Enquire at this Office
Chancellor Fairfield entertained .
crowded house At the court house last
night, the 18th, for All hour and . half
leading them over and through the
world renowned land Of Egypt, with
stores Of his own personal observations
while travelling there. that had in them
such an enchanting charm Of interest
that We. with doubtless many others.
could have been pleased and happily
interested listeners for an hour more.
The Chancellor seems 10 be fairly en-.
titled the honor OF being the most in.
terestive orator Of the state. This was
the second time that We have heard
him here and We want to lie ON hand
when the third opportunity offers is
self.
On Wednesday the 9th inst, William
Crouch, one Of the oldest settlers OF
the county, residing on Elm Creek,
died, after a lingering illness Of SIX or
eight months. Uncle Billy" as he
was Familiarity called and known, was
one of Johnny Bulls" honest. ardent,
persisting sons Of toll, who could not
enjoy life unless he was trying to do
something for himself or some one
else. Though very poor when he
came to the county. by dint Of indus.
try, economy and good management,
he acquired what would probably he
well entitled TO be considered \ com.
petence for his widow, who seems TO
be the only surviving relative in this
vicinity.
We have been requested to call at.
tention to the importance of organic
ing a fire company Of some kind. In
consequence of the scatterings Of hay
and other feed from wagons where
farmers feed their teams, and the
throwing out Of straw and hay from
boxes OF goods packed therein. and
scattered all owe the ground and dried
to perfect finder by the hot sun and
winds, make it extremely dangerous
on account of so many men throwing
away stubs Of cigars, and emptying
their pipes carelessly etc. We are OF
the opinion thst it would be a pre-
caution worth the taking. but the
question is who will lead Off i'm any
movement that shall result in the
desired object.

Mr.. Humphry Smith, Of White
Rock, Republic County. Kansas, who
bought tho Widow Ross' farm recently,
4 miles west of town, passed through
here Wednesday, the 10th, with the
advance train Of effects, to take poss.
ession of his newly acquired estate.
Mr.. Smith is what this country vas ex-
pressly made for, in u judgment.
A stock farmer, driving with him some
fine stock Of horses, and nearly q hun
dred head Of well graded horn cattle.
are more than glad to welcome to
our midst all such settlers. We pre-
dict success to Mr.. Smith. for he seems
to realize the worth of the local press
as evidenced by his advance pay sub
scription to the CHIEF.
Since our last issue We have been in.
terviewed by several on the subject of
the justice or injustice of the action Of
the county central committee in their
arrangement for representation in the
convention. As plainly said
last week, We think the action wrong,
whether Intentionally so or not. When
Il VA known by those who acted in
The case. who by the way, were only
about one-third Of the members who
really ought to have constituted the
body for the transaction Of that bust

party last fall, it seems to Us, to take
he most charitable view Of il. and to
express IL in the miLlest terms of dis-
