! MIR. J. p. Delaplain last week re- pur
chased of Mr.. Soule, his old farm in
Elm township. Mr.. D. is now in iii
nois, but will probably come back "a
Kansas and take possession Of his old
place, this fall.
Married, Monday evening, August
10Th, 1873, by Rev. Thos. Bartlett, Mr.
James Holt and Miss Sallie E. Lackens
of this place. 1t was quite a surprise t.
their many friends but no less pleasant
one. The best wishes of the community
are rendered the happy couple. The.
will remain at their old home, Mr.. Cooks
for awhile, when they win start out 70,
themselves. Bon voyage.
From every township comes the
cheering word that everybody is making
preparations to attend the county fair al
lola, next month. The display of farm
products will be the finest in this part Of
the State. In the speed ring the liberia
premiums are attracting the attention Of
horse men and enough is known to de-
termine that that part Of the fair will be
grand success. The ladies too, will
outshine all previous attempts in thei,
departments.
MIR. James Townsend, whose farm is
situated across the river from lola, il
ahead on the peach question, SO far
Last Saturday he brought to this Office
three pesches weighing over a pound
and half The largest weighing 8!
ounces. They were of the Early Craw-
ford variety. DR.. Strong, out in Mar.
maton township, brought in some the
same day that nearly egualed those
brought by Mr.. Townsend. The late
peach crop is good.
From our stock dealers we learn
that since the LIST of February up to
August 1st., there have been shipped
from this station los cars of stock, about
IS cars of cattle and 20 cars of hogs. An
average of Is head of cattle and so
head of hogs were shipped per car max
ing $50 head of cattle and $500 head of
hogs. These shipments have all been
made since the winter market and of
course are much below the previous six
months. It's pretty good showing for
this point, however.
There is some complaint made in
regard to the road overseer not working
the road east of town. 1t is claimed
that if nothing is done that next winter
the people east of town will have an
impossible mud hole to cross. The road
overseer should attend to that lace at
once for it always has been a bad place
and now that the land is fenced on both
sides there will be no chance of getting
around it. The bridge over the runs in
some instances are down. The road
south of town can afford to wait awhile
John Brown sold his farm on Rock
Creek, one and one half miles east of
lola, to Mr.. - McCloud, of Kosciusko
county, Indiana, the present week. The
sale was made through the land agency
of Geo. A. Bowlus. John will take a
trip out west, we understand; but we
will wager a copper cent against penny
that he buys another farm right here in
old Allen before another six months rolls /
around. 1t is an impossibility for an old
timer like J. L. to leave this country.
We are glad to welcome Mr.. MeCl ,ud to
Kansas and congratulate him upon get
ting such choice farm.
Tuesday last, out in Salem township,
a little shooting scrape, wherein four
men, Murray, Burgess, Watson and o.
iver were concerned, resulted in Oliver
being shot in the head, the ball CHANGING,
making a bad scalp wound. The fuss
came up about some grass, both parties
the right to NOW it. The man
Murray shot Oliver and that night left
The country. Burgess was arrested as
accessory, his trial being held before
Esquire Nichols, of Humboldt, yester-
lay. Oliver is a white man the other
parties being colored. Of the result of
he trial of Burgess We did not learn.
Oliver has bad scalp wound. The
was done with revolver.
1t was with pleasure we made the
of Mr.. Gustavus Kruger,
# IaSalle, Illinois, this week. In COM
,any with his son, Mr.. Otto Kruger
md Mr.. John Goemmer, of the same
,lace, he has been looking over our
county during the past week and has
purchased of Mr.. D. w. Bostwick 28O
lcres of land northeast of town. Mr.. K.
8 one of the finest business men we have
net in long time; knows good land
When he sees it and his judgment will do
o tie to. We hope Mr.. X. may be per-
uaded to locate in lola for we need just
UGH men in this community. The sale
vas made through Bowlus' land agency.
Here's to J. L. Wise, and may he
i've long and prosper. Our sanctum
vas invaded Tuesday and over our table
'oured peck or so of the incest peaches
