SPELLING OF NAMEs.-The American ncwspa-
pers are not always infallible authority on the
spelling of the names of persons and places.
When they take q notion that name is spelled
thus and so, because some other word that
sounds like it is spelled that way, they stick to
it like grim death.
For many years, when the papers had Occas-
ion TO speak Of the venerable Kentucky pOliti-
clan who has inst died, they called him Leslie
Combs His name was Leslie Coombs, and al
ways spelled 50, in the earlier days Of his fame
for instance, during the celebrated Presidential
campaign of 1874, when he agreed to climb the
tall ash-pole at Lexington feet formost and head
downward, if Henry Clay was not elected.
During the rebellion, a noted place in the op-
erations of the Army of the Potomac, mentioned
almost every day, was written Culpepper, be-
cause the last two syllables were pronounced
the same as pepper. But there is no double p
in the word. 1t is Culpeper.
One Of the principal towns in New Jersey is

A BLowHARD.-Mr. Herring, postmaster at
Highland Station, again appears in our columns,
defending himself against the attacks of the Cen
trai State Mr. Herring has no more to do with
OBTAINING or missending Highland mail than we
have. He has nothing TO do with il. He has
incurred the displeasure of the Central State ont
fit, and they take out their spite by abusing
him for the neglect and mistakes Of mail carri-
ers and route agents. They might as well abuse
the postmaster at White Cloud or Iowa Point
because there are sometimes blunders in the
transmission Of the Highland mail. The truth
is, the new manager Of the Central State is a
great blow-hard, and his columns are being used
by local politicians to salye their old sores and
pay off their old grudges. He speaks Of the val
ne and importance of each issue of his concern,
as if the fate Of the world hung upon it. He
does not own thu. concern, but has assumed il,
loaded down with ehattel mortgages for more
than its value. He will use il to rake in all the
proyender within reach, when ho will abandon
it TO the next conner, and light ont. He is al
ready Dragging how he used TO bleed and black
mail candidates, where he formerly held forth,
holding off for the highest bidder, and raking in
the biggest pile. lie is now on the lookout to
pouuce down upon and bleed candidates in this
County. He will find this n poor field for his
business. Doniphan County is bad place for
Matchmaking or bulldozing. The candidate
who pays him, will pay for something of much
less force than the concentrated and perfumed
extract of beans

II II. Clay Williams, brother of Archie Will
Jams, of Topeka, died last week, of consump-

year ago, as having convinced an insurance
company that he was good dead, and col

his own estate, that he might pay off his debts,
and settle up the estate, thus avoiding that
trouble and expense to his friends, after his

DNOW all men by these presents,
~ that from September 18th to 18th,
1881, there will be held, in the city of
Topeka, Fair, known as the Kansas
State Fair.
PROPER appreciation of this fact
- by the people of Kansas cannot but
result in such a display as will astound
the Oldest inhabitant of this wonderful
State.
A0 0WHERE will there be so many
IN items of interest for the farmer,
mechanic, and professional man as may
be seen at this great Exposition.
oURELY, the prospect of a race be-

NY lover of equestrianism can graf

the twenty-mile race for $4,000 stakes,
between the Kansas girl, Miss Curtis,
and Miss PinneO, of Colorado.

cornet bands, in the grand band tourna-
ment. ~

ins, and your aunts, in order that
they may see the Photographic display
from Boston, together with the works of
our State artists.
MAN who does not admire heavy
hogs, corn fed cattle, handsome
horses, and softwooled sheep, should
stay at home, and never sing of culture
again.

of the Kansas State Fair, to be held at Topeka,
commencing on the 18th inst, and continuing

PROMISES, the biggest Fair west Of Chicago or
81. Louis The managers are determined, this
time, to have STATE Fair in reality, and it
will be held where State Fair ought to be- at
the Capital. The Atehison, Topeka d Santa Fe
Railroad, the only kaRsas railroad we have,
which made the Kansas display at the Centen-
nial success, is backing it, and is determined
to make it 90. The charges on this road, from
all points, for going TO and returning from the
Fair, will be only one cent per mile. This will
make the round trip from Atchison only about
one dollar, which is almost equivalent to a free
pass.
An attractive feature Of the Fair will he the
Grand Reunion Of Soldiers from over the whole
State, including loye-feast of the survivors of
Rebel prisons.
II is impossible for us here to enumerate all
the great attractions that will be presented.
The only way to get an adequate idea Of it, is
for everybody to 90 and see.

Y In the desert of crazy excitement, it is re-
freshing to find an occasional oasis of common
sense. Padonia Township, in Brown County,
has defeated the proposition to subscribe bonds
to the Missouri Pacific Railroad extension.
These Township bonds are simply gobble off
the people. If it is intended to build the road,
the refusal to vote 5000 or $1,000 of bonds
will not stop it; and if it is not intended to do
so, that amount will be no inducement. The
amount is not large, but it would be burden
upon the people. The bonds are not intended
to aid in building the road, but to pay bummers
for doing the work, and TO secure men who have
pledged the right of way. The people are asked
to tax themselves to build the roads, aud when
they are built, they Will rob the people by ex-
tortionate freight charges A railroad corpora
tion has no mercy upon the farmers; why should
they burden themselves with taxes to aid the
corporations in building their roads'
