1t is reported that in our neighbor-

tson asked is, what Office are you run

The county commissioners have
been in session this week, a full board

IF. G. Baker, after attending the
county fair, says he has renewed faith
in Kansas. He says the display of veg

saw.-Enterprise.
The fair held at PhilIipsburg last
week developed the fact that Phillips
county has raised this year a great deal
of fine grain and an endless quantity
of egetables.-Independent.

passed through Phillipsburg on his way
to hold quarterly conference in the north
part of the county, Saturday and Sun
day.
Major Drumhiller made neat lit

Our good friends Of the Kirwin
"Iudependent" must be "Flourishing
like a green bay horse" Since the 1st

George VanAllen, an eighteen-year old
