Sylvia May Young was born April
IA, 1865, and was therefore at the time
of her death in her nineteenth year.
She grew to young womaph6od here
in lola, and was known by almost
every body. In large circle of
friends she was great favorite for her
many admirable and lovable qualities.
She was open-hearted, sympathetic,
and sincere, and attracted many and
warm friends wherever she went. Just
before her last illness she was making
plans to obtain thorough education,

Sylvia was great sufferer, lying upon

all she was patient and uncomplain-

tender care of her friends. To the low

to patronize an establishment like that

STILL PRosPERINo.

We doubt if many of onr citizens
actually realize how much business is
carried on at the Carriage Works of
Messrs Knapp & Co., as nothing but
an extended visit to their shops and
sale room would give one anything
like correct idea of it. We made
such visit last week in company with
the enterprising head Of the firm, Mr..
VIM. NJ. Knapp, and were really sur
prised at the quantity and class of
work that was being turned out to I'll
orders. In the paint rooms we found
an elegant side bar buggy, which has
been built to the order of ]. E. Ireland.
When finished it will be a buggy that
any one may be proud to drive.
There was also O fine st. Julian side
bar top buggy, yearly completed for
T. Nealy, Of Muncie, Ind. This order
comes from Mr.. Knapp's old home
and speaks volumes for his reputa-
ton as carriage builder. Mr.. Knapp
has done Mr.. Nealy's work for four
teen years, but this buggy will be
the finest one he has ever built in
Kansas. They have also i'm course of
construction fine canopy-top depot
wagon for Clodfelter & Booth, of Cher
ryvale, which will be very hand
some vehicle when completed. In adj
dition to the work that is being done
on orders, the factory has a great deal
of repairing to do for parties at dis
lance. Among other 'jobs" we no
ticed that phaeton belonging to C.
w. Hill, of Parsons, was receiving a
overhauling.
In the salesroom we found splen-
did array of buggies and carriages of
all kinds. One of them, a fine side
spring top buggy, was marked "sold
to Strickland Bros, Thayer." Another
one of much the same. style was
marked to E. Buck, Cherryvale; an
other to A. l.. Hoffman, one of the
farmers of Usage township,
while still another was consigned to
Jas. Hart, Fort Scott. This last de-
serves special mention as one of the
buggies ever built in this
State. 1t is Timpkin spring side bar
top buggy, and is very light but
built. 1t weighs complete
but little over $50 pounds. All of the
buggies just mentioned were of Knapp
& Co.'S. own make. They keep sup
ply of lower grade work OH hands
all the time, but very little oft is sold,
as the superiority of the Knapp buggy
is too evident when both are placed
side by side.
This is what we saw i'm a half hours
visit and it shows that the lola Car
rage NNorks, although established
only two years, are already well
enough known to draw custom from
almost every town in Southeastern
Kansas. The factory now employees
fourteen men, all skilled mechanics,
and the weekly pay role averages about
el8O, but If their business continues to |
increase in the same ratio for the next
two years, they will have to double
their capacity.

JUDGE rALcorT'S CANDIDACY


In this issue, Judge Talcott announ-
ces himself an Independent candidate
for Judge Of the Seventh Judicial Dis
trict, giving as his reason therefor the
custom of the District in not holding
conventions heretofore. We regret
that the Judge has felt called upon to
take this position. With three Repub-
Iican candidates and one Democrat In
the field, it would seem sufficiently
clear that the Republicans must adopt
some means of uniting upon man or
invite inevitable defeat; for whether
the Democrats indorse their man by a
convention or not, they will unite in
his support. We are ready enough to
grant that party politics shOnld not
enter into the question of the judge
ship. But we know that under the
present circumstances, when there Is
no candidate that can be said to be
pre-eminently the choice of the people,
irrespective OF party, party lines will
be drawn; and such being the case,
we prefer to see Republican judge
in Republican district. The plan Of
the convention proposed is certainly as
free and representative as it can posi-
bly, be made. It gives liberal repre-
sentation, and by the election of the
delegates direct from the townships
themselves, it eliminates machine
work" as nearly as it can be eliminated
in any representative system. We
certainly think that such convention
will express the will of q majority of
the party as accurately as it can be ex-
pressed, and that Republicans ought to
be willing to abide by it.
Aside from this, Judge Talcott is
personally popular. and commands a
large following that will be loyal to
him under any circumstances.

Death is seldom a welcome guest.
Even when it comes to the aged whose
life has been rounded and fyh, it
brings sadness and gloom that no
philosophy can entirely dispel. But
when it comes to the young, to one
who has just reached the threshold of
active lifeit seems peculiarly hard and
1t was such a feeling as
this that added greater sorrow to the
grief of his friends when they learned
of the death, on Sunday morning last
Of Robert Curtis Colborn.
"Curt" Colborn, as he was univer-
sally called, was born in lola Feb. IL,
1854, and has lived here all his life.
Every body knew him and many who
were not particularly intimate with
him, will feel sad loss i'm not meeting
him on the street any more, while
among those with whom he was init
nately associated, his loss will be very
keenly felt. Always generous and
,pen-hearted, he was a universal IA
vorite with his boy associates, and had
not an enemy in the world.

we're more largely attended than any
hat have been held in town for years.

It is now conceded that what was
intended to be the N. T. lola and NJ.
road will be built direct from Girard to
a connection with the X. c L. & S. X.

Chanute paid $50, 900 in cash as an in
ducement. If that be true, the whistle
was dearly bought.
We understand that the directors of
the Neosho Valley District Fair have
about decided to employ the lola Cor
net Band to furnish music for the fair
this fall. They will never regret it il
they do. for "our band" can give them
as good music and as much of it as any
band in this part of the state.

that her sugg estions are worth careful
consideration. Her post office address

would be willing to answer any ques-
tons that may be suggested by her

We commend the following from
the Breeders Gazette, to those who
have limited means and intend tn
improve their stock:
AS We have often stated. the cheap.
est and quickest way i'm which Il
farmer of limited means can secure a
supply of improved stock is to persist
emily use well bred males on the best
females of common crOss-bred stock
he can afford to purchase. The cost
of herd OF flock of the more popular
breeds is so much that the average
farmer cannot afford to purchase
such. 1t is fortunate that high
grades-animals of seven, eighths or
more 'bloOd''-are often nearly OF
quite as good for all practical pur-
poses rs those technically pure bred
This being true there is little room
for arguing that "A farmer may not
secure good stock. The use of well
bred males for few years will give
him good stock, if he use good judg.
ment in selection and give his stock
good care.
But herd or flock of pure bred
animals may he built up much sooner
than is usually thought, given only Il
very small foundation. OF course
there is an element of uncertainty in
ali breeding. "A mare, COW, eve, or
SOW may fail to breed or may per
Sistently produce male offspring; but
with the average results, the progeny
of even one female will soon become
Il large number. Surely, there IS no
good reason why farmer may not
have herd of pure bred hogs If he
wish. Let him purchase Il SOW in
pig now, and by the autumn of 1885
he may have as many young brood
sOwS as most farmers care for. In
five years the progeny of one eve
may become a good sized flock.

How Watch Cases are Mo1e.

1t Is a fact not generally known that the
James Boss' Gold Watch Gases really con.
tain more pure yo!d than Many "solid "
gold cases The demand for these watch
eases has led to the manufacture Of a very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases-
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from I 10 ~ karats,
and 8 or q karat case is Often sold for IL
or IA karat. Ii is NOT economy to buy a
watch case SO poor in quality that il will
soon lose its color or one SD soft that il will
lose It's shape and fail to shut tight. thus
