Remember tho place: At the Drug Store on Main Street, Mound City, Kansas, J. B- prebend no danger from them, if it continues seasonable a month or six weeks longer. I tell you, Mr. Editor it really makes one feel goo 1, in view of a bountiful harvest once more. But I picked up my pencil to say, my say about the celebration.

Well, as the old saying is, I was at the fourth of July, and perhaps, like a great many other folks went to see and be will leave the seen off, in mine for I had no silk flounces, or broad cloth, to exhibit on the occasion. Having lived in Kansas almost twenty-one years, I consequently have seen about twenty Kansas fourths, and have attended eighteen celebrations, and am not, neither do I ever expect to be tired of celebrating our independence day. And why not go, why not every body go, yes why not go and see the folks, and at the proper time, be seated take off our hats, stop our talking, and listen to the music, reading, speaking ani' exercises generally. Why not have a jolly good old time talking, laughing, and eating our good things each, exercise in ts proper time. I think the thing a little mixed this last time.

Let us hope tor better times and manners, and that will be when we as Americans go to the celebration or any other gathering, dressed up with a little more of the plain simple unpretending home made, home spun, sound common sense. Instead of tliis vain, unnatural, fictitious, high-faluten flub-dub foolery. Oh! for a little inoro heart and soul instead of so much dress and show. Yours truly, A. Hail Ridger.

satisfaction is the result. From the ex-periance of the past two years, we are led to the conclusion, that under favorable circumstances, such as pure water, and good food, free from noxious weeds, a first class article of cheese, can be produced from the milk of cows fed on the native grasses, and where weeds predominate or are largely found, a more marketable article of cheese, than butter can be made. In our opinion this country posseses superior advantages over most of the celebrated cheese producing, sections of the estern states, in its mild winters, cheap grain, extensive range, and pure air, and that in a short time our cheese will rank with the best in market, and this branch of industry will assume a leading position in the manufacturing interests ot this county. For the Enterprise. PERSONAL REMINISCENCES OF THE EARLY SETTLEMENT OF KANSAS, BY ONE OF THE FIRST SETTLERS.

Their was a Captain Walker, who lived between Lawrence and Lecompon, a brave and determined free-state man, and wbo was intensly hated by the pro -savory men, so munh so, that Col. Titus offered five thousand dollars for his head off, or on his shoniders. A party of ruffians from Lenompton, determined to have the reward, and went out to Walkers house one night, getting there about, mid-night. But Walker having had notice of the intended attack, had gathered some of his friends, and when the ruffians rode into the door yard, they saluted them with a volley of rifle balls from the windows, killing one of the horses in the gate-way. The ruffians fled in hot haste, and one of them in his hurry, leaping the fence, caught his coat tail on a picket, and left it with a bottle of whiskey, drngling in the air.

Two of them were made prisoners, but were let go the next morning, when they went and reported tho names of those of Walkers friends that they knew, and writs was issued for their apprehension. Thus while no notice was taken of assassins wbo went out to murder Walker at mid-night. Those who came to protect him from being murdered, were treated as criminals, and this is a pretty fair specimen of the eon-duct of the United States officials, at that time. About the sane time a Mr. Sforris house on Washington Creek, was threatened by a party of Georgians, but on the appearance of five horsemen from Lawrence, they fled in haste.

At a settlement on the Pottowattomie, which was composed partly of pro-slavery, and partly of free-state men. The proslavery men, notified the free-state men to leave, or they wpuld kill them. On the 24th ot May, they commenced to commit outrages on the families of the free-state men, and on that night, a Mr Doyle and his two son3 together with one Shorman, and one Wilkinson, who were considered the lcarders of the pro-slavery men, were taken out of their housea and killed. This act was' much condemned by the leading free-state men, and although it cannot be justified, jet, the circumstances is some palliation of the act. This aroused the ruffians, and Pate with his Shannons Sharp Shooters, set out for Ossawattomie where he found two of Captain John Browns sons, quietly at work on their farms, and tools them prisoners without any warrant whatever, loaded them with irons and then proceeded to arrest others and burn houses.

Shortly after this. Captain Wood, of the United States Dragoons arrived, and Pate turned the prisoners over to him and he treated them most inhumanly, for the prisoners were chained together tiro and two, with trace chains, and driven before the Dragoons in the hot sun, twenty miles to Lecompton where they were kept until the fall enduring evey indignity that their enemies saw fit to heap upon them.

THURSDAY, JULY. 15, 1875. SALUTATORY. The lone and style of the Linn Co En-TeBprise suited me and I bought out its former proprietors, confident that a newspaper of its size and excellence must even-tully pay ahandsome profit on the investment. I propose to Keep the Enterprise up to its present high standard.

