Last Tuesday was Ground Hog Day.
Tradition has it that the Ground Hog
comes out of his winter quarters on
that day, ana if the day is cloudy SO
that he does not see his shadow, he re-
mains out-the force of the winter is
spent, and thenceforth milder weather
and an early spring may be expected ;
but If the day is bright and he is start
led by observing his shadow, he re-
turns to his burrow and does not come
out again for six weeks, during which
time the weather will be cold and
stormy. We doubt much whether a
Kansas Ground Hog can be depended
npon as q weather prophet in good
standing; hut those who are seeking
happy inquiries no doubt observed
with pleasure that there was no danger
ofthe Ground Hog being frightened at
his shadow last Tuesday.

From Bancroft's Real Estate Register.
The prophets all promise us a very
productive year in 1875. So mote
it be.
More than double the acres of lant
has been plowed this fall and winter
than usual.
Plant everything early next spring
Let every crop have start of thu
chinch bug.
The severe frost of this winter will
leave the soil, especially the fall pillow
ed, in excellent condition FOR early
planting.
Preparations are being made TO
sowing large amount of flax mex
spring. NJ. e. Stark, of Eagle creek
will sow about one hundred acres. All
oil mill will be a necessity next season
Charles F. Pierce & Co. are liberia
and judicious advertisers. They know
just how to do it, and they make II
pay. Visit their yards and you viii
be convinced there is no better place
to buy lumber west of the Mississippi
river.
The prospects for considerable build
ing in town next season are excellent
We hear of several fine residences and
business houses, either under contract
or in fair way to be soon. How much
longer is this city to be without n first

The old Dry Goods house of Bancroft

extended notice is not required. They
are at their old stand, corner CONNER

card, then go and buy what you want
at bottom prices.
Not one of the daily papers of the

OLD
WHISKY

The aboYe is fac smile of label we
are placing upon whisky we have sue
ceeded in getting control Of with some
difficulty. All of the physicians to whom
we have shown it pronounce it superior
to anything yet brought TO this market for
medical and family use.
Almost all writers and eminent prac-
ticioners of medicine admit and recon-
mend whisky-when of good quaIity-as
preferable as medicinal agent to brandy
for various reasons, the most important OF
which is: it is much more likely to be of
good quality, as its mode of manufacture
is simpler; its action in low fevers as q
diffusive stimulant is equal to brandy in
potency, while it does not produce the
painful burning in the stomach so often
complained of when brandy is used; in
staying the waste of tissue of consu mp
ton of the lungs, nothing, except it may
be cod liver oil. has yet been found to
equal it. The above being true, the diff
ference in price should be taken into con-
sideration, which is quite an item usually
to those who are so unfortunate as to be
Ill. A single trial OF our goods we are as
sured will convince the purchaser it is
something superior to anything they ever
used Of the kind.
