We have recently had laid before us
a book entitled the Imperial High
way" which we have glanced through
with considerable interest 1t is one
of those comprehensive books that is
a whole library in itself, and is full of
useful thoughts and suggestions that
every one may read with profit.
On account of the necessary absence
of Mr.. Slower, who goes to Humboldt
to assist at the installation of officers
in the G.. A. r. post at that place, the
Dramatic club has decided to postpone
the representation of Rock Allen"
until a week from tomorrow night.
In the meantime they are working
hard and the postponement will only
serve to render the performance more
perfect. Bills, with east of characters,
will be out early next week.

among the Farmers of the county as
being not only the best place to sell
produce, but the best place also to buy
supplies of all kinds. Mr.. Eli
Benedict, one of the successful
farmers in the vicinity of Bronson,
was in town last week, and in CONVEX
sation with him he informed US that
he was here to buy wire for fencing
one hundred and sixty acres of land,
because he could get the wire cheaper
here than he could at Fort Scott.
On Monday nice appearing gentle
man was on the streets selling a pat
ent window blind. After reciting its
advantages for a few minutes he re-
marked to his listeners that he had
some prize packages of soap and other
little articles that he was selling to pay
his expenses. The grand prize was
forty dollars, and the package contain
ing the lucky number would draw it.
1t didn't draw it exactly, but it cost
some of our prominent citizens from
ten to thirty dollars apiece TO find it
out. 1t was the same old trick, and
caught the same old victims. It's a
pretty safe rule never to bet on an
other mans game.
