WOOL GROWERS IN CONVENTION

Last Saturday goodly number
those engaged in, and interested in wool'
growing met at the HERALD office for
the purpose of effecting a wool grow
ers association report of which will be
found elsewhere in the paper. Mr..
Thomas Dawson who was elected Pres
ident lives in Glenwood township. He
has flock of 700 high grade merino
sheep and fine lot of lambs; has bad
excellent luck during the past winter,
his sheep being perfectly healthy. He
is wide awake and thoroughly posted in
his business and may justly be regard
ed as the leading wool-grower in the
county, considering number and quail
ity. While other men may have larger
fiocks, it is doubtful whether any have
or can make as good showing as he
can. The matter of recommending a
man for sheep commissioner was dis
cussed and laid over until the next
meeting to be held at Phillipsburg on
Mond, y, June 4th. at which time the
Board of Commissioners will be in ses-
sion and will probably act on the sug-
gestion of the associations. 1t seems to
us that there ought to be little division
upon the question of selecting of Mr..
Dawson for this position. 1t is hoped
that every man in Phillips county who
is engaged in sheep husbandry viii be
present at that meeting at which time
the subject of disposing of the new clip
will be discussed ind constitution
adopted.

April 9th, 1888.
Mr.. EDITOR Il have waited, watch
ed and wondered for 10! these many
wears, why it was that some one from
this part of Gods moral heritage did
not arise and speak to the people
through the columns of your extensive
" circulated paper and tell them that
at the head waters of Ash Greek,
Phillips county, is a community of quiet
energetic, hard working farmers and a
locality second to none in Phillips
county, Kansas. 1 have waited in vain
and now for the first time feel inclined
to arise and speak, and by so doing
trouble the waters so that one mightier
than will come after me, whose pen ]
will not be worthy to grasp, and give
you many interesting facts.
shall not, at present writing, at
tempt to enter into the minute particu-
lars of every ones business, but will sim
ply say that we as people, who have
stood the trials and hardships of the
past few years, are .laboring with might
and main to make ends meet, raise
all the corn, cattle, sheep and hogs,
we can and do unto others as we would
they should do unto US.
We love our country and are determ-
ined to remain here and we have for
our encouragement these words of Di-
vine writ.
''Trust in the Lord and do good so
shalt thou dwell in the land and verify,
thou shalt be fed.''
Our crop prospect never was better
wheat, oats, rye and barley are com
ing on rapidly.
Many have planted corn, others are
planting as rapidly as possible and we
feel in hopes our GRANTEES will be re.
plenished this fall and all encouraged to
go on their way rejoicing, praisine
Kansas as well as the Giver of all good
blessings.
In conclusion, would say this is ar
era of economy and reform and foolish
is the man who allows his vote or indu
ence to, delay the funding of the county
debt; and now MIR. Editor, if you think
this letter will interest my brother
grangers, give it place in your col
umns. VULGo.

It is luscious to fall asleep at mid.
night, and be mobbed at 3 O'Clock a.
M. to catch train, and that luxury
was accorded your correspondent this
morning, at Kirwin. By the way, they
had genuine suicide at that place,
man hung himself, and his corpse was
aboard the train to-day. Preached Con-
cordia about o'clock a. M, and an
old friend of mine was waiting at the
depot who hustled me off to breakfast
with hospitable alacrity. After breakfast
I boarded the K. p train and came via.
of junction City, to this place, reaching
here at 3 o'clock p. N. l met an old
acquaintance on the road, Rev. Mr..
Sherman, of Stockton, with whose com
pany took in the city of junction,
while waiting for the train. By this in
discretion we were compelled to run or
be left; we waived dignity and chose the
former. We made it but fpuffed and
blowed for some time after. The crops
are looking finely all the way down,
but vegetation is ahead here. The trees
are we'll ..leaved, and I saw rye and
wheat nicely headed out. Some fields
ofcorn are up, while others are just be-
ing planted. l should judge that about
one half the corn is put in with a lister
Hedges are being extensively planted
and some fields are already nicely fenced
thereby. This afternoon 1 saw severas
fine orchards, which reminded. me of
old times, and to some of our old Iowa
farmers L would just say that l saw
genuine olu-fashioned shanghai rail
fence. almost forgot to state that l,
this morning, met Mr.. H. A. Fowler, of
Beloit, a partner of Judge Holt. He
is extensively engaged in the creamery
business. 1t is really astonishing to
hear him ''go on" He says that as a
sure way to get even with the country,
and believe he is right, stock and dairy
business will bring sure and profitable
returns.

