The city council held its regular
monthly meeting last Monday night.

frmed. We think the appointment a
good one. The meeting of Monday

The Register says an Englishman is
making investments is Kansas because
of her prohibition law. 1t is our
opinion that the farmers, and all other
people of Kansas would rather have
honest, industrious farmers to locate in
Kansas, than to have English capital
lists buy up the land in large bodies to
speculate upon.
There is probably never time when
there are not one or more poor but
honest families in this city sick and
distressed, and in heed of friendly
assistance. Would not the w. g. T.
U. be doing creditable thing should
they expend their money and time in
helping such people, instead of the
way they have been doing?
Wednesday Sheriff Frank D. Will
son, and Geo. N. Moses, Willis W.
Winstead. Myron Gilmore and Jas.
s. Dalziel, ex-sheriffs of Barton
county, visited Halladay's and had
their photographs taken in group.
These gentlemen comprise all the Sher-
ifs Barton county has ever had, and
make group that will arrest the
observers attention-or anything else.
The cemetery question was brought
up again at the council meeting Mon
day night, and the committee to whom
the matter was referred was given
further time. In the opinion of many
with whom we have talked, the thing
the council can do best, under the
circumstances, is to condemn the present
cemetery grounds, or so much as has
not passed into the hands of lot owners.
