On Sunday ihorning the people began to flock to church, coming in their Kansas buggies and on foot, until some land-hunters who were there said, "Where da the crowds come from As The people have neither church nor school-house, we met at Bro.

Ellis's house. After singing and prayer a discourse was delivered from the tenth verse of the forty-first chapter of Isaiah, and the Master was pleased to reveal himself to the people in much mercy and power. At the close of the services we proceeded to organize a class. Owing to the weather and the appointment not being generally known, many were not there, yet eight united by letter, and several, will give then; letters to the class-leader. We found by looking over the neighborhood that there are fifteen or sixteen persons who hold letters from the M- E.

church, and several others who have claims and will be on them soon, who are Methodists. The brethren are expecting to have a house in which to worship before twelve months roll around. Meanwhile there will be regular services there after our next conference meets, which will be on the Cth of March. On our road home I preached at Haynesville, where we had a class organized by Wni. Wallace of Pratt.

Here, as at Iuka, the wonder was where the people could come from. And permit me to say to any one who want a home, and especially to Methodists, there can be no better locality, no mora desirable or inviting' place than Iuka. Hutchinson, News. Ben. Wm.

Learned. To the Editor of the Stafford Citizen t' I was not asked to give my political position; I was -not educated in Iowa nor any place else; I never studied common nor statue law; but I am a resident of Pratt county, and oppose the immediate organization of said county. Mr. Anderson talks straight as a string, and Mr. Cook reasons, right out from the shoulder.

I am asmueh opposed as any one can be to importing office-seeking lawyers, and when they import themselves I shall oppose their election by voice and vote. But for the present we have no need of a complement of county officers, whose chief business would be to play the part of leeches npon the public treasury. True, we need not build the first year, but we must sometime; and those who now urge organization, will be calling upon you for court-house bonds before you are aware of it. Then yoa will Lave your school bonds, bridge bonds, and Heaven only knows what other bonds. And the time comes when all these must be paid; besides we will have the interest to pay and that will double or triple; and for every $10.00 in bonds we vote, we will pay $20.00 or $30.00.

This is no imaginary case, but something which our sister counties are realizing. Under the township organization, as adjunct to Reno county, we may have all the advantages of public schools. As there are comparatively few married tax-payers, I think it is enough to ask the bachelors of municipally to school ycur children, without calling upon them to support a crew of officials. There is but a small portion of taxable real estate in Pratt and to pay school expenses and bond interest by a tax upon personal property will lay a bnrdon upon the community that will have great effect upon tmigration an effect which will gr atly retard the development of our latent resources by keeping out hundreds who would otherwise settle among us. Men of means do not wish to take their effects to a country where taxes will eat up all profits; one of the wealthiest men of Prart last fall remarked to me that the day the county effected an organization would find him prf paring to leave.

I fail to see how county organization will be any benefit, except to the favored few who will be fed from the public crib; and gentlemen, you can't all have office. This is plain enough and we had better beware of bringing this expense upon ourselves unless we are sure of receiving instead of paying the salary. Fellow citizens, I write these words in behalf of the general welfare of the whole community, and I beg that each will think carefully before taking an irretrievable step. Yours respectfully J. W.

Pratt county is yet very new, containing but few scattering settlers in the spring of 1877. Tame grass has net been tried here grain, trees, buffalo and blue stem grasses do well here, and the probabilities are that many tame grasses and efcovers will do as well here as in other countries. We have secured alfalfa clover seed for the purpose of trying its adapti-bility to this country. The flowing is an extract frtan the proceedings of the Southern Kansas Horticultural Society, held at Humbolt, Jan. 9th and 10th.

The culture of blue-grasar was discussed, and from the experience givn by several it was deemed a success in southern Kansas. It can be easily grown from seed sown, in the early spring and. in the fall, provided the season is reasonably good for growth and the weeds are kept well mown for the first year until the grass gets a start The proper amount of seed to sow is from two la four bushels per acre. No grass or small grain should be sown with the blue-grass seed and the mowing close and frequently the first season was ccusidered very important" Last Saturday about four hundred Pratt county people met at Stafford, to nominate candidates for township offices, the election for which is to- take place next Tuesday. 'lhe meeting, was called to order by J.

There was a double wedding at Chancy Clothiers on the 24th of January: A. E. Clothier to Miss Elma Bagley and Harry Bagley to Miss Emley Clothier. This is the second time there has been a double wedding in this family within the last two years. This tells what Harry built that sod house for.

We wash them well. Prospects for a large wheat caop is very flattering in the northern end of Pratt and the southern portion of Barton counties. If the next harvest is as good as it now promises to be there will be a large call for machinery. Hands will be scarce and machinery will be used in their stead. Some of the farmers here, have as much as 160 acres- in wheat and the 60 acre wheat fields are very common.

There has been a big meeting going on at the Clothier school house for some time, conducted by elder Sevey of Pratt county.

More anon, Old Settler. Editor Our excellent and zealous elder J. W. Fox having requested me to go and see what the wants of the people of Iuka were, and organize a class of the M. E.

church, I started thither on Friday, January 18th The town is situated in the center of Pratt county, about sixty miles fxom Hutchinson, and in a beau- tifttl, tieli prairie country, about one house was built in August and now there are six or seven frame buildings on the town site. Among them is a commadious hotel, a store and blacksmith shop. The country is also dotted over with houses. Although the day was rainy and disagreeable, we arrived at Haynes'-ville that night. This is a settlement commenced by Jacob Haynes last spring, being fourteen miles from Iuka.

We remained over night with Mr. Haynes, and found his a pleasant christian family. The following, day we arrived at the village, and. found our way to J. W.

Ellis's, where no pains were spared to make our vist an enjoyable one.
