AGRA.

No valentines In town this year
Quite a number from here at
tended the dance IN KensingtOn a few
nights ago. j ames Scott, of Kir-
win shipped cattle out of here Satur-
day night for Kansas City. C. @.
Stone is removing his stock of gro
ceries and shoes from Kirwin to this
place this week. Mr.. Gardner has
taken charge Of the pOstOfice, vice
d. w. Smedley resigned Mr.. Gard
ner bought the building occupied by
the Graphic and viii move it to the
east side. The Warner house, of
kirWIn. has inaugurated a carriage
line between Agra and that place,
connecting with all trains This
makes the fifth line, the others being
Camp, Booze, Knuckles and Lam
phere. John Lane has received
many hattering notices of his new pa
per. John says as soon as the bust
ness Will Justify the action he viii add
q complete new outfit to his establish
ment. The next two weeks viii show
a greatly increased advertising pat
rOnage. a petition has been circu-
lated for two new school houses in
place Of the one just north Of town.
! One Will be located about three miles
north and the other in town. We be-
ieve this to be a good move, and the
earlier the better And still they
cOme-Ihis time a doctor from Kan
sas City will locate here and also
open out a drug store. The gentle
man IS one of experience and we an
ticipate for him good business.
A kensingtOn paper takes exception
to the statement that Agra does more
| business than any place between
I BeIleVille and the state line, except
/ county seats. But it is nevertheless
/ the fact, and we viii go one better
and say that Agra station does twice
| as much business in a month as thai
neighbOr. By the way, we now equal
/ them in population and will double
them in six months. AS we stated
last week, Charley Turner has com
pleted arrangements whereby he viii
move all his buildings to the east side
He informs the writer that lots have
been chosen on the avenue opposite
the xxx store building. This now
stops the fractional strife and we car
now look forward with bright antici
patiOns, as Charlie is a hustler.
! We were out riding a few days ago
and saw a farmer breaking ground
for spring sowing. Kansas is al
early state but then that looks a little
premature. The majority of Oul
buildings need paint. Here is a gOOC
location for a good painter. .. &. L
Upton says its a boy and weighs tel
| pounds. Cigars should be coming
| Ed. A wolf hunt on next Monday
to round up at the road crossing two
miles south of town. Everybody IN
vited. No guns allowed. Mrs
