Floyd county has sixteen candidates who base ‘•announced” in the Rome Courier, eight of these are for the Legis lature. Mr. Moses R. Harper and Mias Eldora Elliott were married on the 10th inst., by Rev. J. A. Jackson. All of Pike county, Go. The Radical party of Pike met at Zebuloti last Saturday to nominate a candidate for the Legislature. They made no nomination. Acwortb, one of the strongholds of Democracy, js square out for organiza tion, nominations, harmony, Tilden and Hendricks, and|Coiquitt. Paulding and Walker coantiea have elected Dabney delegates to the 7th Congressional District Convention, which assembles in Dalton, September 7th. The cup of happiness is full to over flowing for the modern Acworth yonth when he can sit np beside bis girl for five bonrs, waiting for the rain to cease so they can go to church. Bartow conDty : Grand total valua tion of all property, 83,923,715. The digest shows a falling off in the value of the whole property as retnrned last yet r to the amount of 8192,415. About two hundred of the best citi zens of Troop county have addressed a letter to A. H. Cox, Eq., asking him to become a candidate for the Legislature. Mr. Cox has consented to become a can didate. “Nemo” in the Marietta Journal sng gest the name of A. J. Hansel! for Con gress for this District. Gen. Hassell is a worthy gentleman, aad would make a good member of Cougress.— Rome Daily Newt. The election for members of the Legis lature will be held on the First Wednes day in October; for President and mem bers of Congress, on Tuesday after the first Monday in November; for county officers, the’first Wednesday in Janaary next. There are more evidences of pros perity in and abont Rome than there has been for years past, more improve ments, manufacturing establishments doing better, and some running day and night. All these things show pros perity ahead. We learn that the young men of Dougherty county will oppn the pleas ure season with a grand improvised tonrnament. About eighteen or twenty young men from city and country pro pose to enter, and the contest promises to be interesting and amusing. Airs. Julia J. Arnold died at her son’s, W. W. Arnold, of Lee county, the S’.h inst. . She was the danghter of the late Judge Eppiuger, of Pike, and the widow of W. Arnold, formerly of Zebulon, who died while a member of the Georgia Legislature in November, 1853. The grasshoppers are on the wing dow, but do not seem t:> do as much damage as when they were “skipping along" so spryly. They will soon lay their eggs and die. The damage to corn is not as great as was apprehended, and very little injury to cotton by them. Encouraging. The cotton crop of Bar tow will resell at least 10,000 bales, which, at S4O per bale, will bring the large amount of 8400,000. Add to > his large sum 8100,000 for lumber, iron, ores, wheat, outs, etc , and it becomes plain that this half million will pay every debt in that noble and wealthy county. Mrs Fannie Hall, of Walker county, near Pond Springs, gave birth to a child with two heads, one red and one black, two backbones, two hearts aud two stomachs, three arms and four bands and two legs. Dr. Price, the at tending pliysioiau, says it was two children from the waist up, and one from there down. So far as amusements incident to gen tlemen of leisure iu country towns are concerned, Newuan has lapsed into a state of profound inactivity. No mili tary companies, no base ball, not even a game of marbles; but politics and watermelons appear to be the prevail ing diversions for which cotton picking and corn shucking will soon be substi tuted. Scatter the Fall oats now with a lib eral hand, and so shall you* have fat cows and rich milk and butter during the Winter and an abuudant supply of boron food at harvest. The sorghum crop is huge, like the cattle upon a thousand hills. It is in more than a thousand fields, and will supply syrup enough to reduce the demand for ba con at least one-third. Whitfield county: Aggregate va'ue of whole property $2,417,800.

