A Great Bargin
For Sale on Liberal Terms
and Payments,
Or Will Trade For Good Farm
Property.

AS we have decided to build a large
mill at Coffeyville, Kansas, and will
move much of the machinery now IN
our mill here to C~Offeyville, we Will
necessarily have to leave in our present
mill here many of Machines and the
Mill Building and Elevator. We offer
them for sale or trade. This is a fine
opportunity for any II desiring to EN-
bark into a nice, profitable mill at a
small cost, as we will only take out
and move our larger machines and
machinery, and will leave the Mill
Building and Elevator standing, with
about enough Wheat Cleaning Ma
chinery, BOlls and holtlng Chests, SO
that with additional machinery and
small cost a good frst-class 2O0-barrel
mill and corn meal mill can be equip
ped. We have not the time to devote
to both mills, hence we offer a great
bargain to the first one who comes. We
can show any n desiring to purchase
or trade that they can make money.
Possession given at once, as we will
soon move to COffeffville.
We would join in with the proper
persons and take stock if desired.

To the Editor of the Intelligencer.
We now propose something more in
addition to what we wrote in a previous
issue of the INrELLIGENCER in regard to
our intelligent people, and then we Will
subside into silence for many months and
weeks. We wish to mention a few more
of our cultured people before we come to
such close.

We have, with him, M. f. Reinhardt,
Lawyer Whitsett, Judge Harrison, an in

TUE ,NTEILIGENCER's FIGURING.

THE INTELLIGENCER'S FlduhlNo'
In these days of political figuring
and convention forecasts, we do not
see any reason why the INTELLIGENcER
should not do a little figuring, too.
Figuring on things i'll the future IS a
game all of us who read the papers
can play. We will make the INTELLI-
GENcER move on the blackboard OF
convention figures now, and give here
with q table of the votes as we believe
thew will stand in the convention
There is no law against every one OF
our political enemies cutting them out'
and If we are two or three hundred
votes wrong they can tell us about 1t
"a often as possible. We claim two
things for them:
First-They give a larger majority
10 the silver forces in the national con-
yention than we nave yet seen IN print;
and,
Second-They are original.
We don't use a doubtful column,
because we have always failed to see
the practicabilIty of such an instltu-
ton. Guessing is guessing, and there
IS no need of putting a guess down IN
a column where additional doubt Will
be gwen to it.
We have no political record that can
be torn down by figuring on national
politics. This fact borne in mind VIII
convince any one that onr figures are
Just as likely to be right as those Of
some fool politician who is running FOL
governor or senator, and who, if he
makes a bad break in figures, will be
counted a poor politician The follow
ing table is our guess at the job. Ii
we have missed it there a be ne
great harm done:
