favorable reputation. The fact is, flint
carriage work cannot be procured any
where else in south eastern Kansas
Kansas people are getting tired of thu
"cheap John" buggies that have beer
peddled through the country, and arr
beginning to realize, that tbs better t.
pay little more, and get such hand
some, durable, and splendidly running
buggies and wagons rs this firm
makes. Still, to accommodate thost
who cannot now afford the highes
priced work, the carriage works are
now keeping in stock cheap grade o.
work, which while much more durable
than the "Cinclnnati" buggies, is sold
ut the same price. One Of the most as
tonishing features of tho carriage works
is the facility with which they make
new vehicles out of old ones. And
this should be borne i'm mind by those
who have dilapidated buggies or car
riages. As will be seen by another
column, change has been made in
the management, by which Mr.. Knapp
associates with him in business
Messrs. Michael Fay, Frank Knapp
and Chas Harris. These gentlemen
have all been employed in the business
heretofore, and are all specialists in
their lines. Mr.. Frank Knapp is par
ticularly noted as doing fine painting
and finishing work. We in common
with their many friends, are glad to
see 1.-The boys" taken into partnership.
For further information, we refer you
to the half-page "ad" of this firm
on the last page.
BARB WIRE FACTORY.
This mandatory is just starting
under the management Of Mr.. B. A.
Casmire. He tells US that his ma
chinery is ordered-twenty carloads of
it-and will be on hand shortly. The
capacity Of the factory he estimates at
5000 pounds per day, and he proposes
to furnish this popular fencing at fig
ures that will crafty the farmers.
LOCK AND NOVELTY WORKS.
This institution, which has been
running for several months, is under
the control of Geo. H. Smith g. Son.
These gentlemen may almost be called
geuiuses in their line, turning out all
kinds of work, from rivet to the
most complicated locks and all kinds
of shelf and fancy hardware. They
have already filled many large orders,
and are giving special satisfaction in
all kinds of repairing.
CANNING FACTORY.
This is a new enterprise, but is in
vigorous hands amp will succeed. The
gentlemen constituting the partner
ship are Pat McCool, A. NJ. Johnson,
w. A. Scott and A. S. Hankins. These
gentlemen need no introduction to the
people of Allen county, and their
names insure enterprise and fair deal
ing. Work will be commenced on the
building which will probably be locat-
just west Of the X. G. l.. & S. X. de-
pot in short time. Mr.. McCool has
had nine years experience in the bus
mess and a brother Of his, who has fol-
lowed the business for thirteen years
in Indiana, will take the general man.
This means good market
for all the small fruits, sweet corn, to.
matoes and other vegetables that our
farmers can raise, and they will do
well to take notice and act accordingly.
We expect to make further notice of
this next week.
RAILROADS AND HOTELS.
Two substantial railroad lines, the
Kansas City, Lawrence and Southern
Kansas, and the st. Louis, Fort Scott
& Wichita intersect at lola and furnish
good facilities for travel and shipping
to all points. Some of our people have
grown somewhat skeptical as to the
of the Nebraska, Topeka,
lola & Memphis Railroad, but one of
the directors to-day informed us that
be had received information direct
from President Clark within the last
few days assuring him that the road
would be built according to contract
and within the franchises" The COM

through immense pine and coal fields
