rRI-wEEkLY RECORD.

On Thursday of the present week we shall
commence the issue of Tri-Weekly edition
of the RECORD. 1t viii be published
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, early in
the morning, in time fer all of the mails, and
mailed promptly ut 81 year, in advance. 1t
will be of the same size of the Weekly, and
contain all of the Telegraphlc dispatches, To-
Gals, editorials and miscellany that is in the
Daily. The Daily is now on u firm basis, and
is fixture of Topeka. 1t is no longer prob
lem whether Daily will be published in To-
peka or net. 1t is a fixed fact, and it will con-
tinue, we presume, rs long as Topeka exists.
Those who have held back for fear it would
prove failure, can now come forward with Il
certainty that the RECORD lives, and that its
three editions will always come out promptly.
we have got up larger circulation for the Daily
in the first two weeks than We expected to- and
are more than satisfied. OF course we are los
ing money yet-we commenced with that eX-
peetation; but we see that the experiment is
going to succeed. We have already received
subscriptions on the line of the Railroad west
Of us beyond our most ardent hopes. We have
assurances that large edition of the Tri-
Weekly will be taken. The Weekly, at its
pre- ent price, will increase its circulation
largely. AS an advertising medium no paper
in the State will exceed the RECORD. The
three editions together will be read by moro
people than any other paper IN the State.
Fetch on your advertisements and keep your
names before the people. 25-4w

mental trees here. and is deyoting himself en-

gratuitous information to the people regarding

il determined that we shall be furnished with
all kinds Of trees for our public buildings,

OF our churches more than to inclose them with
nice fences and plant the lots in shade trees.
Besides making them a pleasant resort for

CLASS SONG

Now onr feet stand on the threshold
Ills the hour expected long;
And our hearts are sad, yet hopeful,
AS We sing our parting song;-
Sad to Leave these Halls of Learning,
Sad tO leave our friends so dear,
Sad to think no more we gather
AS we oft have gathered here.
But the world lies broad before us,
And our goal far yonder stands;
Bright-winged Hope is smiling DER us,
Earnest work awaits our hands.
From the School-house by the roadside,
Or the crowded city street,
Youthful voices loud are calling:-
Forth we go with willing feet.
Aid US, o our Heavenly Teacher;
Lead us on our devious way,
Till Thy Hand shall Grant diplomas
On Lies Graduation Day.

Our farmers unite in saying that. in all their
experience in Kansas, they have never known
so good prospect for all kinds of crops and
fruit. The amount of land cultivated is much
larger than ever titled before, whilst the pros

provements that are being made are of sub
stantial character. Large tracts of prairie are
being broken up and put under fence. \ vast
amount of fruit and forest trees have been
planted, and every friend to the country must
be pleased with the prospect.
