Sh-whiz-bang a couple of fire
crackers procured for the occasion, an
nounced the opening of the much talked
of jolification meeting of the republicans.
A martial band consisting of fife snare
drum and boy beating bass drum,
fired the enthusiasm of the small number
of boys and men following the music.
After this procession had marched through
the street, without gaining in strength.
it repaired to the vacant lots south of the
railroad, where a barrel surmounted by
box had been made ready. as a sacri-
fee to the great victory. With due pomp
the barrel and box were ignited and as
the flames were rather diminutive in size,
Mike Sutton was called in to try and
rouse the dormant enthusiasm. Mr. SUIT
ton made very neat little speech and
succeeded in calling forth a few cheers.
Gates, of Speareville. was next called for
and nobly responded. The main part OF
Mr. Gates speech was devoted to the
Mormon question. Some small boys be-
gan firing crackers up the street and as
the crowd could not see the relations
existing between Brigham Young and
the election of Ben Harrison, the rival
run by the small boys finally
won the day and Gates sat down. This
ended the festivities.

Mic Mayrath. who has So long supplied
the city with vegetables that were the
surprise and nj the same time reproach,
to those who were skeptical regarding
Kansas soil and seasons, has the follow
| ing to say regarding crops and seasons:
Farmers can make a success of raising
CATTLE nd horses alone. Some are a
little dubious about raising Indian corn.
| will leave that out OF the question, for
we can raise feed outside of this with
which to fatten hogs. katfir corn. milo
maize. sugar cane. black-eyed beans. all
are good sure crops and will fatten hogs.
ANY of these can be fed all winter, as the
stalk alone retains its strength for a re
markably long tine. Water melons and
the like make feed during three or four
months of the year, when given with
other feed 4 farmer in this country
should make his poultry and eggs pay
his grocery bill besides leaving a margin,
and it can be done if the fouls are given
proper care. Dairying pays well as there
is always good market for its products
either in cur towns or the mining towns
of Colorado | can make a success of
raising broom corn alone, also on flax,
hemp and castor beans any of which
can make pay good returns. All of these
are sure crops as all of them will grow if
any rain falls at all. The seasons are
long enough to grow cotton and tobacco.
All classes of fruit trees as well as most
forest trees. do well. if given proper care.
Money can be made by raising seed for
eastern seed firms. We can raise veget
ables enough to keep half dozen can
ming factories going seven months in the
year. We can raise cane enough any
year to have a cane mill at every cross
roads in the county. My advice is,
pillow deep, pulverize well, cultivate
thoroughly and allow no top crust
