PRODUCTS.

As elsewhere stated this county is we'll
suited to all the productions of this
latitude, but is especially adapted to the
growing of wheat, corn, fruit, and to
stock raising; all Of which succeed ad-
and particularly the last. The
inexhaustable supply of native grasses
both for pasturing and for hay-offers to
the stock raiser most inviting field, and
makes this one of the most certain and
branches of husbandry
that any one can engage in.

COUNTY SEAT.

lola, the county seat of Allen county,
is pleasantly located near the confluence
of Elm Creek and the NeOsho River,
and on the l.. L. & G. railroad. The
Neosho at this point only needs to be
improved to furnish good water power
for mills and manufactures. Good pure
water can be obtained at depth of from
fifteen to twenty-five feet. Il has three
churches, Baptist, Methodist and Pres
byterian. and an excellent school build
ing. The different branches of business
snd the professions are we'll represented;
and property can now be purchased at a
reasonable price which must steadily
increase in value.
MINERAL WELL.
The lola Mineral veil is at this time
the chief attraction of the town. The
wonderful cures performed by this water
have proved that its healing properties
are second to none in the country. A
hotel and bath rooms have been put up
at the well, and the afflicted from al
parts of the country are coming here for
treatment; and already the water from
this famous we'll is being shipped in large
quantities thoyghout this and adjoining

THE WINE OF LIFE,

The poet may sing Of the blood-red wine.
He may chant the charms Of the purple
But the wine prize all Others above
Is the wine Of life, and its name is love.
From a ruby chalice this wine o'erf1ows,
Purer than crystal as sweet as a rose;
1t & addens the soul, yet never can dim,
Though thousands Quaff, 1t is full to the
brim.
IL bubbles and sparkles with inward fires,
Which kindle the flame OF noble deslres;s5
II strensthens the weak, makes the timid
bold;
ON the darkest lot it's CLEAN of gold.
Makes sad hearts gay; is the rainbow OF
Giving hues of hope to the opening years,
o rarer and dearer, this wine of mine,
Than any shat flows from the purple vine!
Ye who have tasted the juices Of the vine
Who's clusters are hung thick by the riv-
Or have sought to quicken dead lives gain
In draughts of Tokay, Madeira Cham
payne,
And have found the nectar We crave and
drink,
Like apples which grow on the Caspian's
Could We taste this wine, 'twould new life
iinpart;
It's the Wine OF Love-its chalice the
heart!

The Madison Wis, Courier tells
this Of a revenue officer who wa:
sent into an illicit whiskey distilline
district in Kentucky. He knew il
licit distilling was going on, but be
could get no basis to work from
Coming to an Irishman who was tol-
erably drunk, the officer tapped him
on the shoulder, and said:
"My man, do you want to make
ten dollars y'
is it ten dollars ?" said Pat "sure
and do"
Then" said the officer, "show me
private still"
"I'Il do that same; follow me, yer
Honor"
The officer followed him across lots
and fields to the camp Of q company
of soldiers that had been scent there
to aid the revenue officers. The sol
diers were in line-dress parade
"Do yoa see thatred headed mani"
asked Pat, pointing to one of the sol
diers.
Yes" replied the officer.
"He is my brother" said Pat
Hes been in the service twelve
years. He'll be corporal after while,

The following little paragraph,
which a friend hands us, contains a
whole volume Of truth and sugges-
ton, and if well studied and acted
upon would prevent much unhappi-
ness in this world, and prove a most
efectual remedy for much that now
exists.
1t is the easiest thing in the world
to be happy if men aud women would
only think SO. Happiness is only
another name for love, a nd where
love exists in q household there hap
piness must also exist, even though
it has poverty for close companion.
Where love exists not, even though
it be a palace, happiness can never
come. He was a cold and selfish be-
ing who originated the saying that
when poverty comes in at the door
love flies out at the window" " and
his assertion proves conclusively that
be bad no knowledge of love; for
unquestionably the reverse of the
axiom quoted is nearer the truth
When poverty comes in at the door,
love, true love, is more than ever in
clined to tarry and do battle with the
enemy. Let those who imagine them
selves miserable, before they find
fault with the surroundings, search
in their own hearts for the true cause.

ance will often open the way ~ a

Money not a Creation of the Law.

1t is not possible to ascertain when
and by whom the precious metals
were first adopted as money; but for
more than three thousand years they
have been acknowledged as the
forms of material wealth best fitted
to be the measure and instrument Of
exchange. Each nation and tribe, as
it has merged from barbarism, has
abandoned its local, non--xportable
medium, and adopted what is Justly
called "tbe money Of the world"
Coinage was later device, en-
ployed for the sole purpose of fash
ioning into a convenient shape the
metal to be used as money, and Of
ascertaining and certifying officially
the weight and ineness of each
piece.
And here has arisen the chief er-
ror in reference to the nature of mon
ey. Because the government coins
it, names its denomination, and de-
elares its value, many have been led
to imagine that the government ere
ates it, that its value is gift Of the
lav.-Hoa. Jas. A. Garfield

He war captain Of gun number two;
And he said as how we were fixed. BY Jins'
You Oughter heerd him proclaim
How he got the posish of one-armed Yank,
For the Gray's ON deck again.
Yes Congress Is bound to TX them now,
And to teach them lesson or two.
We're gwine to get back the niggers they stole
With this army Of boys IN blue
Then we'll shout hurrah, tor the Southern star.
And the Land Of the cotton and lhe cane.
Fer osir var st jabllo has come,
And the Gray's on deck again.
Col. JAMES FRANCIS kEEGAS.
