One OF prettiest ycrn5 ladies in Lamar
! came down street shopping Wednesday,
and in making the rounds OF the stores
was forced TO cross the streets several
l times, as she started for home she was
heard to murmur:
The depth of tho ocean caro- not to know,
Nor the height of tho Green Mountain peak
care not the dspth of tho AmRzon's flow,
Nor the mine where the coal miners seek.
1 care not the depth of the bora of we'll,
Nor the depth of parting ''good-bye;'
But the depth of the mud in she streets Of Lamar,
Makes a girl want hose that arc fly"
People who are passing through
Prowers county have very little concep-
tiou of the improvements going on, as
nearly all of it in the past has been on
the north side of the river and shut OFF
from observation by the timber on the
river. If Mr.. koen's Hard Scrabble
ranch was located on the south side, it
would bs picture worth looking at now,
and would be an object OF great interest
to travellers going through, with its vast
fields of grain and alfalfa, and system Of
bitches. This coming season we are
glad to note, there will something done
on the south side, and large fields of
grain and alfalfa be put in, which will
make wonderful change in the appear
ance of our county te people passing
through,
Mr.. j. r Reed, OF Ellis, Kansas, has de-
cided to locate here and establish a nur-
sery. He has purchased, We understand,
the land of Mrs. Huddleson and w. II.
Sanders on the north side OF the river,
and will move his nursery stock here at
once. This will be q valuable acquisition
to Lamar and Prowers county, and can
not fail to be profitable enterprise, for
the reason that as the country fills up
and is brought under cultivation, there
will be great demand for trees OF all
kinds, especially fruit. At the present
time there has been very little attention
paid to raising of fruit i'll this part OF
the valley, but as our climate and soil
are well adapted to it, it will soon be
drawing the attention of all our people,
and we predict the enterprise will be one
of the best paying in the valley.
On Wednesday the dagoes brought
one of their bears into town, and the
boys turned their dogs loose to see If
they would fight him. They promptly
jumped his .'barship,' and gavo him
sound drubbing. The dagoes took him
out of town and threatened TO bring one
in next day that would get revenge by
killing half the dogs in town. They
brought in their '.bar" next day, and the
entire town repaired to the stock yards
to witness the battle. There were only
four dogs but they were all on the fight.
Round I. This was the bloody round
OF the fight and >was very lively. The
dogs took hold promptly and staid right
with Mr.. Bear, making him feel very
weary, and furnishing him with all the
revenge and scars he can carry and hold
his job. At the close OF five minutes o,
hard fighting, the dagoes beg for a short
rest for their animal.
ROUND II. This was the noisiest round
and was about as follows: Yaw, Yaw,
Yaw! Jaw, Jaw, Jawl All, All, All! o,
dat is shameful. Fifteen dollah, Fifteen
dollahl And the dagoes withdrew with
a better knowledge Of Lamar dogs than
when they made EheIr first def.
On last Sunday night, as announced
in our last issue, Row E. f. A. Bittner

ence. The sermon was very affecting
and the emotions of the speaker met
with ready response from the audience

people were doubly sad to sec him go. A
man of great piety and force, he stood i'll
the first rank of Christian laborers. He

were 25D conversions. He did not ho-
come dissatisfied with the work here
but goes with hope the of improving his
wife's health. In his going, We have los:
one of our best citizens, kind noighbor,
a sympathizing friend, and the church
one of its ablest advocates; but whore
soeyer he may go his people will keep
, his memory green and will point with
pride to the great work he did while
here.-CGinsuiiie, (Ho..) Netcs
