Hon. VIM. Bakers meeting here
last Saturday was not largely attend
ed on account of a failure to proper

place in Jacob Closes grove. Owing

"A correspondent in the Logan
Freeman says the HERALD did not
mention the Peoples State COnven-
ton held at Topeka. He is wrong.
We were the first paper in the coun-
ty to print the names of the nominees
of that convention.
H. @. Kelly Of Mound, says he has
forty acres Of pretty good broom
corn; will have about 200 bushels of
corn on a place he rents, and will
have enough Of potatoes and beans
to do his family for a year. Mr. Kel-
Iy was nearly four years in the army,
and he proposes to stay in Kansas.
Charles Tracy informs us that
the Baptist Association Meeting.
which is to be held here on the 18th,
18th and 18th inst, will be quite an
important meeting. At least one
hundred persons from other points
are expected. Several prominent
ministers will be among the number.
The citizens generally will be called
upon to entertain the strangers.
Last week the Dispatch hardly came
up to its average standard of excel
lency. The reason was probably that
the foreman, Dennis BickfOrd. was too
busy to write the editorials and cor
rect McNay's bad spelling. Bick-
fOrd's editorials are usually very good,
and he gets out a very creditable pa
/ per when he has time to prepare the
! editorials and straighten out and put
IN proper shape the lawful mess" of
copy that Mack prepares.
Isaac Y. Lee says he hopes the
report is correct that the Eastern
Loan Companies will furnish seed
wheat but he does not expect to get
any although he needs it as badly as
any one. He says he does not see
how small grain can be raised here
on account of the inability of the
farmers to procure seed. He thinks
the situation is a very serious one in
deed. It would seem that there
ought to be some concerted and yigOr-
GUS movement on the part of the peO-
pie to meet the emergency.
District Court has been in session
since last Monday. Up to this time
but one case of impOI tance has been
tried, that of the State against John
FallOn on the charge of attempting
to kill his son in law Noah Michaels.
The verdict of the jury was mot
guilty" Spaulding & Dawson de-
Tended and County Attorney Shearer
prosecuted. The case of T. j. LOar
VS.. The School District of Phillips
burg is now on trial and is attracting
much attention. Mr.. LOar was dis
charged from the principal-ship of
/ the Phillipsburg Schools some months
salary for the balance of the term af-
ter his discharge.
The Herald again last week, as many times i'm
the past waited for the DISPATCH so as to get
Locals, as well as other news, to make the local
columns appear newsy- We have no serious OBJ
jectiOns of their copying from our paper if they
would give US the proper credit, but il looks Fath
er strange that they should change their publica-
ton cay for $3.50. 90 convenience and then
wait for the DISPATCH for local news Dispatch.
Sometimes our neighbor talks about
other people being enyious and jeal-
| GUS. We know Of no more egOtisti-
cal and suspicious fellow In Phillips
county than IS McNay. If he sees US
talking on the street with a man,
| especially a stranger or person from
the country, he IS terribly fidgety till
he can interview that person TO see if
we were not talking about him. The
idea of our holding back the HERALD
so as to get his locals is simply ride
ulous.
