Both Wichita and Eldorado are to have
National banks, if we are to believe the papers

OUR PoPULATIoN.-Cowleyc county cast
965 votes at the late election, Notwithstanding
it was on a bad, stormy day. SiXty-fiye yot-
ers in our own township are known to have
been absent from the polls. The whole num-

have been looking up lands in this neighbor-
hood during the past week, with the inten-
ton Of settling liberalization Center Record.
The Fuller house at Marion Center is said
to be, in every respect, good hotel. Moth
ing adds more to the reputation of town than
a good hotel.

gone out on the Cimeron to spend the winter
hunting and trapping. So the Times informs

principally apple, have been brought into this
part of the country. We are glad to know of
this fact. man who will own quarter
section of land for more than a year without
planting fruit or other trees, is not wanted in
this section of the country. He had better
sell out and go little further west.-AugustG
Republican.
The Augusta Republican is agitating the
bridge and sidewalk questions. They are
things which no live town can do without.

rejoiced at the prospect of a new church
building in Eldorado. Through the exertions
Of Rev. Mr.. Gordon, formerly pastor of the EN-
pOria Presbyterian church, three thousand
dollars have been raised in Eldorado for the
object. The editor thinks Eldorado needs a
few church buildings. We suppose there
will be no difference of opinion on that point.

Eldorado, are going to open a store in Doug
las. So says the Eldorado Times.
w. ?. Hackney was elected Representa-
tive in Sumner county. Hackney is a good
