An enterprise Of no small importance to the
city and county is the packing house Of Ste
phens & Stewart, which was established a
couple OF months since. Despite the unfavor-
sble warm weather, Col. Stewart informs US
that they have successfully packed upwards OF
forty thousand pounds of pork, which they
expect to increase TO fifty thousand before the
season closes. The hams are sugar-cured and
speaking from 4 personal test we must say
| tbsy are very fine. We hope that this enter
prise may develop to one Of great magnitude.

The article upon the Arkansas Valley rail-
road, its Importance locally and as national
highway, from the pen OF Col. d. N. v.
Stuart, published last week, created no little
discussion and comment. Outside OF its mer-
its as 4 newspaper article, it contained many
grand facts which time, in demonstrating, will
force hons to the convictions OF thousands
who now fail to appreciate them.
Aaron Sewer has BIZ en- appointed postmaster
at Jamesburg, vice. Mckinney, resigned.
Mr.. S. lives but ono-fourth of mile from the
old location and we congratulate the people of
that vicinity that their post Office will not Tow
be discontinued. Sedgwick county has eigh-
teen post offices, which there viii be no
trouble in keeping, providing responsible
men viii take charge of and hold them. In JUS
tice to their neishbors postmasters Of country
Offices should nos resign until they have found
somebody that will accept the trust, as other
wise the Postmaster General is apt to discon-
tinue the Office and it is hard work TO get
them re-sstsblshed.
Col. Martin Anderson, citizen of our
neighboring county of jackson, and former
treasurer of the State of Kansas, was in the
city this morning. Mr.. Anderson is thinking
of locating in, CT near, Wichita, the county
seat of Ssdgwck county. And il he should
make this change Jackson county will lose
one of her best, most respected and enterpris-
ing citizens, and Sedsw!ck will be the gamer.
The State treasury furnished no items for
goss;ping reporters while under the control Of
Martin Anderson.-Topeka Times.

Past Grand Master Martin OF Junction CITY,
noticing an episode that occurred in this town,
says in the Union: Mrs. Buser, of Wichita,
owed Chris. Kimmerlie for a house. The
house burned down and the wsman was des-
titutc. The neighbors relieved her immediate
wants, but when Chris. Kimmerlie heard OF

makeup enterprising, wise and lively. We
wish Mr.. Cowgirl, the editor ard proprietor,
