spring. Mr.. Wakeman has put in 60
acres of wheat on his farm.
The Oakley Saturday Press has chang
ed hands. j. p Israel retiring and A. c..
CoOver assuming charge. Israel writes
an amusing obituary if permission be

He made the Press bright and newsy
during his incumbency of its editorial
chair.
The first building started in Colby was
the old Pioneer Store building which was
built by NJ. Donelan, Esq, and which
has ever since been occupied by him as a
general merchandise store. The build
ing was begun in April, 1885, and finish
ed for occupancy in May. In the mean
time the old Cat Building had been built
in the block just north of Donelan's.
These buildings when completed we're
| regarded as the wonders of western Kan
| sas. Now they are mementoes only of
past enterprise. The business of the Pr
oneer Store has outgrown the old build
ing and Mr. Donelan will remove his
stock of goods and open up November 1
with an elegant and new stock of general
merchandise in the new Weld-Senter
brick building, just opposite his old
stand, where he invites all his old friends
and patrons.
In our announcement column will be
found the name of C. C. Yocum as can
didate for county superintendent. 1t is
with great pleasure that We speak of the
qualifications of this yonng man who
seeks the nomination of the republicans
of Thomas county for this responsible
position. Mr.. Yocum graduated in the
Pennsylvania State Normal course in
1882, and has been teaching more or less
ever since. He taught three years in Ne
braska, and during the past year in Thorn
as county. His regular attendance on
has kept hiR unusually bright in the lat
est books and methods on teaching. His
large and popular acquaintance among
the teachers of the county, and his many
admirable Qualities. wenld make him .
strong candidate, and his candidacy is
well worth the serious considerations of
the republican convention.
The Cheyenne Couzty Democrat is
edited by one of the ahaest and most un
mitigated liars In the west. In q late
number We find the following:
Crops in Thomas and Sherman county
are failure. Cheyenne has some of the
best fields ever seen. The result will be
manifest this fall and the spring follow
ing, in the emigration.'
Now, Will C. Hydon, when you placed
that statement at the head of your edi-
torial columns, you either knew you were
lying, or you knew nothing Of what you
were talking. Either way the statement
i absolutely false. Do you expect to
build up your own county by falsifying
in regard to your neighbors! You can't
do it. Western Kansas is known to the
world as western Kansas. A lie about
Thomas county hurts Cheyenne Just the
same. Tell the truth about your own
county and town. Here We are glad to
learn that you have had good crops But
