soldiers, Reunion /.

The old soldiers Of Allen County
will hold a reunion at the court house
in lola, May 18th, 1881, at l o'clock p. m.
One by one the heroes of the great
rebellion are receiving their final dis
charges, and are to be fund in the
line and in the camps no more. Time
with His remorseless hand is defacing
from memory the faces and actions
of those who stood shoulder to shOul-
der amidst the battles roar; who with
sad heart buried the dead; who shared
the SORROWS of Libby and Anderson
vile; and who together enjoyed the
comforts of camp and rejoiced in the
hour of victory. A few more years
and not one will be left. Let us then
cherish the memory Of the past; let
us keep bright the links of friendship.
Let us respond to the call of our Conn
mander as we did of old. Let us come
together and make arrangements to
celebrate the fourth of July, 1881.
Come one, come all, and each one will
find something to do. ~

Patronize Home Institutions

Patrouize home institutions. BY so
doing you build up and maintain your
own town, add wealth to your own
community, and eventually receive
back a good portion if not all the mon
ey you expend at home. Any other
policy in the long run is suicidal and
is sure to recOil upon yourself. A man
can better afford to paw a higher price
for an article purchased at home than
to send his money away from his own
town even if by SO doing slight saw
ing is at first made. Money sent out
of a community seldom returns, and if
it does at all, long time must inter-
vene. 4 dollar spent in your own
town remains there and you have an
equal chance of getting it back. Be
loyal to your home merchants they
and fair play would say stand by them
Special inducements are frequently
offered by foreign merchants just for
the purpose Of drawing your trade, but
In the long run they must make their
average per cent. and they will make
1t off from their customers. Stand by
your home mechanics. Give them
your work and they will feel called
upon to give you their patronage.
Inculcate this principle upon yourself
and strive to induce others To do the
same. Temporary advantages or
slight gain is often reaped by buying
away from home-but the inevitable
result of this practice generally fol-
lowed will be as disastrous to one as
to another. Bear in mind one fact
that which benefits the individual
eventually benefits every individual
in that community; and that which
benefits the community eventually
benefits every individual in that COM
munity. We make these remarks
general and yet ask every reader to
apply them personally. Patronize
home institutions.

New railroads are being built through
Colorado and adjoining territories to all
the mining districts Of any note, and
new towns are springing up all along
these roads. All of which plainly in
dictates that in the near future there
will be'a great demand made upon Kas.
for agricultural products, butter, cheese,
eggs and poultry. Our farmers should
take advantage of this their best mar
ket of the future, and be prepared to
furnish such articles as will be in
greatest demand. Poultry, eggs, but
ter and cheese bring fabulous prices in
the mining districts, and with little
care and attention they can be made a
source of profit to our farmers.

There will be land seekers excur-
sion from Auburn and Rochester, New
York, over the Kansas City, Lawrence
and Southern railroad on the 9Th OF
June next. On account of the long
continued cold weather of last winter
and this spring, the tide of immigra-
ton that has been going into the north
west, has been turned towards southern
Kansas, and it is expected that large
number of those who come on the eX-
cursion next June will be persons who
will locate somewhere in the southern
part of this State.
