ANTHONY, Hans, July G, 1885.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
Since Anthony has donned tn cmantel of a
city of the second class, every interest
seems to be revived. The building goes on
with renewed energy.
Seventeen large brick buildings on Main
street are under contract and in course of
construction.
There will soon be three national banks
in Anthony and two new bank buildings.
The two new bank buildings will be as fine
AS any in the state.
It is a noteworthy fact that of the many
towns in Kansas which have had almost
marvellous growth, in consequence of the
unprecedented emigration to the Sunfower
state, there is none in their infancy puts up
such substantial buildings, none which the
land marks indicate more clearly that the
people have come TO stay, none where the
lintels are SO indelibly marked with pros
perity-
The town Of Anthony will, on the 9TH of
this month. choose a number of her citizens
as the pioneer trustees of the interest of the
town as a city of the second class. The
coming election for this purpose is the per-
vading topic of interest. The mayorality
will be warmly contested. The aspirants
for tn Office is the present incumbent, Sam
uel Adams, who has been presiding over the
councils of a city of the third class, given
good satisfaction, and whose corpulent form
and cheerful countenance places him firmly
in the hearts of a goodly number Of the cit
liens. Ills opponent Is DR.. Il. c. Hull, the
beloved physician, who healed the sick and
dressed the wounds of the citizens in the
days of Anthony's stern and bitter struggles,
in the primeval days of her existence before
she was even city of the third class. The
doctor has many friends and the victor, who
ever he may be, will know when the fight is
over that he has a foeman worthy of his
steel.
The next important office will be police
Judge. The candidates are Messers. A. G.
Richardson, Esq, and Judge Waters. Mr..
Richardson is rising young attorney of
dignity and decorum, and his frank man
ners. his afiable and generous character have
made him many friends who will support
him advantageously on Tuesday next
Judge Waters is more silvercd by the snow
of ages than his opponent, and doubtless
many will consider age before beauty in the
coming contest, and should the contest be
desidcd in favor of the afiable judge, with
spsrcely covered head and mustache dark and
stiff from the effects of nitrate of silver, the
people will greet him cordially upon his
success and render him earnest support in
the discharge of the arduous duties of his
office.
I. A. Nofizger,a young attorney from
the hoozier state, (Republicanl and Geo.
Stevens are the candidates for justice of the
peace. Noftzger may have the advantage
in learning but Stevens has the essential
qualification of justice in corpulency.
Either would make good officers, but who
knows the fate of politics or who can tell
before the board hands in the count who the
people have voted for.
The first train since last Tuesday arrived
over the Sunhower road July 4th about .
p. m.
o. J. Silverhorn, the venerable real estate
agent, together with his estimable lady and
son, arrived from their former home in Iowa
Sabbath morning. July 3rd, about o'clock
a. m. Mr.. Silverhorn has been in Iowa
representing the advantages Of Anthony and
Harper counties, and soon a large number
of his friends and neighbors will be here to
purchase land and become actual settlers in
and about Anthony.
Anthony had a quie: and pleasant Fourth,
the only unplessantness was the extreme
hea; of the day and many of the citizens
sought relief in close proximity 10 an ice
