M -. I1eIl6nWdys 6ulGOr OF the
Despatch of Hope, Kansas, was a call
er last Friday. He came to look at a
farm he recently traded for near Lo-
gan. He had heard before arriving
that corn had all been destroyed by
the hot winds in this county. He was
agreeably disappointed. He found
that he had a good average corn crop
on the farm he had purchased.

E. F. Hughes, Vice President of
the Phillips County Agricultural So
ciety and an intelligent farmer, says
the farmers of this county have
practice Of planting their corn too
close together thick He says
where it is listed the stalks ought to
be at least twenty inches apart. We
believe MIR. Hughes is correct in this
matter.
We are informed that George
Spaulding, Of Phillipsburg, will be a
candidate before the republican con-
ventiOn for county attorney. Among
all others we have thus far heard from
as candidates for that Office, George
is the choice, and we hope for the
good Of the county that he will re-
celve the nOminatiOn.-LOT Island
Leader.
We learn that some of our Re
publican friends in Sumner township
expressed themselves as not being
pleased that ''the HERALD did not pub
lish notice Of their meeting at the
Griffin School House last Tuesday
night" They were mistaken. We
did print the notice in the supplement
on which nearly all our locals ap-
peared.
-Irb. Hall had a narrow escape
from death. at Phillipsburg last Fri
day, for while in the act of throwing a
mail bag from the car while in motion,
he lost his balance and fell onto the
platform, lacerating the right side of
his face IN a horrible manner, besides
sustaining other severe bruises.
Though considerably shook up, he is
recovering rapidly and viii soon be at
work again BeLLeUjIIe Telescope.
Mayor Lowe gives notice that
fast riding or driving through the
streets In Phillipsburg must cease.
1t is high time this practice was end
ed We know Of one very narrow
escape of a little child being run over
and trampled while on the crossing.
We know mothers who are in a ter
rOr or dread much of the time from
fear that their little ones may be kill
ed or crippled by fast drivers Orreck-
less horseback riders. Let the Mar
shall fearlessly do his duty. The
public sentiment viii sustain the or
dinance.
Last Tuesday there was a law
suit in Justice Townships Court in
which Jesse Stanley was the prose
cutting witness against II. B. Abbott,
nelghbOrs both Of Greenwood town
ship Stanley accused Abbott Of
making an assault upon him to do him
great bodily injury. The result was
that Mr.. Abbott was discharged and
the costs were assessed to Stanley for
malicious prosecution It seems that
Alr. and Mrs. Abbott had driven over
to Stanleys for some articles left there
when Stanley began abusing Mr.. Alb
bott and made threats against him Of
a serious nature. Some blows were
struck. The Court after taking tes-
tlmOny thought Stanley made the
hrst assault Stanley is the same
man who was before the Court some
months ago on the charge Of beating
his wife.
