i The Solomon City Newspaper has suspended
theAbilene Chronicle man having purchased the
accounts and good wiIl'' OF that paper. The
Solomon City people are very foolish to allow
as good paper as the Newspaper to die from
lack of support. We don't know, however,
as we could expect aught else from such 4
sleepy people as they are. 1t will be many a
day too. before they can induce as good a
newspaper man as Hart 10 cast his lot with
them.
/ 1t was nuddy Tuesday. and the mud was
| frigltful to lock upon. Hence that gallant
young man sheltered the auburn beauty" in
his arms, as his carriage was driven By our Of
| fec. 1t was right that she should thus be
shielded and not be allowed to ''slop over" in
to the mud. 1t was legitimate, and breathes
there man with soul so dead who dare deny it:
| 1t is an estimable privilege granted unto us by
the laws of our land and the constitution TO
put our arms around whom we choose. Es-
pecially was it the privilege of that young
man 10 ''encircle" that fairlady-others would
have done it under like circumstances. We
are not disposed to blame, nor will we. There
was nothing wrong about it, if it was broad
daylight. 1t was all right.
The election for voting bonds 10 clear up the
debt ON account of building furnaces, putting
in clock and furniture at the school house.
takes place in about three weeks. The vo tiers
should bear in mind that this debt must be paid.
and that tic school district can better afford to
pay it now than have suit brought against it
for the same. There is no money in the district
treasury for paying this kind OF a debt and the
voting of the necessary amount of bonds is the
cheapest I'd best remedy TO put us out of
debt We hope that the voters will look at
this matter in the right light and not allow
prejudices or past differences in school matters
to influence their action and blind their better
Judgment. The election was to have taken
place to-day, but has been postponed on &C
count of some irIegularity in calling il.
Some ..nefarious'' individuals, who are OF a
iocular turn of mind and have little respect for
obesity and the disciples OF Blackstone and
Coke, have proposed match game OF base
ball, to take place at an early day-bctween
tie fat men and attorneys oil Salina. The
svph like forms of such Men as weigh over
200 pounds are to be brought on to the field TO
face 'the ball and the bat, and war against a
solid wall of fat such as is contained in a
mine" made up of parties who weigh in the
neighborhood Of 100 pounds. In other words
friend Hitler will race for the first base upon
which will stand Fleck who VIII turn n double
somersaut and catch the ball before it bounds.
1t will be the game of beauty rs. talent. A
considerable amount of amusement would be
afforded to spectators were this rcmarka-
bic combination of intestnes, Sims and bones
TO exhibit at Saina,> ~ last accounts tfie pro
grainme was nearly made up.
Two finer groves cannot be foundfn Kan
sas than those on either side Of Iron Ave
nue., adjacent to W. Il. Gels y<sidence. Either
one of them would mak/a haudsomc city
park. asd one of them " think can be OBJ
tanned for that purpo,e.F We hope the city au-
| thorities will sooa arrive at the conclusion
that now iSt+e-4+oSt convenient and acccpta-
bic time to buy ground for a park. A few
years hence. it will be almost impossible to OBJ
tain ground suitable for that purpose atSi-
most any price. There are. several pieces Of
ground in the neighborhood of Salina which
are already furnished Will, fine shade trees and
are parks in themselves without any further
Improvement. These can be purchased now
at reasonable prices, while in the near future
they may not be obtained at all or il so, n
the most cXtraylgant figures. Let Us have Il
park, right away.
We give the score of the second match game
played between the Smoky Valley 3. b. Club
OF Salna and the Western L. b. Clnb-iiyin@
six miles west of SaIina. The game was close
but fair, and the city boys had 70 give up that
the country boys had outplaycd them. There
will be another game played between the
same clubs next Saturday.
