Kansas, though ranking high in agricultural production, is only in her infancy as a farming country. Not over one-sixth of her soil has over been turned over by the plow, and the immense crops raised in the western counties, which have heretofore been regarded as a part of the "Great American Desert," demonstrates the fact that nearly every foot of her soil is productive, and it almost staggejpfjone to try to figure on the eropsiwhieh this state alone will produce ten or even five yestrs hence.

Register, how was it that Cincinnati without money, procured 155 majority in the last election? A man though a fool, may not error in his way.

Therefore it is too late for monied fractions to talk money to the tax payers of Grant county. You may talk boodle to the hoodlums but it is too Jute to catch the actual settler on bosh. We admit that there was a "nigger" under the fence but you know he was killed with a bail bat at your town. We have seen as many voters in Grant county in the past few days perhaps as the Register and cannot find any grounds for your statement, as to the disa-itis-factiou of the people, as to the compromise, but on the other hand we know personally that lots, that wero worth before the consolidation, you cannot buy for $100 now. You cannot find a man who has taken his lot for actual settlement who is dissatisfied, or that wants to sell, and on the other hand you can find a number of people who have worked for Ulysses with the expectation and promise of property in your town, whoso claims have beenjust, and have been admitted as such by your town company, and tnen without any Just cause they wholly ignored their contracts, and you know some of the best buildings now standing in your town, are there as the results of misrepresentations and that the com-pany never have done what they agreed to do for the parties building the Hurno.
