Barber county is the seventy third
county in the state in population. 1t
is reported to have 1884 square miles
of territory which if spread out would
make probably 1900 square miles. The
finest cements made out of gypsums
manufactured in the United States is
made in Barber county and their is
enough gypsum in the county to supply
the world until the angel shall stand
with one foot in the Arkansas valley
and the other in the gulf of Mexico
and proclaim that time shall be no
more. This county also has the larg-
est sorghum sugar mill in the world.
The county has more statesmen in pro-
portion to the population than any
place out side of Washington City. II
also contains the champion picturesque
and monumental liar west of the Mis-
sissippi river.-Kansas Breeze.

L. a. Ely & Co. are laying in a large
supply of queensware and fall and Win
ter goods, this week. Their reasons
for doing this is the prospect of prices
advancing this fail. Mercantile men
predict rise IN prices, especially in
clothing the coming fall and winter
and this firm has decided to lay in a
large stock before the rise. If their
judgment is correct, it will be great
help to the firm in taking this step;
they will then be enabled to sell their
fall goods at the old price which 1t is
needless TO say, will draw custom.

epidemics of dysentery in different
parts of the country in which Cham

Remedy was used with perfect success.
Dysentery. when epidemic, is almost
as severe and dangerous as Asiatic
cholera. Heretofore the best efforts OF
the most skilled physicians have failed
to check its ravages, this remedy, how
ever, has cured the most malignant
cases, both of children and adults, and
under the most trying conditions

Friday evening, in honor of their son.
Lester. Despite the threatening ap-
pearance of the celestial dome our
young enthusiasts were determined to
take advantage of Mr.. and Mrs. Simp-
sons hospitality and accordingly two
wagon loads and several single rigs
took the road at $50. Now Friday
night was an exceptionally dark one
which, added to the fact that one of the
wagons was drawn by frisky span of
young mules. made the hearts of the
passengers leap to their threats. The
cunning equines found the lowest level
as well as the highest summit of the
seeming irregular roadside but this did
not serve to overcome the pluck of the
heroes and hcroines of the company,
though some, it must be admitted, fire.
quently expressed a desire to tighten
the burdens of the mules by walking.
The privilege was granted in a few
instances but for the most part, was
overruled until finally all arrived safely
at the Simpson ranch at 1890. Dane
ing and numerous games and refresh
ments were the order of the evening
and all were royalty entertained. The
guests began departing at about ]
O'Clock and wendell their way toward
town. this time through heavy rain
which continued during the night.
Everyone reached home between the
hours of $3.50 and 7:3O Saturday morn
ing and none reported lost. Notwith.
standing these small impediments, al
say they had pleasant time which
they VIII long remember. Mrs. Simp
