ED OR.RDO.

CHIT-CHAT.-Our mail, due from Emporia
last Friday, arrived on Monday. Our mail
agent, Mr.. A. Blair, is the right man IN the
right place. The transient travellers are great-
ly indebted to him for the meritorious assist
ance they received at his hands, by safely land
ing them across the swelling Walnut on terra
Jfrna.
A strange freak of nature-didn't rain drop
all this week.
Sociables, Introductory entertainments,
are talked of. But few have their bump of So
ciability sparingly developed.
Prairie fires arc now, in Butler county, an
every day occurrence. Several farmers have
lost their entire crop of hay. To-day, one Mr.
Oliver, on Little Walnut, lost nine ricks of hay,
containing about four hundred tons. Others
have suffered likewise. Let our county papers
proclaim against burning our cattle range.
Considerable excitement prevails among po-
litical circles. Four candidates for Represent
alive are now stumping the county. But one
will be elected-Mr. Friend, of course, by Il
handsome majority of $50 votes.
We extract an infamous SANDER on one of
our best and purest citizens of Butler county,
from the Lawrence Tribune, published by old
honest p John Speer. He says: "a Texas

lily Endorsed by Texas paper of very doubtful
politics for any position he wants in Kansas
How does this sound, coming from a man who
is bound with bonds to appear before the U. s..
courts to account for the sum of $500, 600?
Shoe fly! We, the citizens of Butler county,
with the press of Texas, endorse Mr.. Friend
to the tune of $50 majority, that he (Friend)

and will be elected to the coming Legislature
to kick and ride over and put down all such
political "sore heads as Messrs. Clarke &
Speer. Mr.. f. is the man to do it.
We are glad to chronicle the fact that THE
DAILY EMPoRIA NEWS is to be our regular
daily visitor. Our business men should take
it and patronize 1t. Emporia, the city that is
so well known throughout the United States,
is the best point for to look to in our general
business transactions. The editors of this pa
per are our warmest friends, and we may rest
assured that justice will be our reward.
