NEIGHBORHOOD HAPPENINGS.
CLAFLIN
/ From the Banner
A social masquerade ball will be given
in Ingersolls Hall on the evening of
November z4th.
Theo. Stout who had his hands badly
burned few week since, is able to be
out again.
Some of the boys who are wearing
republican hats, have them appropri-
ately draped in mourning.
When court sets Clalin is never left
out. She is in it either as witness or
as one of the interested parties.
The first snow of the season fell on
the eighth day of November, and ac-
cording to an old proverb there will be
just eight more SHOWS this season.
A new brass band is talked of for our
city in the near future, and we hope the
boys won't let the matter end in talk.
It's something that we need.
Something out of the usual order of
things occurred this week which we think
is deserving of special mention. The
school board in full, paid visit to the
city school. If few of the parents
| would do likewise, we think it would be
for the good of the school.

| From the Dispatch.
| To the turkey: Come off the perch.
A Cleveland flag has been floating
from the top of the opera building the
past week.
w. B. King and family, of Eureka
township. are preparing to move to
California
Why is it that the opposite side of
| the street always has an attraction for
the man who owes you?
Children under sixteen years of age
| should be at home after O'Clock in the
evening instead of on the street.
This is the season of the year when
literary societies flourish. Hoisington
will not have one this winter.
1t is estimated that about 40 per
cent. of this years wheat crop in Bar
ton county has so far been marketed. 1t
was an immense crop.
The city schools opened again last
Monday morning. Prof. Bell being un-
able to teach, Mr.. H. H. Dobbs was
substituted.
Some farmers are yet engaged in
drilling wheat. 1t is rather late but
will be in as good shape as any as but
little has made start so far.
Tom Mallory is out with a petition
asking for the appointment of postmas-
ter at Hoisington. A number of others
have their eye on the plum.
From the Blade.
! 1t ought to be law that the winning
parties should not be allowed to ratify.
The first question asked when two
republicans meet is, 'sHow much did
you Loser"
] Two new squires were in town Satur-
day-Judge Leroy Thompson and
Judge Henry Smith.
| The three democratic members of
the next legislature will name the next
United States senator from Kansas.
There are several prospective cand1-
dates for postmaster in this city. A. H.
Baker, T. E. Mallory, w. E. Looney,
L. M. Kniseley and A. M. McCauley
are mentioned.
1t makes an'editor smile to have some
man drop in and stop his paper on ac-
count of politics. 1t shows the small
ness of madman's calibre, and makes
no difference with the paper.
There are interesting groups in all
the stores of evenings now discussing
the recent alleged election. It IS one
| fine point of the American character
that it has plenty of spring in it, and
soon gets out of depressed state and
back to the normal condition of cheer
fulness.
The music has arrived and the par
ticipants are hard at work for the COM
ing musical entertainment to be given
by local talent in the near future. They
have a fine selection, mostly of the
comic style, which will be a rare treat
for those who admire good music well
rendered.
