JULY "a.
LOCAL HERALDINos.
Harvest is almost over.

the flush time that is near at hand.
d. c. Clark has cut, with header
450 acres of grain this season Verify
Dave is a rustler.
Several complain of severe colds
which is an unusual thing this time OF
the year.
We would add that our town would
assume more metropolitan airs if some
of the obnoxious hog pens were removed
from so near the public streets.
Last week we failed to mention the
departure for her home in Junction
City, of Mrs. A. L. Mcleod, mother OF
Mrs G. A. Spaulding.
Our delegates to the Senatorial Con-
vention came back this mOrEing well
satisfied with their part in the work of
the convention, and so are we.
G. A. Spaulding has purchased DIR.
Mallett's fine buggy team. We would
like very much TO ride behind those
splendid roadsters some day, George.
Last Thursday, during the unusual
rise In the Solomon, caused by the re-
cent rains, large break was caused by
the food IN the Logan Mill dam.
Considerable grain has been stacked
this week, most all the small grain that
could be cut is now In the shock. There
are still few pieces of oats and spring
grain to cut.
Mrs. Mary L. Polling, daughter-in-law
and Mrs. Mary Nj. McCOwn, of Ripley,
w. Va, daughter of n. Polling of this
place, are visiting in the city, and will
remain until cold weather
Harvest if about over and the sweet
voice of the threshing machine is begin
ing to fCat away on the pure Kansas
breezes, stacking is going on at a rapid
rate, and everybody seems to be as
busy as bees.
Eunice Bailey, year old daughter of
Al Bailey of this place
while visiting her uncle's ia mily in Nor
ton, fell from horse and broke her leg
one day last week. Her father went
out to see her Monday and has not yet
returned.
q ;orge Veeh and family, of Mound
township, left yesterday morning for
Minneapolis MINI. to take in the Nation
al Encampment and visit friends in
other parts of the state. Mr.. Veeh de-
layed this trip to the last day on account
of the press of his farm work.
George w. Young left Phillipsburg
Monday evening for the great G. A. r.
Encampment at Minneapolis, Mimi,
and while gone will visit Chicago and
other small cities and have good time
generally. We hope that George may
get back all right and that he will still
be Young when he returns.
Miss Jennie Leffingwell, of FIT. Col
lins, Colorado, is stopping in town
few days visiting the families of G..
H. LeifingWell and a. &. McClung
who are cousins of hers. She goes TO
williamsburg, Ohio, where she will
spend the balance of the summer Wis
iting friends.
w. w. Hanson, of Mound township,
sheep inspector of this county, called at
these headquarters Tuesday to renew
his faith in the HERALD, and also sub
scribe for the American Farmer. Mr..
II. is one of the old time citizens, whose
good opinions are highly priced by us,
coming as they do from one who is just
" entitled to be termed leading citi-
zen.
J. w. Bowman, who bought county
Clerk loves farm in Mound township,
was in town yesterday and took occa-
sion to call in and subscribe for the
HERALD. Mr.. Bowman is an old SOL
der, having served in the 10th Indiana
infantry during the "late unpleasant
ness - was q good soldier and, unless
we are deceived, will make good cit
izen.
A. X. Riley, of Harlan, Iowa, a lead
ing real estate man of Shelby county
Iowa, has been stopping a few days as
the guest of Mr. Morse, Cashier of the
Phillips County Bank, and through
whom we learn he has made several in
vestments in Phillips county farms, ne
being delighted with our magnificent
crops and fine country. We hope his
investments may prove all that he could
wish.
Last Saturday, in company with j.
B. Woods, we visited our sister town of
Marvin, and found the merchants all
jubilan. over the splendid crop pros
poets. Marvin has four general stores
two drug stores, one restaurant, one
hardware store, one blacksmith shop,
one hotel and two livery stables. This
is 8 nice little town and is inhabited by
as intelligent and law abiding citizens
as can be found in Northwest Kansas.
G. A. Spaulding is as yet the only
person who has publicly announced
himself candidate for Clerk of the
District Court. We think this is as it
should be, as in the history of the older
counties IN the state it is customary
when q Clerk of the Court meets all
the requirements, as Mr., Spaulding does,
to retain him for number of years. as
the Office is one that requires a great
deal of practical experience. Mr..
Spaulding's official record is good and
his books are an honor to him, and to
Phillips county.

3Sth District, held at Oberlin last Tues
