across the prairie five minutes ad-
mirin9 the beauties of nature until
he steps into bunch of cactus, and

There was meeting of ma
jority OF the town company, Tues
day. There was nothing of interest
to the public, considered by them,
except the passing of a resolution to
do everything in the ir power to
have the land cffice located north of
the railroad.
Mr. Ed. Brown, of Winterset,
Iowa, who has been in town the past
two weeks crossed the plains and
travelled up this valley where now
stands Lamar twenty-seven years
ago He little thought then of ever
seeing railroad and town in this
part of the country.
The literary entertainments,
Wednesday evenings, are becoming
more int eresting each week, and
will add much TO our social enjoy
ments the coming winter. Great
credit is due the ladies who have ta-
ken such an active part in making
the entertainments so socially aud
otherwise pleasant.
y Some of our people continue to
mail letters on the trains. Now that
We have post office that has been
fitted up at considerable expense to
Mr.. Decker, aud a much better office
than is usually found in town of
this size. it would only show our APP

want this made a money order Office
and all the advantages post office
c;n give us, and these things can on.
