We are sorry to chronicle the fact
that rudeness among some of our un-
thoughted and would be young men?
has created much disturbance ia our
church assemblies. Whatever could
have been the motive melting the older
ones to such a course of conduct, it
should be remembered by them that
they should claim no right to infringe
upon the liberties of others. That the
house of worship is no more place in
which to exhibit rudness and bolster
business than is that o, any parlor or
apartment of the most fastldlous. That
upon the would be young men of every
community hinges the responsibility
and the honors of the rising youth in
our land. YoNKER

Report Of Oak Grove Sunday school.

The Oak Grove Sunday school at the
Wells school house closed its third
quarter Sept. 30th, with about thirty
pupils most of whom have been quite
regular in attendance. and have made
good progress as was shown on exam
ination. There were tour little girls,
Belinda and Estella Ely, Elsie Pervines
and Lochie Sumner, who could readily
recite the Lords Prayer and all the
Golden texts for the quarter from
memory There may have been others
who could do the same, but l did not
hear them. The whole school answer
ed questions well, and thereby showed
that the lessons had been studied with
care. 1t was voted to continue the
school another quarter. Now if more
of the older people would come out and
help US, 1t might benefit both them and
US. If this finds place in the GRAPHIC
will try to give a briet though more
report at the close of the next
quarter. if Wa live to get through.

One Response.

Ocr. Sth, ISS3.-MR. ED,roR.-Your
kind offer to give space in your exceil-
ent paper for farm talk, and suggest.
ions, is a favor of which the farmers OF
our county should not be slow to take
advantage. A friendly exchange OF
opinions can do no harm, and many
valuable suggestions can be given in
this way which would be otherwise i'm
possible. An intelligent farming COM
munity as ours by little trouble and
expense can scarcely fail to be of great
benefit to the county in this way.
Among other good results 1t will show
the people abroad that we take an in
terest in our business, that we are
alive and wide-awake. | hope all far
mers in Adair who can WELD a pen,
will take hold of this matter. Let us
try and make the farmers corner in the
GRAPHIC interesting as well as instruct
I've.
Some farmers in this section are con-
sidering the proposition of the GRAPHIC
to give 25 dollars for the best acre of
corn to be raised in this county. Be
fore deciding we would like to be in
formed how the award is to be made.
Those of us who take hand in this
matter will be interested parties. Will
1t be fair to leave the result to each in
dividual statement, or would it be best
to leave the result to committee of
two to be chosen from each township
by the parties interested. would res
peetfully suggest the latter plan as the
fairest and most likely to give satistact-
ion. 1t any one has better plan let it
be adopted, A. FARMER.

Farming in Kansas.

So many people are nowadays
breaking Tor Kansas in pursuit of new
homes and a fortune, that any newsy
racy talk about that booming state
makes very interesting reading indeed
clip from Reno Co. Kan. paper a
letter from Uncle z emo Tbarp,' which
is interesting for several reasons.
lst. Its a record of common exper-
ience: next it shows the wonderful ca.
paclty of that soil when weather is fav-
orable: and again it shows the value of
that staying quality which refuses to
be driven off for triaes-thousands of
families to-day are living in poverty,
who have abandoned homes in that re-
glon during the bad years that are
past, that might now hav&'een well off
if they had stuck to the shIn.,
The yield of grain, out there this
year is simply amazing Reno Co. is
not near as good a wheat county as
Mcpherson north Of it, yet Reno is
down for 100000 bushels of wheat
alone, with oats and corn in proportion.
One man had 10000 tonnds of grapes
with a market for one-half in Colorado.
Kansas farmers have tie decided ad-
vantage of market both east and west
for every thing they raise, but those
who contemplate emigration to that
state, will do well to remember that
changes there are so rapid, that small
pile of money won't do now what it
would have done few years ago.

