THOMAS MAST, the cartoonist, in

he was out in Colorado looking al
the hole where his money was put.
He says it is as good hole az be

couldn't sell his interest in it for
enough to buy sirlom of liver.

The lynching on Saturday last Of
Ed. one Of the lawless Maxwell, or
Williams brothers, up north in this
state, where he was brought from
Nebraska to answer to the charge of
numbering officers Colmans last

makers and the judges, if they have
any faculty for interpreting such

grave thought. We tell them for
the hundredth time that the people
are growing weary Of the trifing
with justice that marks the admins

To the County Line.

Yesterday forenoon, upon the ar
rival of the train from Fort Scott, a
general invitation was extended to the
people of lola to take q ride over the
road to the west county line. Two
coaches were quickly filled, and, ac-
companied by the officers of the load,
the excursion pulled out. A short run
was made, and after arriving at the
west line, large number expressing
themselves satisfied, the train was
started back, arriving shortly after
noon.
We presume this trip was made to
satisfy the people that the conditions
of the company had been met, so that
they could procure their bonds at
once.

We are Of the opinion that those
parties whose lands have been levied
upon by the sheriff to secure the judg-
ment due WI. Richards, owe debt
of gratitude to Hon. John Francis,
State Treasurer. Mainly through his
efforts were. the railroad company In
dnced to examine the matter and see
the justice of aiding the settlers and
We believe it was largely owing to
his endeavors that they finally took
<he action they did. We have noticed
that Mr Francis has always been wide
awake to the interests of the people,
not only of the people of this county,
but the state as we'll.

GENEVA, August 81, 1851.
It tried hard 10 rain Monday night
and Tuesday morning but failed.
We have heavy hay crop, secured
in good shape and excellent condition,
considerable fair corn; some early
planted fields will yield a good crop;
and if September is favorable we will
have q fair supply of late potatoes. We
wish that many of our eastern neigh
bors who 90 often complain about
drouthy, arid Kansas, were as we'll off.
Many synapathized with Mr.. John
Black, Friday, as he left in our ceme-
terry the remains of his oldest boy, aged
about fourteen. We understand that
the lad is supposed to have had a con-
gestive chill, and went without any
warning.
We are told that at Clum. Denny's
sale Saturday, things brought fair
prices.
Mr.. Denny and family, accompanied

are good, industrious citizens, and our
best wishes 60 with them.
Mr.. L. J. Dickerson, our house
mover, with eight yoke of cattle-four
belonging to Samuel Dix at Neosho
Falls-rolled through town Thursday
with Eugene Esse's house, enroute
for the latter's forty acre home, lying
a little northeast. Mr.. D. will move
several houses this fall.
We hope all will remember and
attend the Township Primary meet
ing next Tuesday. It may sound
strange, but it is nevertheless true,
that there are citizens here, who wish
and work for fair, full representation
of the entire township. We see but
one way to secure this, and that is for
those who are quite distance off, to
attend attend and see that they re-
ceive their due. Some suggest that
Martin creek be made dixiding line.
and that our five delegates be chosen
thus: Two east, two west, and one
south of the river. It looks to us that
this would be fair and we appeal to
you fellow citizens to come and help.
Otherwise you will have the hands of
few tied, and the ring, the machine,
will have its own way. n.