Taxable property iu Murray county amounts to something over $100,000; short of last year’s assessment near $lO,- 000; white voters, 1,050; oolored, 145; all Democratic or Conservative except abont 50. The sanitary condition of the peo ple physioally, morally and politically, never has been better ands ill there is a looking forward to a bright era wheu {rackets will be sufficiently inflated to li quidate private indebtedness. We And the following in the Cuthbert Messenger ; Cuthbert, Ga., August 13tb, 1876.—1 take this plan of inform ing my friends of Clay county that I have returned to my old home, aud that l am happy to find that my Democratic friends are doing all they can to save the great old State of Georgia from Rad ical misrule. 1 was for a long time a strong Republican, and felt that iu that party was the salvation of the country, butsiuce they have been in power fif teen years, I have become satisfied that their promises are as the wind, and that we need reform, aud that the Democrat ic party is the oulv one that can or will give ns the needed reform. I have, therefore, decided to thriw my humble influence with them, uml will addre.'R tnv friends of Clay oouuty, at 9 o’cloek, p. m , at the Court House in Fort Gaines on August 24th, 1876 Respect fully, J. R Holloway (oolored). Wonderful Preservation. —A provi dential escape is reported by the San Jose (Cal) Patriot, of August 1, as hav iug occurred on Saturday evening near that town. The freight train south to Gilroy had almost reached the crossing at Cobb’s rauob when the‘driver noticed a little creeping infant between the rails. It was too late to stop the engine, wbioh came up, uud with the oars passed over the spot where the little mite of human ity had been seen. The train was stopped as soou as possible, and a search made for tbe child. A minute later the little creature waa found doubled up on the cattle guard, which was within a few yards of where it had beeu sitting. Life was not extinct, and the body only slightly marked. On Sunday the con ductor stopped to inquire about the clitld; aud was told that, it was as well as ever, with the exceptiou of having both eye* blackened and a scratch ou its nose. The infant appears to have been lifted aud tossed clear off the line, re ceiving a few trifling scratches in its fall. It had crawled unobserved from a house close to the crossing. A Queer Thing in California. —A strange friendship has sprung up be tween two very dissimilar animals at Mrs. Stratton’s. A black rabbit came to the place some three months age and took up its abode. Mra. S. beeps oa j the place a couple of cows, and a short; time since the rabbit took up the strange habit of aeeping with one of; these cows. It goes to the now’s wont-1 ed place of rest, waits her coming, and j when arrived the motherly cow licks | the little protege with much the same affectionate tenderness that would be be stowed on a calf, the rough tongue ! nod tremendous licks nearly raising the little animal off its feet, and it the mean, j while bracing itself with its four feet to i stand the pressure. Then little punny puts its little nose up to the cow’s and appears to kiss it, after which the rabbit nestles np aud goes to sleep. It is a singular ißjdfellowship, the tiny bundle of fur and ears of perhaps three or four pounds with the unwieldy car cass of six hundred.—At. Helena Star. Terrible Acoidbei. —We learn that a youth named Bradley, apn of Jesse Bradley, living near Silverton, S. G., was struck on the head by the large wheel connected with a cotton gin last Wednesday and killed. Young Bradley wes driving the mole which waa the mo tive power of the machinery. The boy’s father waa in the room above attending to the gin. '(he cotton which was being ginned at the time was brought to Au gusta yesterday. Mysterious Disappearance. —Last Friday a printer named Geo. C. Coffin arrived in this city, having walked, he stated, over two hundred miles. He was in a very destitute condition. Sat urday evening he obtained admission into the City Hospital, where he re mained during Snnday. Sunday night he got through a window and departed, leaving his shoes in the ward. Nothing has been heard of him since. At Dallas, Texas, two men robbed the State Savings Bank in broad-day. sotrrn carouna. PALMETTO NEWB LEAVES. A Colored Democratic Club has been organized at Williston, and already num bers abont 25 members. A colored man in Greenville Thursday afternoon, reached through a window and stole Mr. Neal Evan’s gold watch. He was discovered and lodged in jail. Col. J. Wash Watts, of Laurens, some weeks ago published an article, showing how superior hay eonld be made of the common rag weed. Now is the time to cut the weed. Mr. Drayton Smith, Marshal of Union, was severely cut in the neck and face last week by Kay Paulk, whom he ar rested for disorderly conduct. Tbe wound is not dangerous. Already more Democrats have enrolled in the clubs of Anderson county than have ever voted in that county since the war. There will be at least 2,800 regular Democrats polled at the coming elec tion. A public meeting and barbecue will come off at Liberty Church in Bordeaux township, on Thursday, 24th instant. Gen. Butler, Col. Cothran, and other distinguished speakers are expected to be present, and a rousing meeting of the Democracy is anticipated. A negro by the name of Cato Jackson, living on Mr. W. W. Willis’ place, about four miles from Elko, was