NEoSHO RAPIDS.

For the past two months we have
been repeatedly assured that tie
mighty men of the Democratic party
of this place were forming joint stock
company of their prolific brains for the
purpose of utterly annIhiiating the
GRANTEES, &c. The dreaded day ar
rived; the hour approached and the
mail bag came, and in it was the hunt
Ledger, containing a letter from the
Rapids, signed observer" The Re
pUblicans all rose to their feet, uncov-
cred their heads and stood in reveren-
tial awe, while one of their number at
tempted to read what we all supposed
to be our political F'death warrant"
During the reading the most profound
silence reigned throughout the room,
until it came to where it read: "The
Greeleyites are steadily gaining
ground, and feel sure of victory in
November next" The sudden transit
ton from sober sereneness to I'M
bridaled mirth and boisterous laughter,
can never be described. The p. NJ
succeeded in restoring partial order in
the room, when a voice cried out,
"Where is Dick Hawkins ?" which
brought the house down, and three
cheers for Grant. Vote for Greeley
and bet your horses on Grant, and
still feel sure of a victory in Novem-
Der next! That is good joke on con-
sistency. You must have learned it from
the white hated philosopher himself.

victory rolls around. observer" ill
please tell US which of the Kansas
pioneers is halting between two opin-
ions-is feeble minded or good for
nothing. Show your hand next week,
and convince the people that you are
not looking through a pair of magni-

We merely heard OF Il Juvenile

bride and making good his escape.
We are not aware of any of the parti-
culars, only that it occurred near Hart

+. An Ace beat by q Jack! a queen
mixed up in the game! Two hearts
made one by Rev. C. c. Dewese, at the
residence of the brides father, on Sat-
urday, September II, 1872. The happy
parties were both residents of this
place. Mr.. John. Mcleod to Mrs. Sue
Mcdaniel, both of whom have a host
of friends who will breathe a secret
prayer for their mutual welfare and
future happiness. We would recon-
mend our friend Ace TO follow the ex-
ample set by his brother Jack.
Our much esteemed friend and
fellow townsman, James GruWeA, who
has been On a visit to Iowa, returned
last night, looking better than when
he left.
BLOW yc your trumpcts, Hartford
and Americus.) Give US more about
your cheese factories. We are content
with having produced the largest and
best apples and peaches at the great
and grand collection OF the first fruits
of Lyon county for the State fair at
Topeka. @
Our friend Overly had fine lot of
extra peaches, which he had engaged
by sample, at 81 per bnshel, at Empo-
ria, but he subsequently ascertained
thatsome friend had not only gather
ed them but had taken them to a diff
ferent and unknown market. This
unprinclpled and bold peach thief
should be looked up and punished
severely. FIDEI DEPRNsoE.
