The attendance in our schools has
greatly Increased during the past two
week.. Abont $50 scholars are now
attending, and the next term will
doubtless commence with at least $50.
More room will have to 'be provided
before another winter comes around,
and the people OF the dIstrict ought TO
be taking steps toward that end now.
REV. j. A. Collins, of this place,
goes to Arkansas City this week on
missionary tour.
1t is fact worth noticing that
whenever one of our farmers sells his
place he at once sets about building
up another in the vicinity of the one
he sold. Mr.. A. T. Plowman recently
sold his farm on the Neosho, and has
already commenced on q piece of wild
land on the west side of the river.
Last week he went over to Emporia
and boughta considerable BIN OF fruit
trees at TRUTHS nursery, which ne will
set out in the spring. In that way he
will not be so long converting it into q
valuable farmps he was his last place.
Another change of time occurred
on the N. +. & T. last Sunday. The
express goes south At 1855 q. m. and
north at midnight. The accemmoda-
ton goes south about IL m. and north
at half past four.
The bond proposition to be voted
upon the 10th of next month has taken
the people up this way by surprise.
They, have been trying TO console |
themselves with the idea that no more |
county bonds would be asked in q
county shat had s4O0,OO0 of bonds
especially when we have
already two eastern railroad out
lets. When called upon last year to
transfer the stock of the county for
this new eastern road it was upon the |
understanding that that would dis
pense with the voting of any more
county bonds, Is 1t not time the
most to be benefited by the
roads shell out some township bonds
and not compel those localities that are
but little interested to pay an equal
part of the burden? After the county
mas voted bonds for two roads it seems
10 us the town that thinks other roads
would pay ought to foot the bills
Kansas City, Lawrence, Topeka and
,ther towns have adopted this policy,
md let their farming community out
If such enterprises. If this was to be
he last call the people might stand it;
out when we consider the other south,
vest and east roads that this one Is
to "draw," all of which will
rave to have bonds, we think it time
% reduce the size of the donations
'ather than enlarge them. For one We
lave voted for every railroad PROPOSE
ion up to this time; but We have done
o because We thought the county
leeded the roads we have. 1t seems
o US that there ought to be an end
Ometime to this bond business, and
he people can put an end to it II they
