The Postomce Matter.

The following has been handed us
by the business men who are interested
in the matter. We believe that they
voice the sentiment of nine-tenths the
business men of the city and suggest
that our postmaster regard the wishes
of his patrons sufficiently to accede to
their very modest request:
EDITOR REFLECToR:-We, the
undersigned, believing that it is desir-
able in city the size of Abilene that
there should be an opening of the post
office a short time on Sunday morning
as is done in all similar-sized cities of
Kansas, wish to state that we would
be in favor of having the postoffice
open on Sunday morning.

PROSPEROUS INSTITUTION.
The Holland Creamery Making a
Deserved Success in its Business.

One of the leading industries of
Dickinson county and one which is
doing much to open new avenues to
wealth to the farmers is the creamery
business. Already there are several
fiourishing creameries in operation and
making money both for their owners
and managers and for their patrons.
The farmers find in them ready cash
market for milk and they are thus en-
abled to realize q steady and easily
earned revenue from their farm-yard.
Cows are easily kept and fodder is
not hard to obtain; even though large
crops are the exception rough fodder is
generally abundant.
Among all the creameries of this
section none is making better success
than the Holland creamery, located in
Southwest Dickinson on the farm of
Hon. Glenn Bell. The creamery has
been in operation about three months
and already its trademark on butter
is we'll known in Colorado, Illinois,
New York and New Mexico, to which
markets large shipments are made
daily. The commission merchants
always give top prices for the product
and cannot supply the market. The
farmers in the vicinity are giving the
institution all the milk that their pres
ent stocks of cattle can produce and
several contemplate adding largely to
their investments in this direction.
The creamery is now turning out $50
pounds of butter per day and using
5000 pounds of milk.
The company, of which the Hon. J.
W. Gibson is president and w. L. w.
Sterling is secretary, is much pleased
with the success of their investment
and will no doubt with another veal
extend their business.
Other parts of the county, not al
ready provided, will find it profitable
test this creamery business and thus
taid the farmers to diversity their wOrE
and make more sure their income. L
is only by such methods that farming
in this portion of the State can be made
a complete success.

Almost a Fire.

A narrow escape from a disastrous
fire occurred at the courthouse yester.
day evening about six O'Clock. The
janitor had left large bundle of floor
paper oil the back part of the furnace.
The paper caught fire and blazed up
furiously. Fortunately it was seen
from the ontside by a passer-by and
the flames extinguished. A few
minutes more would no doubt have
allowed the blaze to get under such
Roadway as to have set on fire the
whole lower story of the building.

the enormous sum of $40, 200. Besides
the grain shipments, we have shipped
stock to the amount of $33 900. To
transport this amount of grain and
stock it required one train three miles

total value is over 100000.
