Rev. Alt gave our Sunday School
brief address during his recent visit.
He is always welcomed by his many
friends at the Center. :. The attend
ance at our Sunday School since it has
been in charge of the Reform friends
has been very gratifying, and often
reaches sixty or more. MIR. w. j.
Stafford has made q comforta bic addi
tiOn to his house. He is expecting his
brother, of Indiana. to visit him soon.
IA friend in Sumner county writes
us that they twill have a peach crop
there" Not so here and the apple
crop is a gnarly lot a.. Misses Crowell
and Leonard arrived last week after
visit to friends in Ohio. Quite num-
Der of our farmers contemplated SOW
ing wheat this fall, but the reappear-
ance of "the old enemy", the chinch
bug, and some failures of Prof. Shows
remedy, have almost scared them out.
But we hope for more favorable fall
than last, when the spirits of the dis
cOuraged ones will revive, and that a
larger acreage than ever in Elm town
ship may be sOwn. Miss Clark and
Miss Mckee, accompanied by Mr..
Earnest Crook. friends from "NeoshO
Valley" neighborhood visited Ada
Nash. e. Mrs. Grum, of Fredonia, a
daughter of p. Hesson, is visiting in
our vicinity. The township board at
their July meeting disbursed to road
Overseers and others S80.42. y part of
the Overseers have nearly completed
their work while others have only
made a beginning. The road work
done by Mr.. Hartly, the party who
has the contract for working out the
tax of the railroad, has done more sat
isfactOry work than they usually do,
we are informed, but if we can have
all road tax collected as are other taxes
we would have that money paid out to
our own citizens for the work instead
of going to Bourbon county as it has
done ever since the railroad has trav-
ersed our township. . Several Demo-
Gratis are bOasting that they are sure
of Capt. Ewing's vote because he is ga
double first cousinn of their candidate
for vice-President. Pshaw now, we
have heard that Kansas Democrats
have no candidate i'm the field j. H.
BOatwright and his daughter, Lizzie,
went Sunday to Equity to visit friends
-. Just after dark Thursday evening
July 2Sth, Mrs. Ellis Delaplain was
bitten by some poisonous reptile sup
posed to be rattle snake, and she has
for several days suffered much from
the effects of the poison, but is now
thought to be past the danger point.
Several of our Sunday School friends
have asked the vice-president when
our township convention is to be held;
in reply he says, lit will probably be
in September, and due notice will be
givenn. The annual school meeting
resulted i'm the election of S. III. Weith
as director; the levy of eight mills, and
directions for eight months school; the
placing of blinds on the windows, and
repainting of the house.. .. In Rose
Hill district J. w. BOatwright was
elected director. . . The entertainment
by the Junior League at LaHarpe Sun
day evening, like all those given I'M
der the faithful training of Rev. CIVIL |
lin, was a gem, and if the beautiful
sentiment of love and honor for the |
flag of our country could be thus fos-
tered in the youth of our land no fears |
of rebelliOns and revolutions need be |
feared in our land . While the |
Adams boys were cutting flax their |
mules and binder ran away together, /
but the binder not being put up for |
such speed went to pieces A good |
rain Sunday reached the line one mile |
east of our school house. Our corn still |
thirsts, however, and the outlook for .
a fair crop is still hopeful. ELMITE.
