in the last Grand Gift Concert. in and of the
Public Library of Kentucky. will pay that per
cent. to somebody. Why not to one of US?
And then we have only to wait till the 30th of
November for the result.
In another column is published n lengthy
correspondence from Judge A. NJ. Beebe con-
corning the candidates for Congress in this

states that the broom corn raised in this sec
ton is considered the best raised in the United
States. Higher prices are paid for the broom
corn OF this country than that Of other parts
OF the United States. Several thrifty farmers
have already significd their intentions 10 ell
gage in its culture next year. The crop stands
drouths better than any other. The raising Of
broom corn is destined to be an extensive bus

Messrs. S. VI. Palmer and J. L. Huber Of
this place have purchased the Abilene Mills.
paving therefore $4,000. The water power ut
that place is one of the best on the Smoky
river. rrhe mill has now two run Of stone.
and the new proprietors will add another
wheel and run of stone. Mr.. Huber is one Of
the most skillful milleis in Kansas. and his
services have given widespread reputation to
the brand OF flour manufactured ut the Salina
Mills. We regret that this estinable gentle
man and most successful miller is TO leave lis.
Mr. Palmer is an excellent business man and
greatly esteemed by all who know him in this
section OF the country. We are gratified to
learn. however. that Mr.. Palmer will remain
with us. and will continue in the feed and -four
business He will sell the truck " manufac-
tured at the Abilene mills at prices which defy
competition. The new proprietors will take
possession Of their mills on December LIST.

home in Porter's muskct, and then shot there
from. hitting Robin.on's right arm. which he
was tor several days compelled to carry in a
sling. when will this relic OF the middle ages
cease to be the dernier resort OF offended gen
tlemen, We hope our young friends have sat
lsii ed their bloody minds by this time.
