The oversupply and the depressed condition OF
the market have tended TO lower values still
more, and yesterday another decline orcurreo.
In fact, there is no telling how Conc ,ssions will

MAYHEM ITEMS.

Our dry spell is past. We had a
nice rain Oh last Sunday evening.
which will enable the Changers to
get their wheat sown III good order.
Last week we had encouraging
news in regard to our Narrow
Gauge railroad. The surveyors have
finished their surveys from Kansas
City to Arrow Rock, and are now
correcting back OH the line that runs
south of Mayview. We wish to no.
tify Lexington in time that we will
soon contest her right to the county
seat. When our Narrow Gauge rail-
road is completed Mayview will rap
idly spread over hill and dale, aud
when this comc TO pass, woe unto
Lexington, for she will become u
curiosity of the past; for to her one
sided policy i'll regard to our county
improvements, like her geographical
county position, she may attribute
her final ruin and desertion.
Our Mr.. Keith. of the firm of
Warehouse s. Keith, our merchant
millers, has got back from his Kansas
City tour, where he went with SAIL
piles of coal from the banks hat are
near MAYHEM, that lie OH the route
of the proposed Narrow Gauge rail-
road. MIR. Keith took upon himself
the trouble to see That our coal was
fully put 10 the test. There was coal
in abundance for us to compete with.
There was the celebrated smelling
coal from Fort Scott, but the May
view coal was Tar ahead of it, Tor after
giving it u thorough examination IL
was found thai the coal taken from
Conn Il Jennings bank was far its
superior. Consequently our May
view coal was awarded The premium.
We have correct information that
certain gentlemen of prominence,
with capital, will be here shortly TO
examine our coal fields and make az
rangeInents to invest largely i'll the
coal trade. 1t beiiooves the farmers,
or those owning the land under which
the coal lies, along the line OF the
railroad, to give every encourage
ment that lies ill the power for the
development OF II coal mines /; Tor
through this channel we can reap u
good revenue, provided they do not
ask too much royalty on their coal
and drive capitalists from our midst.
1t is our opinion Thai u would be to
their interest to give o portion OF
their territorial coal rights gratis, or
i'll stock, to any company that will
develop our coal resources.
DIR. NJ. F. S,aley is still making
rheumatism a speciality, and those
thus afflicted would do well to call
upon him, ''if only 10 gctacquaintcd,"
for no can do us much for you us any
other doctor. DIR. Staley is u root
doctor of the first quality, aud if his
medicines does not curcit will do you
no harm /; tor take the doctor as you
will, there is no harm about him, as
all his neighbors will testify, for he
was raised in this county and is well
known by his country friepds.
Some people have 10 faith in the
medicinal efficacy Of '.roots aud
herbs" and arc prompt 10 dcnounce