shot and kill ed by one Mr. Weemers, ou Wednesday evening last. Eye witnesses say that Mr. Weemers was justified in the act, as he was acting altogether on the defen sive. On Thorsday next, the 24th instant, the Palmetto Rifle Club of Aiken will celebrate their second anniversary bv a grand pic-nic at the Schuetzenplatz. The committee of arrangements have spared no pains to make the affair a success, and every one may expect a pleasant time. The work on Broadway trestle, on the G. k C. B. R , is progressing slowly, bnt is being done in a substantial manner. The rock foundation has been com pleted, and the trestle work will be put in as soon as possible. It is expected to be done by the first of October so that trains can pass. Last Saturday was two weeks ago a rifle company of seventy-six members was formed at Cade’s store, with the following officers: R. 6. Cade, captain; C. A. McClnng, Ist lieutenant; S. C. Link, 2d lieutenant; James Hester, 3d lieutenant; J. N. Belcher, orderly ser geant. Captain Hester, Mr. John Mc- Neal and Capt. R. B. Cade made appro priate speeches. Mr. Elmore Bowen, 6on of the late Sterling Bowen, died near Antreville, on Friday night last, of acute rheumatism. He was taken with a pain in one leg a few days before his death, which con tinued, grew worse and extended until the sufferer could no longer endure. He never had an easy hour from the time he was taken. He leaves a young wife and children to mourn his death. We learn that Mr. J. D. Welch was shot on last Saturday night, about 11 o’clock, at Seneca City, by a man named W. P. Powell, who had been quarreling with a vounger brother of Mr. Welch. The difficulty had been stopped by Mr. J. D. Welch, and as he started to leave the shot was fired, striking him in the left breast and ranging around his ribs until it came out on the right side about three inches below his arm. Washington White, an aged colored man living near Fort Mill, was found dead on the 22J ultimo, about one hun dred and fifty yards from liis house. He had been missing from his house since the Wednesday morning previous. Be fore the coroner’s inquest the wife of the deceased testified to the fact of his physical weakness, and gave it as her opinion that he died from exhaustion. J. E. Massey, M. D., testified that the body bore no marks of violence, aud that in hia opinion the deceased came to his death from exhaustion, produced by over exertion on account of his age and physical weakness. The verdict of the jury of inquest was in accordance with the foregoing facts. TIIE WAR IN THE WEST. St. Paul, August 18 —Capt. Collins, of the Seventeenth Infantry, arrived at Bismark from Fort Buford last night. He fails to confirm the squaw’s report of a recent battle between tue Indians and Terry’s forces. Scouts from Terry’s columns, two days out, arrived at Bu ford Monday evening. Couriers who arri>ed at the supply depot, at the mouth of the Rosebud, on the llih in stant, report that Terry’s command met the head of General Crook’s command early on the 10th. Crook’s men were following a large Indian trail in the di rection of the Powder river. Upon a short consultation between Generals Terry and Crook, the commands were united and proceeded on the trail that General Crook was following. The Fifth Infautjy was detached from Ter ry’s column and ordered back to stockade with instructions to take 40,- 000 men and rations, embark on the steamer Fur West aud patroll the Yel lowstone river as far as the mouth of Powder river and ascertain whether or not the Indians had succeeded in cross ing the Yellowstone. If not they are to prevent them. In the meantime, Terry and Crook will come down on them with their combined commands and force a battle. It is not positively known whether tbe Indians are ou the Tongue or Powdar river. Five hundred crows volunteered to join Gen. Terry. They were at • nee rationed and forwarded to him. They will be sent down the north side of the river with Gen eral Miles in command of the Fifth Infantry. The Pioneer Press and Tribune has a special dis patch from Bismarck this evening, con taining interesting news, additional to that already sent. The steamer Silver Lake arrived from above to-day. She reports that the steamer Far West was fired into a few miles below Fort Buford Tuesday by a party of about fifty In dians. No damage was done. Well armed Indians recently run off a herd of four hundred beef cattle from the Black Hills, killing all bnt one. A large num ber of horses have also been run off, the boys killing one Indian, and his head preserved iu alcohol will be sent to Washington when opportunity presents. Grey Eagle’s scalp by Dave Campbell was sent to the Bismarck Tri bune by the steamer Josephine, so that settles the question whether the fellow was scalped. Medieuie Cloud and par ty, belonging to the Fort Peck agency, whom Major Mitchell, Indian agent at Fort Peck sent to Sittiug Bull, with message May 27th last has returned to the agency. The message sent by Mit chell to Sitting Bull was to the effect, that he desired him to come aud visit Fort Peck, hoping that such step would result in his returning upon the reservat ion. St. Paul, August 19.