Squire Wise is now boss drummer in
the band.
"Calico Charley and Hoopenlicker'
believe is what the opposition did call
them. Now L presume they will be
spoken of as Governors Foster and Hick-
enlooper.
There was candidate in town yester-
day-the first of the new crop.
A fine rain we had, you bet.
Rev. Chaffee and family are here visit
ing friends. If they visit all of them
they will need to go to every house in
town.
Mrs. Clarke who located on Dow creek,
in 1861, but now living in Emporia, is
in town taking orders for 1.-THE Life and
Travels of Gen. Grant," and has been
quite successful.
Well, yes. Mr.. canon" Correspond
ent Fruitland) We accept your very
kind Invitation-will take look at the
girl and if she suits, and we suit, and she
hasn't any other suitor-why we'll be
suited.
There was young fellow in town yes
terday-don't know if he was parson
or not, but he came from Parsons-that
/ would take "them shoes lthe shoes Of
fered as premium to the hOmeliest
bachelor, by the handsome young lady
clerks at ThomasD in any crowd ever we
struck. He was so ugly. 1 showed him
to my girl, and for the first time in her
life she called me cher little beauty"
She was speaking by comparison, pre-
sumo. She and 1 are engaged now-to
attend the entertainment to be given at
Tressler's hall, on Friday evening, Octo-
Der oath. Come and see US.
j. s. Gibson, our hardware merchant,
is on hand with =. full line of stoves
cooking stoves and heating stoves, coal,
wood and gas stoves, office stoves, parlor
stoves, car loads of stoves-in fact, stoves
til you can't rest, and stove trimmings
of every description, and we have found
by actual experience that Mr.. Gibson
sells them full lower than they are sold
in Emporia. This he can do, as he has
no rent to pay, no clerk to hire, and all
other expenses are lower here than in a
larger town. KENO.
| p. S.-Should any of our friends meet
with the rooster from Parsons hope
they will Introduce him to Harry Hih-
ben, L. T. Heritage, C. A. Mitchell, T. j.
Koran, M. Coppock or E. p. Bruner, and
just see If he don't make them feel
ashamed of themselves for ever claiming
"them shoes" K.
FRIDAY, Oct II.

fore Squire Miller yeaterday.
Mr.. Greenlea has hung up an apple
tree limb in Miller's that is six feet long
and one inchthrough the butt carrying
fifty-two apples and Mr.. Greenlea wants to
know ifthat amt pretty high for Demo
cratic apple tree in an off year.
Another newspaper in Hartford" and
the Emporia Ledger says: "Americus,
where art thou?' In answer to the con-
nundrum, we would simply answer :
Americas is ahead as usual, with a daily
paper and three weekly papers. We
have the DAILY NEws-a paper that has
advertised Americas more then three
soeGkly papers published here would
have done, because il has a circulation
that can not be had by a paper published
here. We have the weekly News, the
weekly Ledger and Era any one of
which is better advertising medium for
Americas than local paper would be,
and besides they don't cost our merchants
cents where local paper costs dollars.
There are merchants in Hartford that are
paying 500 per year to keep the paper
going. That's all know about it ex-
cept what learn by the following postal,
which 1 give verbatim except names.

sir is their any livery Stable in
your Town If so how many Teams has he
and whether he would sell out what Is
the size OFF your Town Please let me no
By return NALL and oblige yours -
Hartford kan lyon CO.
There wasn't dollar enclosed in the
postal to pay for the trouble, or even a
nickle adhering to that postal to pay for
paper, envelope and postage, and that
makes me think they need a religious
papaper and an educational sheet in ad-
dition to the two papers already there.
SATURDAY, Oct -
Civil engineer Whitmore, of Dow
creek, was in town yesterday.
Some fellows have been stealing some
wood on the Trust land'' or somebody
