C)affin is the best local market in
central Kansas. It generally paws
from one to three cents more for
wheat than any of the neighbcring
towns and sells goods considerably
cheaper. Under such circumstances
any town cannot help building up
good trade.

l. was very gratifying to us to lear
of the election OF j. b. Wigton
and Fl. II. Boyle for trustees
OF Grant aud Albion townships
respectively. We have known
these two gentlemen some years,
and have enjoyed their friend
ship, and we know them to be true
and incorporating democrats
Though they are young, they are
we'll versed in politics, well able to
socks off any gold bug. We CON
graduate them on the trust imposed
upon them by the people of their
locality. The trustee and clerk of
our (Clarence) township are also
young men, who. having served one
term, were reelected this fall with
larger majoritles than last year.
Truly it was a young mems year In
Clarence. We are glad to see the
young men take an active part in
county affairs. and hope that through
their effort it will eventually become
possible to throw off this yoke of
oppression and tyranny which the
plutocracy has put upon the lahOring
class of this country. Let our motto
be: Meyer give up" and keep the
fight up until people will tire of this
Hanna-erratic government and think
of it as past bad dream. and until
the glorious sunshine of genuine
prosperity will be in every home of
the land.

Last Saturday was a gay day in
this burg.
The Speck boys won lots of turkeys
at the shoot.
G. s. Emery and lady went to the
county seat on business last Saturday.
They had a picnic over in Grant
the other day, at which there was a
fight. black eye and devil of a
time generally.
Smed Wilkinson comes over to
Olmitz occasionally these days. Tell
the boys how 1t all happened Smed;
you ought to know.
Esq. Speck, of Grant township,
drove to the county seat last Friday,
and on his way home one of his
horses took SICK and had to be left at
farm house on the way.
We learn that Adam Hejny has
been notified by the county clerk of
his election to township clerk Of
Grant How is this, is there not a
mistake in the man? Was not Frank
Schwartz elected to that office?
Blythe way that boy trustee of
Grant township, who it was claimed
could not get men on his bonds,
succeeded on first trial in securing
two substantial ones in the persons of
Messrs. Nordman and Brack, of this
town.
The turkey shoot here last Satur-
day was well attended by the marks
men of this vicinity. Some got
gobblers, some got hens, and some
went home minus cash. Better buy
your Thanksgiving roast, it is the
cheapest way.
The teacher employed to teach the
school in Dist. So had to give up the
school on account of failure in getting
certificate at the last county ex-
animation. The moral of this should
teach all school boards never to EN-.
ploy teachers until they present a
legal document to teach as our laws
require.
Mr.. Adolph Hampel is erecting
large and commodious cattle barn on
his farm in Grant. Mr.. Hampel is
an energetic and persevering farmer,
and generally makes 60 in whatever
he undertakes to do. It is said this
barn when completed will be one of
the finest barns of it's kind In our
county. Mr.. Dunning, noted ex-
pert at stone building, has the con-
tract of building.
Over in WheatIand there lives man
Who has lots of grit well mixed with sand,
free silver man he is to- day
The morrow he Is some other way.
His ambition is as all must know,
To get fat Office. and into 1T go,
Fol- party principles he don't a snap
If he can only succeed tn Office cap.
This man has first a republican been.
AS many Barton county voters have seen,
He with a cuss the repubh cans quit:
Next with democrats he tried to work in,
With a smile on his face or a sim pering grin,
But the Denis. being wise in his peculiar art,
Gave him shove that made him depart.
And next for the Pop. party you all know
This ounce seeker with a run he did go,
And tw tried but failed to succeed,
Which caused his feathers to droOp indeed.
And silver all know the rest,
How at last election to beat us he did his best
But hereafter it will be truthfuIy said
He without party principle is politically dead.
This lesson teaches, I'd have all holters see,
It's best to our party always loyal to be,
And if others de what we think not right
Don't cut off our noses our faces to spite,

From the Advocate
Some things are easier done than
others. Running newspaper is one
of the others.
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Hammer re-
turned last Friday evening from a
short visit among relatives IN Ohio.
When an unpaid for piano enters
the front door the music of that house
hold fees through the back door.
A number of Joe Koemark's many
friends gathered at his home west Of
town Sunday and a good time was en-
ioyed by all.
John Dick, jr., had the misfortune
to fall last Monday thereby breaking
his left wrist and causing him to
carry bis hand in sling. i.
Theo. Dick, of Silverton, Colorado,
came in last week on visit to his
brothers, John and Matt. and his
mother, who is here from Cederburg,
Wis.
Henry Bose threshed $500 bushels
of wheat fer the Ludwig boys this
year. This is the largest single job
threshing in this part of the county.
VIM. Jung, who some years ago
tired of Kansas and went to Wisconsin,
has returned with his family and will,
in all probability, engage in his old
profession, that of a barber.
What hopes can the wheat raiser
have if it takes one of the most dread
full famines known to history in our
principal comparative country to force
the price of that cereal to only 80
cents per busheI? A famine like the
one from which poor, suffering India
liz just now emerging, be it graciously
said, happens but once in century.
The laws regulating great nation
like this ought to be such that it would
not be necessary for it to depend upon
the misfortunes of poor sister nation
for its measure OF prosperity.

British government upon the Venezuelan
