Superintendent Mclaughlin visited
our schools Wednesday. He speaks
very highly of the manner in which
the schools are being taught. He saws
the same teachers could do much bet

in. He has visited nearly every school
in the county and will see all of them
before the term ses.-MuiCane Rec

The people of Oxford, with their
characteristic liberality, have opened
their hearts and purses to the storm
stricken people. No public meetings
have been held nor general fund Gre
ated, but our people are well acquaint-
ed with most of the sufferers and as in
dividuals are placing their aid where it
is most needed. The various Ladies'
aid societies have made clothing, COM
forts, quilts, etc, our merchants have
furnished goods and many people have
paid cash TO help the afflicted people.
All the lodges of the city either have or
will respond with cash donations

Gabe Moore and E. F. Emery arrest
ed horse thief of African persuasion
in the timber north of the city, last
Tuesday. The horse was stolen in
Winfield and notice was received that
the thief was heading this way, hence
his arrest. Sheriff Nipp and his as
SiStant came up in the afternoon and
took the thief and the horse back to
Winfield. The sheriff handcuffed the
prisoner and tied him on the horse.
That may be sign of bravery in the
sheriff, but we prefer to call it cruelty.

County Attorney Pool addressed a
good sized audience, composed of both
ladies and gentlemen, at the school
house in this city Saturday evening,
upon the question of the government
ownership of railroads. Mr.. Pool is
well posted on the railroad question,
having studied it thoroughly in all its
various phases, and prodnced some
pretty strong argument in support of
the position taken by his party on that
important question. His speech was
attentively listened to throughout and
was well received by the audience.
The glee club was present and enliven-
ed tie occasion with a couple of appro-
pirate songs, which were well rendered.

d. W. Holland sold his team and
part of his farm implements this week
and is making arrangements to remove
to Velasco, Texas, one week from next
Monday. Mr.. Holland visited Velasco
three or four weeks ago and while
there purchased twenty acres of land
adjoining the city and some lots in the
city. He expects to give his attention
to fruit culture. Mr.. Hollands main
object in moving to that country is to
benefit his health, and thinks the eli.
mate will suit him well. He is much
pleased with VelaSco's prospects.-Ar-

The agricultural department of the
Mulvane Graphic is a very interesting
feature of that paper. We have taken
many notes from that column and
here are some more good suggestions
from the same source:
Some persons may not think small
things worth fOoling with, but many
small things make great things. We
are all very anxious to have strawber
ries, raspberries, blackberries, etc.

disappointed if we fail to get them
But do you stop and consider that vol
can soon have an abundance of sucl
fruits, by using little effort to grow
them. Small fruits grow to perfection
in Kansas, and we want to see our peo
pie raising more Of them. Don't neg

There seems to be no end to the lis
of profitable crops that can be success
fully grown in Kansas. Among tn
the many valuable products Of our ric
soil, we notice castor beans, very i'm
portant article of commerce that on
country must have. The vicinities tina
have cultivated castor beans have a

they do well most every year. If 20

crop you will get. The greater variet
of crops our people raise, the surer ou
country will be of prosperity ever
