of intellectually. An abundance OF
locks is only an undesirable heritage,
(pun unintentionaD, left US by brute
ancestors. Savage tribes are marked
by a heavy growth of hair. With adj
vancing civilization the tresses grow
scarcer until the marvellous nineteenth
has produced that acme of in
tellectuality, the bald man. Enthusi-
astic evolutionists look forward to the
time when the last hair shall have
been developed away At pres.
ent the man with the smooth
pate, may console himself thinking
that he is several centuries ahead of
the rest of the race, "born with time
in advance of time" Currently speak
ing, there are no flies on the bald
head. Query,-Why do people speak
of a bald headed man?
Mr.. F. Atkinson brought to this Of

ty, some samples of corn raised by Mr..
f. b. Fullington, who is brother-in-
law to Mr.. A. The corn was TAX
en- from different shocks i'm the field
which will produce over fifty bushels
to the acre. Mr.. Fullington voted for
Harrison and hopes to vote for Blaine,
and he raises good corn in spite of the
scorn and howls of "Kalamity Jane
Mr.. A. reports the ponds and small
streams entirely dry, many farmers
being compelled to drive their stock to
Owl creek for water. North Owl creek
is well supplied with deep, cold pools
of water in which black and striped
bass, sunfish and catfish abound. Mr..
A. and Mr.. F. caught forty-six in four
hours with hooks and lines, some OF
them of large size. -

The entire debt of Kansas is only -
per cent of the true value of her real
estate. To be bankrupt, the debt
would necessarily be 100 per cent go
she has a margin of % per cent over
and above her Indebtedness. More
over, Kansas has the material TO show
for every dollar of her Indebtedness.
Almost any business man would feel
pretty comfortable if he were relative
ly as well fixed as Kansas.

of the credit is due to the ladies of the
church for their energetic resistance.
