Mr.. Chapman was so much pleased
with the ladies of the band and with
their music Tuesday night that he
was unable to express his feelings in
plain prose but dropped off into poe
try as follows:
swceter music was never known,
From fairer lips ever blown!
We fear that in becoming an office
seeker Mr.. Chapman has missed his
vocation; he ought to have been poet.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Sheets and
their children, of Indiana, are here on
a visit to the family of Mrs. Sheets
father, Mr.. S. White. The pleasure of
their visit was much marred by the
illness of one of the little girls, who
has been suffering from an attack of
diphtheria. 1t was feared for awhile
that she might not survive, but she is
now reported out of danger.
A man never knows until he comes
up for office how many grudges are
laid up agaist him. Newt Strong was
in Humboldt the other day and was
pointed out to a Democrat there as
the Democratic candidate for Repre-
sentative. ''That manw said the
Democrat, "Why he is the fellow who
umpired a game of ball here two years
ago and he can't get vote in Hum
boldt!"
Owing to the fact of the Wizard Oil
ming, the hour of the Republican
meeting at Humboldt last Saturday
was changed from 700 to $3.50, and the
result was that only very small
crowd turned out and the rally was
practically failure. The meeting
ought to have been held in the eve
ming as advertised.
Union: Thursday evening, at the
residence of J. p. Johnson, a reception
was given to Mr.. and Mrs. Higginson,
Mrs. l.. NJ. Glover and w. b. Glover,
all of whom are to leave Humboldt
soon for Wichita where they are to
reside i'm the future. There was a
large attendance at the reception in
spite of the damp, forbidding weather.
Somebody was telling us not long
ago that a man who has farm on
the high ridge west of Colony raised
200 acres of flax this year that yielded
IL bushels per acre. We can remenl-
Der when everybody thought that
ridge would never raise anything but
and prickly pears.
A postal card from J. P. Duncan in

during the winter. He sends regards
to all Allen county friends and cor
dial invitation to any who may visit
Chicago TO call on him,
VIM. Able, of Carlyle township, was
thrown from q horse last Friday and
had both the bones of his right leg
broken just above the ankle. DIR. l..
Tozer reduced the fracture and the pa
tent is now doing as well as could be
although he will be disabled
for a long time.

The young ladies of the band ask
US to express their sincere thanks to
the citizens who contributed so lib
orally toward the purchase of their
new instruments, and also to Mr.. A.

We print in another place letter

corning the Indian lands that are
next in line to be opened for settle
ment, which will doubtless be of
interest to a number of our readers.