Youratten-tion is called to the value of the paper, as a medium for the dissemination -of a vast amount of useful and entertaining information, its pages are teeming with interesting articles on Markets, Crops, Stock, Politics, and Religon, together with home and foreign news. I promise to make it still more useful if possible. It will always be found in unison with the best interests of the people. The development of the material resources of Linn Conuty will receive a liberal share of attention, while it will favor and assist all measures for Mental and Moral improvement, in short it will be the peoples own paper, ever Vigilant in watching over their interests and depending on them for its support. No rings, cliques or'office seekers have any right, title, or interest in the press or paper.

I am the Peoples obedient servant, V. C. Hanchett, Proprietor. For the Entebprise. Mr.

Editor: I have observed, in the Fort Scott Sentinel and Tioneer, an article, copied from the New York Ledger, purporting to be, a critisism on Gen. Grants letter on the third term, than which, a greater ptceo of sophistry I never read. In the first place, he accuses him of poverty, and working for a living, after getting an education; at West Point, instead of remaining in the army; and living at the expense of the nation, while doing nothing or next to nothing in rsturn. For without undervaluing the the army, I think there are many West Pointers, who are of about as much us8 to the country as a third wheel is to a cart. And that was emphatically the case, before tho Rebellion when the rank and file of the army numbered only about eight thousand about half as many officers as there were men.

The next charge is, that he was made Commander in Chief. Well if he was he had no Brother or near relatives in congress as Sherman and some others of the officers had, so it is but reasonable to suppose he attained that rank by his own merit. Now, let us see if his saying that he considered it a sacrifice to accept the nomination for President is an insult to the American People. lie was General in chief of the army, a place made by a grateful people expressly for him, and which suited his genius, and disposition-exactly, in fact he was there; the right man; in the right place. Furthermore his salery was $18,000 a year for life, and the Presidency was an office new to him, and which he did not know whether, he could fill properly, which only lasted for four years- with a salery of only which would barely defray- the- expenses attending the rank, and as- for the honor if it be an honor, to be set' up as a target, for every ill-conditioned enr; to snarl, and bark at, to bave every word, and act-inn, distorted, and ascribed to the worst possible motives is certainly a very unpleasant one, so taking, everything into consideration, I do not think that his saying he prefered to serve the American people as a General, rather than be their President was an insult to them at all, for altho I have no fault to find with him as a President; I think he was better fitted for the position of General.

W. A. H. THE MOUND CITY CHEESE TORY. This enterprise is situated on the banks of the Little Sugar only a short distance from the business portion of the town.

It was built, and opened to the public in the spring of 1872, by practical men, from the cheese manufacturing districts of New York The building is 28xG0, two stories high, and cquiped with a seven horse power engine, and suitable machinery and appliances, having a capacity for manufacturing the milk of one thousand cows. It is conducted on the Associated Dairy plan each patron having a vote or voiee in the management of the Association. The manufacturer receiving a stipulated sum, for manufacturing and preparing the, cheese for market. The affairs of the association are controlled by a Board of officers chosen annually, as provided for in tho constitution and bylaws adopted by tho association at its organization. The members, are patrons, whose interests are identical with that of tlie 'Factory.

The greatest number of patrons has been one-liundred and six, milking six hundred and fifty cows, and the radius, of the territory represented; is about eight miles. The Factory is closed during the Sabbath, the Saturday eveningsmilk is made up Saturday night: and the Sunday evening, on monday morning, thus leaving but one milking woekly in the hands of the dairymen. The advantages, which this system presents over the old method of raising calves, by letting them run with the cows, or perhaps tho manufacturer in small quantities of butter, or cheese, will readily be seen. First the price of the butter usually rules low, frequently below that of cheese, pound for pound secondly the defective conveniancies for the manufacture used by most dairymen in the west at the present time. Thirdly the yield admitted upon all sides by practical dairymen, in favor of cheese, is in the ratio of two and one half to one, that is, the milk required to make two and one half potmde of cheese will only make one of butter, and a ratio of three to one is often found.

Fourthly by a concentration of interests aided by suitable apparatus, a more fwiform and valuable article is produced, Wfhiih gives it the advantage in the market. over a jrroniseuous, or indifferent forboth dealer an! ceusuraer knov.s Le quality of the article by the Brand and Real Estate Bought, Sold, Exchanged or Leased.

