merly occupied by G. w. Bickford.

suffering for some time with boil on his
right leg, which has confined him to the
house part of the time.
c. A. Cline and II. J. Piper are two
young men who are here with view to
locating, and will probably do so by
buying some land in Freedom township
Irwin Mcdowell has returned from his
s'wild horse expedition and caught no
horses, but has whole herd of measles,
and can fill all orders for the latter
promptly.
w. w. Colby, one of Phillips couE-

AID a pleasant call Saturday. He
was up from KirWin attending the
teachers examination.
H. D. Kelley, Of Walnut township.
was in the city Saturday, and bought
240 acres Of school land in sec. 16, of
that township, which will make him
farm of 800 acres.
We witnessed the first churning at
our creamery on Saturday last. AL
though quantity not large, we would
Judge by actual test on hot biscuit
that the quality should grade fancy
in any market.
We have several good bargains in
land near this place. One excellent
piece is 100 acres laying within half
mile of town, good land, with plenty of
wood and water. For further particu-
! lars call at this Office.
F. E. Utter, of prairie view, who
used to play pedagogue in our city
| schools, was in town Saturday renew
| ing old acquaintance and doing lit
tie trading. Barring his Democratic
tendencies Frank is a good one.
E. j. Phipps, of this place, has just
arrived from Illinois with a herd of
highbred Herefords, to be placed on his
stock farm. His herd consists of about
20 head, all young stock, and a few of
them imported thOroughbreds. This is
by far the finest bunch of cattle in the
county u Norton Courier.
Shelton Henderson. of Ash Creek is
probably the most extensive farmer in
this county, having in this season 200
acres of small grain, and has and will
plant 200 acres of corn. Mr.. II. is one
of our best citizens, and no other col
Ored man or white either, has made q
better show of energy and pluck.
Rev. B. R. Turner left Tuesday night
for Selma, California, where he goes to
take charge of a Congregational Church.
Mr.. Turner has been engaged in the
| ministry of his church III this county for
several years, aud has made warm
friends both in town and country,

The Kansas Northwest, Lenora, Kas,
A L. Pugh " Co, publishers. is The
paper lately started by Will G.. Thorn
ton, formerly Of Kirwin and Marvin,
this county. It presents a neat appear
ance, but lacks home support, judgin9
from its advertising columns. 1t is
! Just possible that Bro. Thornton NAV
be mistaken about the long felt want OF
a second paper in the city of LenOra.
We hear the name of J. II. Young,
of Deer Greek, mentioned for the office
of County Superintendent of Public In
| structiOn. MIR. Young has had many
years Of experience as teacher and as
sistant examiner, takes great interest
III matters pertaining to education, ana
we believe would make a good officer,
and although in the past we have some
times locked horns politically, yet those
things are past and it would afford us
pleasure to heartily support him should
he be q candidate for that Office,
A drenching rain commencing about
| midnight Sur day night and lasting
until late Monday afternoon, prevail
ed over this part of the state and left
the ground so wet that it will De sever
al days before farm work can be re
sumed or level or low lands, and will
very much retard corn planting
which had already been put back by
the frequent rains during April, but
while corn is suffering in this respect,
the small grain is fairly booming, and
the present prospects are that we shall
have such crops as we never dreamed
of.
Joseph Shelton, of Dayton, called
on the HERALD Tuesday, and from
| him we learn that he did net lose any
sheep from the storm of April 10Th, as
we stated some time ago. His sheep
wintered well, but in 1Iarch his flock
with others, commenced dying from
an unknown disease, and which Il few
days since he found to be grub in the
head. On examination he found from
four to seven grubs in the head ofeach
dead sheep, Those that had been
dead some days, he found the grubs in
the brain. This is q matter that needs
the immediate attention of our sheep
men, and the columns of the HERALD
are open for any suggestions with re-
gard TO it.
