mayor and common council are
willing to spend the taxpayers money
to show themselves in q brilliant
spectacle but shrink fToin spending it
As . mark of respect to the veterans.
There Is but one way for the mayor
and council to square themselves and
be consistent, and that is in paying for

In fact the mayor is committed TO euch
a course by his own declaration, made
when it was decided not to hire car

SUCH cases will be commended by sur.

Claims do not agree with the commit.

Upon a careful consideration of the
proofs filed and made a part of the re-

DAY OF December, 1888, Aquilla Jones

worthy brother, R. T. Edmonson, who

Yes, on his labOrs all rely, and yet l
might say the farmers are looked upon
as a kind of inferior grade of people,
while I think they should be more
highly respected than any other class
of people. Why so? Because they
support the whole world. All people,
high or low, have to look to ,he farm
ers for bread to eat; and not only
bread, but everything they eat. If
there were no farmers, what would
there be- Nothing, as they would all
perish. Let US take for instance the
city girl, and let us suppose a young
man "a farmer) should become atten-
tive to her. Is it probable that she
would encourage him9 Nine cases out
of ten she would not, and why note
simply because his face is sunburned,
and his hands are not soft and white,
and that he is nothing but a mere
"clod hopper" 1t is not so with me,
for I nm a country girl, and think
farming the most pleasant of all occu-
pations, Why do city people like so
well to go to the house of a nicefarmer9
They go where they can breathe pure,
fresh air, and where there is so much
nice fruit, and they do not have to pay
for each apple, pear, peach, or even
for a bunch of grapes, etc. I am a
member of Smith Creek Alliance, and
some ladies ask me if I think it does
me any good. I tell them it does no
harm; and I have been told that the
Alliance was no place for ladies, but I
ear see no improperly whatever in
belonging to it.
This is my first attempt, and if it
does not find it's way to the waste
basket, l may write again.
With best wishes for the prosperity
of the farmers all over this country,
lam, MARY A. HARTON.

DEBTS, EVIDENCE OF PROS
PERITY.

Five old party papers suspended and
four new Peoples party papers started
in only a few weeks. The old party
papers suspended on account of debts
and were sold at mortgage sale. Let's
see: The Kansas Republican league
says: "Our debts stand for our invest
ments and not for our losses. They
represent our enterprise and not our
misfOrtunes; our property and not our
poverty" These papers we're the old