Attorney for Tliff. nlit SOME ACCOUNT OF THE OLDEST BUSINESS. In these days advertising does not necessarily mean either prophecy or truth-telling, but it does mean the turning of public attention to onr business. And the question for the advex tiger is, How shall I advertise so as most effectully to turn public attention to my business, and not only turn it to my business, but fasten it there An advertiser success in advertising, will chiefly depend on two things, namely: On the style in which his advertisements are written, and on the way in which they are published- A fact may be stated in such a dull manner as to attract little or no notice; and the same may be stated so interestingly as to arrest general attention So too an advertisement may be published in such a way that it will fall dead; and the same advertisement, word for word, may be published in such a manner as to occasion a wide-spred sensation. As a rule, neither of these points is suf-ficieutly considered by advertisers.

A roan has a law-suit, and his case is to bo advertised to a jury of twelve men, he wants a lawyer to do it, who can wield all the resources of argument and eloquence in his behalf. But the same man, when a jury of many thousands is to be addressed in behalf of his business, is apt to think that he can do it well enough himself, no matter how incompetent he may be. In fact, it is pretty generally supposed that any kind of a statement, will answer for an advertisement when the truth is in order to have an advertisement tell with the greatest force on tho public mind, it must be prepared with consummate skill. This is especially true of advertisements intended to secure the favorable consideration of ladies. We have knowu striking instances of ladies being irreconcilably prejndied against an advertiser, by reason of some quality in his advertisement which lie doubtless supposed to be its chief point of exellence.

But whaftb do with an advertisement, after it is written, is perhaps the chief problem in this business. How shall the advertisement be launched upon the public with the most telling effect? Theres much money in the correct answer to this question. Lot us see if we can get at the correct answer. And in order to get at the correct answer, let us see what it is that an advertiser wants to accomplish by advertising He wants to turn the attention of as many persons as possible to his goods, wares and merchandise, and to present himself and his business to them in such an attractive and pursuasive manner, as to secure their favorable consideration and custom in short, so as to make them bc-leave in him, and in his business, and in whatever commodities he may hare for sale. The following pen portrait from the Daily Reporter is so lifelike, that we re produce it for the delectation of our readers.

The sketch is so tru8 to nature, that every one will recognise the likeness, at a glance. There are men and men, ani it may be said with equal propriety that there are journalists and journalists. Indeed, it would be a difficult, matter, in one brief editorial to even classify, not to speak of describing, the different kinds of newspaper men in the world. Recognizing this fact, we will not attempt an almost impossible task, hut will confine our attention to one species of the geuus mentioned The Intimidator This sort of fellow can be found in every town where papers flourish, and where there are people to frighten. Ilia chief accomplishment is the facility with which he dons his piratical armor and makes war upon all, Indiscriminately; and the capital upou which he trades, principally, "the fear he inspires.

He sees fraud and peculation every where; accuses those that none but he would think of believing capable of acting dishonestly, of the most astounding acts of theft, and when an investigation is made his fingers are found to be the most soiled from contact with ill gotten lucre. He makes ribald jests, never consulting the feelings of those he aims to stab; but when one is leveled at him he shrinks, and will save himself from the shock of the joke by any subterfuge. To sum up, he is among jou rnalists what the bully is among boys. As long as those he assaults remain cowed with fear, fancying they have no mode of escaping his malevolence, he exultes like the cowardly bully and plies the scourge; but as soon as bis contemptible weekness is discovered, like the wretch that he is, he creeps out of sight to hide his miserable cowardice. Seventh Day Adventists The Camp Meeting advertised to be held by this Religous Sect, commencing Jnly 21st has been posponed, as will be seen from the following notice published in the Review and Herald, which we copy for the guidance of those who propose to attend.

The Missouri and Kansas Camp-meeting is posponed. We think the first of October would be uch better than the near time appointed. July 21 28 would bring the meeting in the closing up of grain harvest, when it would be difficult for some to attend, and when the extreme heat would be overpowering to those speakers who are alrejly worn by labor.

The clouds of misfortune that, a few weeks ago lowered over our county, and threatened destruction, to ourcrops, have rolled away and visions of prosperity again gleam forth to gladden the heart of the husbandman.

The recent rains have given fresh impetus to vegetation and fresh hope to the people. The corn recently planted is growing rapidly, and the oats crop is ready for the reaper. Production! of the gardens are finding their way into market, and meet with a ready demand. Trade is reviving and scenes of activity are taking the place of care worn unxiety as grim viaged despondency. Surely if breasting the waves of raisfot -tune is necessary to the development of a people Linn-Caunty must have a glorious future in store for her.

No people have worked harder, or with more persistent determination, and under more disadvantages; than have those who were victims of the grasshoppers ravages this season.
