Nursery Stock.

Among the reputable and growing
Industries of the country, and one to
whom the entire farming community
are deeply indebted, must be classified
the nursery, or tree culture industry.
No man possessing ever SO small a
piece of ground can afford to let il re-
main barren of trees. Nothing adds so
much to the value of a farm or city lot
as u well assorted and beautiful orchard
and forest.
The reporter of this paper was led to
this reflection by observing the large
number of well packed orders heeled
out on Main street by the Blair Bros,
Of Lees Summit, Mo. AS producers of
nursery stock they enjoy wide reputa-
ton. The writer has familiariZed him
self with the character of one and two
year-old stock. and must here admit
that the vicinity of Lees Summit has
the reputation of producing a tree at
two-years old that eXcels any three
year-Old tree produced elsewhere. Why
this difference. is beyond the knowledge
of the writer-yet it is a notable fact.
Let anyone examine the stock deliv-
cred by any other nurseries and COM
pare them. Without doubt he will
readily see the difference. 1t is indeed
complimentary to the good judgment
of our farming community that they
select such thrifty, fine looking trees
and shrubs as this nursery is now de-
livering. If they are so successful in
making so large a delivery this fall,
what may we expect when their can
vasSers commence work for their spring
delivery, which they will do in a few
days, and the Herald is satified they
can do 70 better than place their orders
in the hands of the agents of Lees
Summit nursery.
In this connection it is but justice to
state that the Kansas Farmer, paper
devoted to the interests of the farmer.
speaks in excellent tones of the above
named nursery, and unqualifiedly
tender to them the palm of praise, as
the producers of the best nursery stock
in the country. Another instance.
showing to what extent the stock of
this company is appreciated. is that
when the commissioners of Sumner
county sent a committee of gentlemen
with discretionary powers to visit each
nursery and select the trees for the
court house square, they went To Lee
Summit, Mo-. and selected OIL the
grounds such stock as they deemed the
finest in the west. each of the commit
tee expressing establishment at the
magnitude and magnificence of the
nursery grounds. So much surprised
were they at the appearance of the
stock that they closed the contract at
once, and would go no further
Anthony Herald.
We can subscribe 10 every line of the
above and state that the representa-
tives of this nursery are now here, can
wasting for their spring delivery, and
our people should take advantage of
the occasion to order what nursery
stock they need.

appears that Mckinney, who is a
deputy |. 5. Marshal, went ont there
last week to arrest Hal. Mcclure. who
is charged with taking a pair of mules
from some one in Wyoming Territory
last year, a reward of $500 having been
offered for his arrest. Accompanied
by Barney O'Connor, Mckinney was
returning to Lakin with his prisoner.
O'ConnOr was sitting in the middle
driving, Mcclure being on one side and
Mckinney on the other. Mcclure
slipped pistol from O'COnnor's pocket
and had it pointed at McKinney's head.
when O'Connor threw up his arm and
received the ball in his left arm, near
the shoulder, thus saving McKinney's
life. Mcclure did not get away, and
was taken to Lakin and started from
there TO Wyoming.

feet high. We are safe, then, and the
