Mrs. E. A. Rea met with painful

w. L. Olson, f. II. Burnham, Geo. /.

disagree and Mr.. Boyd was given his
liberty.
Since modern science has fully eS-
tablished the germ theory of disease,
the value of Ayers Sarsaparilla as
purifier of the blood has been more
appreciated than ever. Not only
germs, baccilli, and microbes, but
poisons of all kinds are expelled by
this powerful medicine.
silver convention held in Topeka this
week the Sixth district was not repre-
sented. This was hardly to be ex-
pected from the district that has had
no representative in congress for the
last five years. Is it a straw? and if
so what kind of straw?
The WESTERN KANSAS WORLD
changed its heading sure this time,
and gave its reasons for so doing, no
more cowboys, Texas streers and
blatant of the sheep will be seen at
its mast head, but plain every day
heading which is nice. Cove County
Gazette.
Every Kansan can appreciate the
following rhyme on corn from the
Griffin, Ca, News:
Never since the world was born,
Was there a crop SO nice as corn,
Its tassSes are as fine as silk,
Its green stalks keeps the COWS in milk,
It's kernels dfstillions vie
In fragrance with the best of rye:
! And, when its oil der joys are ripe,
The cob is made into a pipe;
And, thinking all these virtues DER,
I'm glad Columbus sought this shore.
A letter has been received from T.
G. Blaisdell, of this county, who
drove from here last spring to the
land selected by the soldiers colony
in Georgia. Mr.. Blaisdell SAYS the
residents there claim that it is one Of
the healthieSt countries in the world
and from his own observation he is
prepared to affirm that all kind Of
produce will grow there to perfection.
In brief he is delighted with the out
| look.
Farmers were beginning to grumble
little on account of dry weather; it
wasn't so very dry but they were
afraid that it soon would be. Thurs
day evening we had a splendid rain
and now all are happy once more.
Garden truck never looked so fine in
TregO county as it does right now and
the same can be said of corn, oats,
broom corn and forage crops generally
including pastures.
| Under the new law published last
winter the county commissioners are
requested to publish a three weeks
notice fixing a time for the destruc-
tion Of all noXious weeds along public
highways. In each road district the
Overseers are charged with the re-
sponsibility of destroying such weeds
along the road and vacant land. Very
severe penalties are laid on those not
complying with the law.-Osborne
Farmer.
We suppose the Oakley Graphic and
Cove County Gazette and all other
fault-fnding journals in the Sixth dis
trict will heave sigh of relief, now
that the editor of the Wa-Keeney
WORLD has publicly announced that
from now, henceforce and forever the
old cowboy" heading that has adorn-
ed the first of that valued exchange
for the past sixteen or seventeen
years has been discarded for a neat
and tasty heading suitable to this day
and age.-Winona Clipper.
The Wa-Keeney WORLD has, after
using it over ten years, discarded its
general pictorial head. That paper
deyotes some space to explaining the
cause of this step. But the old motto,
''Stock farming the basis of our indus
tries" which only tells in words what
the head told in pictures, is retained
We don't have to leave our desk to
find the man who conceived both that
pictorial head and that motto. He is
glad that motto which tells it all in
so few words is to be retained by so