—Sittiug Ball replies, July 27th, to Maj. Mitchell, of Fort Peck : Tell him I am coming be fore long to his post to trade. Tell him I did not commence the war—l am get ting old ; did not want to fight, but the whites rush on me and I am compelled to defend myself. But for the soldiers on the Rosebud, I, with my people, would have been there. If I was assur ed of the protection of the Great Father, I would go to Fort Peck for the purpose of making peaoe. I and the other chiefs want tbe Black Hills abandoned apd we will make peace. Medicine Cloud esti mates the hostiles at from 8,000 to 10,000 fighting men. They are living entirely on meat, which is hard to get, owing to the close proximity of the whites. The hostile camp is now on the Tongue river, south of the Yellowstone. Some is l.ai'gh and Some to Weep. Washington, August- 13. — The Presi dent left Washington to-day lor Long Branch. Several members o*f the Cabi net- are also absent. Captain Bancroft Ghcradi, United States Navy, has been j suspended for two years for punishing a S seaman contrary to law. Pay Inspector | Spalding, who was on duty at San Fran i cisco wtien his clerk, Pinney, absconded ! with Government funds, has been dis missed from the service. Pay Inspector j James N. Carpenter.of the Navy, having | been found guilty of neglect of duty, is suspended from rank and dnty for five ■ years. Long Branch. August 19.—Represent ative Meade arrived here to-day. He says he has not declined to serve on the Mongolian Gommittee and trusts Mr. Wilson will reconsider his determination not to serve on the committee in view of public importance of the investigation proposed and the general confidence in Mr. Wilson’s judgment. This wish of Mr. Meade he believes is shared by Messrs. Page, of California, and Hasson, of lowa. Personal.— Colonel J. W. Renfroe, State Treasurer, was in the city yester day on his way to Atlanta from Wash ington county. Colonel Renfroe has filled the office of Treasurer creditably to himself and acceptably to the State. He has discharged bis duty so well that there is no doubt of his re election by the General Assembly in Janaary. More New Cotton. —Messrs. Roberts & Morris received a bale of new cotton yesterday. A bale was also received by Mr. F. H. Stelling, classed middling, and sold to Mr. John Welsh at 12 cents. It was made by Leroy Shefer, colored, of Barnwell, 8. 0. An unsuccessful attempt was made on the night of the 18th inst., to throw an express train, via. Ahe Hoosac tnnnel on the Fitburg Road, DEATH OF SPEAKER KERR. Washington, August 19. —A dispatch was received here to-nigbt by the wife of Dr. Pope, Mr. Kerr’a physician, an nouncing tbe death of Speaker Kerr, at Rockbridge Alum Springs, this evening, at 7) o’clock. . A casket will be sent from this city to Rockbridge Alnm Springs to-morrow morning, in which the remains of tbe late Speaker will be conveyed to bis late home at New Albany, Indiana. There will be no official ceremonies at Rockbridge, though it is probable that several members of Congress will attend the remains to New Albany. There is a very general expression of sorrow here at tbe sad, though not unexpected news. Sketch of Hob. Michael C. Kerr. A brief telegram advises ns of the death of the Hon. Michael C. Kerr, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. Mr. Kerr was a native of Crawford county, Pennsylvania, where he was born in 1827. He repre sented the Third Indiana District, and was elected to the Speakership in De cember last. In his youth he attended the common schools of Crawford coun ty, and as be grew in years, engaged in teaching and improving his mind by pur suing a course of study and profitable reading. He graduated with distinction in the University of Louisville, Ky.— law being bis specialty. He commenc ed the practice of his profession at New Albany, Ind., where he soon came into favorable notice. He was elected to the State Legislature in 1856, and won new laurels in this new field. In 1862 he became reporter of the Supreme Court of Indiana. The five volumes of reports which he edited prove him to be a man of more than ordinary ability. He was a member of the Thirty-ninth Con gress and was re-elected in ’66, ’6B, ’7O and ’74. His course in Congress was conspicuous because of the faithfulness with which he adherred to the princi ples he sought to illustrate. Socially, Mr. Kerr was very attractive, and won for himself hosts of friends. Ab a public man, his record was consist ant throughout. In his death the coun try has lost a true son—one who never failed to respond promptly to the calls of dnty, and was never found wanting when duty was imposed. Peace to his soul! A THRILLING SCENE. One of tbe Victims of Turkish Barbarity Tells Her Story. The Daily News' correspondent at Prince Milan’s headquarters, writing ou the 20th, says: “Every tongue is charged and every heart is full of well-autheuticated tidings of Turkish atrocities committed on the inoffensive peasant folk of the frontier villages in districts where there can be no pretense for severity for military reasons. The men are gone from the villages of the Greuze; the victims are the miserable women and helpless chil dren. Burning, wreckinr, butchery, and violation constitutes, to all appear ance, the enjoined functions of the merciless Bastii-Bazouks and ruffianly Redifs, whom the Turkish commanders, keeping in fixed positions their regular troops, let loose with letters of marque to practice the utmost ingenuity of dev iltry. From the frontier district be tween Nisch and Alexinatz comes now similar tidings to those 1 telegraphed the other day as having been sent by Alempics from the western frontier about Beilina. No man who is not