A Young Lady's Opinion.

If you think the Great Berd girls are
not observant of matters and things you
will change your mind after reading
the following from a recent issue of
the Burlingame Chronicle:
In renewing her subscription to the
Chronicle, Miss Celia Mitchell, former
ly of this city, now living at Great
Bend, Kansas, writes as follows:
May be pardoned for adding a
few lines about our town and county?
1.-The population of Great Bend is
about 5000 and is increasing rapidly.
Our people are kind, generous and in
dustrious, all enjoying prosperity and
looking happy, except the editors, who
are financially embarrassed on account
of short crops the past two years. How
ever, since harvest this year, L notice
they are wearing a smile. And we'll
they may, for the stacks of wheat. rye
and oats on every hand, and the i'm
mense crop of corn soon to be gathered
in this county, is sight that is calcu-
lated to make even an editor smile.
I'VE have a beautiful college here. 1t
has been built three years. 1t is hav-
ing vacation now but school will COM
mence again in three, weeks and it is
expected that there will be an increased
attendance this year.
1--WE also have water works, street
cars, electric light, two railroads, three
school houses, two fine hotels, a fOun-
dry, etc. !"

A Bad Accident.

We regret to learn that John
Clifton, one of our prosperous farm
ers in the northeast part of the county,
met with an accident last week that
will lay him up for some time. A
wagon containing a header box, in
which Mr.. Clifton was riding was
accidentally turned over while he was
crossing the Mo. P. r. r. track, and
his thigh was broken. LATER.-We
are told that Julius Schurr was also
in the wagon with Mr.. Clifton, and
met with the same fate, he also hav-
ing thigh broken.

Our College,

The fall term of the Central Normal
College opens next Tuesday, Septem-
Der Sd, and every one intending to at
tend the first term should be on hand
the first day. This college has proven
itself we'll worthy of patronage, the at
tendance last year being larger than in
any Normal school west of Emporia.
and the promises now are that the COM
ing term will have much larger at
tendance than ever before. In some
of the departments the former teachers
have been retained, while in others
more efficient teachers have been en-
gagged. Professors Stryker, Wright and
others, have been working up the col
lege interests throughout western and
central Kansas, and they each send
pleasing word of an anticipated large
attendance.

Concerning Sugar Beets.

Chas. A. Voght, of Lakin township,
who has in about two acres of sugar
beets, says the beets are doing well,
and have not been in the least effected
in growth by the dry weather of the
last few weeks. He will send the beets
to a sugar mill, have them polarized,
and ascertain the amount of sugar they
contain. If found that they contain a
be taken to introduce more extensive
cultivation of the vegetable in this
county. Mr.. Voigt is quite confident
the raising and manufacture of sugar
beets will at an early day be one OF
our prominent industries.
