The Oldest Settler Again.

Mrs. @. G. Cox, of Ellis, was in town
last Monday on business, and paid this
Office subscription call. In the course
of talk about the country, Mrs. Cox
mentioned having called on the WORLD
more than five years ago. She also revived
the claim which she then made, that she
and her family are the oldest settlers in
Trego county. On their now beautiful
place, in this county, four miles this side
of Ellis, they settled twelve years ago
last August. Members Of various Indian
tribes visited their place with great
frequency in those days, but never did
any damage beyond stealing to some
extent Mr.. Cox has been dead for years,
but Mrs. Cox is well situated in the matter
of property, and she does not seem to
regret her many sacrifices in maintaining
a residence on the frontier.

er and HSndsomer Man.

Many WORLD readers will remember
the parties to the following divorce suit
The item is taken from the Chicago
Ezening Ne0s of April 10:
A smooth-shaven man of 40 or So with
a blood-red necktie and slate-colored
spring overcoat, took the stand as prin-
cipal witness in the divorce suit of Martin
Brockway against Emily j. Brockway,
nee Eastman. Mr. Brockway said he
married her in October. 1874, at North
Troy, Me-, and went with her afterward to
Kansas, finally to Dakota: Although Mr..
Brockway had more the appearance of
dude, he said he was large farmer. It
also turned out that Mrs. b, who was
young and pretty, and the second wife of
the witness, had fallen in love with Mr..
Gilman, of Pingree, D. T., and lived with
him up to the present, having left her
husband and refused to return to him.
Judge Gardner gave decree.

CANDIDATES for judge of this
judicial district are said to be developing
thickly. L. T. Pratt, of Norton, seems to
be more plainly perceived just now than
any of the others. Judge Pratt will not
consent to be candidate for reelection,
and this fact makes It uncertain whom
tho WORLD would rather see capture the
Radical nomination. We are not even
discussing the matter. It is too early for
this.

VIM. Lawrence, of Wa-Keeney, was
hsre to-day. He called at the Pioneer
Office in search of a Democratic newspaper,
which he got, the Mississippi State Ledger.
He says he would rejoice to see one Dem
ocratic newspaper start and live in
Kansas. He stated that he was looking
for horse, which had strayed of; but he
became so enthused over the Mississippi
State Ledger that he said very little Of
the horse, and we are unable to say what
color the horse was. Come, VIM, you
are little premature on politics
