The entertainment given by Mr.. Paul
Williams for the benefit OF his school was
grand success. There was large at
tendance. Everybody present enjoyed
the program and those who failed to
attend missed one of the most interesting
entertainments ever held in this part of
the country. The program consisted of
about forty Rotations, songs and dia-
logues. The chair was occupied by MIR.
Glover. Mr.. Williams recited with good
effect The mouse in the pants Leg" and
The story of the tramp" The scholars
all recited their pieces in manner that
the young folks enjoyed and their parents
appreciated. Some cxcellant recitations
were given by Misses. Angler and Kirby
and Mrs. Kirby and others. Music and
singing were furnished by William and
Arthur Morden, Fred Fisher and the
Missrs Kirby. Among the many dia-
logues of the evening there was one acted
in which wife accuses her husband of
reading and.telliEg too many short stories
Among others he told the following after
his wife gave him tongue thrashing
one day. A certain philosopher explain
ing the reason why women don't grow
boards, says they can't hold their tongues
long enough to be shaved. The enter
tainlnent reflected much credit upon
Mr.. Williams, the energetic teacher, as
well as showing that Cavalier has no lack
of talent for such entertainments.

Thos. Kirby.

The above named gentleman is the
man whom the REFLECTOR took much
pleasure in bringing before its readers
last week as a candidate for congress
sional honOrs on the democratic ticket
from this district, and it is with great
satisfaction that we know our SuggeS,
ton has proven satisfactory, not
only to our readers, but also to many
republicans who have expressed them
selves to us as being in hearty accord
In having Tom run, believing, swe do,
that his chances for election, if nom
tied, are indeed good.
Between Anderson and Wilson Mr.
Kirby would make grand compromise,
for there are hundreds of dissatisfied
republicans in the district who would
be pleased to have a chance to vote for
such man, knowing him to be perfect
ly in accord with all the issues pertain
ing to the interests Of the farmer and
laboring man.
And while his democracy cannot be
questioned, yet he is liberal, and besides
being young man, about So years old,
he is possessed of more than ordinary
ability, and his energy and will force
are characteristic.
As public and business man his rec
OHd is clear, and to show his popularity
N Dickinson county, which is republic
ssn by about 1000 majority, he was
elected County Treasurer in 1882 by
over 400 and in 1884 was reelected by
over 1000 majority.
4 stronger and better posted man in
the district could not be found and the
REFLECTOR would urge his nomination
at the Clay Center Convention which
meets Sept 1st.
The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1886-08-26

vens. For the next five years he was
engaged in farming in his native state,
and in 1877 he brought his family, con-
sisting at that time of wife and one
child, to Dickinson county, Kansas,
locating in Newbern township, five
miles south of Abilene, where he pur
chased 800 acres of land, to which he
nc ri->oo added 240 acres more.
81. kOrn was very industrious man
and worked earnestly to improve his
home, in which he has been very sue
cessful. but just as he was completing
one of the best houses in the county
he is called to that ''hOuse not made
with hands eternal in the Heavens"
1t is sad to think that just as man
becomes comfortably situated ON earth
he passes away. and yet how pleasant
to reflect that all the comforts of earth
are not to be compared to the bliss of
the eternal world. Let us believe that
| He who hath made all things knOweth
best, and while we cannot realize why
we are thus bereft of a useful citizen, a
good neighbOr, kind brother, loving
father and true, devoted husband, we
may believe that our loss is his gain,
and while his body lies in the Abilene
cemetery, Adam lives in world where
sickness, sorrow and death cannot
enter, and shall we not try to SO live
that when our bodies are consigned to
the grave it may be said of us as it can
truthfuly said of him, He endeavOred
to do unto others as he would have
| them do unto him."
The funeral sermon was preached at
the home of the deceased last Sunday
morning, by Bishop Engle, after which
the remains. followed by hundreds OF
friends, was borne to its resting place
i'll the Abilene cemetery.
He leaves three brothers, three sis
tiers, an aged father, a wife and five
children, the Oldest twelve years and
the youngest four weeks old. Some OF
these children cannot appreciate theil
great loss, but no words can describe
the feelings of that sOrrOw-StrickeI
mother, upon whom more than all 9th.
erS, this great affection has fallen. Ii
her youth she gave her affections to {
man who, for the past fourteen years
has been her protection. She rejoiceG
with him in prosperity, and upon his
strong arm she could lean in adversely
How gladly would friends alleviate hel
sufferings if they could. God has said
Il will be father to the orphan and g
husband to the widow"

affection.
Many are anxious to know who the
teachers will be in our schools. No
doubt the director will exercise judg-
meat and care in his selection of those
persons who are to fill these important
places. The director is competent and
himself a scholar, and he will endeavor
to examine and know whether the ap-
plicants are capable of filling the places
applied for with ability and sound
judgment.

Mr.. Kirby was elected treasurer IN ~

means between local stations and is a
reduction for Abilene of one cent The
reduction for Abilene on wheat is one
anu half cent and for corn enc cent
per 100 pounds; ora reduction per bus'h-
ell of nine tenths of cent on wheat and
little over one half cent on corn. This
is very small reduction but every lit

not be long before we have north and

A Word to Our Patrons.

With this number the REFLECTOR
has been published three years and 1t is
with satisfaction and pleasure that we
can say the voyage has been pleas
ant and successful one. And while we
return thanks for the patronage given
us we would ask a continuation OF the
same and also a kind word from its
friends in behalf of extending the cir
culation of the REFLECTOR, for as we
have in the past we will in the future
spare no pains to make it the leading
paper in the county.
But in closing we would say we have
never requested any of our subscribers
to pay in advance, but on the contrary
have told them to pay us when they
could spare the money. Now lcc are IA
need of all that is due us and kindly and
respectfully ask our old patrons and
friends who may be in arrears for one,
two or three years, that a dollar and a
half, three dollars or four dollars and a
half (but of the latter we are glad to say
there are not very many from each OF
them that owe us for the REFLECTOR
will be taken not only as our just dues
but as favor that will not soon be for
gotten. Gentlemen, please call and
pay up.

was taken seriously i'll last Wednesday

summons.
Mr.. KOrn was born February 10.

younger days on his fathers farm. re-
ceived liberal education at Rochester
College, and on the 9TH of November.