In looking over the list of the Kansas
newspapers for the purpose of address
ing circulars, we observed some curious
names and now note them here: We
notice in the first place that the Kansas
press has considerable field to work
in, embracing one Sun, four Stars, two
Worlds, one Cosmo, seven Globes, one
Commonwealth, two Enterprises, one
Republic besides one Home and two
Homesteads. To enlighten the work
there are two Beacons, one Camp Fire,
one Torch TWO headlights, one Crescent
and the aforesaid Sun and Stars
when not darkened by one Eclipse
which ought to enable the two Arguses,
two Eagles, one Hawkeye, one Observ-
er, one Optic, and one Spectator to
see clearly. There is one Telescope
for long distances, and one Chrome
scope for measuring the duration of
these lights. The implements of work
are Sc, en- Presses, four Free Presses,
one Blade, one Cyclone, one Cabinet
and one Sickle. To do the work there
are one Agriculturist, two Bees, three
Citizens, sixteen DRnocrats, twenty
five Republicans, two Freemen, three
Friends, one Jayhawker, three Kan
sans, one Industrialist, one National
ist, two Patriots, one Prohibitionist,
three Pioneers, two Liberals and two
Workmen. To fit two Enterprises
there are one Localist, four Reporters,
one Messenger, one Mercury, one Spy,
two Spirits and one Traveller, guided
by four Indexes and one Indicator, to
gather sixteen News, with which to
load one ArgOsy, and to send one Bull
letin, two Dispatches, and one Tele-
gram, with two Telegraphs, to be re-
corded by six Registers, one Recorder,
and two graphics, in eight Record,
four Chronicles, and nineteen Journals,
subject to five Reviews, and two Tras-
cripts, to be sent out to one People and
two Worlds by. four Couriants, four
Couriers, one Carrier, two Expresses,
eight Gazettes, twenty-five Heralds,
one Mail and four Posts and to be re-
Elected back by two Echoes, and four
Mirrors. Should they go wrong, we
have three Monitors to call the m
back with two Calls. Should one Inter
State war threaten they can hoist two
Signals and one Banner, sound two
Rsveilles, one Clarion, place five Sen
tinels upon the outer walls and muster
thirteen Independents, and led by one
Chieftain, three Chiefs, six Leaders,
and seven Tribunes under one Stand
ard, with two Unions, can make three
Advances, march into one Interior,
take one Capithl, make one Progress,
rout the enemy twenty-nine Times and
put one Period to hostilitie. The1e will
1he be one Wonder and one Topic OF
interest. Should they encounter a suit
for libel, they have three Advocates one
Champion, one Witnesses, one Com
me- cIal, and the experience of one Wei
lmgtonian on which to rely for judg-
ment tor deIendant.-Winfield Courier.

May 9TH, 1883.
''What country Vox in his COM
munication to the HERALD of April 80,
conveys large amount of truth into
that pithy little sentence; and what a
country it is, it gives us health and vigor
to the body, it is rich in soil, and has
great possibilities; what country in
deed. Then while everything which
nature presents to the eye, is fast burst
ing into life, the hills and valleys,
dOnned in their coats of green, surely
it cannot be otherwise than all quiet on
the Prairie Dog, and everything pro-
crossing favorably. The rainfall in the
latter part of April worked wonders in
bringing forward spring wheat and oats
which are looking finely. The rye out
look here, is not comparing favorably
with what it was at this time last sea-
son. This IS due partly to the dry fall
and late sowing; the early corn plant
ing was somewhat retarded by wet
weather, but the planting has now be-
come general, and will be finished in
good season, as farmers generally have
their work well in hand and feel salts
fed they are masters of the situation.
Farmers begin to preceive that diver
siied farming pays best, and there will
be considerable attention given TO the
growing of broom corn and sorgum at
this place. Sorgum does well even in a
moderately favorable season. The
farmers see this and recognize the grow
ing of sorgum paying industry. This
interest is increasing in Importance, and
arrangements are being made to work
up large amount of cane the coming
season.
The stock interest is increasing here.
The Ross boys, and other parties have
recently purchased number of COWS
this means a creamery in the near flu
ture.
Mr.. G.. G. Vance, one of the best
sheep men in Phillips county; has been
very successful in handling his sheep.
They came through the winter in splen-
did condition. The young lambs are
are all doing finely. The increase and
wool clip will give him handsome
profit this season. This is the result OF
giving strict attention to business. Who
will go and do ikewiseP
1t seems to be the general opinion
that good crop will be raised this sea-
son, of course it is rather early in the
season to do more than speculate on
the probabilities of a good crop, yet,
taken as a whole the conditions are IA
vorable, and certainly farmers have
much to encourage them to do their
part towards raising good crops, and il
there is anybody who has any doubts
and are not willing to do their part.
then they are very ungrateful and ought
to be sent to Chicago to live, or they
might do, as Dickens fat boy said,
ssworser nor that MAJOR.
