ord TO be proud off,
II. Il. Walling < Son have sold the
Caldwell Journal to MeSsrs. Wells
& Greeening. We do not know what
kind of paper the new firm expects
to publish or where they are from.
1T would be hard matter TO tell
who has gone to the Strip. We could
much easier tell who has not gone"
says the Conway Springs Star and
this week it is just the same way
about telling who staid and who
came back.

While at DR.. Smiths dental Office
last week we noticed his new scheme
of gold filling for teeth. He has the
most magnificent Office we have ever

Noah Shelhamer, Of Conway
Springs, has growing in his yard a
pear tree on which fifteen large pears
matured about two weeks ago and
the same tree is now in full bloom.
Last year this same tree bore fruit
twice. The second crop, however,
did not mature. Frost came when
the fruit was about as large as Quail's
eggs.
Sol Miller should come to Sumner
county to find the answer TO his ques-
tiOn ''where is the old-fashiOned wOm-
en- who gives quilting parties?" The
Belle Plaine Ne1CS this week says "a
quilting party was at the home of
Mrs. MOgle yesterday. About dozen
ladies were present. Until mercury
falls considerably, quilts will be more
ornamental than useful"
The ArgOnia Clipper tells us that
d. A. Lewis has probably made as
good a record wheat raising this
year as any other farmer in that To-
cality. He had IS acres on f. NJ.
Sumpter's farm, 32 of which was the
May variety, and made an average OF
23i bushels per acre, and 40 bushels
of White Russian that made 26i
bushels to the acre. lie had 2S acres
of White Russian on his own farm
that made l6 bushels to the acre.
The latter was sown late, which he
thinks caused the small yield.
Our old friend, ]. ID. Simpson who
resides three miles west Of the city,
met with quite mishap last Thurs
day. While shoyeling coal out OF a
car on the sidetrack near the depot
into his wagon, his team became
frightened and started to run away.
He jumped from the car to catch
them, striking the ground with such
force as to badly sprain his ankle and
terribly bruise his feet. He has been
unable to walk for several days on
account Of his injuries.-Conway
Springs Star.
The entertainment given last Fri
day nigh by Miss Belle Waynick and
her classes in elocution and physical
culture, assisted by other local talent,
was pronounced by the audience to
be very good. Very few entertain
ments ever given in the city have
been so fayorably spoken Of. The ex-
ercises were carried out according
to the program given a few weeks
ago, except few minor changes:
