To the Co rier.
Sedalia, the prospective Missouri Capt.
tai, is beautiful and fiourishing city on
the prairie. The inhabitants dOmiciled
there are variously estimated from 10000
to 10000, as the interests in real estate
seem to dictate to the one who gives you
the figures. The business buildings are
substantial and ornamental, looking 10
convenience and durability, as we'll as TO
beauty i'm architecture.
The business streets are narrow and not
we'll adapted to the large business that will
necessarily have TO be done il the seat OF
government of the state shall ever he
moved to Sedalia. Many Of the residences
are artistically constructed and combine
convenience and comfort with beauty OF
design.
Col Jaynes' residence i'm the south part
of the city is especially worthy of mention.
The splendid surroundings of that palatial
residence, which meet the eye in passing
along Broadway are well calculated To
make an impression that the durability
there seen marks the design of the owner to
remain and abide with forIitude the ups
and downs and properties and universities
which may overtake the city in its onward
course 10 greatness and re-
nOwn or whatever may he i'm store
for her. Col. Jaynes is an old citizen of
the city, and has been and is now the
leading spirit in all public improve
ments and has done muck for the adj
vancement OF the Queen of the Prairie"
TO the condition i'm which the 5. :. CON-
ventiOn, found her, and To which, after she
got ready, gave such cordial greetings.
Sedalia is fortunate i'm having an ener-
getic business population and cannot help
but thrive under the impetus given by
that class of men. The citizens are So
ciable, cordial and hospitable, and their
greetings of good cheer are as earnest and
sincere as their love of the city which
providence has permitted them to inherit
$4,000 will secure the capital of the
great state of Missouri for Sedalia, and that
amount can he raised when the time comes
and il is found the boom cannot be secured
without it. Superhuman efforts will be
put forward by her citizens To get il with
ont, but il is our opinion only the money
will accomplish the object sought.
We shall vote for the proposition when
ever submitted, because We have still some
of the lingering recollections OF reminis-
censes of board .ng house hash i'm Jefferson
City, and these lead us to believe that a
change would be good for the inner man.
Our first impressions of Sedalia were not
good, when We, with other weary travellers,
landed on the platform i'm the afternoon to
attend the meeting of the $. $. convention
and We made some complaint, but
the cordial greetings and the
open-handed hospitality displayed
by the good citizens, soon persuaded us
that the apparent neglect, if neglect At all,
was of but short duration, and that the
future capital" had fully redeemed her
self in the eyes of all who were SD fertH-
tunate a. to attend.
The country around Sedalia is one OF
the most fertile and productive anywhere
seen. and the broad prairies stretching out
as Tar as the eye can scan, will prove
efficient feeders TO the fast filling up popu-
ialion of the city.
1t is but justice 10 say that Sedalia has
very many advantages not enjoyed by the
citizens of other cities i'm the state, and that
those who have made their homes there
will DO well to remain.
The newspapers in Sedalia are well con-
Quoted, sprightly. and uphold with energy
and ability all the legitimate interests OF
the city. Their advertising columns dis
playing with commendable zeal the many
attractions i'm business, and facilities of
commerce which go to make up and keep
alive the onward march OF any community.
