8pedal Correspondence for "What Next. OARDJSN CITY, April 16, 1884.—The Spring opening here has been very propitioas. Each incoming train, both Irom the east and from the west brings some one to examine our beautiful country. Many tastern capitalists are becoming interested in our success and '^j wu& investing largely in lands in this etmnty. Nor is this all they are strivtng with each othe*tobe the first to get light of way and charter for new irrigating ditcheo. Capital has found out that irrigation has proved a success here and it to be a permanent thing. Many of these persons are moving their families to our little city and building tasty liomes. There are now under construction and contract some twenty new houses—two large brick business rooms to go up on Main street at once.

An elegant church building costing near three thousand dollars is almost completed, to be occupied by the Methodist people, A large school building is to be another attraction. What with oar Hotels, Stores, Banks, Lumber Lards, Nurseries, etc., we can offer sl­

most

any

accommodation that is wanted.

It Is true our town is now and many things remain to be done. But the privilege of railroad and telegraph bring us quite near the great cities.

With our weekly newspaper the ••Irrigator" and four daily mails we are well supplied in that direction. Many of the best farmers of Indiana and Illinois will locate here the present season. Land near tije city is rapidly advancing |p value, very little well improved land can be had for less than fortjr to fifty dollars per acre.

The formers are all very busy plowing and sowing, everything looks fresh and vigorous, these prairies are green, while the fresh plowed fields are almost black. Yoa can't meet a farmer who is not all •miles and cheerfulness as he looks over Ms green alfarfa fields, and his farm surrounded with a living stream of water which at a moment's notice he can cause to flow over all his lacd a half loch to afoot lu depth.

Our city looks somewhat deserted as all the cattle men and all those who want work are off with provisions and tents for the grand round up. There will be busy times on the prairie for the next three weeks. The whole county along the river seems to be alive with cattle «rery day the number increases as new herds are driven from the interior. Our little city is fast becoming the home of the wealty owners of these almost countless herds of "wealth producers."

The heavy rains of the past week ensore a very fine pasturage for the coming season. It is hard to imagine a prettier sight or a more imposing one than a stretch of green level prairie as liar aa the eye can reach. Close to the town,grovee of trees and orchards are beginning to make considerable show. Over two car loads of shade trees were planted along our streets in the past three weeks.

OARORN CITY ITEMS.

Mr. Oliver Knight and family have removed to their new residence. The new Methodist church is fast approaching completion. It will be an honor to oar city.

Mr. I. R. Holmes is in Topeka, cicalas up a big laBd sale. Friend Holmes It kept very busy locating fresh arrivals. He employs two or three assistants at present.

Oar tri«* wy the new bank •Ada mu*h to their convenience. Oar city will soon have plenty of ribade—two car leads of trees were pat •at this spring.

F. M. Bishop has "proved up" on his farm. Marion say* there Is no place that will equal Finney county for fine fanning, fine hunting and good health. He claims to have killed our fifty antelope the past season. RKX.

The prettiest Cottage Sultea your eyes ever looked upon have been received at R. Fbnrter** Furniture house, 838 Main •Met, and they are sold at prices marmtowAy cheap.

Tbei* are few places mors attractive in the city or where an hour can be more profitably or pleasantly spent than at Betton A Oo.*s Central Bookstore. The vMtbr Is always welcome there to look at the great variety of hooka, the beautiful pictures, the elegant ornaments for the household, etc. It is here, asia well krtown, CM bm found the latest agony la nobby stationery and a fall line at blank books and commercial stationery «af every deacriptioa.

The Famous Critic.

A very fine specimen of art is the picture entitled "The Critic" given to %very purchaser of a pair of shoes at the "Famous" Shoe Store, 513* Main street. In thia connection it is proper to add that N.

A.

Magg & Co. are still selling

an enormous lot of 6oots and shoes at the "Famous." The excitement which they created when they came to the city by the extraordinary inducements which they made to the people has somewhat abated and it has settled down to be a well known fact that the Famous which opened the terrible cut in prices is still the leading house. There is no longer any doubt as to the quality of their goods nor the advantages offered in prices.

W. H. Griener's friends will be pleased to meet him at the "Famous.''
