We venture that his is one of the most

Mrs. P. j. Carl has just received a

A CHANGE.

In 1876 John Fallen, of Solomon
township, had occasion to prove up and
pay out on a quarter section of govern
ment land and in order to do so had to
borrow the money of Stephen Moulton
the only man who had money to loan
in the county, paying him 8 per cent.
per month for the money for two. years
making S72 interest for 5000. Since
that he has secured 800 acres of land,
the last 100 was bought last fall subject
to a Z per cent mortgage due in three
years. Last Saturday he forwarded the
money to pay the last mortgage and
now owns his land and a fine lot of
stock and owes no man dollar.
Evidently money matters are easier
with John than they were seven years
ago.

James Billiard has traded his property

his family about the middle of this

goods at Phiuipsburg, on the 18th.
Judge Pratt is spening the week at
home on account of April having more
Mondays this year than the law pro-
vides for. He has held court in Norton,
Decatur and Rawlins counties, clearing

Northwest.
Jewell county printing is now done
by the Monitor for 16 per cent. of legal
rates; Mitchell county gets her print
ing for 40 per cent; Norton county
pays rs per cent. and we believe that
Phillips county is now the only county
in Northwest Kansas that pays full
legal rates.
