grand success. Everything went of
well--mOre especially the pies and

The Baptist meeting closed last
evening. During its progress quite q

number of accessions were made to
that branch of the church.

racking the political brain of the coun-
try. We were greeted on our arrival
by our smiling host and his agreeable
lady, who did the honors of the even

were brought back to enjoy childhoods
happy hours. Soon supper was an

The weather has been SO warm and
pleasant the last week, that the farmers

five teams blowing and fitting ground

him again through the NEWS.
Our school will close next week,

with one accord, Halleluiah!
There has been, in the last week, 8
wonderful wailing among dry bones,
and in fact some that wasn't so dry, in
this vicinity. Men, women and child

selling them for from 50 to IS per load.

The Spring Businasa.

Our hardware and agricultural nipple
ment dealers anticipate large business
this spring, and are stocking up heavily,
and Lewis Lutz has got in the biggest and
best lot of goods he has ever had. Mr..
Lutz is popular with all kinds of people,
because he believes one man as good as
another ID this world, and that the more
hardware and farm machinery he sells
the quicker the natioDal debt will be
paid of. Peter Hughes is learning the
trade there, and we would rather buy
one pillow from HIM than two plows from
any other man in the business.
We take pleasure in calling attention to
Mr.. Lutz's advertisement to-day. At his
store.may be found the celebrated Moline
steel plows, keystone corn planter, West
ern and Weir cultivators, StubebaKer
wagons, etc. He also keeps a good as
sortment of spring wagons.
Mr.. Lutz has bought largely for this
seasons business, and his stock is full in
every branch. 1t will be worth while for
all buyers TO examine his goods and
prices.

Centennial Conoert. {

We have heretofore expressed our con-
fidence in the honest management of the
enterprise mentioned above. We have
now no reason TO recall anything we have
said. We believe no purchaser OF tickets
will lose anything on account of dishonest
management. The citizens Of Fort Scott
have shown their confidence in the enter
prise by investing largely. Two clubs
have already been formed for the pur-
chase, in common, bf tickets amounting
to $1,000 for each club, and a number of
smaller clubs have also been organized.
A guarantee of the good faith of the man :
ager is the fact that he does not ask pur-
chasers of tickets to send the money to
him, but authorizes them to deposit in
any of the Fort Scott National banks, in
trust Tor them.

@Mr. John Elliott has gone to Indi-
ana on business, but will soon return.
Our mill company are alive to
their trade. Much flour has been ship
ped from their mill this season, and
still large stacks eff it are stored away
for the market. Their custom work is
gradually increasing, and when far
mers bring No. wheat to mill, they
will receive No. -four in return. Mil
lers are unable to make good -four from
sand, grit and grasshoppers. The mill
has again been propped up and stayed
till it will stand the strain beyond
doubt.
Two car loads of shelled corn was
shipped to mporia by the company a
few weeks ago.
Mr.. J. S. Pigmsn is the busiest
farmer in our midst--hauling logs to
mill, lumber on the place, and building
No. board fence, enclosing a new
field, and Mr.. Twogood is breaking
prairie for him. The sod is well killed
out, and will bring forth good crop.
Mr.. J. O'Toole, and others are SOW
ing spring wheat. Winter wheat new
er looked better at this time of the
year, and il it can have few timely
showers in March a big crop will be
reaped.
Mr.. II. Howard, living about two
miles west of the Rapids, has fine,
large brick house-the best farm house
between here and Emporia. Il con-
tains eight commodious rooms besides
closets, buttery and cellar. He has some
thirty acres in wheat, which is in a
No. condition. The place denotes
good management ON Mr.. HIS part,
and the large corn cribs full of corn
proves that he is no sluggard.
Mr.. w. S. Cook has added eighty
acres more to his already large farm,
most of which is under cultivation and
fenced.
MIR. ii. Brown has built and repaired
considerable fence along the travelled
road this winter. He is one of the most
extensive and successful farmers in
this vicinity.
