A BAzoO representative had occasion 10
visit RI. Scott, Kansas, last week, and, al.
though he his long known this own. in
TACT. has visited it for years, he was struck
oy the many eyide noes of unusual prosper
Ity and growth be noted on his visit. The
city is fairly climbing up the height. of
real and stable growth, which must be a
source OF pride to her public spirited citi.
Gems and of every enc who wishes every
town the largest measure of success.
Every Indication OF thrift so sententi-
ously expressed by the wo,d 'aoon,n ia to
be seen on all sides. EaIdsoms business
houses have sprung TO existence within a

a Satisfactory business. The streets present
a lively appearance, hundreds of
farm teams being dsily sseu bringing In
the produce Of the surrounding country
and carrying out piles OF diff, rent goods.
The j'bb'ng trade OF Fort Scott Is not
heavy, but her re:ail business is most a At

In the N itter OF railroad facilitie.. the
town IS peculiarly fortunate, berg at the
junction OF the Fort Scott & Gull and the

Fl. >cott q Wichita road is located here.
This road is fast being extended, ard will
prove one OF the most valuable fes ders 20

Perhaps the most notable ind ustry in tn

be one OF the finest drives in the country.
Returning to the city, the scribe entered
the Huntington house in order to fill vac
um about the top of his pants. Behind the
desk of this house he saw the handsome
lace and form of that genial old Sedalia
toy who held a similar place at the Carl
son house for so long, Charlie Bsllou.
Well, that settled all doubt as TO whether

does not do this act. He has too much
reputation at stake to throw it away on
snide houses.

words are written, but merely to give a
just and merited word of commentator to

The Huntington is dahlia, and Charlie
Ballou two of 'em.
The BAzoo notes with pleasure Fl. Scott's
and bids it climb still higher.
