MIXING the crop prospects verv closely and
must say never saw a finer prospect. From
my rancho to Garrett, Colony, Blue Mound,
Fort Scott, Bronson, Moran and lola, flax,
castor beans, potatoes, broom corn, rye,
wheat, oats and corn are all clean and thrifty.
My dear Sirs, If the present prospective crops
should mature as well as they look to-day there
will oceans of ''kale seed' flow into onr part
of Kansas this fall. Yes, every rancher will
ride in a toy buggy, sure.
Well, we had surprise wedding in onr vi
cnity the other day. \ Mr.. Martin, of Iowa,
to Mrs. Gardner. l met them at the depot
starting on a wedding tour, all smiles and
| pleasant looks. 1 had the pleasure of congrat-
| ulating them. Mr.. Martin is a fine, honorable
PLEASANT old gentleman, and the widow has
| made big drive with her ducks. 1t is very
strange to see men sit around on the stool of
io-nothing and let stranger step in and COB
bic up our good widows. Uncle George could
have stopped all this thing if he had only put
| that sorrrl to a new buggy and drove over once
or twice all his unpleasantness might have

peoples happiness. Our creator said it was
not good for man to be alone.

the donkeys head up as high as it could be
drawn and commenced operations well. The
first thing knew there was racket; saw the
mule gIing up and 10 going down. I thought
the mule was flying out through a hole in the
shed; yes, his ears were going fore and aft and

mule" and walked of.

Ii is astonishing the amount of style that
people are putting on now days. Some styles
one way and some another. Some women put
it on with a kind OF scOup without a handle
bonnet some women put it on with a big sun
flower and plantation hat, with about fourteen
