MIR. EDITOR As it has been some time since
our quiet little village has been spoken of in
the columns of your paper, thought perhaps
few paragraphs would not be amiss.
Our new school house is now finished and
ready for use.
Our merchants are receiving their fall goods.
Hay making seems TO be the order of the day.
The grist mill is running day and night
Our mechanics all seem to be busy doing up
their fall work. The firm of A. L. Teal & Co.
are doing fine business.
The man that thought the restrictions were
forced upon the young lady by the family in
which she resided, had better take care of his
own wife and babies.
We have plenty of pocket stoves here i'll this
place, though some of them are of IL different
pattern from the one you spoke of in the last
number of THE NEWS. Some are in the shape
of log cabin; others look like bottle of Red
Jacket. and some resemble quart bottle filled
with red eye. They work admirably. It only
takes short time to make aman look red in the
face. Some are too aristocratic to buy stove
of their own, but they will go out in some Sc
cret place and warm themselves by somebody
else's fire.
The man that upset tho fish keg had better
keep his feet on the floor.
We have increased our professional list by
adding new doctor to our place.
In short, the Rapids is getting to be quite an
nteres ting place. LIB.

CANDIDATES.
SHERIFF.

TO the People Of Lyon County:
Upon consultation with few friends from
different parts of the county. am induced to
announce myself as candidate for the Office
of Sheriff. do this, LIST, because desire the
position; I'd, because feel that am compe-
tent to fill it; and Sd, I have reasonable assur-
ance of fair support. If elected at the ap-
preaching fall election, assure the people of
this county that it will be my aim in my Off
cal capacity to come up to the Jetfersonian
standard and discharge the duties of the Office
''honestly, faithfully, and Il trust) capably."
A residence of seven years in the county has
enabled me to become quite familiar with all
parts of it; and while this is no ground upon
which to stand for the support of the people,
still state the fact, because during this time
having quietly pursued my daily labor, may
not be so we'll known as some of the other can
didates who have not so closely attended to
private business. I belong TO no clique and
run i'll no ring, but should be glad to receive
the votes of candidates for all other offices,
and those of my competitors, who will certain
" be too modest to vote for themselves. But
over and above this, I rely for success upon the
people of the county.
If, upon being satisfied as to my integrity
and qualifications, you can give me your sup
port, can only promise in return for your con-
fidence a faithful discharge of the duties of
the office, if elected. f. II. COATS.
Sept. 10th, 1869.

NEGLECTED.-We have hitherto neglected
to notice the departure from our midst of Col.
j. III. w. Mills, formerly town clerk, and an
employee in BancrOft's Land Office. 1t is with
unfeigned regret that we learn of the Colonies
sudden demise. He has gone out from among
us and will return no more forever. With the
most profound respect and admiration for his
many virtues, we hope he may live to a good
old age and that peace and prosperity may ut,
tend him tn rough life-and everything seemed
to say, farewell brother Crawford"

BoARDING.-The large number Of strangers
daily arriving, and the presence Of so many
Normal scholars, has rendered il almost i'm
possible TO get boarding in town. Strangers
are turned away because they cannot get
houses to live in nor places to board. We
think it would be highly profitable for some
one to put up two or three good boarding
houses. Our hotel accommodations have not
been sufficient to entertain the travelling pub
lie. The National House is continually crowd
ea-in fact there is a perfect jam there all the
time and still people continue to come. Some
of our citizens should put up some good board
ing houses. We should have sufficient ac-
commodations for all those who desire to re-
main here. Persons who would build residen-
ces here or go into business are prevented from
doing so because they cannot get house room
while they can build. Let us have two or
more good houses Immediately.

have heard much said about the Touring
mill being built by Patty & Furnace, but had
no opportunity of seeing it until Monday last.
1t is undoubtedly tirst-class piece of work
manship as far as it is completed. The walls
are built entirely of stone, two and half stO-
ries above water. Size, thirty by fifty-three
feet. 1t is now ready for the rafters. 1t will
probably cost the firm $4,000 or $4,000, but
they will be duly compensated for their labor
and expenses by the people of this great wheat
growing valley. Farmers are impatiently
waiting its completion.

THE NEW BRIDGEs.-The work on our new
bridges is progressing rapidly. We visited

Robinson. Both the abutments are up at the
NeOsho bridge. That on the south bank of the
Cottonwood is up, and Mr.. Roberts is pushing
ing the work on the one on the opposite side.
Many persons are OF the opinion that the Com
missiOners are making mistake in not putting
wings walls on the south abutment Oh the

TEMPERANCE MEETING.-We had the pleas
ure of attending the public meeting of the Sons
and Daughters of Temperance, ut the NJ. E.
church, on Monday evening. Good addresses
were delivered by Z. NJ. FOOte, Rev. Mr..
Noyes, F. G. Hunt and Rev. Mr.. Overstreet.
The singing, under charge of Prof. Havenhill,
was also good. This Society is doing much
good in our community in awakening an in
terest in the cause of temperance. We hope
these meetings be given frequently. Our citi-
zens can spend an hour, not only pleasantly,
but profitably, by attending them.

former place.

ton, that a city life in Emporia, surrounded
by so many congenial spirits, is preferable to
