There aro thousands of other men whose capital may bo limited to a few hundred dollars, who aro compelled to labor without making any apparent gain. There aro thousands of others who cannot realize more than enough to reach our western plains.

To each of those classes we say, Come to Kansas. To the man of capital, there are abundant chances for profitable investment. To the man with a few drod dollars, that desires a home, wo have good lands, within his means to purchase, in good neighborhoods, near good schools and churches. To the poor man, there are plenty of homestead that can be secured, by the payment ot 14, near good settlements and in desirable locations. It is for the purpose of helping these classes of men in the Eastern States that we publish our paper.

It contains truthful statements in regard to Kansas. It aims to tell nDnrnuwn Our Gold Medal for Fruits. Hear what the correspondent of the Now York World says "Kansas has done herself honor in the exhibition of fruits. There axe no finer apples or pears than thotje on the large table, above which the name of the State is wrought in evergreen. The delegates from Kansas, though they have been silent on the floor, worked enthusiastically about the Fair.

The Legislature made an appropriation specially for the purpose, which shows good sense; and is creditable to a young government. The money is well will bring in a worthy return, for these noble fruits are an enticing manifesto, and will send more than one horticulturist out thero to live. Tho pears are richly colored as well as large, and the apples 1 Well, II you could see the Gloria MunoTi specimons. you 'd think of ordering a few dozen for winter supply. You wouldn't need more.

They must buy apples by avordupcis in Kansas. The old applos have returned to something of their first quality on tho new soil of the West. Th goldon Porters and juicy Smok house apples have taken a new lease of popularity. Tho peaches ara models of beauty. Dusky shaded, and tho white ones are a standing temptation to people who know the delicate sweetness under those sunless complexions.

Kansas can go in on tho fruit question. The pears are exhausting to look at; they are so large that delicate women would hesitate to oat them, just as they shrink from immense country biscuit." Our State. No Stato in this- Union has ft brighter future than Kansas. It was settled by a different class of persons from that of any other now Stato. The contending elements of slavery and anti-slavory brought to our Territory only a class of minda the most fearless, determined and energetic.

The conflict was so terrible that none but tho best class of minds could endure to the end. It has all passed, and leaves these minds made purer by tho conflict to G. W. MURPHY, wholesale dealer in and manufacturer of Furniture and Upholstery. Mirrors, Picture Frames, Glass and Fancy Furniture.

Every train of cars coming West is loaded with people who aro do-lighted with our country. Thousands cxpross their snpriso at what they behold whon they arrive here. Nine-tenths of all who visit Kansas find it a better State than they had anticipated, and thoso of them that did not como prepared to purchase property go homo determined to soil out and come to our beautiful State for permanent homos. Thero. has been a larger emigration to Kansas this season than of any previous, and thousands more would coma if they could.

Wo are aware that it is a dull timo in the east for money and very difficult'toscll property for its value, especially so if you desire to sell for cash only. Most of the proporty hete is hold and sold for cash, for the simple reason that it will increase in value faster than money at interest. Happily, how-' over, there are exceptions to this general rule. The large and very desirable amount of Railroad Lands which wc have for salo, is offered on long credit and at low rates of intor est. This has been a groat help in settling our Stato.

Wo havo some of this class, of Lands, near Manhattan, for sale at this timo. develop our young State until she is fast becoming the State of the Union. From 1855 until 1860 the war for slavery was waged, but th glorious old Free Stato banner triumphed. Ono year of terrible drouth followed. Then commenced the four years' war of tho rebellion, whon our people suffered by the sword and torch as few others suffered.

After passing through all thoso things we still havo half a million of people within our borders; wo have built 800 miles of railroad; we havo tho city of Leavenworth with hor thirty-five thousand peoplo; Atchison and Lawrence with their fifteen thousand each; Topoka with hor ton thousand Fort Scott with tenperhaps twolvo thousand; while wo havo Wyandotte, Junction City, Manhattan, and numerous other cities, with their five and eight thousand each. In lieu of tho "Great A merican Desert" as our geographers used to teach us to call this whole section of country we have fertile farms, princely dwellings, bearing orchards and fields of wheat that would lead one to think of tho ocoan as it waves. We have farms in all thoir appurtenances vioing with the richest fields of the East; but still wo have just begun to grow. Tho future will discloso tho fact that Kansas will bo the greatest, the richest and most desirable Stato in this country. Times Conservative.
