Salem.
Thank the Great Giver of all good for the
blessed rain Saturday night.
The entertainment and supper OF Salem on the
Salem +. NJ B. A. lodge was a very enjoyable
affair. As usual at Salem there was enough left
to feed crowd rs big as the one already fed
Il put one In mind Of the time when Christ fed
the multitude. ii. ii. Hayward was the first
called on for speech, and he gave us the hard
solid sense that generally gets into his speeches
The next called out was Chas. +. Scott, who
done and would do IL IL stuck together and was
properly managed, he babe the order Godspeed
and then Capt. III. 4. Ewing took a hand said
Il was pretty late (li o'clock) that i was about
girl-nQbody believed him though Why the
old folks and especially the kids that are always
80 much In the way hadn't thought Of shutting
crowd jnst stared at him when he said It, But
then the Captain said he was trying to get
away" He never tried hard enough to make q
success Of IL. That wasn't the style in our
graudfather's Capt. and you know it, Then
came Aiken who told how American cattle were
Disseminated against I'm England and thought
stop it. Others were called but said 1t was too
late as 1t had got to 1.-The wee sma' hours -
Adjournment was had and all went home feeling
that they had had not only pleasant but a
ford and Lehman of Cherry Grove, Bryant of
Maple Grove, jury and Barber of Allen Center,
besides the others already mentioned added to
the pleasure OF the occasion by their presence.
The editor of the Farmers Friend was invited TO
be present but was detained from coming
The social benefits of the order are not the
least among the good things of the + NJ Il. II
the order is only reasonable in its demands
tolerant OF the opinions Of those who do not
agree with it, willing that i'm the distribution of
the offices in the gift of the people, those who by
our rules cannot belong shall be represented It
will long exist to be blessing to alt concerned
ma
Der should be careful that nothing he may say
or do shall briug 1t into disrepute.
The frost was pretty heavy here. Most of the
corn was more or less hurt but We thiuk no per-
manent damage was done except perhaps TO
garden truck. 1t is now nearly twenty years
since we came TO Kansas and never did we see
SO heavy frost SO late as this.
Ben Davis is breaking fifty acres of prairie for
Mr.. kasebeer.
l.. b. Pearson is also breaking prairie II is
good while since we have seen SO many break
ing plows at work, but II seems to be the FASH
ion to break and SOW to tame grass.
Capt. Stewart says he is going to SOW every
nook and corner OF his farm that Is not cultiva-
ted, to tame grass.
David Fers-uson went to Ottawa Saturday to
visit Rev. Daniel Young.
X. s. Baker was I'm this part of Salem last
week selling liquid to stop calves horns from
growing.

Dave Byrum has put up windmill to pump
water to his yard. lie says 1t is q daisy
Frank Reese is getting to be one of the extern
sive hog raisers OF Salem
Messrs, Hoffman and Pearson have been
fencing on hog pastures.
\. w. Crawford has the handsomest yard In
Salem.
In answer to lone Eye Openo In the Union
We will say that the one of his neighbors who
was cultiyating corn on Sunday was a Seventh
Day Adventist. But for all that IL does not seem
just the thing i'm community where every one
else keeps Sunday holy to go into the field to
work.
The proceedings in the county assembly last
Saturday were very satisfactory to all concern
ed. Alien county ought to be proud of her
farmers. WILLOW FARM.
