Among Our Exchanges,


Emporia has gone out of the business
of paying base ballists more than she
pays her preachers; likewise Lyons,
Great Bend, and several other towns
we might mentiOn.-Lyons Tribune.
If you want to pay the mortgage ON
your farm, and prosper generally, 60
into partnership with the hen, the cow,
the hog, and the horse.-Kinsley Mer-
curry.
The second period of the earth's ex-
istence, which is to end with the going
out of the SUMS light, will terminate
of this matter in time so that our
friends may get in their hay.-La
Crosse ChiettoiYe.
| A social correspondent of the Tescott
Herald says w. w. Champion, of that
place, patronized creamery with
eighteen cows, and realized $22.O8 per
head during the past year, receiving II
cents per 100 pounds of milk.
Greenbacks are said to be prolific
source of disease, coming as they do in
contact with all sorts of diseased hu-
manity. Another thing printers have
to be thankful for, they are never ex-
posed to greenbacks and the conse-
quential disease germs Tribune.
The Kinsley cheese factory people
have declared a dividend for the
months of October and November last
of ST per hundred bounds of milk fur
nished. This is equivalent to 80 cents
a pound for butter, had the same milk
been worked up into that commodity.
The dividends up to March 1st will not
vary much, if any, from the figures of
October and November.

eggs to persons wanting to raise CO.
coons, and he will supply all orders for

eggs and worms. The doctor says to
push things at the station. Address

Kansas Farmer.
The Brown county farmers have de-
cided to use hemp Irvine for binding
their crops this year, which will cost
them about 80 cents per acre for wheat,
and only trifle more for oats. By
next year they propose to have Irvine
factory established, which will be
operated and managed by a farmers
stock company.
a teacher in an Ohio town who
asked one of her pupils to procure
grammar, received the following note
from the girls mother: 81 do not de-
sire that Matte shall ingage in gram
mar as 1 prefer her to ingage in more
useful studies and can learn her to
speak and write proper myself. 1 have
went through two grammars and can't
say as they did me no good prefer
Matte to ingage in german and draw
ing and vokal music on the piano."
Missouri has adopted the Australian
system of elections, her new law being
modelled upon the Andrews law, passed
in Indiana last spring. Democratic
legislatures all over the country are
passing stringent election laws. Re-
publican legislatures. OH the contrary,
are refusing to take a single step in the
direction of ballot reform. This strik-
ingly illustrates the difference in the
spirit and tendencies of the two great
parties.-Ness City Sentinel.
We don't know that President Har-
rison loses any sleep because We don't
indorse him all around, but our heart
is too big to withhold our unqualified
approval of his ately-developed negro
policy. He has made and will make
other appointments of negroes to office |
among northern people. They object,
of course, but he evidently intended to |
find out if they are honest in their loud
protestations about social equality and |
official preferment. He will remind
them right forcibly that medicine and |
advice are easier to give than take. ~
Marshal, Mo-, Democrat.
