We hereby certify the above item to be phax. Tommie Hawk. CORRESPONDENCE. Firth, May 8, 1882. Editor Herald To fulfill a promise made before 1 left Graham county, I will now write a few lines descriptive of my impressions and experiences on my trip this state, and my observations after arrival here.

I left Lenora on the morning of the 16th of March, by train down the Solomon valley As we started before daylight we could see none of the country until we had made a long way down toward Kirwin; but after day dawned the valley, with its streak of coltonwooda and ash winding along with the stream, preiented a beau tiful panorama seldom seen, and nowhere else, I believe, but in Kansas. 'The farmers were already turning the soil preparatory to planting their "spring crops. Wheath and rye, though apparently but little sown, looked thrifty and green, and promised a good yield and profit. Strips plowed and being plowed showed that the failure of last year's corn crop had not discouraged the farmers, but they were trying again. We landed at Ynma, a town of two small houses and a railroad depot and hotel combined, at the junction of the Re publican branch with the main line of the Central Branch, at three o'clock on the afternoon of the same day, and was compelled to stop over night, there being no tram until the next morning, by which we started up the Republican valley.

The country at first appeared to be wet and swampy, bnt as we ascended the yalley it became dryer and bettor cultivated, until we came to Scandia. where we found thriving town, surrounded by a well tilled and productive country really one of the best parts, if net the garden spot of Kan sas. 1 he farms all had a fair bredth of wheat growing that looked promising, and the farmers were busy plowing for corn and sowing oats and spring wheat. From Scan dra north, after we had passed a ragged bluff so close to the river that room had to be for the road-bed, the country held its beauty and fertility until we reached Talmage, on the state line, the terminus of the road, whero we left the valley, with its beauty, and stepped over the line into Nebraska at Hardy, on the M. road.

After a eight's rest at tha only hotel in the place, we took the cars for Be atrice, the county seat of Gage county. The road runs along the state line, or near to it, for about 100 miles, passing through several small but crowinjr towns, till it reaches Roymore, a new and thrifty town, where it takes a sudden turn to the north and passes through Beatrice, and on to Lincoln. Beatrice is the largest place we passed on the trip. It ia situated on the Big Blue river, which is spanned by a fine iron bridge. It has a large flouring mill and other manufacturing establishments.

The buildings are constructed largely of brick and finished up in good style. The mer chants seemed to be doing a good busi-. ness, especially those dealing in farming implements, Gago county is covered with well improved farms, on which are grow ing fire groves of cultivated timber, giving the once barren prairie a thrifty and bean tiful appearance seldom seen. Corn and oats are the leading crops, wheat being risky on account of the hard winters and the eyerlasting chinch bug, LaBt year the corn crop was large and brings a good price, making the farmers cheerful and happy. In the larger cities of the country it has become almost an impossibility to pur chase a pound of unadulterated butter.

An official investigation on this question was lately made by the authorities of St, Louis, and immense quantities of staff sold as "pure country butter" were found, which on investigation was proven to have been composed chiefly of old, rancid lard. To make "butter" out of this stuff the oil is pressed out of it, tearing the remainder colorless, odor'583 and tasteless, to which is ad led a little real butter to gie it flavor. This substance and oleo-margine have the monopoly of tha batter 4 market in the large cities. Among the many ingenuous devices gamblers hare for swindling at cards is a silver dollar with a bit ot concave mirror set into one side of it. By laying this among bis pile of coin and dealing over it the operator can know what every play er holds ior that deal, the cards being re flected in miniature.

A gambler in Lead-ville lately won, or rather stole, $2,500 in one night with the aid of one of these as they are called. An Atlanta murderer, sentenced to be hung on June 30, objected to being hung on the same day as Guiteau. His preju dice was respected and he will be allowed to hang on June 29. The Howell Lumber Company, Lenora, have the largest and most complete Stock of building material of any yard west of Atchison. ait "We beliere in the truth of the old French proverb "No cattle, no farming faw cattle, poor farming many cattle, good farming.1 We would therefore like to see many cattle in Graham county.

m. Mr. Enos Hankens returned Friday from Colorado and Wyoming territory, where he had be en or some months. He is one of our oldest residents, having arrived here the same day as Mr. Terrell, consequently before Millbrook had an ex istence.

Fourth of July programmes are already being prepared in some of our neighbor mg counties. How is Graham going to celebrate the national anniversary this year It should be held at Millbrook this time, as the county seat has never yet enjoyed that distinction.

On mail route No, 83,234 Gettysburg, Bonair, Lamasco, Bertie, New Almelo and Jennings have been omitted, and after July 1 will embrace Lenora, Wake-man and Clayton, This virtually dis continues the Gettysburg and Oberlin route and makes Lenora the starting point, Elder George mourns the loss of a fine horse, which strayed away one night last week, which after two days search was found at the bottom of a 45-foot well in Hill City. When found, the animal was still alive, but had to be shot. Those unfinished wells in Hill City should not be left uncovered.

One of our exchanges challenges the United States or the world to name a county the size of McFherson, in this state, with the same acreage of fins winter wheat, which is 130,000 acres. The same paper also says thecounties of Mcpher son, Dickinson and saline cave com bined acreage of 300,000 acres of Eplendid winter wheat.

R. and L.W.Maulsby, of Iowa, arrived in town Friday, on a visit to their brother, our esteemed CJlow-townsman, H. T. Maulsby. They ere very pleasant gentlemen, and we are glad to make their acquaintance.

They expect to return home to-day and take their sick brother ith them, where they hope familiar scenes and the companionship of old friends and relatives will restore him to health. We trust it may. In 1855 there were ten newspapers pub lished in Kansas in 1860, thirty two; in 1865, forty there in 1870, one hundred and two; in 1875, one hundred and fifty eight; in 1880, two hundred and ninety seven; and last year there were three hundred and forty one. The Atchison Champion is the only paper in the that dates back to 1855. The above fig ures show that the inhabitants of Kansas are pre-eminently a reading people.
