Another contingent of negroes arriv-
ed last week. They refused employ
ment offered them by several farmers,
saying they wanted to work on the sec
ton. Most of them have been piloted
to Lake City.
For the coming week meetings are set
as follows: AT sun City, on Friday, the
23rd; at Deerhead, on Saturday, the
oath; at Aetna, on Tuesday, the 9th;
at Eldred. in Elwood township, on
Wednesday, the 29th.
1t is but just to the opposition.
though we do not expect equally fair
| treatment, to say that Mr.. Ed Samples
meeting at Sharon was well attended
in spite of the storm. Many peoples
party voters east of Sharon did not
know of the change of time of their
meeting; but Sharon people listen to all
sides of the question.
The central committee of the peoples
party met Saturday with large attend
ance and completed the work of map
ping out the campaign. Among other
things grand rally was set for the 18th
| Of October, at Medicine Lodge. Com
mitteemen will please take notice of
the dates of their meetings, and see
that the announcement is duly adYer-
tised in their respective precincts.
Barber county is to be congratulated
on the steady increase in our popula-
ton which is going on, and Medicine
Lodge shows unmistakable signs of i'm
prOvement. Not that we are erecting
any costly buildings, but that the de-
mand for residence property is becom-
ing larger than the supply. Under such
conditions real estate must begin to
look up.
The INDEX has given some space to
the temperance ladies, reseryIng the
right to withdraw it when otherwise
crowded. Although we do not come up
to the ideas of some of our reverends,
who, we are pleased to say, know more
about their own business than the edit
Vr's, and print every great sermon on
fOuT-page paper, we believe in giving
representation to all local classes re-
CARELESS of belief and within the bound
Of reason.
The meeting at Kiowa. on Saturday I
night, was enthusiastic and encourag-
ing. Mr.. Landis' speech was well re- |
ceived by a crowded house. Concern
ing the slurs thrown at HIM by Mr.. |
Sample, Mr.. Lands said ne was not |
there TO make apologies for anything 10 /
any man, and he certainly did not feel /
called upon to defend himself against
the charges of man who did not haze, !
bad never had, and probably would not |
have any moral standing in any com |
munity.
Some of our friends have expressed !
their opinion that our editorial oppo. I
nent lied about the Sons of Gideon. /
Now, in defense of our editorial Oppo- |
nent we wish to say that he only used a
figure OF speech, called hyperbOle. Hy-
perboie simply eXtenIates the truth,
giving il the consistency Of India rub
Der. Ilyperbole is the fruit OF All exhu-
berent imagination. This Imagination
grows 50 rank and luXuriant, by reason
of the immaculate richness of our soil
aud the unsurpassed healthfuiness of
our climate. and thus our editorial op-
ponent is living monument to stand
up for Kansas
1t is with considerable regret this
week that the INDEX announces the
loss OF one OF our force, Mir. Charley
Painter, who has gone to Pratt to Join
travelling band. Charley has been
faithful and reliable hand-one whose
habits and character are such that we
can commend him to all, and it is with
best wishes for his success In his new
footing career" and with hopes that
we may shake hands with him again oc.
easlonally that We bid him good bye
we would wax poetic and say, a fearful
good bye, but we viii leave that to his
best girl, feeling that by so doing we
are bound to see him again.
