last the weather has been everything
that could be desired by the farmers.
Plenty of warmth and sunshine with
occasional showers, sufficient to keep
the grain and grasses growing. Quite
large number of the farmers of this
township met at the Hoss school
house on last Monday night, where We
were addressed at considerable length
by Mr.. Armet, from Colorado, who
is soliciting aid for the farmers of that
country to enable them to seed their
farms the coming season. Mr.. Armet
gave a very candid and unbiased state
ment as to the circumstances of their
farmers. coroborated by the best of
authority. AT the close of his state
ment an opportunity was given to all
who wished to contribute corn to put
down their names with the amount
they wished TO give. To this they
willingly responded, donating very
generously according to their various
circumstances. In fact, they appeared
to regard it as favor to have an OPP
portunity to assist the needy farmers
of Colorado, maintaining at they do
and ever will grateful remembrance
of those past favors of similar kind,
which have but so recently been be-
slowed upon the farmers of Kansas by
the generous hearted people of the
eastern States. We have loaded one
car with shelled corn, 500 bushels be-
ing donated by Grant township and
100 bushels by Park and Kechi.
Our dry goods firm, Carrothers &
Brother, have taken new partner in
their firm. She is a beautiful and &C
complished young lady, the daughter
of Mr.. William Litson, of Butler
county. She was introduced and
highly recommended to the firm by
Mr.. George Carrothers, a member of
the firm. The happy couple were
married at the residence Of the brides
father, Oh the 18th. They soon after
returned to Valley Center where a
huge dinner and many friends were in
waiting to welcome them. Tradition
says there was a social hop given at
the city hotel that night which was
well attended and enjoyed by all.
Master George set up the candies and
nick-nacks in unlimited quantities.
was present, of course, and witnessed
a grand display Of beauty and fashion
by the fair ones, but being Of rather a
timid nature and laboring under a
great embarrassment on account of
the presence Of so many ladies, it is
reasonable to suppose that did not
enjoy myself as much as many others
of more courageous disposition,
which enabled them to develope their
colloquial faculties to a much greater
extent.
Our fellow townsman, Mr.. Cooper,
has been having very poor health for
several days, being confined to his
ranch a part of the time. Some of the
wise ones say that Jake has recently
quite change of heart,
that is, he is just now having some
grave doubts as to the reality of those |
blessings and advantages
that are represented as being connect
ed with the life of bachelor. My
idea is that if Jake can find good |
looking young lady who entertains a
similar opinion on this subject that
the baching business at his ranch will
soon be made one of the things of the
past. l hope he may find her, as we
have reason to think that he will.
