A prominent individual from the
Southern part of the county was at
great pains to create the impression that
Miss Travis was a sort of a fraud, and
stated, we are informed, that she was
Missed down at the late meeting of the
State Teachers Association at Lawrence.
We have seen Miss Travis credentials
from this State and from others. We
have also seen the very flattering notices
of the most prominent eastern papers,
including criticisms from leading critics
of Boston and other eastern cities. All
are in the highest degree fattering. We
are proud that our city can claim this
cultured lady as one of our people. And
we do most strongly recommend her in
every respect. As an elOcutionist she
has no equal in the west and but few in
the east.

The entertainment given by Miss Ira.
Wis Tuesday evening at the court house.
dfew fair audience. As . reader she
exoels any whom We have ever heard,
and it was without doubt the finest enter.
tainment Of the kind ever held in lola.
The selections were we'll rendered, espec.
tally Tsnnyson's "Bugle Song" q the
applause showed. Her opening selection
The Greed Of the Bells" highly pleased
theaudience. Her limitations of Irish, Ger
man, ETC., were near perfection, but it was
in pathetic passages that the climax was
reached. Those of our citizens who were
unable to be present should go to work
and have second reading by this tai
ented lady. We can assure them they
have lost one excellent entertainment.

The decision of the Supreme Court in
the case wherein school Dist. No. Is vs..
the Board of County Commissioners, is
an important one. The circumstances
were, a large quantity of lands had been
placed on the tax rolls as railroad lands,
taxes were assessed upon them and they
were sold at tax sale. The greater por-
ton were bid in by the railroad company.
Subsequently it appeared that they were
government lands and not subject to
taxation. Demand was made upon the
county for the refunding of the money
paid, and it was done. The school Dis
tricts were asked to refund to the coun.
ty, and some of them refused, among
those refusing being Dist. No. Is. By
order of the Commissioners, Judge Bell,
while county attorney, commenced suit
to recover. The District Court gave
judgment in favor of the county and the
school District took the case to the Su.
preme Court. w. Il. Slavens, present
county attorney, and Judge Bell manag-
ed tho case for the county, L. w. KEEP
linger on behalf of the school District.
The Supreme Court affirmed the judg.
ment of Judge Taleott in the District
Court. Lack of space prevents us pub
fishing the decision in full.

About Fairs.

In some of our county exchanges we
notice articles in regard to county fairs
next year. In the four counties com.
prisiug Allen, Anderson, Woodson and
Coaey there are six towns as follows
lola and Humboldt in Allen Garnet in
Anderson Neosho Falls and Yates Cen.
ter in Woodson; Burlington in Coffey.
These counties will have six halfstarved
and uniformly unsuccessful neighbor-
hood fairs, or they can join and make a
rousing big District Fair each year. By
taking in the counties of Neosho and
Wilson, who could he induced to join We
are sure, q successful fair of great impor.
lance could be had each year. This, it
seems to US, would be the wise thing to
do. The management of the District
Fair should put in some energetic work
in that direction now.
We are led to make these remarks from
the fact that the Humboldt Union an
nounces that that place will have fair
next year and we are cognizant of a move
ment to hold one ut this place. If all
hands will join We can make the District
Fair THE fair of the State. A fair at
lola and one at Humboldt, and the same
condition of affairs in other counties will
result ina fair of course. But not ones
of sufficient importance to do the good
that should b done. We should like to
hear from the press of the above named
six counties in regard to this matter.

Goforth understands the true way Of

A new voting precinct has been estab-

the center of the township north and

east of that line will vote at the old

tevale school house.
Many of our district school houses
throughout the county lack shade trees.
The grounds should be ornamented and
kept in . neat condition 1t almost any

homelike and beautiful. Take look at
our school grounds in lola, for instance,
and see what-might be done.
