session on Monday last, passing upon the bills
Of the judges and clerks OF the late election,
and other bills. The bond for the new sheriff
elect was increased to twenty thousand dollars

to approve Mr.. Massey's bond TO that amount,
providing he procured certain names submit

when he declared that farmers did not bust III

Last Sabbath was day Of real quiet and
rest, such an one as this young city has seldom
II ever experienced. Throughout the day the

marked contrast indeed to the continued tramp,
jingle and rattle Of two months ago. 1t was
80 much like Sabbath that one could easily
have imagined himself in Topeka, Leaven-

Does it pay to farm in this valley! Pending
the discussion of the corn question by our
correspondents we rise to say that, having be-
come n little interested in the statements being
made We have been instituting few inquiries
among our farmers; and, before we forget Il,
would like to hear from the men who have
faithfully worked the past three or four years
in this valley, touching their success. The first
man that We struck was Mr.. VIM. Lockard,
quite an aged gentleman, who lives In Park
township. He informs Us that he came hese
four years ago last April, being one Of the early
settlers. All be brought with him was wagon
and pair of horses, two ponies, COW and cal
and three faithful young boys, who with him-
self possessed willing hands and cheerful hearts.
They settled upon homestead. The result
Of his four years. labor consists in ninety acres
under good cultivation, fine peach orchard,
q number Of promising apple trees, a thrifty
growing grove OF forest trees Of cottonwood,
gray ash, naples, black walnut, etc. His crops
have been principally corn and oats. He sold
last year products to the amount Of 81 ,3s6. .,
and this year to the amount 1913. He is out
of debt, and owns now in the way Of stock one
pair of horses, one pair Of mules. two ponies,
a colt and one hundred and ten head OF cattle.
he has sold 1000 bushel Of corn this fall, and
has corn left. We do not give MIR. Lockard's
experience as extraordinary or one worthy Of
particular note, yet we think his success de-
serving of mead Of praise.
