJ
and Marietta railroads both run
within short distance of the
grounds, and a bridge has been built
across the river to accommodate pas.
sengers by the latter road. Good
fishing and bathing may be enjoyed
in the waters of the beautiful L. NJ,
river, which runs near the grounds,
and altogether we do not know a
pIeasanter place, to spend q week OF
two in rusticating during the hoi
weather.

Ex-Governor Woodford in
mississippi.

Some time ago it was announced
that the eloquent Stewart L. Wood
ford, of New York, was invited to
address the students of the State
University of Mississippi. The in
vitation was accepted, and the fol-
lowing is what the Vicksburg Her
aid, a Democratic paper, has to say
about his address:
"Some time since one of the liter
ary societies of the State University
invited Governor Stewart L. Wood
ford, of New York, to deliver the an
nual Grafton. The Governor accept
ed the invitation, and last Wcdnes
day delivered one of the best and
most scholarly pieces ever listened to
in this State. Some of our extreme
papers were of the opinion that as
Gov. Stewart /. WOodford is q Re
publican, the young gentlemen made
mistake in selecting him to deliver
the address. The result proves that
the students were right. Gov. Wood
ford captivated his hearers by his
speech, and they captured him by
their kindness. At this result we
are delighted. At the same time, al
most, that Governor Woodford de-
| livered an address at Oxford, Sena-
| tor Spoford, of Louisiana, delivered
one to the alumni of Harvard, with
most fattering effect. The feeling
created by these speeches is the one
both sections of the Union should
cultivate, but particularly the South.
It is ably summed up in Governor
| Woodford s closing sentence "God
bless Mississippi; God bless my own
native State, New York, and may
| God bless the Union, the common
mother of all. While at Oxford,
! Governor Woodford was a guest of
Chancellor Stewart part of the time,
and during the rest of it he was
entertained by Senator and Mrs.
Lamar. He was warmly received by
the students, congratulated and pet
ted by the ladies, and highly admir-
ed by all who were so fortunate as
to hear his address.

Land Titles.

We would warn all farmers to
look to their land titles. There are
many things which can throw a
cloud over a mans claim to his land,
and while life and health are enjoy
ed, save yourselves from annoying
litigation in old age. Errors In de
scriptiOns frequently occur IN max
ing out deeds. See if your deeds
agree with the land you are occupy
ing, and suppose you own. Those
engaged in furnishing abstracts Of
title inform us that there are de-
fects IN the deeds and titles TO near
" one third Of all the land in the
country. By carefully watching your
deeds, and preserving the corners Of
your land, many of the most harsss-
ing lawsuits can be avoided. Though
courts require a strict compliance in
all the provisions Of law IN tax titles,
yet when It comes to the plain ques-
ton Of the legality Of the tax deeds,
the courts sustain the power of the
State to authorize the sale of lands
for delinquent taxes. So every man
should annually not only pay his
taxes, but exercise vigilance to see
that by some mistake a part or all of
his land is not sold for taxes. If
mortgages are to be paid off see that
satisfaction be legally entered on the
records.
There is a penalty for a neglect to
enter satisfaction, yet frequently the
mortgagee lives out of the State, the
money is sent to him and the mort
gage remains on record; the only
evidence of its being paid is q very
deficient receipt, which is subject to
be lost, destroyed or forgotten
Again, a man is frequently embar-
rassed and puts his property into
mems hands for safe keeping. In
this case bave ample private con
tracts to save you from loss in case
Of sudden death, or change in the
friendship of the one you put the
most confidence in. There are various
ways clouds may come over a man s
title to his property, and while
health, witnesses, and remedy is at
hand, attend to your deeds Iowa

The Republican State Convention,
held at Cleveland last week, was one
Of the largest and most harmonious
ever held in the State. The Presi-
dents policy was fully and enthusi-
astically endorsed, and a capital tic
kot nominated. Judge West, our
candidate for Governor, has no supe-
rior in character and ability among
the public men of Ohio, and his tri
umphant election is not doubted by
those who are most capable of fore
casting the political future.
The platform, nominations, speech
of Judge West, and other proceed
ings of the Convention, will be found
on our inside pages.

Letter from T. RaveIing.

CARTHAGE, No, July 50, 1877.
DEAR NEWS Every man in Carthage can not
sit under his own "vine and fig tree" but he can
sit under his vine and peach tree.
Nest of the town lots are acre or half acre lots,
and filed with fruit trees, which at present hang
full Of fine fruit.
MI Peter Hill took me through the grounds
where were peach trees bending to the ground
with ripe fruit of Halcs' Early-trees with five to
ten bushels of peaches each. Plum trees twenty
feet in height almost breaking down with large
blue and yellow plums. Peach trees loaded with
beautiful pyramidical fruit-grapes, apricots, &c.
In fact southern Kansas and southern Missouri
have never had larger fruit crop-except OF ap-
pies, which are not plenty.
Wild plums are to be had by the wagon load
merely for the picking. Peaches sell for one dol
lar per bushel.
Large quantities of small fruits are raised about
Carthage, and find ready sale in this and the ad-
joining mining towns Of Joplin, Minersyille, Webb
City and Short Creek or Galena.
In these mining towns something like $4,000
persons are making their living directly or indi-
recy from the produce of the lead and zinc mines.
Joplin has all the airs of a city-fnely paved
streets, gas, fine business blocks of brick and
stone, palatial Hotels and TIE usual amount of
Opera q Houses and Banks, ''EaTo" and National.
Before many years Jasper county, Mo-, will be
filed with mining towns interspersed with fine
farms and fruit orchards.
Carthage, the county seat, is one Of the hand
soonest towns in the southwest-a nice place we
should think to live in, and certainly pleasant to
rest at when tired of T. RAFELING.
