What the Local Press Have SAID the
Past Week.
GENERAL Ne W.S ITEMS.

! Rockville Glo6e-
The Horshsnoe lake is thronged
with nlanipulators Of the rod and line.
| The farmers in the vicinity OF
Rockville pronounce the wheat out
look this spring as very fine.
1t is probably not generally known
throughout the surrounding country
| that Rockville has organized an Anti
Horse Thief Association, This So
cIety should receive the encourage
ment of our people; especially those
who own fine stock.
The County Court finally, after
our township officers again lald the
matter before them this week, appro-
priated $50 tor the shaw branch
bridge. and the Bridge Commissioner
of the county will be down soon to
investigate the matter, and it is safe
to say now that ere long we will have
good bridge over that stream.
Sealed bids will be let in short
time at Rockville for the construc-
ton of the bridge.
The '.grasshopper train that
passed through this place last Mon
day morning at $50 attracted con-
siderable attention by the artistic
manner in which It was decorated.
The tram consisted of : cars twenty
four loaded with corn and one loaded
with flour. This train was gotten up
bv the generous people of Butler
county, Kansas. and sent as dona
ton to the food sufferers from along
the Ohio river The tram was in
charge Of 4 commigee chosen by the
county central committee on arrange
nents and donation.
Rich IIi7I Re7ierv,
The peach crop SO tar as we can
learn will be aimott total failure i n
this section OF tnc country. IOS-
poets tor apples and cherries are
good. Small fruits will doubtless be
abundant.
A dead infant was buried IN the
brIckvard or vicinity, one day last
week by some unknown party, and
afterwards taken up. 1t is supposed
to have been premature and illeglti-
mate.
Il dyian 4dueytiser.
Four brick buildings will be COM
menced IN a few weeks.
Farmers all consider the wheat
prospect the best eyer seen in this
county. 1t is fine for a tact.
From all indications the new Jail
proposition will carry by very large
majority in this part OF the county.
G. L. Mills has sold his stock in
the Walnut bank at par. He is
lucky. A good many more caught
in the Walnut swindle would be glad
to sell at par.
Remember that the election to de-
eide on building new Jail will be
held on April 2ott. and that Adrian
is the place where citizens OF d eer
Creek will hereafter do their vot, ng.
There seems to be quite a senti-
ment in favor of organizing Adrian
as a city of the fourth class. We are
inclined to believe that the propose
ton will carry if submitted to vote
Those interested i'll Walnut and
the Emporia railroad pretended to be
ANXIOUS to keep down all excitement

sis;ing, as il did, OF solos, duets, and chO-

realized from the assets, and every debtor
making a composition shall pay one-half OF
per cent. on the amount OF such compost
tion.
Any person owing debts exceeding $500
and unable 10 pay, may by petition, apply
10 be adiudicated bankrupt, and the

estate at the request Of his trustee. and the
usual fees when attending as 4 witness.
The Richmond Chamber OF Commerce
have repeatedly had this bill under con-
sideration. but they never endorsed it
first, because there was no general demand
fora bankruptcy law; second, because they
were not assured that II the bill were
passed the administration Of it would be
in good hands. The memory OF the old
bankruptcy days is still with us.
Judge Bond is to appoint the commits
sioners in bankruptcy for Virginia and
several other southern States.
The bill has not yet passed the lower
house of Congress, and will there meet
with great opposition, especially from
southern members.
