A Wrong Opinion.

Tho impression has some how got
ten out that Kansas editors, Kansas
real estate men and Kansas people,
generally, are such liars that they can
not be trusted. Now this is all a mis-
take; Kansas people are energetic and
enterprising, and by superlative ener-
gy and pluck have kept the name of
Kansas prominently before the world
for the past twenty years. We are
willing to admit that we have lied a
little about our State, but in the main,
have told the solid unvarnished truth.
Did not Kansas fight the first battle
for free soil on this continent?
Did not Kansas send nineteen regi-
ments to the war when she only had a
voting population of twenty-one thou
sand?
Did not Kansas go to the centennial
with her big corn. elegant wheat. fine
fruit and tail sunfiowers, and starte
the civilized world with her magnifi-
cent display?
Did not Kansas, with her energy en-
terprise and pluck, build equip and
put into successful operation over two
thousand miles of railroad in twelve
years
Has not Kansas built 1872 school
houses worth 1882, 425 in the past
twenty years ?
Has not Kansas built over 500 church
buildings worth two and half mill
lions, during the same time!
With million and quarter dollars
as permanent school fund; with the
State prid-ironed with railroads. n
school or q church on every hillside
metropolitan town in every county
with our universities, normal schools,
and colleges with one millioA popu-
lation and more coming in on every
train with all these accomplished
facts staring US in the face, we claim
the right to make it known to the civ
ilized world, without being accused of
going back on George Washin gton.-
EidOrddo Times.

From the Cowskin.
CoWSKIN. March I:

CowsKIN, March 20, 1873.
MIR. EDITOR Il have been looking
over your paper for an item from the
celebrated Cowskin, but | have not
found any thing yet, owing to the ex-
treme modesty of the people out here,
suppose. There is some excuse for
their not writing, and one is that the
people are the most contented and quiz
ct to be found in the county. Take it
from Hays mill up to Uncle Horace
Carpenters and about three miles
wide on each side of the Cowskin, and
YOU take in as fine a piece of land as
can be found, and the people living on
that land cannot be surpassed as
thrifty, energetic and intelligent men
and women, and they intend to keep
up their reputation for sociability and
intelligence.
The past season we have had Christ
mas and Sunday schools aud grange
suppers. In fact, everything good,
from a good dance to 4 protracted
lneeting,so that every one had chance
to be happy. The last entertainment
was al Peterson's school house by the
members of the Pleasant Hill Litera-
ry Society. They have been holding
weekly meetings through the winter.
They have fine society composed of
such men as Judge Tucker, P. Nc
Donald the Eur pean poet and debat-
er, also Carnihan, Mr.. Mccormick and
quite number of able men. The
women are represented by Mrs. King
aud daughter, Mrs. Drenon, Miss Keith
and Miss kirkpatrick and a number of
others equally as good.
The exhibition OF Thursday even
ing was a success i'll every particular.
The music, which was very fine, was
under the management of the royal
family of Kings, although there was
one little Princess that gave US some
specimens of juvenile singing and
playing that was wonderful tor child
of her age. The irrepressible Bill had
q large share of work to do, out he
filled the bill to the satisfaction of all.
Select reading and essays by Mrs.
Drenon, Miss kirkpatrick, Miss Bow
man and Mr.. Mccormick were of a
superior order of readings. The Null
ligan Guards by Capt. Chef King &
Co, was good. The singing by the ac-
complished musician, Miss Emma
King. was fine. But where all are so
good it is useless to particularize. |
think if they persevere for another
winter with the same material as they
have had this, the Pleasant Hill Liter
airy Club can be very appropriately
named the happy family.
Now, when you wish to spend few
hours probably come out on the Cow
skin and see the wheat fields aud the
improvements that are going on, and
talk awhile with some old grangers,
and you will see why they are SO con-
tented. Yours, &. A. W.

The Land Hunter.
He is abroad in the land.

