the state. The Abilene National has
the unbounded confidence of the people

Miss Grace Peters, one of Abilene's
bright high school graduates, has COM
pleted her second years teaching in
district 70 where she has had excellent
success. The patrons of the district
speak highly of her work and Miss
Grace ranks among the best teachers
of the county.
The county high school trustees
met at Chapman yesterday. The in
creased attendance on the school will,
they found, probably necessitate the
hiring of another teacher, the five in
structors now in the school being
unable to handle the large number
present. The high school is a success.
The Illinois Trotting circuit has

races in all the large cities of Illinois,
except Chicago. Mr.. Culbertson is
eminently fitted for the position and is
to be congratulated upon his selection
for SO honorable and highly remunera-
tive place.
1t was thought a few days ago
when the branches of the trees were
coated with ice that the sight was as
beautiful as Kansas could afford; but
early risers this morning saw one to
equal it. The floating frost crystals
feathered every sprig and stem making
the trees and bushes sprays of beauty,
while with the snow-covered earth
below the whole was sparkling as with
diamonds when the sun rose. Kansas
has abundant glory for the lover of the
beautiful in nature.
Harrington Times: Dickinson
county was divided against itself when
it came to voting on the resubmission
resolution that was before the house
last week. Representative Sem voted
for resubmission and Harvey of the
north district voted as solidly against
it. From what we know of the men,
each voted his own sentiments on that
question. Harvey Is at heart repub-
lican and with the party believes that
''ten years Of successful prohibition has
proved the value of the present law"
while Sem is high license man first,
last and all the time.
