Talk about the gloomy days of No
vember, or the chilling rains and wind
of December. They are as nothing when
compared with the chronic grumbler.
With him the sun never shines at the
right time; the wind never blows the
right way; it's always too much or not
enough of q good thing; and SO every
thing is wrong side up or wrong side out.
One can never turn round in his pres.
enee but it is in the wrong direction,
nor can he. speak on any subject but he
is made to feel that he has said the
wrong thing. As to q good, hearty,
healthy joyous laugh, it would bring
forth frown darker than the blacklist
cloud that ever preceded thunder gust
in the tropics, We have had some good
weather for these chronic grumblers, and
they seemed to thrive and grow numer-
GUS. The only way to escape from such
people is to flee from them, as some do
when we get after them with q little
"bill" we want paid.

HOW TO PREVENT AND CURE
COUGHS AND COLDS.

We I'LL know that while those in 70
bust health rarely take cold, weakly per
SONS are affected by the slightest changes
of temperature. The reason is that the
weak blood which has caused the debil.
ity, fails to impart vigor to the Organs Of
respiration and perspiration, thus sealing
the pores and closing the only avenue
for the escape of large part of the
waste products of the body. Those acrid
secretions irritate the throat, lungs,
no head, or other organs. producing
cou his, colds, catarrl, bronchitis, etc.
Parkers Ginger Tonic acts like charm,
permanently cures these disorders, is
pleasant in taste, promptly opens the
pores, and expels the poisonous accumu-
lations, allays all local irritations, and
instead of nauseating the stomach and
constipating the bowels, as do most
cough medicines, invigorates the entire
digestive apparatus and blood. 1t thus
not only efectually cures coughs, colds,
catarrh, bronchitis, and gives the strong
est hope to consumptives, but removes
all dyspeptic disorders, such as indiges-
ton, headache, constipation; acid stom-
ach, low spirits; nervousness, liver COM
plant, coated tongue, diarrhoea. and
bowel disorders, wakefulness and rheum-
attic and neuralgia pains. Buy from
your druggist, R. B. Stevenson, lola,
Kansas, a $1.00 bottle, or a sample bottle
at Is cts, and test its extraordinary
merits.

Monday evening q pleasant sociabl

Monday evening pleasant sociable
was held at the residence of J. H. Rich.
ards. Esq, in honor Of the marriage Of
Mr.. Chas. NJ. Richards. The rooms
were crowded with the friends of the
happy couple, and with music, converse.
ton, etc, the evening was pleasantly
whiled away. At an early hour refresh
ments were served, after which, by pre-
vious arrangement, the crowd adjourned
to the residence of Dr.. Scott, to watch
the old year out. By this time every
body was bent upon having jolly time
and the fun grew fast and furious. More
music, and talk, and fun, until the
witching hour of midnight came. Re-
treatments were served again, and soon
the genial and companionable doctor and
his lady joined the throng. Old plays,
old songs, and . general good time fol-
lowed, until, tired out at last, all seemed
willing to part for time, only to pre-
pare for reunion again. Really, 1t was
fortunate after oil, that by . misunder-
standing two parties instead Of one had
resulted, thus giving double enjoyment
al around.

Tuesday evening at the residence Of
of Rev. S. G. Clark, the young folks
again met to enjoy themselves. And
we'll they did; every one seemed intent
on having as much fun in as short time
as possible. Mrs. 8. G. CLARK, and Miss
Mary, made every one feel perfectly at
home, and it required no great trouble
to get things started, everybody joining
in. The evening passed swiftly and
pleasantly away. Refreshments we're
served, music, song and plays kept up
until at last, too tired to stay longer,
they had to 60 home, voting it an unu-
sually pleasant and we'll spent evening.
A feature of. the evenings entertain
ment, was the formation of lodge by
the ladies, the installation ceremonies OF
which were at times startling and ludi.
crous.

THE LAW OF LIBEL.

The following are the conclusions OF
the decision of the decision of the Su.
preme Court of the State, all the justices
concurring:
Rirst-In all criminal prosecutions the
truth of the libel is no defense, unless it
was for the public benefit that the mat
tiers charged should be published, or in
other words that the alleged libelous
matter was true in fact, and was pub
ished for justifable ends, but in all
such proceedings the jury have the right
to determine at their. discretion the law
and the facts. -
Scond-In all civil actions of libel
brought by the party claiming to have
been DETAINED, where the defendant
alleges and establishes the truth of the
matter charged - defamatory such de-
PENDANT is justified in law and exempt
from all civil responsibility.

ALIENS ATTRACTIONS,

An exchange thus tersely explains the
reasons for locating in settled commu-
nifty, like Allen county, rather than 60.
ing further west. All the inducements
mentioned in the following article, can
be found in Allen county, and we can
show land nearly as cheap as can be
found iu the treeless wastes of the west
We occasionally see some indications
of wisdom among those who come to
Kansas in search of homes. A central
thought with most of those who thus
come west on q tour of observation and
inspection is to obtain low-priced lands.
These are found of almost endless extent
in western Kansas. Thither all the ad-
vertisements OF the railroad companies
are directed-thither are they interested
The lands are found cheap, level, tim
berless, streamless and unoccupied. If
one wants low-priced land, there he can
have it-far from market, without school
houses, without churches, court houses
or anything of the kind. For the first
five years everything demands expendi-
ture. There are some who make dis.
tinction between lOw-priced lands and
cheap lands The difference of only q
dollar per acre for an 30 or 16O acre farm
is nothing compared with the advantages
of partially settled community, where
streams exist with bridges built and paid
for, so or 100 neat school houses dotting
the country, court house and jail estab-
lished, churches built, society organized
-crystalized, good markets, mills, rail.
way facilities, public libraries, we'll o.do
neighbors, able to assist in cases of emer-
gency-all these and many more advant-
ages cannot be Offset by matter of one
or two dollars per acre for farm. But
the truth is, there have been and still
are opportunities of getting lands in
such communities here, and in fact all
over Eastern Kansas, At prices fully as
low as the trackless plains of the West
are offered ut. Many who have been
West and examined for themselves, work
their way back to the more thickly set
tied counties, where in securing land
they also secure . home. To struggle
and toll for four or five years IN an en-.
tircly new locality, and 60 through the
exhausting sweat Of heavy taxation for
the initial improvements, only to find
themselves at the expiration of that Pc
riOd just where they might have been at
the start, furnishes no very alluring in
ducements. It Is worth while to look
on all sides of the subject when taking q
step 60 important a. that of securing q
homo for the remainder Of ones life.
