NEIeHBoRHooD HAPPENINGS.
ELLINWOOD.

| ELLINwOOD.
From the Advocate.
Here is another blessing to be enjoy
ed by democrats. Mrs Lease says she
hates them.
Great preparations are being made to
make the masquerade in this city on
the 11th the biggest social event of the
season.
The Santa Fe road went into the
hands Of the receivers just in time to
save good many of their employees.
who had not been paid for seveal
months, from doing SO.
While other towns make desperate
effort to relieve the poor, Ellinwood
went them one better, by having no
poor to care for. People living in
Elllnwood, if poor when they come,
do not long remain that way.
Henry Sprinkler has severed his con-
nection with p. B. Kimpler and will
leave on the 18th to go to Arkansas
City where he will go into large
furniture establishment. We regret
very mnch to see Henry leave US, but
we predict that he will not remain
away long.
Ferdinand KOett, an energetic
farmer living about nine miles north
east of town, had the misfortune to
break one of his legs by jumping from
a wagon one day last week. The
fracture was reduced by one of the
Ellinwood physicians, and we hope to
soon note Mr. Koett's ultimate recovery.
Another evidence of the beneficial eff
feets of good democratic city admins.
tration is maifested by the appearance
of some elegant new street lamps,
which were put in place last week
They are by far the neatest lamps the
city has ever had, and they were much
| needed as the old ones were
mostly in bad shape. Let the good
work go Oh.
In the list of Kansas creameries to
which prizes were awarded at the
Worlds Fair, We notice the names OF
two of Barton county's institutions
viz: the Eilinwood Creamery 6 Manu-.
featuring Co., and the Heller Creamery
& Manufacturing Co. Who would
have though that two institutions away
out here in Kansas, where the eastern
people think that civilization is still in
crude state. would have successfully
competed with the entire world in dairy
product? Stick another feather in fOl
Ellinwood's cap, please.
To those anxious inquirers as to
when we take charge of the post Office,
will say that perhaps before three
weeks more elapse we will be in the
Office. We cannot go in until Uncle
Sam sends US our commission and this
he has not yet done. We expect our
new cabinet in about ten days and if
the commission is here by that time we
will take charge of the Office at once.
To those that have boxes, either lock or
| call in the old outfit, we wish to say
they will be consigned the same
| numbers in the new cabinet. There
will be nearly double the number of
| lock boxes in the new outfit than there
are in the old one, and any one desiring
lock box who has not one in the pres
ent outfit can secure one by speaking
for it now.

The school board of the city very
sensibly concluded that for the pro-
lection of our homes and little ones
the city schools had not best reopen
right away, or until there is some
assurance that scarlet fever is not
spreading any more. DIR. Shaw. the
health officer, urgently advised this
precaution, and the teachers, with
one exception we understand, willing
ly agree to the proposition. We did
not suppose there was even one teach
er in the city who would object to
thus guarding the health of the
little ones. AS far as we can
learn it is not decided-at the time
We 60 to press-whether the schools
are to open Monday or not.

ETIQUETTE FOR GIRLS.

ALWAYS rise for an older person.
 IN entering room the gentleman al ways follows the young lady.
 THE young lady always seats herself first before any gentleman will do SO.
 IN making introductions the young man is always presented to the girl, never the other way round.
 IT is lady's place to recognize a gentleman first, as it depends on her whether the acquaintance continues or not.
 NEVER introduce any young man to your girl friends without first asking their permission, and then say: Miss D., I want to present tor introduce) MT. A. to you"
 IT is sufficient to acknowledge an in- troduction by simple bow, unless there is some special reason for more cordial forms. Handshaking is not good form in an introduction in ball. room.
