OWED" TO OUR GIRLS.
nv oznorr TINE roaMEn noys.


Written for Tue MEssES0ER.l
oh. sacred Muse on thee call
To visit this terrestrial ball,
To leave thy elevated sphere
AD}<cek thy humble servant here.
.ESwords Of pen. no words Of tongue.
TzSo matter by what poet sung,
Could merit give or worth best0w
That would surpass the truth, we know;
For all the brooks and gentle rills,
The valleys and the distant hills,
And every whistling wind that whirls.
All sing the praises OF our girls.
Just why It's so we cannot tell,
Yet It's a truth we know full well,
That over all this vast domain
From Eastern coast 10 Western plain
The Snow Fill girls possess fame
That rivals ancient JunO's name,
And lovers, even from distant land,
Have vainly sought their heart and hand
The days OF Chivalry are DER;
The clashing steel Is heard no more.
The armored knight no longer stir
The maiden's heart by feat OF spur.
And now in this prosaic day,
Since all those things have passed away
We. too. must follow with the time
And sing their praise in modern rhyme
Oh, dearest girls but ah fear
My sacred Muse has failed TO hear,
Alas cannot now proceed
Just take the will, girls, for the deed.

FALL AND WINTER
SEASON.

We now have the pleasure
Of announcing our Fall Open
ing Of Dry Goods. Notions,
Carpets, Furniture, &c. We
wish the people Of our county
to know something OF our i'm
mense stock. and we invite
every body to visit our En-
porium. We have no desire
to interfere with home trade
anywhere-it is all right to
patronize your own stores, as
far as you can, but it is well
known that it will not pay
every merchant to carry such
an ASSORTMENT as is found at
our Stores, and many persons
have to send away for goods
which they cannot obtain at
home. 1t is this class Of trade
that we are specially seeking
and we are persuaded that
there is no house on the Pen
insula where the wants of the
people are more fully met or
their interests more carefully
guarded. With such an estab-
lishmcnt, therefore. in your
midst, docs it not merit the
support OF the people, and is
it not to their interest to sus-
tain it ? Our business has
been steadily growing and we
see no reason why it should
not reach much greater pro-
portions. We would be pleas
ed to have you come and see
us and We will take pleasure
in showing you through our
stores, and OF course would
be pleased 10 sell You, but
will not press YOU to udly. II
not convenient to come in

nitcly as you can and we will

taste in the selection, and give
you lowest cash prices, the
same as il you were present.
In ordering samples please
state what is wanted, in ma

The Guaranty Fund Life Insurance CON-
pany of Wichita having been duly organ
lied under the laws of the state, and
obtained over quarter OF a million OF
insurance among the business men in
Wichita, has pushed its membership into
more than thirty cities and villages in this
state already, The enterprisins managers
together with the excellent plan of in>ur-
ance presented by them TO the public will
very soon place this company among the
solid, progressive life insurance companies
of this country. They wrote over $4,000
of insurance in one comfy alone in the
month OF April, with prospects OF much
larger business in the month of MAY. They
are rapidly increasing the age:cy business,
and have written more insurance since
their organization than any other insur-
ance company ever did in the same length
of time, and that too in times which have
not been the most favorable 10 a large
business of any kind. This plan meets
the wants of large number of people
who have become tired of paving for
cheap assessment insurance which has no
guarantee for the future. and also the
large premiums which soon become so
burdensome that they are Obliged 20 drop.
while they are becoming educated 20 the
fact that this cost is unnecessary for the
protection they receive. dl47-it

Mr.. II. Z. Bidwell, of Valley Center,
yesterday showed Us sample of silk
fabric that was woven upon loom in

Kansas product, of Usage orange leaves
The fabric, while not as smooth as the
product of old mills in the east, yet clear
IL demonstrates what may be done in
that industry right in Qua midst. The
Miller loom will be improved upon until
it will be capable of producing the finest
fabrics, and this cannot fail TO give a
stimulous TO silk culture in Kansas. 1t
has been clearly demonstrated and is no
longer debatable question that silk can
be successfully produced here, and that
it can be made one of the most profitable
industries among the farming comnluni-
" is no more doubtful.
