g. r. Chism, of Deer Greek. saws
the result Of his farming this year is
slim, but he raised 1855 bushels of
wheat, had some oats and some pOta-
toes and hopes to pull through. He
has 2OO bushels of old rye.
The City Council has paid bills
to the amount OF about $7,883OO on
material and for the construction of
the water works now being put in at
this place. Of this amount So, 7OO.OO
has been expended at home.
The rain last Monday was a rous-
ing one. 1t was a heavier fall Of wa
ter than we have had for a year. The
| streets looked like rivers. Some
damage was done to the City Water
Works wells and bitches but the dam
age was not very serious.
Charles Fredericks Of this town
ship raised this year 235 bushels Of
/ wheat; l2O bushels of oats; 100 bush
/ els of potatoes and about $50 bushels
! OF corn. F'redericks is an old settler
and he says he is we'll satisfied with
Kansas as a farming country.
Prof NJ Piatt has been engaged
to take the prIncipalshIp of the Phil
Iipsburg schools. The Prof. taught
a very successful term of school in
/ Kirwin last year and the CHIEF CON
graduates the people of Philllpsburg
on their selectiOn.-Kjr9vjI1 Chief.
Our usually quiet peaceabIe town
/ had a scrimage Monday between Lee
FOust and his nephew Joe Foust.
The trouble was over harrow. The
/ uncle seemed to be too much for Joe.
/ Fighting is bad business gentlemen
is disgraceful and a poor way to set
tie disputes.
Rev. J. H. Flelsher will preach
in Logan next Sunday at the usual
hour IN the morning and lecture on
temperance in the evening. Rev. J..
@. Little, of Logan, will occupy the
pulpit at the NJ E. Church in Phil

Jacob Bradley has purchased the
| Willis Kirk residence property. Jake
! has always been an enthusiastic de-
fender Of Kansas and PhillIpsbufg
{ and he proposes to stay right here
The buying of this property is a little
indication that he has at last decided
/ to get married and settle down.
In our notice last week of the
/ candidates we stated that Ritner
Smith was engaged in the livery bust
ness in Phillipsburg. That was an
error. Tt IS his brother who is in the
business and we thought Ritner had
an interest with him but he has not
| He is actively engaged in farming.
There was a very pleasant social
gathering at 0. w. BickfOrd's last
/ Saturday evening in honor of Mrs.
James and Mrs. Champlin who left
Sunday morning for American Forks,
Utah, where they expect &c reside
| permanently. This gathering was
/ composed Of ladies-friends of the
two about to leave Phillipsburg.
Capt. Covington has received an
offer to take editorial charge of a
/ Democratic paper-not in this cOun-
ty and we believe not in the State.
He has not yet decided to accept the
position. The Captain stands high
in his party and as an editor made
quite a reputation among those who
believe as he does politically.

Miss Josie Hill, daughter of Dave
Hill, met with quite an accident a te5a
days ago. Her brother, Asa, was
amusing himself shooting with a tar
/ get gun when the ball glanced and
struck her hip. The ball has not yet
been removed and probably Wiil nos
unless it becomes a necessity. This
/ is only one out Of many accidents
which happens by the careI essness OF
boys handling guns. 1t is frequent
ly a practice to have target guns anC
shooting at public gatherings and We
suggest that nothing Of the kind bt
! allowed on the picnic grounds thu
