The writer was travelling one day
in July, with a young daughter seated
alongside in the car. Nearby were
three older girls, old enough to be
called young ladies', but whose loud
and slangy speech denied them the
right to be so titled. They would
whisper to each other suggestively,
then laugh boisterously, the while
glancing imrudently at gentlemen
opposite. Finally, to the relief Of
their more modest fellow passengers.

Pritchard DOdges Gudger.
AsheYille Citizen.

From all we have beard of the lint
canvass between Messrs. Pritchard
and III. A. Gudger. We were satisfied
that Mr.. Plitchard was badly used up
at every meeting; but knowing his
skin to be thick, we thought he would
stick it out and meet MIR. Gudger
through his appointments, aud not
actually run away from him. This he
has done. He failed to meet Mr.. G.
at his (Pfitchards) own appoint
ments last week, both OF Polk and
Brevard, but leaves to fill appoint
ments east of the mountains, without
| .ting Mr.. Gudger know where they
are to begin. He sent Mr.. q. word
he would leave for these appoint
ments, but, strange 10 say, he failed
10 give further information. Nor can
Mr.. Gudser fad out where he is. Is
this not strange, also? The truth is
Mr. Pritchlrd could not stand the
pressure any longer. Mr.. Gudger's
exposure OF him, and the party
which Mr.. P. represents, were toe
much for him. Mr. G. has only left
enthusiasm for Democracy wherever
he has spoken. Mr.. P. has left hi
party friends very "tiref' of him anC
the cause he so feebly repre- e'ents-
when confronted by Mr.. Gudger

The Lamat Republican Club met
at the A. o. U. W., hall Monday
night and while the attendance was
not as large as it should have been,
what was lacking in numbers was
made up in enthusiasm. There was
no business out of the ordinary
transacted, but discussion relative
to the work to be done in the pre-
rinct and county this fall was full cf
interest and brought out many good
suggestions. Tie club favored
thorough organization and Jealous
work, and how to accomplish the
most good was the topIc of til.
evening. We are pleased to see how
hearty the members take hold of the
work 50 early in the year, and it was
a pleasure to all present to hear tn.
expressions of confidence in the sue
cess of the republican party in the
coming National struggle. The
meeting of Monday night thought it
not best to hold regular weekly meet

IsTER and We hope every republican
will not only consider it dnty but
pleasure to turn ont and assi.t in

Prof Z. ii. Shelton. in his Bulletin

sthat for several years experiments with
wheat have been in progress at the
college farm, having for their object y
to show the comparative values OF COM

ABOUT GRAPE CULTURE.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
The large quantities of grapes now for
sale on the streets imported from the
east brings the thought that it is a
strange thing to do when this most ex-
cellent of all fruit can be SO easily raised
right here. From some careful observa-
tons during the fall, the writer has
learned beyond doubt the re is no bet
ter soil or climate known for the sue
cessful growth of grapes, especially, tina n
in southern Kansas and right in the city
of Wichita There is no valid reason
why every owner of lot in the CITY
with foot of ground uncovered bv his
buildings, should not have an abundance
of this fruit every year for little or no
expense.
A vine planted beside porch viii in a
year or two, make d beautiful covering
for the porch 10 protect it from the mid
day sun, and will climb and run any dis
lance allowed, and little taste and care
displayed in training and pruning 1t will
more than repay the labor, and the fruit

gladden. the whole household.
The writer we'll remembers
the old Concord vine that covered an
eastern porch at the Old homestead in the
east. Ii had not only covered the porh
front. but had gone on around the house
in both directions until its extremes We're
rapidly approaching each other ON the
opposite side.
A careful estimate of the fruit 1t bore
annually was often placed at 509 pounds.
and it never failed Of a crop after it came
to bearing. 4 curious fact was also no
ticeabIe, which was that the fruit far
thest from the body OF the vine was
alwas the finest and riPened a week
or more before that nearer.
Many time have we picked five bush
els fully fifty feet feet from the root.
Let us not only suggest but urge those
who have not given attention To this
seemingly trivial matter already to delay
no longer but plant now. this fall, az
leaf one vine ana as many more as yeu

THE WINNERS.

more SO, that the farmers enter into hog
raising on large scale as that packing
house should have ever been built in the
city of Wichita, for how can packing
houses profit Wichita or southwestern
Kansas unless we can supply their
wants.
think that every farmer will agree
with me when l make the assertion Inn

In some of the acorn precints Of old Mis-
souri, or lngeana) that there Is no better
prettler country to grow hogs III
than Kansas. AS for corn we
have an abundance and no
industry is SO encouraging to oldtime
hog raiserS as is the creamery business.
for the farmer can milk his cows, haul
his milk to the factory and sell it for,
say, seventy-five cents per hundred
pounds, and take back home enough
sour milk and whey at one cent gallon
to raise your calves IN fine shape and
fatten your hogs too. Furthermore, it
does away with this cry OF hard times,
and gives to each man who Is interested,
money to pay his grocery bills at the end
of each week, and that of itself Is enough
to prove that the industry is what we
need. for any man that knows anything
ought to know that a grocery merchant
can't pay his cash money for groceries
and then turn round ami sell
them to the farmer he carries a
year, as cheaply as he can to the one
who pays him the cash every week or
month, that we all will concede. We
can reason this thing like this: for in
stance, Mr.. A. is a merchant and is SELL
ing b. and c. their sugar for family use.
Mr.. B. buys for cash. while Mr.. G. is a
ticker. Well, the consequences are like
this, or at least they should be, for | am
one who believes IN the man who has
worked hard for his money getting the
use OF it, that MIR. c.. will either get a
little less sugar for a dollar Or he will
pay little more for it, for common
sense teaches us that man must have
more for the use of his money twelve
months than for one month. B. d. z.

have interviewed Mr. c. Lambert in
regard to the Cheney creamery plant,
and he informs me that the building will
be completed and all machinery IN it
ready for business by the 10th of this
month (November). Mr.. Lambert is the
builder of creameries for Davis & Baukin,
Of Chicago and has built many buildings
for said firm, but he says none of them
excel the one which is now nearing COM
pletion in the progressive little city OF
Cheney. In the building none but first
class material has been used and all
one has to do to be convinced of
the fact IS just to visit the building
and closely observe the material and
work. The building twenty-eight by
forty feet with fine projecting porch
for milk receiving. Mr.. Lambert says
he has not built a creamery building
anywhere for this firm that the sur
roundings were SO good as they are IN
Cheney. And we know, too, that Che
new Is in the midst OF as good set OF
farmers as there Is in the state and they
have made up their minds that they Will
not act as heretofore, but will leave
nothing untufned that Will add to the
creamery industry iii the town of
Cheney.
believe the farmers have started into
this to make il win and there is only one
question in the whole matter and why
not, advance in the right direction.
And now comes the question, and let
every farmer ask himself that question:
How many of US are making sufficient
arrangements to make this creamery
plant pay us a handsome profit ON the
money which we have invested In it:
| was at Mr. Charles Wolfe's place one
dav this week. and he has an excellent
cow stable all ready built, with room
for something like twenty head OF cows,
and has been milking his COWS in his
cow barn for several days, and tells US
that almost every cow knows its place,
and he proposes to be ready for business
when the whistle blows. Dir. Wolf
lives two and half miles southeast of
Cheney. and viii have something Hear

quarter section of land further he has
sown fifty-five acres of wheat early and
it IS now up looking fine and Mr.. Wolf
intends turning his cows upon the wheat
Just so soon as he gets his corn gathered
as his wheat is very rank.
Now, farmers, this | consider an ex-
ample worthy OF following, and one