He meaneth business.
He cometh from the east, and his
face is toward Kansas.
His ear is set to catch tue good
news of the crops.
He hath heard of the land that is
goodly, that is beautiful to look upon,
that is rich, yea the land that can be
had for little of nothing.
He hath heard of the acre of land
that maketh thirty bushels of wheat.
He hath heard of the great apples and
peaches and pears. and he hath seen
and heard from the fairs, and he hath
seen in the newspapers that the coun-
try is good and the people a success.
He hath heard that Kansas is land
flowing with milk and honey, and
that her people are happy and have
money.
He hath heard of the railroads that
have souls, and that they carry the
land hunter at reduced rates.
He hath heard that Kansas has
schools aud colleges and churches
without number.
He hath heard all this, yea, even it
hath been heard beyond the seas.
The good news of prosperity in the
west hath been carried to the east.
And the wise man of the east said
81 have seen and | have heard. | will
arise and sell that which | have and
journey west to Kansas, and add to
that which already have
And the poor man, also, who was
wise, said: 81, 100, will go west 70

And Kansas said: 81 have plenty

This paragraph has been copied into
about every paper east of Kansas to

the object of its publication is to de-

going to keep coming, at the rate of

not keep them back. Kansas is the

Letter From Rockford.
ROCKFORD. April /,

ROCKFORD, April /, 1873.
EDITOR EAGLE:-Thinking the
readers of the EAGLE would like to
hear something from Rockford, | will
give YOU a few items.
The people here are somewhat eiat-
ed over the prospect of the wheat
crop, yet frequently hear people ex-
press serious doubts in regard 10 the
coming harvest. The prospects are
so much ahead of anything ever before
seen that many seem to think this
country has overdone herself. just
think of it, only the first day Of April
and wheat from eight to twenty inches
high. | do not see how the yield of
wheat in Rockford can be less than
twenty-five bushels per acre, but sup
pose it is only fifteen bushels, and
something serious must happen to re-
duce it to that, Rockford would then
have quite a little harvest. Our town
ship trustee, George Dickinson, re-
ports 5,S23 acres of wheat. which at
fifteen bushels per acre would make
S7.345 bushels of wheat. The largest
field is that of Trickey Brothers, JAS
per and Thomas, containing 434 acres.
John Tucker. our county treasurer
elect. has 200 acres. John has also
put out large orchard this spring.
BY the time John is a candidate for
another Office think he will be re-
ported as owning farm in Rockford
worth million dollars. The smallest
wheat field in Rockford contains five
acres; fourteen fields contain more
than one hundred acres, and eighty
three fields contain less than one hun
dred acres each. 1t also shows that
ninety-seven of the farms OF the little
township of Rockford contain about
thirty-six sections, have sown wheat.
| might notice some of the finely
improved farms in this township.
Burr, Minnich, Hufbauer, Bradford.
Green, Barns, McBee. Law, Pitman,
Snider, Moon, Herren. Burnell, Be-
lew, Emery, Rathburn, Hilbert, Alley,

Carlton, Former, Sampson, ali have
farms that would require as much
space to describe as | would be al
lowed for this letter.
Mr.. Editor, Rockford has passed
the point when your correspondent
can describe all of the excellent farms
within her borders.

Horace Greelsy's Prophecy.

Yesterday was busy day with the
Santa Fe, and the road was taxed TO
its utmost capacity to accommodate
the tide of travel TO the Arkansas Val
ley. The regular through express ar
rived from Atchison and Kansas CITY
half hour late, and left for the west
with ten cars loaded to the guards.
At 6 p. m. special train of seven care
arrived from Atchison, and passed on
west, only making a short stop for
supper. This was followed by anoth-
er special of ten cars from Kansas City,
passing here at 1890 p. M. The emil
grants are from Canada, New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana. Ken
lucky, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska. This
morning several coach loads arrived
from Poitsville and the Cumberland
Valley in Pennsylvania. Horace Gree
ley's prediction made in Union Hall,
October s, 1870, that the child was
born who would see Kansas the fourth
State in the Union, bids fair to be full
filed in a very few years Common
