FREMONT, Jan. 26.
Fear this fine weather will last too
long to benefit our wheat prospects and
the anticipations of our first crop in
Kansas. But stock is doing we'll.
Fat hogs are scarce.
There has been more and better i'm
provements made in Fremont this year
than for several years before, principal
| among which we notice, in the south
part of the township, just south of the
Neosho river, the dwelling of Perry Ed
wards; stylish cottage, indicating taste
and leading US to judge that the occu-
pants lived at home. Then we have, on
the east side, the residences of Messrs.
Robson and belong, and tenant house
on the stock farm of Mr..
Hamilton, recently of Illinois.
We have not inspected them, but are
told they are good buildings. Then, be-
tween Plumb and Taylor creeks, we see
very good small house put up by Mr.
Anterior, and the improvements of Mr.
Knox. Immediately north we come to
the residence of S. p. Cady, built late last
year, who is thought to be better known
in the time he has been here than any
man in Kansas. Next the house that
we see from the state road, west, between
Taylor and Dow creeks, is the substan-

up a very good. small one-and
a half story house ON the hill above the
Central school house, and Call, from
Philadelphia, one near Governs and two
were built and farms opened on Still
man creek, with a good house above P.
b. Maxson, and McComb's, on the Raw
ling's land with great many smaller
ones, which dot the landscape as we
can see from almost any elevated point,

north part of our town that we do not

The Central Sunday school festival
was grand success, pecuniarly, the re-
ceipts being about $54 1t was rather
unpleasant owing to the large crowd and
small room, but all seemed to enjoy be-
ing squeezed, and as good order prevailed
as could be well maintained with such a
crowd, except in few cases. We no
ticed few would be young men to whom
the term gentlemen could not be applied,
and we wish our friends from distance
to understand that they do no not belong
to Central. We know some of them.
but il was not at our solicitation, and we
would much prefer the room for respec
table persons than to have their COM

We felt the need of a larger house again
as we do almost every Sunday.
