One day this week a stranger

One day this week a stranger ap'
preached justice of the peace on our
streets and said he wished to see him at
his Office. They proceeded at once to
the Office when he informed the justice
that ae wished to be sworn. Upon be-
ing asked what he wished to be sworn to
he said that he had come to our town
the day before and made ten dollars and
had spent it for drink of whisky, and
he wished to make an affidavit that he
would not drink any more. The oath
was administered in due form, the stran-
ger paid his twenty-five cents and went
his way rejoicing over his resolves to
reform. If it becomes noised abroad that
this justice can administer an oath
strong enough to make men quit such
bad habits We predict for him an extern
sive and lucrative business.

announces himself candidate for Judge
of the 7th Judicial District at the COM

judge OF law, is a pleasant and agreeable
companion having at the same time all
the dignity that is necessary for the po-
sition. We do not consider it necessary
to 60 into a lengthy trodaction, as our
people are pretty generally acquainted

cIINcH BUG ExTERMINAToR.


Mr.. II. F. Rice gives it as his opinion,
after eight years of experience in farm
ing in Kansas, that the worst enemy the
farmers here have is the chinch bug, and
after much study on the subject he has
invented and had patented an imple-
ment for catching and destroying them.
A strip of land around the fields of grain
to be protected from these pests is bro
ken and finely pulverized, then with
this implement a "V" shaped ditch is
made into which the bugs fall in their
attempts to reach the field and being
unable to get out they are killed by the
heat of the sun. Mr.. Rice has expert
mented with this "Exterminator" until
he is confident it is just the thing the
farmers in this State need in dry sea-
son. He has for sale all the terri
tory in the United States, and persons
in the patent right business will proba-
bly, find it to their interest to CORES.
pond with him. The followig certifi-
Gates are from persons who have witness
ed Mr.. Rice's experiments in destroying
chinch bugs:
lola, KANs., March Sth. 1875.
This is to certify that H. F. Rice, the
inventor of an implement to catch
chinch bugs, called upon me to see the
operation of said implement in catching
bugs, and that l did zee the same with
full impression on my mind that the
invention is success and will be great
public benefit.
