Mr. II. ParInenter, one OF Saline countJ's
best farmers. has expended during the past
year 81 900 upon his farm near Solomon City
He has built one OF the largest aud best farm
houses in Western Kansas. and barn which
is 10 doubt the largest and best in the country.
The barn is constructed of stone and frame, il
l25 feet long by 20 feet wide. and las l6 foot

Tuesday night. They were highly pleased
with their Southern trip< Mr. Wagslaff visited
the p'antation Of Robert l.. Lee, upon which
he gathered up n trunk full of large and lus-
cious oranges. We are indebted to him for
number ofthe finest oranges we ever saw also
TO DIR. GROCER for like favors. The Salina party
tell Us Of the baINy weather, the clear ekies
and the green foliage of the southern cline,
and make us almost envy them for their late
trip. But the mI,sqr;toes; whew how they
talk about them.
a former resident OF this place who now re-
sides in The east, has fixed upon himself the
habit of attending church, since he went east
How he could possibly get into this habit, is
not understood by his former intimate friends.
But he attends divine service, and one Sunday,
not long since, he approached the church. His
mind WAS probably wandering back TO his old
home III the west. and he wa, living over his
western experiences. The door Of the church
was reached, and the young gentleman stepped
up to it and knocked. He was reminded by |
his companion that that was not the eastern
style. and that knock and it shall be opened !
unio you" did not apply in that case. Great
men are generally absent-minded.
