Sale OF shOrt-hOrn Cattle.
Wichita Eagle.

Attention is called to the adVer-
tisement of McHardy d Co.,
of Emporia, Kansas, who will offer n
very superior lot Of shOrt-hOrn cattle, and
Berkshire pigs, at public sale May 81,
1876. This will be the second important
short-horn stock sale in Kansas, the first
being that OF Mr.. Wilson's some two or
three Iyears since. The demand for
good stock is increasing. Young herds OF
short-horns are being made up and farm
ers are securing thoroughbred males
with which TO improve their stock. The
profit in this course is proven in every
stock market in the country. MIR. Nc
Hardy has had long, practical experience
in handling and breeding shOrt-h0Tn cat
tie aud his selections are maize with a
view to meet the demands of the west for
well bred, vigorous animals rather than
for gilt-edged fancy families. Tue very
liberal terms offered by Mr.. McHardy,
will no doubt bring together u great
many of our breeders.
That this sale is to be an Important
event among cattle men, there is tc
doubt. The cattle are here. and attract
general attention. They are said to be
the finest heard ever brought to the State.
In bringing them here Mr.. McHaTdy has
done good thing for the State, and we
trust, for himself.

JOHN CRowNER.-Ho man in Kansas

shooting, and treatment Of horses feet,
than Mr.. John CrOwner, of this city. He
is known to horse trainers all over the
State for great skill In this important
branch OF business, and is No. one
blacksmith and workman generally. Mr..
Crow ner also attends steadily to business,
and lie willing to be kept busy all the time
as his advertisement in to-day's paper
shows. The partnership between him
self and Humphry having been dissolved,
Mr.. Crowner is now alone again, in the
shop on Fourth avenue gust west OF his
late one. and proposes ts fill all orders
promptly. His advertisement is Of spec

There was an interesting sight on Com
mercial street the other day. We hap
pened to look down street and saw Da-
mon of the Globe Democrat, Souther of
Kansas City Journal, and Ford Of the
Kansas City Times, sitting on store box
eating bologna sausage aud crackers.
Ford had the floor, and was bewailing
the loss of various subscribers in EmOo-
ria, while Charley Damon was as happy
as q "clsm IN high water' over 500
worth Of new subscribers, and Uncle
Souther also felt mighty good over his
success. They made it warm that day
on the newspaper question. We suppose
Emporia business men take more papers
than are taken in any town in the state
of its size. .t

EDITORS NEWS: A boy u years old
ran away from his father, living four
miles southeast of Emporia, on Dry
creek. He took his departure in this
wise: His father having lost a pony,
the boy took bride and started the
4th of May. Was last seen above EN-
peria with a, bay pony; said he had
borrowed it. His father is hunting for
the pony, and is anxious to know if
any person lent him q nag. II so, he
would like to be informed by postal
card. The bows name is Edward God
frey. Mr.. Godfrey is a poor man and
cannot well afford to lose his pony.
Any information of the whereabouts
of the boy viii be thankfully received.
The corn is mostly planted in this
neck O. woods. The small grain is
growing finely, and so are the weeds,
which are very productive in Kansas.
The grass is coming on finely. Stock
of all kinds doing well. w. B. ROSS.

She got up in the morning. when it was
raining, and got bedabbled and wet about
the back kitchen door. She was not in
very good humor when he came down.
He made some sarcastic remarks which
were not calculated to dampen the rising
passions Of the madam. Finally break
fast was announced. She had made q
serious mistake in getting too much sa le-
ratus in the biscuit. Here was the old
mans opportunity. He took biscuit,
and with a twinkle in his eye asked her
what saleratus rated at in the market,
aud whether 1t was cheaper than -four,
and whether she had ever tried flou: as
ingredient in the construction of biscuits.
THIS was too much. There was but
slight pause, and the old man had to go
and put on some dry clothes.

COMMON sENsE.-The Lawrence Jour

COMMON SENsE,-The Lawrence Jour
nal says:
The multiplication of newspaper beyond
the legitimate demand for them is an in
Jury rather than y benefit to any town.
1t imposes an onerOus tax upon business
men who are bored and badgered for adj
vertising which is of little use to them,
divides the support which would be suf-
builds up little personal aud fractional
cliques in politics, depresses the quality
Of the papers themselves, demoralizes fair
prices for newspaper work, and does the
town itself far more damage than good.
Two newspapers are as many as any
town in Kansas can support as
many as business men should give any
encouragement to. These should be OF
opposite sides in politics, and each should
receive the fair legitimate support Of Its
own party.

THE n CITY SCHOOLS PICNIC.

