respectively, and they can make music that
is really soothing and pleasing to listen to
at respectable distance.

citizens, pulled up stakes on Tuesday last

are sorry to lose such energetic and useful
citizens, but we know that our loss will
he Kansas gain, and as regards the gen

Subscribers to county papers will,
after June Both, have to pay postage of
five cents quarterly, as the free circulation
of newspapers in the counties where pub
Iished will be among the things of the past

new dispensation. We don't advise any
one to pay a full years postage in advance,
/ however for we much mistake the spirit of
! the press if they don't see to 1t that the
/ next Congress shall wipe this infamous tax
on knowledge from the statute books.

cent. added to their taxes. OF this al
have due notice, and need not complain Il
it costs them ten per cent. to get their ta1
into the Treasury.
