We HAVE been orer much of the

JACKSON County with her rills an d
rivers, her fertile lands and praries,
her forests and her everglades, her
grazing and agricultural lands, her
fruits and flowers, her salubrious eli
mate and gorgeous scenery altogether
make it almost paradisical and second
only to Old Douglas.
JACKSONVILLE, Ashland, Medfcrd,
and other towns in the county are
making more headway than one would
at first suppose.

curing some good immigration, and
yet as III Douglas County We find some
who arc like the canine that slept III

Some say sstoo many people here now,a .
but if you could see the untitled lands
lying in waste all over This vast terri
tory, where many industrious hands
could find profitable employment, GER
tainly we are forced to conclude that
this country ought to be, and will be,
the heritage of homeless and landless
IN other states east of the Rockies.

TIE Railroad on reaching this val
Icy gave an unhealthy impulse to spec

Legislature in the palmy days of Ben.
Holiday, give US about $50 miles of
Holidays monopoly and We will be
satisfied. They have it, and the wis
dom of that Solon has not yet been
verified. A wealthy proprietor said
the other day that the stage line was
more beneficial to this county than the
railroad. OF this We are not sure, but
that eyery one who expected to grow
into better circumstances because of
the railroad, some Of them, at least,
have been sadly disappointed.
TIE "Beall side track" trouble still
continues, but We are led to believe
tiat the track will be laid, and remain
intact, as it should be.

dedication of the Redmen's hall on the
18th. Was much pleased with this
u.lique and alt & nal order The hall
was packed by very appreciative and
c9mmendable audience. The music by
the choir was transcendental, its pathos
wooing the G.eat Spirit. The two
bands, in attendance, Cottonwood and
the Jacksonville 10th merit medals for
the sweet music discoursed en- that
memorable occasion. The Hierogly-
phical dedication Of the Temple was,
beyond my ken, exceps that com mon
to another order. 1t ma, be the best
order III the world, still would class it
under the genus Cimex, and it must