Our citizens were highly pleased last
Saturday morning to witness happy
procession Of scholars of the city schools
march down Commercial street, headed
by the Emporia band, to hold May Day
festival and basket picnic at Soden's
grove. At the head of the smiling young
people WAS Miss Florence Webster,
who had been chosen for May Queen, and
crowned at the stone school house, before
starting, attended, by her bright looking
maids, all bedecked with wreaths and
flowers in true alIegorical fashion. As
the procession stepped gaily along, to the
lively strains of music, q score Of car
rlages pranced along the street, filed
with Older folks and tempting baskets of
provisions, for even little girls must eat.
The weather was fine, the ground dry,
and everything promised the happiest
Kind of q picnic, and the promise was
made good. With remarkable poor
judgment, the person, who ever it was,
who had charge of the procession, had it
cross over from the east side to the west
side Of Commercial street, after getting
below the railroad track. The wind
blew from the southeast, and the attend
ing carriages raised a good deal of dust,
which blew up on the procession on the
way to the grove, whereas If it had kept
on the east side it would not have been
dusty. We cannot commend this part OF
the programme.
Arriving at { he grove the children and
the teachers, parents and friends, found
plenty Of amusements. There was ne
speaking. but lots of singing, by the
schools altogether, and then each grade
by itself. The dinner was ample and
heartily enjoyed, and at early eVenin g
the picuickers returned to their homes
happy and satisfied with the days recre
ton.

many from here, probably for the
reason that Philadelphia is so far away

From the Dow Creek Chronicle.


The windows of Heaven were open
ed, the floods came and the people
were not prepared. So it was in the
days of Noah. The wells which have
been nearly useless for two years, are
coming up to the old water-marks.
People are beginning to realize again
the use and necessity of bridges.
But little land is yet ready to
plant,::and plowed ground is too soft
and wet. If we had some way OF saw
ing the surplus water which is now
going to waste, it would ensure US
bountiful crops, and enough left to run
the mills.
The mud-hole on the road at the
crossing of the Stillman requires the
attention of the road overseer.
Dow creek has been on bender
again.
-Phe peacocks have roasted on the
vane of Burdiek's barn till he can hard
ly tell which way the wind is.
II. T. White has had the misfor-
tune to loose two nice colts.
The Fremont Lyceums are get
ting up quite q rivalry.
No March planted corn, or April
either, this year.
EARLY potatoes are up and look
nice.
Garden sass is scarce, but June
will tell another story.
-Burdick has been making another
horse trade; cheated of course.
Your proposition to have two days
this year to celebrate American Inde-
pendence, is good one. Have a reg
ular old settlers meeting, barbecue
for the whole county in Emperia, and
let the different townships and neigh
borhoOGs have their celebrations a
week or so before. In that way all
can be suited and have a Centennial
recreation and reunion worth having.
Let the procession be arranged chron-
ologically, and that will give a good
history of the settlement of the coun-
try, that could be read at a glance.

GRAND CHANCE FOR KANSAS.
DISpl.y Of Fresh Fruit and yegeta-
bIes at PhiladelPhia.
We have received the following circu-
Topeka, May 3, 1876


lar.
At a recent meeting of the Kansas
Centennial Board it was decided to ar
range for the collection OF fruits, vegeta-
b1es aud grains, in their season, during
the coming summer, Tor exhibition at
Philadelphia. 1t is especially desirable
to obtain vegetables Of extraordinary
growth, apples, pears, peaches, and
grains both Lhreshed and in the stalk.
If fruit-growers. farmers and gardeners
will give a little care and attention to
this matter, the Kansas Exposition build
ing at Philadelphia will co ntain an at
traction and varied display which will
be of Incalculable value to the State, in
calling public attention to the very best
evidences OF the adaptability OF her soil
and climate for the production of these
important products.
When the proper time comes for gath
ering these articles, suitable persons,
designated for that purpose, will visit
the citizens OF such counties as shall in
| the meantime indicate to this office that
they have meritorious specimens TO fur
nish. Due credit will be given in every
| instance TO the grower and locality, and
| the producer, when required, will be
paid for the collections so furnished.
/ The hearty cooper alton of the people
of the State is earnestly solicited. The
display at philadelphia will be n con-
| or disastrous to the best interests of the
State, Just in proportion and to the ex-
tent this hearty cooperation or lethaI gy
shall prevail.
BY order OF the Board Of Managers.
| ALRRED GRAY, Secretary.
The Lyon county Horticultural and
| Agricultural societies should take thil
matter in hand. This is very promis
ing season for big vegetables, and they
ought to be sent as fast IS ready. Tn
benefits Of Kansas having its own build
ing will be especially noticeable IL
this feature OF its display.
