Pebbles From Tory.

Investigation shows that the wheat
in this vicinity has not been materi-
| ally injured by the cold weather. but
is sill in good state Of preservation.
In fact judging from the way the
wheat disappears from some granaries
on stormy nights, we think the ground
Is the safest place for II.
There IL considerable sickness In
this locality, but none Of very seri-
Gus nature.
There will be spelling school at the
Mount Pleasant school house, Friday
night Of each week, conducted by
Miss Hattie Godfrey.
Our township election was the most
quiet OF any that we ever attended In
Kansas. We think that we have
elected an able and efficient township
board. and one that will give general
satisfaction. The question Of voting
bonds, in aid Of the new railroad
through this county, Is being pretty
thoroughly discussed, and I would
advise the friends Of that measure not
to go to sleep i'm fancied security,
thinking that the bonds IRE bound to
carry, for IL we read the writing on
the wall correctly. 1t will require con-
siderable work to carry Saline county
in favor Of the bonds.
s. s. Godfrey has Just shipped two
carloads Of line beef cattle to Kansas
City. May success attend him In his
venture.
We hear a rumor of the return Of
several of our old neighbors who went
TO seek their fortunes in the noun
tains of the far west, q few years ago.
We shall be glad to welcome them
back. They are like all that leave
Kansas: they are bound To return
sooner or later.
Judging from appearances, we think
that one Of our neighbors intends to
change from farmer to gardener. We
wish them success. Rocks.