Well, last fall our second son com.
menced for himself. We told him that
we would give him $240 for one year,
washing and mending, or one-third of
the crop-he took the farm and he has
made one hundred dollars per month
out of bis first twelve months in Kan
sas, and he has commenced another
year. One yeaS ago he had only one
pair OF two year old mules that we
gave HIM, now he has a new wagon,
new set of harness, all paid for, and a
farm OF 160 acres, all paid out except
$3.50, and has plenty of wheat on hand
to pay every dollar of that. You bet,
he don I stop to grunt. Zeno and his
boys raised 1000 bushels of wheat this
year, and Mr.. Wright threshed it.

Hurrah for Troy.

Last Monday Mr.. Wright commenc
, ed tbreshing for US, finishing our large
crop of wheat; he said that he hac
threshed 3407 bushels OF wheat for Mr.,
Gormley, of Reno Center, the mos,
bushels he had ever threshed for any
one man [ said, Mr.. Wright, we are
after the Deacon with sharp stick,
and ours was all grown on our own
farm. When the job was completed, |
SAID. we'll how have we come out. He
looked at his book and said, YOU are
lust fifty-eight bushels ahead: | was so
proud that | jumped three times over
the straw pile and threw my old hat
about fifty feet in the AIR. Old gran
gers, just think of it! 1865 bushels of
wheat, and 1854 bushels threshed IN
one day.
That man Wright is good thresher
and did as nice and clean work as |
ever saw; this is the third year he has
threshed for me, ne is running two
steam threshers. If any OF you old
grumblers think have stretched it, ask
him, and blow US up. Mr.. Wright will
not tell lie to please Zeno. He is the
nearest like George Washington of any
man ever met. A young Mr.. Boles
done the measuring, MIR. Lacy, of Hi
nois, timed the boys, w. H. Miller put
through seven half bushels in one min.
ute, then Shamp, the best feeder shov-
ed his nine half bushels through in the
same time. Mr.. Wright said that Zeno
had the best Sc. of hands he ever saw
around machiue. We never dream
ed or thought the two or three years I |
lived in dug o1t or sod house, that we
would so soon be one of the ''boss wheat
growers of the South west.
Since the first of March we have sold
81, 200 worth OF wheat and have 2,3OO
bushels on hand. Since the first of last
March we haye sold off the farm $3,-
800 worth of wheat, hogs, cattle and
colts; one two year old colt, 800, one
sucking colt, fifty dollars; and was Of
fered twenty dollars each for some of

BUSINESS POLITICS.

IL is more ana more eVlOent eVeI
day. that the days of Sentimental
politics are at an end, for a time :
least. Abstract theories, of govern
ment, or policy, are little needed. Eve
the old "catch words" that once stirre'
the masses have lost much of their pc
tency. The "bloody Shirt is burie'
in the last ditch, and both remain bu
as memory of a dream.
Early in the last campaign, Presi
dent Garfield, with his accute ant
trained sensibilities to the spirit of tn
masses, recognized the change ant
wisely gave the 'key note" to his fol
lowers, and he was elected as the safes
man to trust with the financial ane
economic interests Of the country.
Presiden: Arthur has wisely conduct.
ed his administration on purely "bus.
mess principles" and the country is
wondrously prosperous in every direc-
ton.
Democracy presents itself to the
country, but with no definite line of
policy mapped out. 1t hesitates to
take either horn of the dilemma pre-.
sented. Indeed it cannot if it would
reconcile the differences within its own
ranks. Differences not of administra.
ton, but vital differences of policy;
differences as widely separated as the
poles, Hence it has nothing to offer
the country, except "a change"
thing which the commercial, industrial,
and financial interests of tie country
naturally dread, and shrink from in
stinctively. Ifthe country we're in the
throes of a panic; if commerce was
PROSTATE; if manufactures were dying /; |
If debt and ruin was rampant and en-
terprise dead, then "a change" would
indeed be welcomed. Hence we con.
clude that unless some great calamity
overtakes the country or some unlock
ed for reversal occurs in business pros
poets, there is but little chance for the
democracy in 1884. Local changes
there have been and will be; minor
questions may, like that of prohibition,
disturb the present relations of muni-
cipd and state politics. but when it
comes to the greater interests Of the
whole country. We believe the country /,
win again decide to let "good enough" !,
