MIR. John Francis, Of lola, the newly
appointed Safe treasurer, and Mr.. Louis
Walker, editor Of the lola Register, made US
a pleasant call on Monday. Mr.. Francis was
on his way to Topeka to assume the Office

Governor. We have known John for a good

least, the Governor bss struck the right

The Winfield Courier Gays:
"We have reason to know, too, that the
state sgeLt of Kansas, has been systematically
swindIing The subordinate Oranges, by selI-
ing them blanks which he had already b. en-
paid for, or which had, at least, been fur
nished him for free distribution. No won
der, gentlemen Granger', that your state
agent can furnish blanks cheaper than any
printing Office in Cowley,' or any other
county, when they cost him nothing, or he
gets paid twice for them. Keep your print
ing fund and pay it out ut home. 1t will do
YOU far more good than to send it to some
big eastern city"
GA Tuesday last, we were favored with
a short call from DIR. J. J. Crook, :. general
soliciting agent and correspondent. for the
Laavenworih TINES. Mr.. Crook reports
the most gratifying success IN sthe canvass
throughout the State. We are indeed
pleased that such il the case, for We are can
did when We say. that in our opinion the
Leavenworth TINES ia tie paper Of the
State. We object TO Anthony putting the
subscription prise at 81, for it ruins the cir.
culation Of such papers as ours, but if he can
afford to do 60, an much the bet.er for the
proprietary Times.
We must compete with the St. Louis
Globe and Chicago Inter- Ocean, We in
s:ruct our travelling men to refuse all orders
for job-work, however, and expect that the
people will take their own county papers,
whatever NAV be the rate Of subscription.
The Atchison Champion gives a re.iaur-
ant of that town puff of this kind:
1.-THE noted receptacle for dead cate, spoilr
oysters and rotten fish inst east and under
the causway leading from Commercial street
to the Fifth street bridge can be easily
drained and filled from the emtankment

sirgle day. The fumes from this cessPool
and the deposits of the filth and nastiness Of
Commercial street begin to send forth I'm.
savorv and sickbipg smells more numerous
in their distinctive origin and more ofeL-
sive than can possibly be commingling Of

There are 900 sections OF a. good land
in Marshall county ss there can b. found in
the State. There Is better water power here

auctions OF this county last year amounted to
about two millions of dollars. Wood and
water ia plentiful and we'll distributed over
the county. Two competing lines of rail-
road traverse the county from east to west,
and north and south line IL sure to be built.
Land is cheap, and good echools and churches
may be found in every neighborhood. Why
