The only well that is likely to commence flowing at any time is Grandins & Kelly's No. 16, which was nine feet in the sand with about ft thousand feetof oil in the hole at last accounts. There are but few wells drilling there at present and we learn there is a movement on foot to shut down op erations for tho winter. What this effort will amount to cannot be told just now, but from tho talk we are led to believe there will not bo a great deal more drilling there this winter. The Hunter well across the river has the same fishing job on hand that wo reported last week, but they will probably have the hole cleared this week. Dutch Hill Hunt. Tho Dutch Hill boys indulged in another hunt last Saturday which,, to judge from the score, must have been a success. The supper was had at Mr. Kiser's iu the evening, and was considered by the losing side the best part of the hunt. Following is the score : Abo Weller, capt..l!i."

The Festival at Clarington Church for the benefit of the same to go to the pastor on salary account was a sucess. The road from Clarington to Button wood along by the creek is nearing completion. Platform dances seem to have been having a boom out in this section this summer. Not just in our midst but rather in the vicinity. Our new minister's name is W. E. Fraojpton. We hope he may secure aod bear the good will of all the peo ple he comes amongst as a fellow man and fellow helper to a life exalted and pure. There is no harm at all in lending the preacher a helping baud. The world would wag very illy indeed if it were not for ministers end their work.

Thinking a letter from this part of he country might be of interest to at least a few of the readers of your pa pers, I venture to write. I have re cently had the pleasure of hearing a sermon delivered by Rev. J. F. Hill' formerly of Tionesta now of this Co. It always makes my heart rejoice to see some one (though but a stranger) from my old home. The emigration to this county during tne past sum mer and fall has been greater than at any former period since I have been bere. The Government and school lands have all been settled upon, and but little Railroad, and remains un sold. The latter having almost doub led in price since I came here. Im proved farms of 80 acres which could have been purchased for about $400 then, cau not uow be bought for less than $1000; $200 would cover all im provements that have been made since euch places were for saleat$l00. The time is fast drawing oa when per sons with but small means will find it about as difficult to purchase a farm here as in older settled countries. There are occasionally good firms that can be bought cheap, where the owners desire a change of residence caused by a desire to go back to their old homes, or have become disgusted with the winds here, (aud it isn't a very desirable country to be iu where the wind takes a notion to hold sway. Aod this is my greatest objections to this country,' but when there is a calm I forget all about "blustering Kansas" and think of it only as "Sun ny Kansas." Some perhaps become discouraged, having failed to reach the height of their aspiration and will sell cheap iu order to get away. I have eudeavered to find the cause of some people's dissatisfaction with this country, aud have futiud as a general rule that it existed among that class of people who had spent at least half their livos elsewhere tryiog to save something hut had failed, came to Kansas fully expectiug)to become rich iu a very few years. Failing to ac complish iu so short a time, what they had speut as many years aiming at aud shot so wide the mark, they condemn the couutry. I think I can safely say 9 out of 10 go away with more money than they brought with them. Crops have beou very good for the past two years. Wheat averaged at least 25 bushels per acre; many farm ers raised 40 bu., while but few raised less thau 25; tho average price being about 75 cents per bu. Oats yielded from 25 to 100 bu. per acre; averag ing probably 35 or 40. A farmer living a short distance from here raised 1100 bu. from 10 acrss. Oats aie being sold at from 15 to 20 cts. per bu.; they usually briug 30 iu the spring. Corn av. about 35 bu. of shelled per a. last year; this year it is said to bo better, although but little has been gathered yet. Just iu this immediate vicinity tit is not good. About harvest it looked exceedingly well, but we failed to get rain when it was ready to ear, consequently it is poorly eared ; that planted quite late is good. Tho southern part of the county bad more rain than we had here, and they say that corn was nev er better. The only profit in raising corn is in having stock to feed it to, es hogs sold fiom 4 to 7 cents per pound duting the year, and cattle from 3 to 5 cents. 8ome farmers have but just finished making hay. This is a crop that is greatly neglect ed here ; it is left until almost all cith er work is done, and almost matures on the ground before it is cut, conse quently contains but little substance. We have had no frost here yet, though we have had some cool weather. The winters are generally open here so that a man can plow almost every month. We have Eome very severe weather but it lasts bat a short time usually. Coal is. worth about '$5.50 or $6. per ton ; I burn wood ; this costs about $20 a yean Wages have ' been good.; Teams receive $3.00 per day ; , single hands .from $1.50 to' $2.00 per day. Carpenters receive from $2.50 to $3.00. Work of all kinds has been rilentv. One trip&t: hd vnnf aa harp i - j r ; th . , everything raiEed is ready,' sale and for cash. '; ', .

'decided -that a person with the. same .capital can do better here than there,,,. In: fact I am. better satisfied with the country here each year that I stay. Wishing my Forest County friends success in all their undertakings, I am r'epectfully ' Your Friend, R. C. Shriver.
