It Is an open question whether tho country

which Noble L. Prentis will lecture at
the court house next Wednesday night.
Feb. 10, 1879. Every person will be de-
lighted to hear this lecturer and the
probabilities are that the house will be
filled to its utmost capacity. Those
having the matter in charge do not wish
to make any money out of this lecture
except the expenses. and in consequences
have put the price down to a moderate
sum. f ~
de This lecture has been delivered in al
most every town in the State and every
where has received the highest praise.
The press of the State have for two win
tiers been filled with kindly notices of
Mr.. Prentis and he has the honor of

that has ever spoke to Kansas audience.
The admittance has been put at the
low price of IS cents. Reserved seats SO

Spring Valley Literary still continues
with undated interest. Question de-
bated the last evening was, Resolved, That
circumstances rather than talent make
the man. The editor was Mr.. ]. Stanley,
and the paper was both interesting and
instructive to those who heard it. The
vocal music was charming. The instru.
mental music was non est owing to the
fact that the owner used his violin in
mista Ike for step ladder.
The Sunday School at the same place
is in q fourisbing condition notwith,
standing the bad state of the roads.
Winter wheat makes even q better
showing than last year where it was sown
in time last autumn.
We shall not mourn the loss Of the
peach crop before We know ofa certainty
that it is a failure. .n
Those hens that refused to lay eggs at
Is cents per dozen have grown fewer
since the reduction in price.
A number of citizens met at the resi-.
dence of Mrs. Humiston to consider the
propriety of building Presbyterian
church in the community. We hope
they will begin the work at once and do
not doubt but that they will be aided in
the movement by nearly every one in the
neighborhood. KNARF. ,

A churn-one of the many new inven-
tions of the day-attracted our attention
while at Hartman e. Casmire's one day
this week, which struck US as being
good thing. 1t is the invention of Mr..
S. O. r. Harris, and was manufactured
by Hartman & Casmire. Mr.. Harris
had it on exhibition at the District Fair
last fall where it attracted much atten-
ton. Instead of giving an imperfect
description we would advise the ladies to
call and see it. 1t is a useful article and
one that will tighten the work of many
a housewife.

We were in error last week in stating
tina. the Lter-S,ate sail nothing about
the shooting scrape of the Monday pre-
vious. The item escaped our notice. 1t
appears that Mrs, Adams brother had
been discharged by Col. Thurston from
his service and the man threw the blame
upon her and borrowing revolver went
to the house with the intention of pun
ishing her. He fired at Mrs. Adams,
missing her head short distance and
nearly hitting Mrs. Thurston. He was
arrested, waived examination, and was
committed to Jail. The case will come up
at the next term of the district court.

in the usual excellent style of that lady.
Mr.. B. A. Casmire was next on the
list, accredited with defamation, but
on account of i'll health favored the
audience with q select reading-which
by the way was surprisingly well read.
We are inclined to think that he does
better with select reading than with q
defamation.
Prof. Scott's grafton, (Which was, if
we are not mistaken, one of his college
commencement exercises) received warm
applause which undoubtedly was mer>
tied. We have said SO many good words
for this gentleman that we shall wait
