some members Of the board The facts
ought 10 serve as a trite lesson TO those
who are continually grumbling about

The young people had a very nice
social time last week Tuesday evening.
The farmers in this vicinity have be-
gun to pillow for corn, oats and barley.
The people here are quite disappoint-
ed over the action of the commissioners
in regard to feed and see2,. 1t is i'm
possible for US to put out a crop with
out feed for our teams and seed to SOW,
and We do not sec why the merchants
OF Dodge City cannot furnish it to
farrers, as cell as the towns Of Fonda
and Ford. The farmers do not ask it
for charity; they are willing to pay,
but ask years time, or until they can
raise crop; but there is not firm in
Dodge that will trust US for feed OF
seed. Now you cannot boom Dodge
successfully and the country make a
failure. If Dodge will not aid us, we
will not help her any more than we can
help, but will do our trading where
they will accommodate US. We can do
without Dodge as we'll as she can do
without us. r.
