Our Grant correspondent is on deck This

has several correspondents that should send
in items. We would like more country
correspondence. 1t is an inter st to every
neig hborhood to be represented in the
county local paper.
We hear travelingmPn say quite frequently
that GnOdland not only does more business
than any town west of Salina, but that thew
can enjoy themselves better here, as Good
land is more like city than the grave wards
that call themselves towns, and would like
10 pose as rivals of Gosdldnd.
Our county attorney, Hoyt Andrews, has
made a record the last term of court for
making convictions of law breakers. He has
used no unfair means or tfickerV to convict,
or implicate anyone, but has done all in a
fair and impartial manner. He has won
the respect and confidence of all by his
earnestnesS and honesty and should he wish
the Office of prosecuting attorney again he
can get it.
The brick industry here has a prospect OF
reaping Il harvest this season providing the
building rGdIinues as it promises to do
The Masonic Temple. the MilliSack block
aud other buildings will be erected. We un-
derstand that the new machine turned out
l 800 brick in one day. G. p. Russell and
j. B. Mourning have the plant in operation
and expect to supply the damand for first
class brick ut reasonable rates. All new
business places should be built of brick.
Friday morning when court convened, the
jury i'll the Fitzgerald Brown case haYing
reached decision of guilty of assault anC
battery, the Judge pronounced sentence
upon them. The court said that he con.
sidered the verdict compromise one, anC
that considering the evidence he believed
the d efendantS guilty of assault with intent
to kill, but that he could not give them
sentence they deserved. ThereupOn the
judge gave Fitzgerald six months in tht
county Jail, and Brown 60 davs and $50 fine
This is lighter than they expected them
selves, or at least ought o have expected.
GOodiand has reason to be proud of her
self. Heretofore we have been won't t.
crow over Colby, who has been aspiring Il
put herself in the same class as this city
Hereafter we will ignore these pretension a.
unworthy of attention, just the same as
Mastiff would the onslaught of Terrier
Now we will go down the road and crow
little over Norton. Under the same condi
tons and the same kind of fight that Good
land had, Norton pOlled 237 votes, while
GOodland polled 4S7, or more than to
than Norton. GoOdland had 80 more vote!
that could have been put in if they would
have been needed, or could have changed
the result any. Great indeed is GOodland
the mighty city of the plains.
When the colored man, John Gle mons
was called up for sentence, his attorney, E
S. Knight, filed a motion to set aside tht
verdict and order new trial, but such clap
trap that did not go with His Honor

superstition that seeing that the prosecuting
witness had been indicted for running
gambling house. the other witnesses would
not tell the truth, rs the one thing they
feared was to be arrested for participating
in the unlawful OaSfime of gambling Thu
