The following letter written by
our fellow townsman A, J'. Culley,
to the Corn Belt appeared in that
paper in its regular issue of this
mouth (June) and is a good repre
eentation of facts concerning our
prespect for a good crop and future
prosperity. Mr. Culley ha* wiitten
several letters this spring to the
Inter Ocean, Cors Belt and other
leading eastern publication* which
will do much towards bringing
home-seekers to our state, and par
ticularly to tbit part. No doubt
the eouthern land speaulators have
done, and are doing a great deal to
prejodioe the eastern bome-aeeker
against the advantages offered here
in the west, and by so doing induce
them to settle in the south. Mr.
Culley has written these letters for
the purpose of refuting the state
ments of misrepresentation made
by these southerner*.
