closely the roots Of the wheat and
inds them in a healthy condition.
The ground is wet from surface mois-
ture as deep as six feet, and the mOis-
ture frOm'belOw connects and practl-
cally makes the earth wet "clear
down." The farmers are exhuberant
with JOY over the prospects, aud the
year '97 will bring forth many bles-
sings to the KansanS who have braved
the low cycle years and pinned their
firm faith in the Sunfower state
Daily Journal.
W. A. Rem drove to Mayfeld last
week and took occasion to notice
particularly the wheat along the
road. He reports that at present the
wheat is in the finest condition posi-
Bile. Some wheat that had been sown
just before the heavy rain had been
slightly damaged by the freeze that
followed a few weeks latter, but the
excellent weather we have been hav.
ing has brought it out wonderfully,
and in Mr.. Renn's opinion the pros
poets for an abundant crop were
never better.
Twenty.fOur years ago Thursday at 3
o'clock, George R. FultZ rode an old
blind horse into Wellington and cast
his lOtamOng those Of US who were here
at that time. He found about $50
people here and the town began to
grow steadily and prosperity came and
went. Mr.. Fultz has made and lost
many fortunes dealing 10 Sumner
county real estate, but his faith in
Kansas is yet mistaken. He thinks
the prospects for an abundant year 10
Kansas are as fiattering as he ever
knew them. The real estate men are
especially hopeful Of the outlook.
DR.. j. H. Franklin is in receipt of a
letter from Webb, who is in Warren
county, Kentucky, twelve miles from
Bowling Green, residing with his
uncle. He expects to remain there
the coming summer, where he now
holds the position of secretary of the
Franklin School House Sabbath
school. We understand he contem.
plates entering a theological seminary
next year. If "DOc" ever makes up
his mind that he is a mattO.d and
wants congregation in Wellington
the Journal will use its superior in
huence in gathering a flock for him
that will outshine all other churches
in point of numbers and arlstOCratiC

Lyman Naugle'S letters to the
Journal during his recent trip tC
Pot Arthur have attracted more
than usual attention. Exchanges
throughout Kansas, Missouri and Ok
lahoma have paid fattering compli
ments to them. And now comes the
PittSburg & Cult railroad, with al
offer of handsome sum to him fol
several thousand circulars containing
his write-up of Port Arthur and its
environments. Mr.. Naugle certainly
should feel proud of his efforts along
that line. The Journal has made
further arrangements with the Judge
to continue his interesting commuDi
cations from Port Arthur. He ex
poets to leave for that place AGAR
about Tuesday next, and Journa
readers will hear from him AGAR
some time next week, when he viii
