PAoLA, Kansas, I

PAOLA, Kansas,
March Il, 1882. {
Paola is thriving town of about
2.0OC inhabitants. Unlike most Kan
sas towns il is not built Oh flat or level
ground, but is spread over veritable
"hills and vales,n making sufficient
slope in all parts OF the town for easy
drainage, thereby preventing sJagnant
pools which pOison the atmosphere
and increase the sick list in less favor
ed town. Owing To the fact that it
WAS settled at an early date and is sit
uated in one of the weaithiest counties
in the State, it eXcelS most OF its
western sisters i'll improvements in the
way of orchards, lawns, shade trees,
etc.
The Kansas Normal School and Bus
iness Institute at this place is in a

advantages to persons Of small means

Prof. j. Wherreli, the principal, is one
Of the best educators in the State The
teachers are all thorough and expert
enced. The branches are taught en-
tirelv by topics, and that made most
emphatic, which is most important.
Book keeping and writing are taught
OH new and original plans in which,
practice is made paramount.
The school building is u huge struct-
ure situated Oh an eininence that over
looks the town and surrounding coun-
try. AT a short distance from the
school building are two large new
boarding halls, with well finished and
furnished rooms and capacity for more
than a hundred students. They are
80 arranged and managed that good
board is had for 81 80 per week.
Teachers who wish to spend few
summer months at school can p.uba-
bly, do no better than at Paola, for
they can find suitable classes at any
time they wish to enter.

A Leading House.

Passing around amongst our busi-
ness houseSthe other day, we called in
at the Farm Implement and Seed
House of A. w. Beck. We were sur
prised at the large stock of goods dis
played. The building and shed, for
storing farm implements, extends the
full length and width of the lot, and is
full of goods. We had no idea that as
many implements as Mr.. Il has now
on hand could be sold in lola in any
one season, yet he is receiving more
goods every day. Another full car
load is expected this week. 1t would
be impossible to enumerate all the
articles carried by this house. OF sulky
plows speciality is made Of the Justly
celebrated "Hapgood." This plow
Mr.. Beck sells under warranty that
it runs lighter than any walking plow
Of same size. The Champion, Brown
and Avery corn planters and drills,
and Avery and other check rOwers are
also carried. Furst & Bradley, Hap
good, Moline and other first-class
makes of plows. Eagle, Western. F..
l. Il. and many other makes Of culti-
vators. OF riding cultivators, the
Imperial, Garden City, Elwood and
Sames. Jackson and Balm Wagons.
Buckeye, Empire. Osborne and Raw
son mowers, and Osborne and Deering
Harvesters and twlne binders. Garden
and field seeds of every kind and vari-
ETY., and repairs for all kinds and styles
of machinery.
The above is but very small part
of the stock. In fact they sell every
thing from a sewing machine needle
to hay press. Mr.. Beck has also
been shipping hay to various points i'm
Missouri. He has also sold number
of car loads of corn in this place and
in Yates Center and Toronto, shipping
it i'm from various points SOUTH west.
In fact Mr.. Beck seems to be making
an agricultural implement and seed
house success. And no one deserves
success more than he does. No enter
prise having ior its aim the improve
ment and building up of lola but what
he is ready and willing to aid both i'm
time aud money. Few if any of our
people worked harder to secure the Ft.
Scott Railroad than he. His trade ex-
tends into all the adjoining counties
except Neosho. He employs three
salesmen: 'Messrs. Burns, Barnes and
Adams. Burns and Barnes are on the
road, among the farmers, when wealth
er and roads will permit, selling on
Orders. Mr.. Beck is also supplying
four other houses in adjoining counties
with the implements they sell; the
goods being ehipped to lola in car
load lots and distributed from this
place.
