Lesh Bros. have made some new ar
rangements in their store. 1t is better
for them and makes things look much
nicer. We arise 10 point of order. If
Crock is going to furnish the boys in
tobacco, we want them to be compelled
to smoke it in his own shop or take up
a subscription for the boys and get bet
ter tobacco. Wire fences are poor

FRIDAY, Dec. 10.
Samuel Harringer had quite lively
racc yesterday. While going to the tim
Der after load of wood, becoming chill
", he walked on ahead of the team and
left his little boy to drive. when the
team started to run and the boys utmost
efforts were unavailing TO stop them.
| The father started in pursuit, and over
| took them after two-mile race. The
boy was spilled out, with only slight in
| juries, and the team was found with the
neck-yoke broken and the tongue doub-
led up under the wagon; no injury to
the horses. It was certainly narrow
escape for the boy. The tenth annual
tour of the Davis musical and dramatic
troupe is advertised for the 10th. If it
is anything like it was the last time it
will be we'll worth going to see. The
business meeting in the interest of the
Herald failed to get quorum, therefore
the business was left with W. Anderson
We were up to the "Head Light literary
society. The speech made by w. P.
Lewis and W. Wheat on the debate was
good, and we think that if there was not
a Magnet of attraction in attention at
that Iyceum (some say two or three) that
he (Wheat) would be down to take up
his abode with US. The president in
formed US that it was a kind of an ''off''
night. We thought SO, at least good
many of the speakers were 'off," some
off the subject and some off the debate
altogether. The Buncomb light guards
was excellent, and the juvenile portion
of the entire lyceum was good Politics
are not allowed to enter in the discus
sion, that is the reason of so many
"split" tickets at their election of off,
GERS. The second rendition by the dra-
matte and musical entertainment will be
given Saturday night and we would
cheerfully recommend the performance
to the patronage of Americas citizens. :. i.
The McNabney Bros. are putting up q
couple of dwelling houses in the vicinity
of James Erving's. One building is to be
PAPA feet. We did not learn the size of
the other but no doubt it will be good
comfortable dwelling. We saw an old
Bach" in town the other day buying
hair oil and we saw other things that
looked very suspicious. We want
another dry goods store and must and
will have it as there is not a better place
in Kansas that we know of. The dry
goods store We now have is doing good
business and is carried on by men of
undoubted integrity but as opposition
is the life of trade and as more trade
would come here if we had little CON-
petition we can not see how another store
of that kind could fail TO build up good
business None but first class men need
apply. BURLow.
SATURDAY, Dec. II.
Al Lowry has returned from Garnett
looking hale, hearty and happy. We
don't know what he goes there for, but
we don't believe he will enjoy .'single
blessedness" very much longer. d. T.
McCauley's sale will come off Deem
Der %. :. Harry Heasley has just re-
ceived a first class piano. There win be
music in the air now. Davis Emusic
box" has gone to Florence, and its mel
odious tones will be heard no more. We
are sorry. -..F. D. 10y says she is not a
Free Methodist. did not say so, and
if did I will take it all back. ;. The
Davis troupe arrived today. :. o. S.
Wiley has bought out Joe Holderness,

in this place. BURIow.
