Hartford.


Hartford is beginning to wake up.
Rogan, Wenger 6 Taylor have just
completed good substantial frame
building for Z Touring mill, which win
do credit to this part of the country.
Size 25x35 feet, two stories and a half
high above basement. The mill will
probably be running by the middle of
September. Said mill is situated on
abe south bank of Neosho river one
half mile north of town. We think
that the farmers would do well to give
this mill fair trial before going else
where.
Joseph Duckett is beginning to
build fine residence adjoining town.
Isaac Taylor is calculating to build
a residence in town right away.
"A. Ruby is making his residence
show by the use of paint and oil.
The farmers in the neighborlood

GRAND BUFFALO HUNT.
Excursion to Fort Dodge


For several weeks some of our citi-
zens have been talking up a grand ex-
cursion and buffalo hunt to the West.
Rev. C. E. Lewis has been active in
working the matter up, and it now
seems settled that the excursion will
take place. Cars have been secured
and the prelimi2aFies are being ar
ranged. 1t is proposed to go out to
Ft. Dodge about the LIST of October,
stay three or four days, or as long as
the eXcursionists may wish, take a
grand buffalo hunt, visit the places OF
interest along the line, and have good
time generally. 1t is now thought the
cost for the round trip can be reduced
to SO each passenger, or about one
third of the usual fare. Cars enough
have been secured to accommodate DDS
people. OF course it is proposed to
take the ladies along, and sociabilitv is
intended to be one of the leading fea-
lures of the occasion. We shall make
further announcement as the arrange
menCz progress. Those wishing to en-
gage tickets, or to obtain further in
formation will call on or write to Rev.
G. E. Lewis, OF this city.

His name was Mr.. Denny, and his
sun was descending the horizon of life.
He was hauling hay to town. About
the middle of last week he came in
with very large load, and on top Of it
was boy. Mr.. Denny was happy and
intended to go and bring in another
load that afternoon. The weather was
warm and dry. 1t WAS the seasea of
the year when wagon tires drop of.
Mr.. DenBy's wagon tire came of, and
still the load proceeded up street.. The
next thing noticed was a good chunk
of boy crawling out from under a
very large pile of hay, putting, and
sweating, and for ought we know using
bad Language. Mr.. Denny contem.
plated the scene under q considerable
degree OF mental excitement. The
by-standers expected him to "deliVer :
short address," commencing about Al
follows: "Condemn that dod-barnet
hay, and the whole capooble," but h
didn't do It. Mr.. Denny takes Tai
EMPoRIA News, and isn't that kind o
man. Even when about thirty tow
boys gathered around and commences
rolling la the hay and sticking IL abou
the street Mr.. ID. only calmly reH1arke
"get out, you internal little rag-a
, mullins, or VIII run the pltchfoF
, through you." It took a long Will
70 gather the hay up, and then ATI
= Denny came mp and got his NEws an
went home.

TO have a first-class glass and queens

A SUGGESTION. As hogs, horses,
cattle and every living and creeping
thing except dogs are free in Emporia.
we suggest to the council that they re-
peal the dog tax at once, in order
that people may not be prohibited
by the oppressive tax from keeping
dogs. We feel like raising our clarion
voice in behalf of human rights. Turn
the dogs loose so that they can catch
the fiea-dlstributing pig by the ear and
lead him from your kitchen and parlor
doors, and pnrsuade the gentle cow not
to make stables of peoples back
porches. Let us have free dogs. They
are needed now.
