A CONFESSION.

The Chicago Times, having done
what it could TO turn the country
over TO Confederate rule, now turns
around and gives its friends the fol-
lowing blast:
"The Confederate states are dead :"
said the Senator from Missouri. For
that the country is profoundly thank
ful. But many Of the politicians
whose treason gave birth to that of
spring of falsehood and crime are still
alive, and still cherish the ideas and
feelings thar characterizes The Con-
federacy. For that the country is not
thankful. Because The presence of
such characters in our political life rs
an evil that keeps alive feeling and
.animosities of war; 10 the hindrance
of the evolufiobs of better and
worthier national character. The SUI
pretne need of The country is new
generation of statesmen. which can
only appear when The old generation
of the treason period has passed away.
The political senator from Missouri
said of the old soldiers who lost thrir
lives fighting the battles of the politi-
ciane:
1.-THE knights are dust,
Their swords are rust,
Their souis are with their God, we trust.
If that could be said OF the political
and traitors who set on
the poor soldiers TO cut each others
throats, but keeping themselves at a
safe distance from the carnage, lived
10 fight over again the war, twenty
wears after its conclusion, in the same
senate chamber where the conspira-
tors initiated it, the nation would
have cause TO rejoice. The death
of Mr.. Jefierso, Davis would be
a public blessing. The dissolution
into '.the infinite azure of the past"
of every senator, representative, and
politician who participated IN the trea-
son and rebellion that Mr., jefferson
Davis led, and has brought down the
ideas and feelings of that epoch to the
present time, would be an occasion tor
thanksgiving TO the supreme
ruler of the world; because it would |
be the nations sure guarantee of |
new generation of Statesmen that |
would not be dominated by the ideas,
feeling aud experiences of the state
sovereignty treason. |

GODDARD, KAs., Jan. %, 1885.


GODDARD, KAs., Jan. %, 1885.
To the Kiisor of the Edgis:
In perusing the pages of your weekly pa
per and comparing the notes of the cores
pondents from the different "valley cities"
in the light of literary merit, moral tore,
and general business value to their respect
i've towns, am compelled to say of "God-
dard Grist:" Thou art weighed in the bal
ances, and art found wanting.
About once month the musty wheels of
thought disengage themselves from the cob
webs Of inertncss, and, with seeming great
labor, grind out mixture known as the
Goddard Grist." Now we know something
about small grists, and unpalatable bread;
but Of all the light grists, and worthless lit
erary food, commend us to the Goddard
Grist" Of January 23d, 1885.
In digesting the above named ''Grist" we
were we not somewhat acquainted with the
town, would be forced to this conclusion,
that either Goddard is an insignificant way
station on the Wichita & Western, with one
billiard saloon filed with loafers, one board
ing house filed with ghosts, and the streets
filed with wild men; or the writer is engaged
in extracting the juice of sod-corn, and sub
sisting mainly upon the same. His mental
calibre has sunk far below par, and hence
does not see or understand the grand posi-
bilities Of human life, or possess even the
first element that should characterize the
'knight of the quill" We favor the latter,
for Goddard is wide-awake thorough
going business city Of the third-class, with
good church and school privileges, and a
frst-class literary society. She has a popu-
lation of about 800, with most all branches
of business represented; yet there are good
openings here for good mill, dry goods
store, an Ice house, and good correspond
ent to the EAGLE. CRITIC.

In numherless bulbs beneath the skin
is secreted the substance which gives the
hair its texture, color and gloss. When
this secretion stops, the hair begins at
once to become dry, lustreless, brittle
and gray, Is that the condition of your
hair? Ifso, apply Parker's Hair Bal

gloss and life by renewing the action of

oats. Some corn was broken off and

Barley is mostly cut; the damage to
this crop will be bleaching. probably.
Hay, or grass for hay, received the great

runs in many instances will be nearly
worthless. Rubber boots did good
service after the storm in gathering
grain and hay in water from inches to
