The officers of the Ottawa County Agricultural Society arc using every means iu their power to get the grounds in readiness lor the coining fair, and making Bitch preparations i will add to the coin-fort and enjoyment of the people who may attend.

BUILDING For this wo havo in the northwest part of the county an abundance of the beautiful magnesia limestone, white, and very easily dressed and making boautiful buildings.

It con be sawed, planed or carved in any shape when quarried, but soon becomes hard enough for any building. We have all through the remainder of the county, except on the bottoms, occasional quarries of brown sand stone that makes a beautiful building when well put up. These quarrios are found on tho highest points of land nnd in banks of tho small streams thuB rendering very little land untillable. There are no scattering stones it is prairie or quarry, The white limestone makes excellent lime, and good sand is found in all parts of the county. The soil is a rich loam, (mite dark, verv Agricultural Implements Including the celebrated agricultural and stock-growing countries on tho globe; its two thousand miles of railroad has brought every section of the state accessible to market; all the severe straggles, sacrifices and hardships incidental to pioneer life have been undergone, and schools, churches and social organizations have been established, and tho rudimental work of a new and independent community perfected.

A person with capital can buy improved farms or town property cheaper than he could make the samo improvements himself In all now counties, property ig constantly changing hands, for various causes. But a small portion of the original settlers retain first posessions. Most pioneers, like tho Indian and the stage coach, yield to the encroachments of an elevated civilization and capital, and push further on toward the setting sun. The man of means can now obtain excellent real estate bargains in Kansas, while the poor man can find homcstoails and opportunities of purchasing binds of companies on easy terms. A poor man coming to Kansas to securo a farm must expect to endure hardships, to do hard work for some years before he can lead a life of ease.

The field here for enterprise 1h unlimited. It is a poor place to wait "for something to turn up," but an excellent place to turn np something. AW the avenues to trade, the professions, agriculturo, mechanism and occupations of all kinds are open nnd inviting operatives. We are yet comparatively in our infancy, and the stranger who now comes here to seek'a home can unite with us iu celebrating our maturity. Land Journal.

In former times, whenever an adventurous spirit formed a resolution to "emigrate west" to improve his condition and to found an in John Deere Gang Sulky deep, and sandy enough to work easily, drain readily, and stand drouth remarkably. No "gumbo" nor alkali lands. Along the streams are wide bottoms from one to six miles widej not lovel and subject to overflow like the Missouri bottom, but sloping enough to drain. These are bordered by gently undu-luting swells of beautiful land reaching up to the divide where they meet their fellows from the neighboring stream.

These are tion. We hopo our people generally will turn out and help make the fair a success, Bring something. Don't think that some one else must bring their products and you just go andlookat thein. They want to see what you have raised and learn how you did It, and that is precisely what 1 1 becoming me ravonte lands with those who have tried both as they find that they work more easily, nnd for small grain are better than the bottoms, while for corn they are almost, if not quito as good. There are Cottonwood of which we have plenty, makes good framing lumber, making a more substantial building, than pine, so that wo have almost all the requisites of a building at home.

Cottonwood lumber costs from 15 to not one in twonty will leavo the county, and tho abovo is tlio exact reason for selling in a majority of cases. Now don't jump at conclusions too hastily. You livo on a farm say in Illinois. Did you pre-empt that land, or has it not been sold and resold a doien times? If so, then it must be a poor country of course, or nobody would over sell land in Illinois. If this is such an awful country why has more" than one-half of our population sold their farms in the four states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa alone and settled here? This is a fact that is shown by the census, that more of our people have come from those four states than from all other states and counties combined, Nor is there a hundredth part as many here who would go back if they could soli, as there are who would come here if they could soli there.

We know -a man who had a choice farm on the river, well located and in good shape, but he got the notion that this was an awful dry country and the grasshoppers ate everything up, and ho wanted to go back to Illinois. As a matter of course he very soon had a chance to trade and a year ago he went back. And still he wasn't happy 1 He found, too, that somehow he had missed of Paradise, if he did go to Illinois, and one short year finds him traded again, this time for a farm only a few miles from his old one, but a long way from as good, but its good enough for him he says, and he don't want any more Illinois in his.

i- CHEAP HOMES. We wish to call the attention of our readers to the following very low figures at which can be had a good tract cf 160 acres in this county, within from ten to twenty miles of a railroad, with the advantages of stores, post-offices, schools, and all the advantages of a country settled for ten years. If you take raw government land you must, of course, go beyond the present settlements and take the refuse, after all others before you have had their pick. By taking the railway lands you get as good lands as those settling years ago on the government sections, and for a sum that will not begin to pay for tho privations they have passed through during that time. These terms allow you to make all after the first payment off from the land as well as your living, and instead of charging exorbitant interest on what is not paid down, 'tis 7 per and then 10 per cent, is discounted to you on the other payments, for putting 10 acres ef the tract in cultivation.

Twenty acres put in winter wheat tho first yenr is morally certain to pay for tho land out of the first crop.

The Solomon river runs through the coun tnis i iw uui iur mo ouio purpose of letting two or three parties do all the exhibiting and carry off all the premiums. We sometimes think that a Fair would prove a greater benefit to the people at largo if there were no premiums offered, for then everybody would bring in something, but the fear of not getting a premium keeps them from it.

Now this Is all wrong. We can't all have it, aud a good specimen is still good no matter if fifty better ones are shown and will receive credit at the hands of all intelligent observers, llcniember that no one has as large a growth of staZk or straw $20 dollars per thousand. Fine lumber, taking an average for a building, can be had at tho railroad at about 830 per thousand. OCR SCHOOLS.

Our merchants are confident of a good fall trade, and the fear that the coming winter will Wan exceptionally severe one on our working people is being dispelled by many stable signs of brisk tiade this autumn. Even in New England, where the business depression has been most disastrously felt, quite a number of largo mills, silent for many mouths past, arc starting Into action and on full time, for the fall jand winter. Iu our btate, says the Philadelphia Inquirer, some of the furnaces, infills, and factories, shut up for over a year, 'have been re-opened, and work has been or will be resumed very shortly. The reason of this is that prices have touched their lowest point and show signs of improvement. Stocks of goods have been reduced to the bare boards, or very near them; the products of the country have been unprecedented and there is at last some encouragement to resume traffic with a prospect of profit, for that is the great business magnet, If our merchants and manufacturers can now ressurrcct the old-time commercial confidence, we may look for the dawn of better times veiy soon.

Hardly a week passes that we do not get from one to a dozen letters from parties east who have land to trado for property here.

It is said that it looks bad to see so many places in our hands for sale. Well, just count up how many farms there are for sale around you, in a tract of country twenty-four miles one way by thirty tho other, and see how the lists will compare. Again, there are dozens of good reasons why a man should wish to sell here that do not in the least go plow land to mako a hard earned living from, and heavy crops, and that's about all.
