H@Sam Campbell, living south of

of new daughter forced himself and
family to stay on the farm and enter
tain her.
RgIf some of the back lots in the
heart of the city are not cleaned OF
refuse before the spring rains and
warm weather Abilene will stand a
good chance to experience siege of
Egyptian plague.
HThe REFLECTOR has turned cut
large number of sale bills for farmers
of the county in the past week. Re
member we have the best facilities for
such work of any Office in the county
and neatness and dispatch are assured.
~Abilene has the name of taking
the most pride in fine horses of any
city in the State. Her magnificent
track and the large number of fast
flyers owned here combine to make
good her title, 1.-The Lexington of the
West"
@A number of friends passed a
pleasant evening, Tuesday, at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy, conner of
Seventh and Kinney. The affair was
the more delightful as it was COM
plete surprise upon the host and
hostess.
bRPostmaster Buchanan has re-
ceived six new boxes for the reception
of mail. They will be at once placed
in various parts of the city and its
suburbs. They will be great con-
venience and will be much appreciated
by our citizens.
gThe District Clerks Office has
been improved by the addition of a
cabinet of $50 boxes for the cafe keep

tends from floor to ceiling and will
add much to Mr.. Anderson's conve-

Deputy of the Good Templars, has been
lecturing IN Harrington and Hope dur
ing the past week on temperance. In
the latter place lodge of Good Temp

former was greatly strengthened.
Thursday eve. the young folks of
the Baptist church gave pie social at
the residence of D. Z. Snider on Spruce.
A very pleasant time was had and
"Pie" was king of the evening. For
once the participants in the social had
their fill of that useful article of fool.
R6One of the raw recruits at Fort
Riley was killed last Tuesday. He
was out on a wild horse, which ran
away with him; and as the horse was
going straight toward tree, the SOL
der leaned to one side, while the horse
went the other. His head struck the
tree and was mashed.
R9The finding of a two and
a half foot vein of coal at short
distance below the surface on the
farm of Mr.. Beach, 8 miles
north of Manchester, is reported. There
is no doubt that this section of Kansas
is underlaid with the dusky diamonds.
The only difficulty seems to be that it
is cheaper to import the fuel than to
mine it.
H6If those who think Dickinson
county has a large number of malcon-
tents could see the columns of some east
ern papers they would conclude that we
were wonderfully happy. In one
Pennsylvania exchange is a column
and half of notices of public sales set
for this month-6S being advertised
