Everything needs rain in this vicinity.
Farmers are considerably discouraged.
Some predict one-half crop of wheat,
others not more than one-fourth.
Mr.. L. Rambo met with quite serious
accident last week by falling in a cattle
guard ON the railroad near his house,
cutting a deep cash in his head and
bruising his eye and face frightfully.
Our school is progressing finely, with
a fair attendance. Miss Luther gives en-
tire satisfaction, as a teacher; and we
think the district would be quite fortu-
nate to secure her services next winter.
S. N. Wood, of the Greenbacker, has
been around lately trying to get subscri-
bers. He did not get many, 1 guess. We
are mostly Grant men, out here. We
don't compromise with Democracy at all.
Diphtheria has been prevailing to a
serious extent - near Toledo several
deaths; among whom was DIR. Conway's
little son Johnnie The doctor and his
griefstricken family have the sympathy
of the entire community. They will not
soon forget the bright eyes and sweet lit
tie face of their darling boy; but

At Emporia, May 8.
Amusement seekers will be glad to
learn that the proprietors of this famous
tention of exhibiting here. 1t is hardly
necessary to say much about an entertain
ment which for variety and magnificence
has no equal on the continent. On this
occasion, however, the attraction will be
enhanced by very important addition.
Mr. Cole, with his accustomed enterprise,
has secured for exhibition two of the
greatest curiosities of the day-the largest
man and woman in the world. Mr.. Bates,
the male giant, IS eight feet high, lack
pears along with him, boasts exactly the
same number of feet of womanhood.
The couple have appeared before her maj
esty, who was so much impressed by
their appearance that she presented his
giantship with magnificent gold watch
valued at 81 900. This gift, it need hard
ly be said, is cherished by Mr.. Bates as
his most valued possession.
Half a ton represents the joint weight
of this remarkable pair. But the giants,
wonderful as they are and well able to
exhibit as a separate show, are only an
item of the entertainment. There is the
Circus, for which the services of the most
daring bare-backed riders and funniest
clowns in America have been secured.
There is the man who catches the cannon
ball shot from cannon. The Man of
Fire, who stands in a furnace the heat of
which bakes fowl by his side. The
performing AlligatOrs, etc. There is the
Menagerie, comprising thIrty-f1ve cages
where most magnificent specimens of
wild animals from all parts of the world
are seen. And there is the Museum, fill
ed with curiosities and monstrosities of
every description. The whole establish
ment, which, it may be mentioned, al
ways travels by rail, is conducted on a
gigantic scale; no less than three hUn-
dred horses and some two hundred men
being engaged. From first to last the
performance is pure, healthy and enter
