the county had more rain than we had
here, aud they say that corn was new
er better. The only profit in raising
corn is in having stock to feed it to,
as hogs sold from A to cents per
pound during the year, and cattle
from 3 to cents. Some farmers
have but just finished making hay.
This is a crop that is greatly neglect
ed here it is left until almost all 9th
er work is DONE and almost natures
on the ground before it is cut, conse.
quently contains but little substance.
We have had no frost here yet, though
we have had some cool weather. The
winters are generally open here so
that man can plow almost every
month. We have some very severe
weather but it lasts but a short time
usually. Coal is worth about $3.50
or Sc. per ton l burn wood this costs
about $40 year. Wages have been
good. Teams receive $500 per day I.
single hands from s1.50 to $500 per
day. Carpenters receive from $3.50
to $500. Work Of all kinds has been
plenty. One great. advantage here,
everything raised is ready sale and
for cash. ts>.''.s'J
Considering all the Disadvantages
together with the many advantages
of farming in Kansas. / have decided
that person with the same capital
can do better here than there.3 In
fact l am better satisfied with the
country here each year that l stay.

success in all their undertakings, l am

has been re-shingled. New windows
will be put in, and Of modern style.
Mike Dunkle has bought small
farm back over the hill toward Cher.
ry Greek bottom from DR.. Burkitt's
farm, and has a part of it in wheat
this fall.
Isaac Cartwright wears a smile as
broad and as long as bran new
eleven pound ooy will warrant.
This time it is Nettie Heasly. The
man whose good fortune it is to call
her wife is Geo. Pitts, now of Ridgway.
Our best and heartiest good wishes
are exten led.
Mrs. Eliza Ferry, wife of Ephraim
Ferry, who for long time has been
sick and charge on the town, died

Poor women Her life was a bitter
one.
The Festival at Clariugton Church
for the benefit of the same to go to the
pastor on salary account was success.
The road from Clarington to Button.
wood along by the creek is nearing
completion.
Platform dances seem to have been
having boom out in this section this
summer Not just in our midst but
rather in the vicinity.
Our new minister's name IS w. E.
Frampton. We hope he may secure
and bear the good will of all the peo-
pie he comes amongst as a fellow man
and fellow helper to life exalted
and pure. There is no harm at all in
lending the preacher helping band.
The world would wag very lily indeed
if it were not for ministers end their
work. Take religion from the state
and real estate will depreciate in value
and human life become cheap.

will be remains to be seen. Presuma.
bly, as much as is generally.
Coleman Mill is not running on
account of absence of logs in the pond,
There is stock in the run, but there
has been no rise sufficient to brackett
with for some time.

KANSAS LETTER.

Thinking letter from this part of
the country might be of interest to at
Y least few of the readers Of your pa
pers, l venture to write. l have re.
Gently had the pleasure of hearing a
sermon delivered by Rev. j. F. Hill
formerly Of Tionesta now of this Co.
1t always makes my heart rejoice TO
see some one (though but stranger)
from my old home. The emigration
to this county during the past sum.
mer and fall has been greater than at
any former period since l have been
here. The Government and school
lands have all been settled upon, and
| but little Railroad, and remains un.
sold. The latter having almost doub-
led in price since l came here. I'm
proved farms of so acres which could
have been purchased for about $400
then, can not now be bought for less
than $1,000; 5000 would cover all i'm
provements that have been made
since such places were for sale at $500.
The time is fast drawing on when per.
sons with but small means will find it
about as difficult to purchase a farm
here as in older settled countries.
There are occasionally good farms
that can be bought cheap, where the
owners desire a change of residence
caused by desire to go back to their
old homes, or have become disgusted
with the winds here, (and it isn't a
very desirable country to be in where
the wind takes a notion to hold sway.
And this is my greatest objections to
this country, but when there is a
calm | forget all about clustering
Kansas" and think of it only as "Sun-
ny Kansas" Some perhaps become
discouraged, having failed to reach
the height Of their aspiration and will

about 70 cents per bu. Oats yielded
from 70 10 lOO ou. per acre; averag-

The Atmosphere in Mexico.

The strangest feature of Monterey
to Northern eyes is the clearness OF
the air, such as that which made me,
as stood on the Mount of Olives,
think the Dead Sea within an hours
walk, tn ough I found it days ride.
Among the strange aerial phenomena
here I class the foothills standing
out so prominently that you think
you can see round their corners and
into the interspaces between them
and the secondary ranges. The
most distant peaks, too, seem pressing
forward to peep over the shoulders of
those nearer. Everywhere the lights
and shades contrast no less than
those of electric illuminators. On
the whole, the atmospheric brilliancy
surpasses whatever is known in the
North as much as our North ern sky
surpasses the London fogs, where
men are forever doubtful whether
their celestial luminary is the sun or
the moon.-Cor. New York Post.

El Paso Herald: A man by the
name of Ward, who has been con,
nected with John Tags & Co., who
run a boarding train on the Mex lean
Central railroad, says that a man
named Doyle, formerly a partner with
him as beef contractor for the Mexi-
can Central, drew $4,000 from one OF
our banks, paid his debts in this city,
and had remaining about $1400. He
was also owner of a fine gold watch
and chain, which he said was worth
5000. About that time, which was
in the latter part of last November OF
first of December, he was knocked
down on the public plaza, rendered
insensible, robbed of money and
watch, placed in box car, the door
latched, and a few days thereafter was
found in the box car, which had been
carried out west beyond Fort Yuma,
Arizona, and switched off on a side
track. A train man happened to
open the door and discovered him w.
ing on the floor of the car, emaciated
and almost dead. He is now in Ari-
IONA, without money, and unable to
get back.

The (iaineS Case.


The suit recently decided in the
circuit court in favor of Mrs. Myra
Clark Gaines for nearly two million
dollars, is for rents and revenues OF
property lying within the heart OF the
city of New Orleans, the title of which
was adjudged to Mrs. Gaines by the
United States supreme court. several
years ago. It dates back to 1872, at
the time of the death of Daniel Clark,
who had been conceded large grant OF
land by the Spanish government dur
ing it's domination in Louisiana. Mrs.
Gaines was the only heir, though she
was compelled to spend half her life
time before the courts to prove her
legitimacy. Having gained this point,
which not only involved the honor OF
her descent but her fortune, she has
gone on step by step to vindicate hef
title, and now finally at the close OF
an extended life she has gained Il
nal decision which perhaps puts for-
ever at rest her disputed claim. Inc
whole history of the case reads more
like romance than a reality, ana
has attracted the attention and gossip
of at least two generations.
