1t is of course known that a special
road tax was levied by the county this
spring, for the improvement of the roads.
The amount belogng to the Salina road
district is about Sl.l00 This amount
should be expended rs soon as poss: Bile
upon the improvement of Santa Fe and
Iron avenues. aud in placing roads lead
ing into town in hit condition. Let
this good work be done and farmers all
around will rise up and call US blessed.
One hundred and twenty-five reser-
we'd seats were taken on Monday last for
General Kilpatrick's lecture lSatur-
day evening, January 10Th. About 425
people can be seated in the church as
il will be seated on the evening of the
lecture; this will allow of no standing
room, and the management of the course
will not sell tickets to those whom they
cannot accommodate. Notice will be Civ
en- next week of the number of seats
remaining unsold, and as soon as all
are disposed of no more tickets will be
sold either at the bookstore or at the
door.
There was gathering of hunters,
farmers and others west of town, Tues
day, to participate in the grand coyote
hunt which had been advertised for that
day. The Irregular" circle was formed
and everybody was on the tip-toe of ex-
pectation, when there was a prospect of
"being in at the DEATH" Gradually the
circle grew smaller until the center was
reached, and it was not the stately Guy
otes which were bagged, but common,
every day yellow dog. Some of the
boys drew huge draughts from black
bottles and then, of course, forty coy
otes chased each other through their
brains. Suffice it to say: these boys were
unable to reach the center with the bal
ance of the "callants."
Frank Davis, the party who was con-
victed of burglary the first OF this term
of court, and whose sentence has been
as yet suspended, was taken from the
county jail last Tuesday, to be cared for
in family living on Fourth street. He
is considered by his physician to be in
the last stages of consumption. He
went into the jail a strong, healthy man,
and comes out broken down in health.
His condition is so because of that viii
famous, filthy Jail. We hope the county
commissioners and others in authority
will see that that prison is Immediately
put In q fit condition, or else tear it
down. Davis has been furnished with
a new suit of clothes and proper nurs-
ing, upon the solicitation Of our hH-
name and kind-hearted county attorney.
Colonel Phillips writes to one of his
friends that he was so engaged with the
cares and duties of his office that he
was unable to visit Salina during the
Congressional recess. He states that he
was so busy that he could not run home
without absolutely neglectlng many i'm
portant matters; that he was busy
night and day during the special session;
that bis correspondence was piled up
almost mountain high, and that if he
had neglected it to run home, he never
would have caught up; besides all this
there were important matters pending
which required his presence In Wash
ington and his earnest attention.

There is to be grand annual ball at
Brookville tomorrow evening. 1t will
be very largely attended by persons
from Ellis and up the road. The Brook
vile people never do things by halves
and this party will be fully up 20 the
other parties given in that lively town.
The proceeds are to be applied towards
erecting tow hail. The Messrs. Yung-
heisch, of this city, will furnish the mu-
sic.
During the past week we have had
some cold weather. The frozen roads,
by constant travel, have become pretty
well smoothed and polished and are pass
ably good. Considerable grain, hay,
broom corn, wood, etc, have been haul
ed to town. In fact s great deal of
trade, deferred by bad roads, has been
resumed. We hope it will be g long,
long time before our county becomes
again one vast mud hole, as il was few
days ago.

HARD TIMES!
FOR GARDEN SEEDS

When the prime of everything else
is very low it is absurd that the
dealers in commission seeds should
assume to hold them at the old
prices. As l do not deal in commits
sion seeds, and have special con-
tract with the well-known seedmen,
Landreth & Sons, of Philadelphia,
for the purpose of endeavoring to
drive old commissioned seeds out OF
the market, ] will sell Garden Seeds
Mt the following low prices:
Common size papers. 81 for % cents;
Double size. 10 for 20 cents;
Bulk seeds at correspondingly
low prices. l will warrant these
seeds to be fresh and superior to
any others to be found in the mar
ket, no matter what the price may
be. JNo. II. VIVIAN.

An Astonishing Fact.

A large portion Of the American
people are to-day dying from the eff
feet Of Dyspepsia or disordered liver.
Tho result of these diseases upon the
masses of intelligent and valuable
people is most alarming, making life
actually q burden instead of pleas
ant existence Of enjoyment and use
fulness as it ought to DO. There is
no good reason for this, If you will
only throw aside prejudice and skep-
ticism, take the advice Of Druggists
and your friends, and try one bottle
Of Green's August Flower. Your sp-
eedy relief is certain. Millions of boz
tiles ofthis medicine have been given
away to try Its virtues, with satisfac-
tory results in every case. You can
buy sample bottle for 10 cents to
try. Three doses will relieve the
worst case. Positively sold 10y all
