Usage Correspondence.

Usage TOWNSHIP, July Is, 1888.
Sirs.-I want to tell you and the readers OF
the REGISTER that things are rel hot over here
In the corners ofthe four counties. You bet the
Modocks are going to build large city In
about fifteen minutes or longer. We are going
to put the town all over l6o acres OF land and
we want to put 1t on while it is hot SO that it
will spread nicely and even. 1t seems to lie q
settled fact now that the railroad will break or
the sharp corners of the four counties. We had
a rousiny big town meeting at the Valley Bap-
list church on last Saturday, and we all meet
again to make a final finish of the matter you
bet. Iwant to say to business men and capital
lists that here is graud opening for any one to
go in ON their muscle; there is not another sueh
opening in southern Kansas for good, big
business town to-day. As this corner town is.
you SIC, about rs or 80 miles from the four
county seats, and in an old settled aud rich
farming country. / think, taking all things
into consideration, the Usage Valley is the best
part of southern Kansas that have seen, and
have been over most Of the country south Of us.
Our soil can't be beat anywhere, aud the three
tributaries Of the Usage river furnish an abund-
ance of water and timber Then, we have the
best society, both Of old and Young people that
have ever seen in any country; all are indus
trious, kind, demonstrating people7 Our crops
are as fine this season as any man could wish,
excepting wheat, and are In fine shape. 1t will
pay any man who lives away any distance, to
ride through our part of Allen county, and it is
the same In the other counties. l guess you
will think I am gushing lit e; sell.
just come over and will show you the gush
part. My latch string is always.visible outside
and nary big dog lyin: around it. Nasty is
played out at the Confederate Corners in Ken

In the spring We regret that Mr. Reynoids

The Band boys excursion on Thursday even

AYERS C,THARrrc Pills are the best
Of ell pargativcs for family use. They
are the product OF long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tons, proves them the best and most
efIectual purgativc Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use. and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person. knowing their virtues, will
employ them. when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery Of life. Mild, searching and
efectual. they are especially adapted
to the needs OF the digestive apparatus,
arrangements OF which they prevent
and cure, IL timely taken. They are
the hest and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened c0nstitu-
tons, where a mild but eifcctual
cathartic Is required.
