1T WAS CHEAP.

Tho Old bachelor Concluded That He
Was Get,iny = Great bargain.
When man mikes q fortunate deal
he is happy. II matters not whether
he is engaged In busin rs tn It is safe
or whether he INDUCES in games Of
chance or buys tickets in the Lou
isiana or matrimonial lottery. And
when a man is happy he wants others
to rejoice with him. And this Is what
led the clerk Of court to tell re-
porter the following:
A German, q bachelor. about 80
years old, came into the Office with q
broad smile on his face aud asked for
a marriage license. After the paper
was made out the German took out
his pocket-booS to pay for 1t, and
when the amount was named the
happy man exclaimed:
.Zwei tollar ind holt; mein
grashious, but dot wos sheap.'
~ was Surprised" said the clerk,
.'for some fellows will grimble ut
paying the legal price Of q document,
even OF this nature, but l said
nothing"
"Yah, mynher, dot was sheap; for

"Yes."
"Und dem shildrens-"
"Yes"
"Ein goot home"
"Yes."
"All desc tings for zwei tollar und

The amused clerk. as the old man
turned to go, EXTENDED the usual con-
gratulations, and wished him u long
life in which to enjoy the pos'essions
he was soon to acquire.

A Kansas correspondent says:
met business man a few days ago
from Grenola, Kansas. He was tell
ing me of farmer who came into
his store three years ago last fall.
and, on paying his bill, made the
remark that there was mortgage
of $1,000 on his farm and he was go
ing to let 1t go. The business man
said: 1T will be the greatest mis-.
take of your life If you do" But"
said the farmer, "what can l Go
without money!" The business man
gave him this advice: "Quit haul
ing your grain to town Keep away
from the banks and loan agents.
You can buy two or three hogs.
Make an effort OH what little money
you have" The farmer went out
and as time passed on the business
man thought no more about him.
Last December the farmer bought
wagon of him and as he laid down
the money for it said: do you re-
member what you said to me three
years ago. Today go home owing
no man dollar. That $1,000 mort
gage is paid, have 500 in the bank
and fifty.four head of hogs at home.
My own experience has taught me
this: We try to get along too fast
at times: II is better to go slow than
make a mistake. If we feel that the
time has come for us to give up. let
us face about. We can buy two or
three hogs, five or six sheep and in
few years see where we are. l am
running everything on my farm on
the cash plan. When want any
thing, If haven't the money. wait
till get it; then am the owner. j
know it seems slow, but l am not
going to lie awake nights thinking
how l am going to get what have
bought paid for. Am / right, my
brother farmers: l will see, ii l
live, as the years go by

1t is a pleasing sight to see the
immense wagon loads of wheat
rolling into town, to be garnered
until the owner shall feel justified
to throw il on the market. 1t is evil
dence of a substantial wealth that
is universal in Cherokee county. II
was predicted some time ago that
the wheat this year would be won
derful, but il seems that the half
has not been told. Not only is the
wheat the finest quality ever raised
in Cherokee county, but it is going
from twenty-five to forty-five bush
els per acre, about twice the average
yield. If wheat il sold this year at
only 80 cents per bushel. on account
of the increase II will be equal to a
dollar bushel, the top notch price
that the farmer sometimes dreams
has come again. If the govern
ment reports can be relied on that
that the crop of the United Statesis
two hundred millions of bushels
short of last year, there is some
reason to believe there will be at
least slight advance in price. The
corn, too, is immense and promises
to yield abundantly. The rains of a
week ago Sunday were just the
thing and beyond any question as
sure a good portion of the crop.
Cherokee county seems especially
favored this year.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 4.
CONFIDENCE RETURNING.

The last few weeks have seen
quite restoration of confidence in
business circles. The money mar:
ket seems to be getting easier in
the East and in the European coun-
tries and II is believed that before
many more weeks shall have passed
money will be in great demand by
parties who wish to increase their
stocks or start their bushes going
again.
Congress has done little or moth
ing toward inspiring confidence in
the hearts of the American people,
but the day of reckoning will come
later on. 1t is only the superior
judgment and strong will power OF
the American people that has pre-
vented n panic that would have
been widespread in it's scope OF dis
aster. In any other country in the
world terrible panic would have
resulted.
But thanks to kind providence
Southeastern Kansas has passed
through the financial stringency
with hardly a scratch. Its people
have attended to their business as
though nothing had happened and
as consequence the clouds in this
section are beginning to brighten
up considerably.
The wheat and oats crop just har-
vested is the biggest in the history
of this vicinity and the corn crop
will, if nothing happens, be too big
for the cribs. If the prices of these
cereals will only go up little the
majority of farmers will be able to
pay off their indebtedness and have
something left for their seasons
work.
There is no denying the fact thai
Southeastern Kansas, and especial
~ that portion Immediately sur
rounding Baxter Springs, is the
garden spot of the West. Its natur
al advantages are not surpassed by
any locality in the world. With
cheap fuel right at our doors and
the best soil in the West we ought
to be and are happy, and don't you
forget it.
There will be a great influx Of
people to this vicinity from the
East this summer and we should
by all means try and induce them
to locate right here in this vicinity
Send your friends in the East a
copy of the News that they may be
able to form different opinion OF
this country.
If nothing happens the NEWS
may publish big edition before
long. If so couple of thousand
copies will be sent East.

There Is more catarrh in this sec

with local treatment, pronounced 1t
