Our thriving little city, in common with
the towns along the Minnesota and Arkan-
sas valleys is beginning to feel the effects Of
the spring emigration.
Several first-class farms have been sold to
first-class men, some from Michigan and
others from Indiana and Illinois. Indica-
tons are now that very many Of the farm.
along the Fort Scott and Wichita railroad
will change hands this season. If those who
have bought are specimens ofthose who are
to Come, cur county will not only be cele-
brated a. the best corn county in Kansas but
will be equally as fortunate in having the
best class of citizens in the state. We be-
gin to see the workings of the new emigra-
ton society recently formed, of which our
wide-awake real estate agent. Mr.. Proctor,
is vice president. This society in connec-
ton with the railroad is destined to ill up
this valley with men with capital who
will improve our farms, and in five years
Sedgwicx county will contain fifty thousand
inhabitants and her Improvements will
equal those of the Oldest counties in Illinois.
So let all land seekers who desire
the water the purest, the climate the most
salubrious and the people the NEST genial
and intelligent j say, then; come to Sedg-
wick county and be happy. Our farmers
are beginning to pillow for their oat crop, al
though President Cleveland did not say a
word about it in his Inaugural. As he is in
harmony with the civil service rule, pre-
sumo oats, wheat, corn and everything else
will flourish providing the husbandman per-
forms his duty faithfully.
