dust.

\. Henquenet returned from Mt.
Clemens, Mich, last Friday morning.
Mr.. Henquenet has spent the winter at
his old home to enjoy himself and to
boom" the new town of Hope, III
which he is interested. There came
with him from Michigan twenty heads
of families, who will settle in and around
Hope, which is, in fact, one of the most
promising points in Dickinson county.
These twenty Michiganders are repre-
sentative men, and will make valua-
bic addition to our county. That they
will make good citizens is proved by the
fact that they are all democrats. The
REFLECTOR, as the leading democratic
paper of Central Kansas, gives them a
hearty welcome. Mr.. Henquenet has
seen the officials of the road which is
being built through the southern por-
ton of the county, and he says that
the line is certain to embrace Hope.
Success to Hope and the indomitable
energy and shrewd foresight of Mr.. Hen
quenet.
