The first Agency City News-Boy is received. It is a very neat, well printed 6-column paper, has a fair share of home advertising, and its selections and original articles have the ring of the true metal in them. We had faith that Will D. AXLINE would do well in his enterprise, and this first number of the News-Boy shows our faith was well grounded. Abundant success attend him.
A train containing a colony of 210 persons, and carrying the household goods, animals and agricultural implements of the whole party, left Burlington the other day for Red Oak Junction. The colony will settle on the lands lying in the vicinity of Red Oak.
