TENTS PROM THE REGISTER.

We clip the following items. from
the Emporia Real Estate Register, for
August.
Wheat allowed tn stand two weeks
in the shock, waiting for the TIRES her,
will lose ten per cent. in value. Four
times the cost of stacking.
The chinch-bug has gone, but the
politician has taken its place. Good
Lord, send back the bugs. We never
appreciate our blessings until we have
lost them.
A correspondent of the Common
wealth proposes to punish by fine and
imprisonment any one who shall here
after SOW any spring wheat in this
state. Consent.
A private business letter from
Bloomington, ILL.,, says: "We have
had no rain for six weeks; thermome-
ter 1O2 in the shade.''
Poor drOuthy Illinois, we pity you.
The new combination Freight Tariff
from Chicago to Emporia is as follows:
1st class 81 As; End class S1.15; Sd class
.95 4th class .75; special .65. Freights
from st. Louis to Emporia are ten
cents less on each class.
A sample of Miller's Combined Hot
Air and Steam Fruit Dryer, of which
we have heretofore spoken, has been
received and can be seen for few days
at the store of Bruner s. McMurtrie,
afterwards it will be at the premises
of George Waite for trial. Next
month we shall be able to express an
opinion of its merits.
Don't send any more money out of
the county for wagons and carriages,
when you can get better article for
less money at Ryan 6 Corners. They
are doing all that two live, energetic
men can to build up manufacturing in
our midst, and we advise our readers to
give them their custom. The only sure
way to build up town is to patronize
home industry.
The average yield of wheat in Kan
sas has ranged from sixteen to seven
teen and a-half bushels per acre.. This
includes winter and spring varieties.
By banishing spring wheat altogether,
and adopting improved culture for the
winter varieties, the average can east
ly be raised above twenty bushels per
acre. 1t costs much less to raise thir-
ty bushels on one acre than on two or
three. Try it.
Those who sowed fax this year are
generally satisfied with the results.
The avearge yield of seed is II bushels.
1t brings readily s1.25 per bushel in
this market. The value of the flax is
not yet determined. Fosbender has
shipped bale of it, and as soon as he
gets returns, will establish market.
Some one should put up breaker here
so as to save freight on so much use
less weight.
That perennial nuisance, the light
ning-rod man, is On the rampage again.
There are probably enough silly peo-
people still living TO afford them a
good living by purchasing their worth
less trash. The field of operations for
this class of business is mostly in the
country. Experience has proved that
a building is little more likely to be
struck by lightning with than without
u rod. Give all these smooth takers
a wide berth.
Those who think the farmers of this
county are dead had better interview
J. NJ. Griffith & Bro. They will find
that they have sold more agricultural
implements this season than eyer be-
fore. You can get everything you
want at their store, from a mouse-traP
to threshing machine. Their store
is headquarters for all central and
southwestern Kansas. You not only
get good goods, but you get them at
bottom prices.
There is only one thing connected
with the dry goods business that New
man s. Co. don't know. They don't
know anything about dull times. Their
store is so thoroughly packed with
SOOuS anu CuSIOAOlS bboS IhCIC 10 AlO
room for hard times. There are more
goods in their store than in some whole
towns which aspire to be rivals OF En-
pOria. A more gentlemanly set of
statesmen are not to be found in a days
travel.
A man must be very ignorant IN
deed who don't know VIM. Clspp. We
wish to say for the benefit of strangers,
that he keeps the best stock of boots,
shoes and gents furnishing goods to be
found in this part of the state. He is q
practical workman himself, and knows
a good boot when he sees it,. He won't
tell you an article is good unless it is
so. Try him and see.
