We, the undersigned, have sent copy to the Hon
orable County Commissioners, a. follows:
Geaiemen:-You will find before you, in few
days. petition for change in the State Road from
White Cloud to Cedar Greek, Donphan County,
Kansas. The landowners along the State Road
leading as designated above, beseech the Honor
able County Commissioners to investigate the To-
cation of the present road in behalf of the County,
and the signers Of this paper, and in behalf Of the
travelling public. The County will be interested in
the cost and transfer of said road. 1t will, Mt low
estimate, cost $500 500 to grade down the hills
almost perpendicular through which the new road
must run. Three or four hundred dollars, did We
sayi Why, the bridge over Cedar Creek would cost
an additional $500. Expend one-third of the first
mentioned amount and we can have a No. road
bottom rosd-for four miles, from White Cloud to
Cedar Greek. We ask you, in behalf of the travel
ling public to give this notice. and if changing
would not be only disadvantage, and incur unnec-
essary expense to the County.

We are Coming

We would respectfully announce to the
people Of Doniphan County, that we are
preparing to receive one of the heaviest
and most carefully selected stocksof goods
ever brought to this market. Everything
shall be bought at the lowest possible
figures, for cash, and to suit the times,
and we propose to give our patrons as
low or lower figures than any other house.
You can depend on getting goods at bot
tom prices.
Why is it that farmers grumble so con-
tinually at 10 to IL per cent. interest on
money, when they seem to have no hest
fancy in running long-winded bill, and
paying % to 40 per eentf
Merchants are obliged to make enough
off OF their good customers to cover their
bad customers debts, or they cannot keep
up. Why cannot Good farmers see this,
and even borrow money, and pay as they
go!-be independent, buy from the house
which sells the cheapest, and makes them
the most money.
Our Fall stock will be bought and put
in the house with an eye to the Good Cash
Custom, and all we ask will be for you to
come and see us. Give us q chance, and
we will certainly sell you all your Fall
goods.

Few people can have failed to notice the great en-
terprisc if they have not observed the scrupulous
care with which Messrs. ID. Lothrop Co. have pub
lished class of books adapted to the highest culture
of the people
1t is only ten years since they commenced the work
of publishing, and their list numbers more than
six hundred volumes.
We are glad to make record, that brave and per-
sstent following of high IDEAL has been successful
Messrs. D. Lothrop & Co. have given special atten-
ton to the publication Of books for children and
youths, rightly considering that in no department is
the BEST regards literary excellence and purity Of
moral and religious reading of great importance.
Yet the names Of works by such authors as Austin
Adams ON their catalogue, will show that maturer
readers have not been uncared for.
OF their work projected for the coming season, we
have not to speak in detail; it will suffee for
the present to say that it is wide in range including
substantial and elegantly illustrated books all in the
line Of the practical and useful and fresh in charac-
ter and treatment.
Their two juvenile magazines Wide Atcake and
BaLyiand are warmly welcomed in every part OF the
English-speaking world
We advise any of our readers who desire to knew

An OLD TIMER Conceive notice statement,
that at the close of theprescnt quarter, the poso
flee at Padonia, Brown County will be discontinued,
the Office not paying enough to justify any one in
keeping it. Thus departs of the things of Olden
days. We believe of the first persons who stuck
a stake at Padonia one Col, or Maj, or Capt.
Peyton, after whom the settlement was called Pey-
tonve; hut he departed to other scenes and the
name of the place became corrupted into Padonia.
company afterwards, early in 1857, laid out a regu
lar town, with the name Padonia. The proprietors
of the town chiefly persons who were interested
in White Cloud, principal among whom were Ozias
Bailey and DIR. Richard j. Calling since become IA
the inventor of the Calling Gun. They
built large hotel, the first landlord of which
Orville Root, (brother of Frank A. Root, of North
Topeka) who settled there in the Spring of 1857 and
who afterward opened the first store, the goods for
which were bought at the wholesale establishments
in White Cloud. Root removed to Sante Cruz, Cali
fornia, some years ago. Among the early settlers
there, Thomas Brigham, j. &. Leavitt, Isaiah p
winslow. John Belk, Johnny Schmidt, etc. Some of
those still reside there
Padonia was one of the handsomest sites for town
we have ever seen-stuated on high but remarkably
level land on the banks of Walnut Greek. The loca
ton is simply lovely 1t is much preter than Hia-
tina, for the purpose of making it the County Seat,
and spared no efforts money to accomplish that
object. 1t being only five miles distant from Pado
na of course it sapped the life out of the latter, and
for years Padonia has been simply hamlet, with
postotfice, store part the time, and perhaps
blacksmth-shop.
A post-ofice established at Padonia, early in
1857 White Cloud the nearest settlement in
the direction of civilization and the mail carried
from there on horseback, by Squire Winsiow, who
also post master part of the time and his father
inlaw, J. G. Leavitt, part of the time. The follow
ing two three Winters terribly cold, and that
was a bleak old road between White Cloud and Pa
donna; but every Saturday, rain or shine, Winsow
came in with his little mail, sometimes bundled up
SO tightly that he resembed bundle of clothing
horseback. Our first subscribers there Orville
Root and Thomas Brigham. In a few weeks, Leavitt
subscribed, and some others, until We had quite a
list OF the whole list, Uncle Tommy Brigham is the
only one who is still a subscriber There his name
still stands, with "vol. l. No. l." opposite Wins
lows name stands in place of Leavitt's. The bal
ance are "gone far away Now the Office is to be
discontinued, to be known, perhaps. as Padonia no
more forever. All that is left is to indulge in this
pleasant "reminiscences of the past and drink the good
health of Uncle Tommy Brigham and Squire Wins
