COLLIER, KAN, Oct. 20, 1886 400-3t
Only pity can be felt for one who
would so far forget his manhood as to
neglect to invite brother minister to his
side upon the platform. It was not only
q violation of civil and religious etiquet,
but also of the universal practices in
Congregational churches.
From present indications there will be
good crops next wear, as the snow has
ground, while yet in an unfrozen con-
dition. Many farmers, however, have
failed to plant either wheat or rye, ex-
pecting warm rain, which would give
them better opportunity.
Snow fell here almost continuously
last Thursday, the wind blew severely
from the north, and together, formed a
blizzard which made it impossible to see
the roads. Drifts from two to six inches
deep were the results. The clouds cleared
away during the evening, and the follow
ing day was bright and cold, the sun in
few instances melting the snow into
little rivulets.
Fresh pork sausage at Siebert's mar

Purchases of locations were made last
Thursday by different parties for two
drug stores, and each transaction was
made in ignorance of the other. DR.. |
league has secured the lease of the site |
formerly occupied by the original land
Office, and will put up store 20x30 feet.
The other purchaser was Mr.. Fike, of
Buffalo Park and Quinter, who expects to
move his store from the latter place to
lot south Of the Post and Corps hall.
One fact was quite evident last Friday |
evening, j. e., that if the Post and Corps
hall is to be of much benefit to its own
ers this winter, it will need furnishing.
A gentleman in this community has offer
ed to contribute toward the completion
of the hall, if in addition to the furnish
ing of the interior, it will be seated and
let to the public, on the terms now made.
As it is the only hall convenient to the
center of the town, quite an income
might be had from such rents.
Who could have thought that western
Kansas could receive such storm as
yesterdays, in November? The sunset
Monday did not indicate an approaching
blizzard. yet before dawn Tuesday morn
ing, tiny balls of snow began to fall,
which increased in size and moisture and
were blown with intense force into and
through every crack and crevice, surpass-
ing in that particular even the billiards.
OF last winter. It was impossible to see
more than few yards distant when out
Of the wind, and to face about to the
north caused an instant dropping of eye
lids. A passenger train was DELAYED here
many hours, and no doubt there have
