houses, barns, and fencing. There has
been thousands Of acres of land fenced in
sight of my place since ! came here three
years ago. Land has advanced greatly.
That. which could have been bought for
about six dollars per acre then. you can't
buy now short of twenty dollars, and from
that TO twenty-five per acre. The old
settlers see that their chance of getting
hay and pasture from the spectators is
about played. so they have commenced
buying and fencing wherever they can
get q piece of land. That is one of the
causes for land advancing as well as by
reason of the new corners and the good
crops that we have had for the last three
years. 1t won't be long until people that
have been in the habit of going across
lots to town will have to turn square cor,
ners.
We have some very bad fords across
the creeks in this country They are
what we call made fords; we haul rock
and throw il into the creeks to the depth
of 81 or eight feet and then cut the banks
down some and it makes very dangerous
crossing. especially when the creeks gel
on a rampage. Sometimes people under
take to cross when the creeks are high
and get drowned. The water runs SC
swift that it carries them off the ford, bu,
the county is bridging as fast as their
means will admit. 1t won't be but few
years until they will have the crossings
all bridged.
I have been somewhat amused at The
Rural items and would like to hear more
from there, as that used to be my native
home. G. V. WILSON.

Fears That When Gen. Grants Book Is
Finished He VIII Die.
New York, june The Sun states that
both Gen Grant and Messrs. Webster q
Co., his publishers were greatly surprised
at the publication of extracts from the gen
erals Forthcoming memoirs. They think
some canvasser sold the contents of his
sample book without permission. They
were at first angry, hut afterward con.
cluded that the publication would benefit
the sale of the book.
The Sun further says that the book will
be much longer than at first intended. The
generals friends think the work in the book
is all that has kept him alive. They fear
the reaction that may come when it is COM
pleted, and they encourage him to continue
its preparation. 1t is further denied that
Gen. Badeau was required TO leave Gen.
Grants house on account of not publicly
denying the report that he was largely the
author of the memoirs. Gen. Badeau's de-
| parture Is ascribed TO lack of room in the
house after the arrival of Mr. and Mrs Sar-
toris.

very sick man. He bears up heroically, but
his appearance shocks those who see him fol

NOTES FROM KANSAS.
GARNET Kansas, June, 9Th


Mr.. EpIroR:-As am reader of your
paper and out in the west, thought /
would try and give you few items about
our country. We have as fine looking
country as a man need wish to look at,
and it has been rather a prosperous one
for the last three years, and the prospects
are rather fattering at the present for the
coming season, although we have had a
very wet, cold, backward, spring. There
was but very little corn planted in April
and what was put in the ground had to
be planted over again as the ground was
entirely too wet and cold, and it was still
wet the first OF May, so that considering
the late planting, corn looks very well.
We have been having some very dry
warm weather for the last three weeks,
the thermometer for the last two weeks
ranging from 80 to 100 degrees above ze-
70, in the shade. The recent rain makes
everything have a different look The
corn looks healthy and green and also the
oats and grass. The winter wheat and
rye is all headed out nicely; the early po-
tatoes are in full bloom; there
will be an abundance of apples if
nothing befalls them from this out; cher
ries viii be very scarce, and the peaches
are all killed. There will be some small
fruits, such as gooseberries, raspberries,
blackberrics and grapes. We raise as fine
fruit here as ever saw, but we haven't
an extra mai ket for it, but the prospects
are better for the future.
1t is wonderful to see the way our
county seat has built up in the past two
years, and the way the country is improv-
ing In general. There area great many
new corners, and there is vast sight of
improvement in the way of building good

SECRETARY BAYARD AND THE M1ssIs-

1t is to be seriously regretted that the
