The Independent says that the suit
of Fowler VS.. city Of Enterprise was
originally given judgment Of SIS but
it has been in the courts so long that it
now costs the city S222.
The hum of the thresher is heard in
the land; the farmers are smiling and
gay; the land agent points with his
ring bedecked hand at the prospect Of
plenty so wOndrously grand and dis
poses of six farms per day.
The indications are that there will
be holly contested fight for positions
on the county roll of officers this fall.
There are two or three very fat Offices
to fill. and there seems to be no lack Of
self-sacr;licirg patriots who are willing
to try for them.
We have yet to hear of proposition
to have fair thiS fall. Why can't we
have an old-fashioned farmers fair
with an adequate display of the big
pumpkins, mammoth corn, immense
wheat and large-sized potatoes that we
will raise this year?

New York, where he has been visiting

J. A. Gibson, post commander of
the 3. A. r. at Chapman has just re-
ceived a pension of SIS with back pay |
of $3,145.17. The gentleman is well |
along in years, and the money will be |
boon to him, though it is rather tardy |
recognition Of his services.
A sad sight is that of the woman |
prisoner, Mrs, Allen, confiDed in the
county Jail. She has hard looking
face, though her gray locks inspire
pity. She is accused of completely
with her son in numbering his family
near Council Grove some weeks ago.
sYe see by our exchanges that o. L.
Moore will probably come before the
people as a candidate for county attor-
ney. Mr.. Moore is well and favOrably
known throughout the county. We be-
lieve him to be an honorable gentleman
from what slight acquaintance we have
with him.-[Chapman Courier.
We understand that the Abilene
Waterwofks Co., will, if the test of the
wells flow proves satisfactory, pur-
chase the hole as it now stands and use
the water in the city WaterwOrks sys-
tenn. In case this is done, new gas
we'll will be sunk in another location
and larger water well put down at
the site of the present one.
Oh the school marms, they are COM
ing and you soon will hear the hum
ming of the pretty lips accounting dreary
lessons DER and DER: you'll get views |
of pretty faces and of furbeloWs and |
laces as the scores of airy graces fit
about our streets once more. Then |
about the time of cleaning you will see |
them slowly roaming toward the par
Tors where ice cream is dished IN frozen |
masses out, while beside them there'll |
be walking happy youths whose mouths
are talking idle nonsense that no living
man can fathom what's about. There'll
be anxious, beaming glances at the
schoolboard men whose fancies can be
captured by the dimples of a sweetly
moulded cheek; and inquiries quick
will bubble, for chance to have the
trouble of gadding sense into the young
idea at SO much pay per week.