obstinately determined to be incredulous can ques tion the truth of these statements. Officers and soldiers who come down from the front authenticate them with tales of burnt villages which they have seen,; the mangled bod es of children lyiDg iu the gutters among the charred debris, headless tranks of Servian sol diers in plaoes where there has been fighting, men in the up-country hospi tals, with noses slit by knives as they lay helpless from their wounds. In the course of an afternoon’s ride I yesterday found my way into a little village on the hill slope, about the door of one of the houses iu which there was a group of women and children, with here and there an old man—all the able-bodied men are away to the war. Oa the settle under the projecting eves there sat a woman, draggled, miserable, aud forlorn, with a boy about 12 years old standing by her side; and around them the people had formed a semi circle, aud were looking ou with strange concerned patience of silence. The woman, too, was silent; she sat there in an apathetic reverie of despondency, with her eyes on the ground, and one arm around the boy. One of the women whispered something to my companion, a Serbian officer, whose face flushed, and whose mouth set sternly, at the low recital. Dis mounting, he approached the woman, and speaking to her, startled her from her abstraction. As he spoke, at first she was asleep seemingly and indiffer ent; her aspaot waa that of one with no interest in anything. But at length she kindled, and with flashing volubility poured forth the terrible story of her wrongs, which my companion hurriedly and by scraps translated to me. Delica cy, after all, is a relative term. An En glishwoman, if she could have brought herself at all to tell the shameful story of outrage and indignity which this miserable c eature had to recount of herself, would have spoken of her deg radation and its details with trembling lip and downcast eye. Not surely the less did this Selave woman quiver with the agony of her voluntary degradation because she told us of it—here before the people—with shrill voice and flash ing volubility of utterance. The per sonal outrages to which she has been subjected cannot be written down in their horrible circumstantiality; but you may realize how the recital thrilled her audience, if you recall the shuddering spasms, that vibrated through England when the earliest tidings, happily in one item of atrocity which they comprised not . true, reached us of the opening scenes of the Indian mutiny. Her cottage had been burnt before her eyes; of three children she had seen one, her baby, tossed about from sol dier, and then flung into the flames; of the second she knew nothing; the third, the lad who was now with her, had made his escape timeously, and joined her, from out the cove of a wood after she had been allowed to drag herself away from the scene of deviltry. Her relative lived, she said, in one of the hamlets of the Golubinge upland, and she had tramped thus far on her way to shelter herself among them. Her hus band had left for the army since the earliest days of the war, and she knew i otbing of his whereabouts. Their cot tage had been on the upland near the Grumada Poss. It is not far from this section of the extreme southwestern cor ner of Serbia, where is or rather was, the village of Jojun, of which Colonel Prolich yesterday reported from Al exinatz that the church, school and houses had been burned. Polijana, an other village in the same angle, is also reported by the same authority to have been desolated in a similar manner. Now, apart altogether from the more atrocity of these outrages, they are curious illustrations of the exceptional character of this war. The villages thus desolated are inside the Seabaiu fron tier. But the Serbian troops are in positions considerably outside the Ser bian frontier in this same direction; so you have the Turks in detached parties, not only between the Serbian columns aud their frontier line, but actually, af ter a fashion, reprisals in the shape of a mutual invasion. It is just as if, when the Germans were holding the country oound Metz, bands of French soldiery had deen desolating the German villages of Duttweiler and Neunkuchen and the district generally insido the valley of the Saar. THE STATE SENATORSHIP. Editors Chronicle and Sentinel: At the last Senatorial election iu this District the sovereigns, as the people are termed periodically, were appealed to on the question of rotatiq i, and it was decided affirmatively by a large majori ty. Cob Cain was rent to the Senate and right zealously and efficiently did he discharge the dnties of his office. In all his acts he recognized the fact that he represented the Eighteenth Senato rial District. At the expiration of his term he receives the plaudit : Well done / We are soon to elect Col. Cain’s suc cessor. The choice is in the hands of Glascock, unless she waives her privi lege. I have heard it repeatedly hinted, to put it mildly, that she will not insist npon her rights, but cheerfully give way to the next county in order—Richmond. If this be true, I desire to suggest, in connection with the position, tke name of a youDg geqtleqiaa who is in every way qualified for the high trust. He has had experience as a legislator, is wide awake to the interests of the peo ple, and would make a most excellent Senator. I refer to the Hon. B. Clay Foster. Semper Idem. August 18,1876.

