THE SOUTHWEST,

Judge Brown, of Cottonwood Falls,
is announced as a candidate for re-
election.
WHO WAS He ?-We have it from
one who ought to know, that the gen.
tleman sent to preach honesty and re-
form to the people of this county, last
| Friday afternoon, like the unfortunate
Big Rats Brown, took too many 'Esoft
| shell crabs" while in Emporia.-Chase
County Leader.

short time ago, while building house,
on Sharp's creek, was suddenly para
lyZed and fell, striking his head upon

Chase County Leader.
ToUGH.-We have heard some pref
t. tough stories this fall, but the fol-
lowing from the Chase County Leader
"takes the rag" While we are not at
all disposed to dispute brother Nor
sons word, we ask him, for the sake
of cornffelds in surrounding counties
which have done their alevel BEST" if
he can't fall wagon load or two.
sos bushels on little over an acre is
rather too muchly:
"Wm. Foreman has raised "some
corn" this year. The ears average
twelve inches in length and contain
sixteen to twenty rows each. On q
little over an acre of ground, twenty
six wagon loads, running twenty
three bushels to the load, were gath
ered."
FAnURE.-The great Liberal meet
ing advertised at Cottonwood Falls, a
few days ago, was a fiat failure, none
of the great guns on the Half-breed
ticket who are going to beat SO many
fellows on the Republican ticket, hav-
ing put in an appearance to edify the
masses. Four men and Sam Wood
appeared at the hall, at the hour adj
vertised. When it was found that
none of the perambulating statesmen
of the Liberal circus were on hand,
the four men got the impression some
way that Sam was going to speak,
when they incontinentIy fed from the
vicinity.
The sweet voice of the sorghum
mill is heard in the land, and whole
