Hon. Lee Monroe, OF Wa-Keeney, was
in town Monday evening between
trains. He claims to have the inside
track for the republican nomination for
Judge in this district.
Petitions are being circulated in Wall
lace county asking the commissioners to

for permanent county seat. Sharon
Springs viii probably be chosen without
opposition.
A. Lawson, of Trego county, has re-
ceived notice that his final proof had
been rejected for the reason that one of
his witnesses signed his name different
ly from the way it appeared in his no.
tice of publication.
W. L. Miller, day operator at the tel
egraph Office, left Monday evening for
Imports to attend a family reunion.
Charlie Priestley, of Wa-Keeney, is fill
ing his place.
Hon. w. F. King, of Trego county,

Jack Buchanan has gone to work for

Farmers have commenced their spring

Bruce Furbeck says he is going to
break up quarter section this spring.
1t was not span of mules that Will
Caskey traded W. A. Eppler, but it was
a span of mares.
School did not commence as we stated
week before last. The teacher was here,
but on account of the bad roads, some
objected to having school.
As we were in the hub last week we
met the esteemed contemporary editor
of the Omniiack and, from his symptoms,
he must be in dangerous condition,
having been taking very i'll with cramp
collie in his head on November 7th.
We are glad to learn that our friend
Lee Monroe is candidate for judge of
this district. Lee is fully worthy and
well qualified for the office, and one of
Trego county's best citizens, and we
don't think this district can find a
better man for Judge than Mr. Monroe.
