TUESDAY, March 10.
Mr.. Van r. Holmes, of Emporia, wa:
here recently, inspecting real estate, and
is we'll pleased with Bluff creek. His
opinion is that for stock farms and un
limited stock range, Bluff creek has
many advantages that should not be
overlooked by those wishing TO secure
permanent stock farms. . Prof. Grafton
lectured st the Edwards school house
on the evening of the 4th, on phrenol-
ogy and physiognomy. The profes-
sor is fair reasoner and the enter
tainment was very good, being inter.
spersed with some very pleasing delin-
cations of some of the gentlemen who
were present, showing that he was
q fair character reader. He gave a
present to the handsomest man and to
the prettiest lady, which added TO the
amusement, and caused great deal of
mirth. Master George Edwards received
the first, and Miss Viola Jackson
the award for the best looking lady.
After the entertainment some eight
or ten of the young gents received de-
lineations, desiring to know how far
they had advanced in the scale of OAR
winism. Mr.. j. B. Clapp has returned
from Tennessee, bringing one of the
fair daughters OF that state with him.
Mrs. Gardner, of Usage county, has
purchased a claim and is building a
dwelling and will soon have it completed
and then will make it her home.
Elder Joseph Brown, of Emporia, deliv-
cred two discourses at school house At
last Sabbath, one at II o'clock and one
in the evening. The house was we'll
filed with attentive listeners. He is a
plain and forcible preacher, fearless In
declaring what he believes to be the
word of God. j. Atyeo, of Emporia, was
up on Bluff creek buying fat COWS.
Andy Hinchman's pleasing phiz is smll-
ing on those that have steers for sale
A ball given by Frank Silfers was well

It's Just a BoomineI

Such is the expression from all drug
gists and dealers everywhere who are
selling DR.. Kings New Discovery for
consumption. No like preparation can
begin to have such an extensive and rap

or cold, no matter of how long standing
or how stubborn, can resist its healing
qualities. Asthma, bronchitis, hoarse-
ness, hay fever, pain in the side or chest
and difficulty of breathing or any linger-
