NEIGHBORHOOD HAPPENINGS.
ELLINWOOD.

ELLINWOOD.
From the Advocate.
Mrs. Charles Bacon, who has been
belfast for nine months, is able to be
out again.
Meadow larks and other spring birds
gladden. our hearts with their sweet
songs, and herald the approach of
spring.
Oscar Meyer is getting ready to erect
a machine hall and warehouse and will
in about month put ia full stock of
implements.
The Emporia Republican saws demo-
Gratis never 60 to heaven. If it means
to insinuate that only republicans go
there, that is sufficient excuse alone to
justify democrats and all intelligent
people going elsewhere.
Charles Willms was down to Kansas
City this week with car load of cattle
for himself and w. H. Grant of the
south side. He says he never saw so
many fat cattle in Kansas City at one
| time as he did this trip, due, he says
to good prices and approaching assess
ment seasons.
When all of the college students who
attend the G. n. c. at Great Bend
from this vicinity get off the train in
this city, as they generally do every
Saturday evening, one sees an i'm
mense aggregation of intelligence.
There are nearly twenty students in
attendance from Ellinwood and sur
rounding vicinity.
The committee of st. Peter and
Paul's church, Lakin township, Bar
ton County, is now ready to receive
sealed bids for the erection of a new
brick church. Plans and specifications
may be seen at residence of Rev. Leon
ard Epp, Ellinwood. Bids MUS be in by
March 1st. The committee reserves
the right to reject any and all bids.
| CLAFLIN.
From the Banner
A number of nice residences will be
built in Claf1ln this spring.
Miss Dodge, of Great Bend, is Wis
iting relatives and friends in this city
for few weeks
Steve Kelley, the alliance apostle of
State Center, is the father of young
lady who took up her residence with
him last week.
One of the chief c0pcerns OF the
farmer should be to see that all things
about his farm have sufficient shelter.
This applies not only to all animals but
also to all implements. Where there is
an insufficient shelter the yearly loss to
the farmer in one way and another will
figure up fair interest on the money
invested in live stock and machinery
Itomakes one exceedingly tired to
hear people and papers censuring indi-
viduals for attending theatres and
shows just because they happen to
belong to church. IF one has got to
continually wear blue smile with a
black fringe, in order to be good, HEAVIER
| won't be IS beautiful as most of us
had hoped it was. IF a show is
immoral no respectable citizen ought
to patronize it, but we cannot see why
a christian should not attend and enjoy

Thy rising sun,
Thou day forever bright
With freedoms holy light
That gave the world the sight
OF Washington
Unshaken mid the storm,
Behold that noble form
That peerless one
With his protecting hand,
Like freedoms angel, stand.
The guardian OF our land
Our Washington
Traced there in lines OF light
Where all pure rays unite.
Obscured by rone-
Brightest on history's page.
OF any cline or age.
AS chieftain, man and sage,
Stands Washington
Name a. which tyran1s pale.
And their proud IegiOns quail
Their boast;ng done,
While freedom lifts her head
No longer flIed with dread,
Her sons to victory led
BY Washington
Now the true patriot see,
The foremost OF the free,
The victory won,
In freedoms presence bow,
While sweetlT smiling now
She wreathes the spotless brow
OF Washington
Then, with each coming year,
Whenever shall appear
That natal sun,
Will we attest the worth
OF one true man to earth,
And celebrate the birth
OF Washington

The revival meeting at the Evangel-

day evening, but little interest having
| attended the meetings.
We are compelled to give our read
ers but half sheet this week Owing
to collections coming SO terribly slow,
we have been unable to meet all of our
current expenses.
We note the fact that quite num-
Der of the boys in the Bend. and also
in this city, are using the Kelley cure
for tobacco. DIR. Kelley is liable to
knock the tobacco and cigar trade.
Well, let'r knock.
J. r. Baker hasn't got near as pleas
ant smile on his face, as one would
imagine he would have after new
addition to his family, but Jake was
disappointed this time. He had made
large calculations for boy, but cal
culations don't always count in mat
tiers of this kind, especially on Santa
Fee Ave.
