Soldiers, Attention I

SOlQISTSs
All comrades who are members Of
Phillipsburg Post No. a, G. A. R.
are requested to be present on Satur-
day evening, January 18th, 1888, as
the election of officers for the ensuing
year will take place at that time.
By order of E. DAVIS, P. G.
J. w. LOWE, .Adjt.
Tho entertainment given by Prof.
B. f. Nadal and Frank Lawrence at
this place on last Tuesday evening,
was well attended, considering the
weather and highly appreciated. Prof
Nadal is decidedly a success as an eIo-
cutiOnist, and we think we can see an
improvement since his last visit to
this place. His rendition of the Rum
Maniacn was very artistic. Mr.. Law
renee possesses deep rich bass voice
and will no doubt make his mark in
the musical world.
The Ellis Headlight has evidently
suffered from too much fire, as will be
inferred from the following card
which takes the place of the issue of
Dec. 29th. Bro. Jaques has the SYM
pathies of all good editors and their
earnest desire that he may be able to
dodge that other fire that is supposed
to be hotter than this.
OFFICE OF HEADLIGHT,
Ellis, Kan, Dec. %.
Five Fire! Fire!! We are laid up

weeks omission, we,wiH endeavor to
be with them again the first week Of
the New Year, Respectfully,

F. J. Close, of Troy, Doniphan
county, Kansas, is visiting his father
and brothers in this place. AS po-
litical brick, Fred is a success. He
knocked the persimons in the District
Clerk contest last fall Notwithstanding
Cy Leland and Sol Miller were in his
wool. By the way this has been a
Close year in Kansas politics. One in
Doniphan, one in Phillips and one in
Norton got there. We believe Fred is
| somewhat of a property holder in
Phillips county, and is combining
business with pleasure in his visit.
H. S. Granger, Chairman of the
Board of County Commissioners says
that he has raised 2, 100 bushels of corn
that he has sold 14hOgs that averaged
361 pounds and has Il spring pigs
which he expects to sell in February
and will average about the same.
His corn has exceeded his estimate and
The was compelled to stop gathering to
build new cribs. Mr.. Changers farm
| has been source Of pride to all lovers
of well managed farms and his neigh
bOrs would do well to emulate it. We
! have taken. pleasure in showing it to
| strangers who have been looking at
the country. What this country needs
is such Changers as II. So
-Demorist's Monthly Magazine be-
gins the year brilliantly: the Janu-
airy number for 1883 being unsurpass-
ed by any that have preceded it. The
/ articles are of unusual interest, es-
pecially, How we live in New York,
by Jennie June Holiday Gifts and
Customs in Paris, - Visits, and Man
ners at the Table" and Current
| Topics" which is full Of valuable in
| formation. Most of the shorter stories
AdmiraPs Ward" keeps up it's inter
est. Every department is carefully
filled. The 45 illustrations are excel
lent, among which is a splendid oil
picture. '"The Fisher boy and the
Fisherman's daughter" No family
will regret subscribing to this admira-
BILE magazine, as it supplies house
hold want, and is both useful and en-
tertaining.
III S Granger, Chairman of the
Phillips County Board of Commission
ers, closes his official career with this
meeting of the board. We believe we
can truthfully say that no man has
come to that office better fitted for the
discharge of its responsible and perplex
ing duties by a long experience in
county business than has Mr.. Gran
ger, making himselfat once thorOug b.
ly acquainted with the affairs of the
county, he has kept posted in al
things pertaining to it, and has been
a faithful and efficient servant, whose
loss from the county Board will be g
loss to the whole county, as but few
hNT N 40,
tons to fill his place. Differing as
he has had tn IN many instances as tC
the conduct of affairs of the county
with those who were interested III par
ticular matters to be decided yet, we
believe it will be the universal verdict
that he has brought unqusetiOned
honesty and high order CT ability tt
the discharge of his duties and that his
acts will bear the test of time. In his
retiring it is the wish of the HER
AID that he may continue to prosper
