Chetopa Democrat; Our citizens are
divided on the question Of opening the
territory to white settlement. We be-
ieve this is the only town on the border
where the subject OF opening this
country viii find an opponent.
Bluff City Herald: We are indebted
to u. V. Mccain for a fine, large water
melon which was served for dinner at
the ChillOcco New Years day. It would
be pretty late for melons in some cOun-
tries, but not much out Of season here.
Cunningham Herald: The creamery
project, which has been under consider
alton among several OF our enterprising
citizens for some time past, is bound to
be q success. A first class creamery
man has slgnifed his willingness to erect
one at this point and take good share
of the stock himself.

graduated on securing such an excellent

Carbondale Carbondalian: DR.. d.
Burdick has returned from his visit to
Scotland. He started with two thor
oughbred Clydesdale horses, but the
rough sea caused the death of one on
the ocean. The return voyage was very
stormy and dangerous and we doubt not
that the doctor is well pleased to get
back.
Cunningham Herald: One OF our
farmer citizens sent a money order to
the receiver at the Larned land Office
the other day to make the last payment
on his land. The order was returned
with the request to send the cash. 1t
does seem strange or rather ridiculous
TO be unable to do government business
with government exchange.
Scandal Independent: @. P. Carsten-
sen informs US that the Rock Island rail
road company viii pay into the treasury
OF this county $31, 900 in taxes. He pays
to the Rock Island company about
$4,000 in interest on the bonds, leaving

the roads run; these figures are not ex-
act, but are approximately true.

and John Heligass. The board organized
by electing W. 81. Downing, president;
George o. Armstrong, secretary; II. Il.
Ellsworth, treasurer.
Marion Record: William Kellison
deserves much commentator for his
setting an example for the city and
property owners. He has in q fine
manner macadamized Main street In
front OF his lots. He has done this at
his own expense IN order to stimulate
efforts on the part of the city. Such an
example is worthy Of patterning after
and we trust that it shall come right
early.
Clay Center Dispatch: The question
OF issuing the bonds voted by this city
- l. 4 =. a
gas or coal came up again before the
council and was made a special order OF
business for the next meeting. The
bonds were carried by a good majority
and the people fail to see any good rea-
son why they should not be issued.
Many who were opposed to voting the
bonds, now favor the issuance OF the
same.
Topeka Financier: The stone quar-
ries In the vicinity OF Manhattan are
worth more than mines OF gold and sill
yer. Hundreds Of car loads are shipped
out Of that city every year and the de-
nand has bsen steadily increasing. The
stone is excellent for building purposes
and is shipped in all directions and as
Ear north as Lincoln, Neb. Kansas is
constantly growing more independent OF
her wealth Of crops in the development
OF mine, quarry and factory.

anniversary OF the lodge. It Is generally
agreed by all who were present that
the Gaylord Knights understand the
art OF entertaining to perfection.
