AME RICUS.

n. F. Noll, OF this place, sold
5000 bushels of corn last week, to Eos
bender, of Emporia, for 80 cents per
bushel, delivered on the carsin Amer
icus.
We know of two farmers in this
township who took samples of their
wheat last week, first to the Americas
mills and then to Emporia, and they
were both offered five cents more for
their wheat here than at Emporia. This
verifies our statement last week that
farmers can get as much for their grain
here as in Emporia.
-Americusi is bound to hold her own
in point of population. Two day is
getting to be the ratio now. Last Mon
day the first "arrival" was a daughter
TO W. c. Miller, and the next a ten
pound son to William Fliekinger.
On two or three occasions lately
clouds of grasshoppers have been no.
ticed in the air moving south, and in
some localities in this township consid-
cradle numbers of them have dropped
down, though we have heard of their
doing no damage yet. Still their ap-
pearance makes the farmers uneasy
about their wheat, and some are not
going to sow until the danger is known
| to be past. Other farmers have stop
ped their sowing on account of the
chineh bug, which is Matching by mil
lions In some places and destroying the
wheat as fast as it comes up.
One individual paid out two hun
dred and eighty-five dollars in this
place, last Saturday night, for labor
performed during the week in putting
up hay. His force put up three hun
dred and twenty-five tons during the
week. The balance of the pay comes
when the hay is measured. That's
what makes labor scarce about Amer
icus.
Joseph Ernst, the nominee OF the
farmers for County Treasurer, is not
deficient in qualifications as some who

A WORD TO TRAVELLERS! I'VE have
word to say in favor of the Missouri
Pacific railroad. It was the ''pioneer'
line Westward and is the sold reliable"
route to st. Louis. With the improve
ments which have been made during
the past year, we believe that the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad has the best
track and the finest and safest equip
ment of any line west of the Mississ-
ippi. It is the only line which runs
three daily express trains of fine
coaches and Pullman sleepers, equip
ped with the Miller platform and the
patent air brake, from leading points
in the West, through Kansas City, Sc
dalia and jefferson City to st. Louis
without change, connecting at st.
Louis with eleven different through
routes TO points North, East and South.
Particular information, with maps,
time tables, &C., may be had at the
various Through ticket" railroad sta
tions in the West, or upon personal or
written application to G. II. Baxter,
Western Passenger Agent, Kansas

sack Frost" is the cAap We are afraid
of.
The corn crop is ripening up very
fast, and will be about two-thirds as
good as last year. There viii be no
failures, while some fields will yield so
bushels per acre, perhaps more.
-Potatoes have gone up-in price,
at least, as we find no trouble in SELL
ing at S1.00 per bashel. Am afraid
seed potatoes will be scarce, as the
crop of late potatoes will be light.
The chintz bugs are at work yet,
to the detriment of much of the wheat
sown. We object to sowing wheat
late, but some fields have been "bug-
ged' to death. The parties win sow
again in few days.

by C. F. Pierce, Esq. The supper was
most excellent, and was enjoyed to the
fullest extent by the attendants. The
decorations were pleasing. We heard
numerous compliments for the ladies,
and especially for Mrs. A. n. Hanna's
delicious coffee. Several of them are
worthy Of special mention, but we
have only room to say that Mrs. C. F.
Pierce, who was most acslye In getting
up this affair, and In It's management
during the evening, deserved and re-
celyed the thanks OF an, spF her super
Tor skill in pleasing the public. By
the way compliments were showered
upon her, We Judge her efforts were
! appreciated.