Having been badly afflicted with Salt Rheum, aud the whole surface of my skin be ing covered with pimples aud eruptions, many of which caused me great pain aud aunoyance. and knowing it to be a blood disease, I took many of the advertised blood preparations among which was any quantity of Sarsaparilla, without obtaining auy benefit until 1 commenc ed taking the Vegeti e, and before I had completed the first bottle I saw that I had got the right medicine. Consequently, I followed on with it until I had taken seven bottles, when I was pronounced a wrell man. and my skin is smooth and entirely free from pimules aud eruptions I have never enjoyed so good health before, and I att ibu.e it ail to the nse of Veoltine. To ben-fit those afflicted with Rheumatism I will make mention also of the Vloetine’s woqrierf ill power of curing me of this acute complaint, of which I have suffered so intensely. O. H.

Lands Unsurpassed For FRUITS aM FABMING. Office South Florida Land Agency. I Fort Mason, Orange O nuty, Florida.) THE undersigned have entered info a busi ness arrangement for the purpose of lo cating settlers on the public lands (either United States or State) in this and adjoining counties. Located in the most delightful portions of Orange county, in a section of territory con ceded by all to be the best adapted to the cul ture of the orange and kindred fruits, and thoroughly acquainted with all the land*, in this vicinity, we are better able to give information concerning the lands still vacant than any others engaged in the land business in this county. The railroad now in couree of oonstrnotion connecting the St. John’s river at Lake George with Lakes Harris, Eustis, Gr.ffln, Dora and the other headwater lakes of the Oclawaha river, will furnish all the surrounding lands with ample transportation facilities and place settlers within easy distance of tho Northern and Eastern markets. THE CLIMATIC ADVANTAGES Of this section of territory are so well known as scarcely to need recapitulation. Vegetables and tropical fruits oau ha grown throughout the yeir without danger from cold. 'The severest frosts, of this lake region do not in jure vegetation, as was proven dining the past Winter, when the frosts killed early vegetables at considerable distances south of ’us and left this region untouched—not a blade of grass being injured. HOMESTEADS NEAR THE RAILROAD. We are now prepared to locate settlers on the public lanija in close proximity to the railroad. 0119 of the undersigned (Mr. John 8. Banks) has just completed a thorough survey of a iarge tract ot United States, lands, situated at from three to six miles distance, from the rail road. These lauds are not only admirably adapted 1 othe culture of oranges, but are also excellent for fanning purposes, and can be easily brought into cultivation, the old settlers in the vicinity raising an abundant supply of corn, ooiton, sugar, etc., upon them. GET A HOMESTEAD NOW. Parties who propose settling in Florida will find it greatly to their advantage to obtain their homesteads during the Summer months, aud thus avoid the rush ef the Tall months.

CIAIR-ABRAMS, Fort Mason, Orange coun‘y, Florida, To My Friesds in fctaorffin Alabama and sonib Carolina. In response fo many letters received by me, I have entered into a business arrangement with Mr. JOHN 8. BANKS for the purpose of locating settlers on the public lands of this and adjoining counties. Mr. BANKS is a prac tical surveyor of many years’ experience, and possesses a thorough knowledge of the public lands, having been United States Register of Public Lands in this State. We have ex plored and surveyed a considerable tract of these lands, and we are now prepared to locari settlers on a CHOICE HOMESTEAD'' a P 01 " 60118 wri .‘,cen we expressing, a vear^Twi 0 ! 6 t 0 - u ‘ a State during the present SSl,3“*® 1 would advise to OBTAIN THEIR NOW. In the Fall months the •Msfe of Northern settlers is ho great that it is i difflcult tb obtain choice homesteads; whereas at present the travel is light, and one can se lect a place with greater ease. In addition, the large tract of bcmlstead lands contiguous to the railroad, recently surveyed and opened up for settlement by Mr. BANKS, if not en , tered this Summer will inevitably be taken up ; by tfee first influx of Northern travelers next Fall. As my desire (without prejudice to Northern settlers) is to locate the numerous citizens of the States above uam r d on choice Homesteads, while able to do so, I urge them to make the selections at onoe, aDd thus se cure valuable and eligible homes in this State.
