A GRAND DISPLAY.
John z. Wiley Sells More Machines this
Year than has Been god in this
County for FEARS!
Farmers and Merchants Preparing for n
Large Isaryest IN Edwards County.


Mr.. John f. Wiley, one of our most
enterprising merchants, having sold
carload of those famous Deering Irvine
binders, all to be delivered on Satur-
day TO the respective purchasers,
Messrs John Domain, Dave Heath,
Ferdinand Ems, Herman Diers, Chas.
l-, August Quassebach, J. j.
Wright, M. ID. Hetzel, Woods 81
Cunningham, Henry Thaier, Wendell
Kuhn, WOgen Jensen and l.. G. Boies,
some CT our most energetic and pros
Porous farmers, gave street parade
that bespoke for Edwards county's
out come this year in glowing terms,
and was joyously witnessed by cur
people who greeted the procession ON
all sides with cheers. Mr.. Wiley
entertained about thirty-five of his
customers and friends al dinner at the
Alamo hotel, after which the process
sion was formed in front of his store
on Colony avenue in the following
order: Mr.. Wiley on horse back,
marshall band, twelve binders, one
header, purchased by Messrs Smith and
| BrelsfOri, 'sFarmcr" Hebron with
machine that they use down east com
monty called i cradle and kept here as
mere relic, citizens i'll carriage, and
moved south to eighth street, thence
east to Niles avenue, thence north to
Sixth street, thence west to Colony
avenue, thence north across the rail-
read, around past the court house
| thence back to G1r. Willey's store.
The whole thing was grand affair
-,
as to give Edwards county one of the
best advertisements she ever had.
Mr.. Wiley is deserving Of great
amount of praise for the manner in
which it was executed.
Since ordering the car load of bind
ers, Mr.. Wiley has sold four more
binders, two headers and two six foot
cut moving machines, making total
of sixteen binders, three headers and
two mowers. Mr. Wiley thinks he
will sell another carload of machines
before the season closes, and we most
earnestly hope that he may.
In connection with this large sale
of machines it is no more than right to
give credit to Mr.. Willey's efficient
clerk, Mr.. y. G. Fisher, who has been
as untiring and jealous in the work as
though he was working for himself.
We will venture the assertion that
there is not another clerk il western
| Kansas who takes 4 deeper interest
IL his employers welfare than does
Mr.. y. G. Fisher.

Mr.. j. f. Wiley, the leading hardware
and implement dealer in Kinsley, re-
ceived Saturday, Il car load OF Deer
ing Irvine binders direct from the
factory. This is an innovation I'M
paralelled in the history Of Edwards
county. The binders were mostly sold
for cash and were taken to the respec
tive purchasers the day received, 1t
is the largest invoice ever received and
delivered in Kinsley in one day. The
procession paraded the principal streets
before taking up its line Of march to
the country where the machines Will
be set up and tested before harvest.
| This is the kind of street parades that
are pleasing to the eye and are salts

It is suggestive OF bOuntiful harvests
and cornucopia for the farmer. In
three weeks the music OF these binders
will be heard on the prairies in voice
sweeter than song as they deity cut
and bind the golden grain, tossing the
sheaYes hither and thitEer, to be gath
cred and gaTnered by the farmer and
hisboys.
Edwards county this year will yield
an old time harvest of thirty bushels
of wheat per acre. The solemn brood
of care will fade from many a fuIrOw-
ell brow, and the cloud from many a
titled deed as well.

his courage, fortitude and sagacity.
his untiring business perseverance and
, tact. He started business i'll Kinsley
in 1877, and has experienced most OF
the vicissitudes of a frontier merchant
