Las evening we took a ride out to
the stock farm of Mr.. Shoecraft, on Big
Creek seven miles northeast of this
place and found Mr.. S. busily engaged
in arranging things for greater conven-
fence in handling his stock of which he
grade cattle some of them quite fine and
all doing nicely; some wolnd make good
beef. These cattle have been driven
from the southeast part of the state
since about the LIST of June and have
only been here about six weeks and con-
sidering the drive have done remarkably
well. Mr.. Shoecraft finds that creek
water is not just the thing and has dug
a well, in which he gets an abundance
of water at depth of ten feet. He will
put in wind mill to which he will at
tach a corn crusher as well as a pump.
When he gets his troughs and yards
completed he will have one of the most
convenient stock yards in the county.
He also expects to build comfortable

Improvement to that part of the county.
Here as in in other parts of the county
we found corn in good condition and
othel. crops exceeding estimates; wheat
yielding from 25 to so per cent. more
than estimated.

We had occasion to visit Logan and
the southwest part of the county last
week in company with Ritner Smith,
our popular Register of Deeds, and
were agreeably surprised to find things
so prosperous and crops so good, With
the exception of some localities where
hail had done damage crops of all kinds

mourning the early death of a daughter
of M. Scranton. She was IA years old
and very much beloved. H. Ferret,

genial as ever; Bro. Gray of the Enter
prise busy with his weekly budget of

Without at his pleasant home; Capt.

In the evening we went over to the farm

Squire and his estimable wife, about
the best renters in Kansas, if fine crops
