From the Selma Telegram.

From the Selma Telegram. Matt Mynor, of The Age-Herald Is all right Of he did shake up a few old sleepy towns and poke sarcasm at men of parts. Every fellow he touched, may be in a measure faftered, for he has brought too big game to the skinning pole to fool with tomttts and jack rab- bits.
 Matt Mynor is a man of splendid per- sonality, great independence, good hearted and an all-round man.
 He would not stoop to mean act in print or elsewhere. The troubls is he has struck out, pioneered amid the moss and ant.quated customs that are part of southern newspaper custom and ev- cry bumblebee has bumbled at his sa- tire and pungent humor. Matt Mynor is doing something original in journal ism, just as other brainy men do-no- tably Charlie Knickerbocker In New York club life

"Why, he has more sense than any dog
in the country. His name really ought

getting old. He has been a most en;hus-

the burning buildings with us fellows,

he stops short looks up at us and says,

The firemen take pleasure in showing off

They give a rope with the dog every

WILL BREED FINE STOCK
Grant Hatfield Purchases Fine Horse
With Record.

Everybody TO his calling says an
old saw, and in applying the addage our
townsman, Grant Hatfield, is conspici-
Gus as horse fancier. He takes 10 blood
ed horses as duck takes 10 water. He
was never known to own or tolerate
scrub. and he has progressed along the
line of equine excellence during all kinds
of SEASONS and good or tough times. His
latest venture was the purchase a few
days ago of Egmont Chief, No. 10,903,
with a stallion record of 2:24H, made
over heavy track to a high grade
sulky. He bought the horse from Judge
A. w. DenniSon of Ell Dorado, paying a
good round sum for him. Egmont
Chiefs record is no criterion as 10 his
speed, for ne has made many quarters
in PIP. The stock is famous, this horse
being sired by Egmont, No. 1928, the sire
of the famous Lobasco, who has a record
of 2:1014. dam Lady Frankfort by Frank
fort Chief. Lady Frankfort is the dam
Of two in the list, Arthur Wright, No.
2S.495 is the stable companion of Egmont
Chief, and the two stee3s are prizes of
which Mr.. Hatfield may feel justly
proud. The lovers of fine horses will
hear from Mr.. Hatfield's stables during
the coming season, and all who know
Grant will rejoice in any success ne may
achieve with Egmont and Arthur.

EVIDENCES OF AN EARLY SPRING
The Phenomenal Weather of Yesterday
Brought Them Out.

The weather yesterday was really too
fine for February. The wasps were out
buZZing aruond and so were the butter
flies. which latter remark applies strictly
TO the ladies, who thronged the sidewalks
in twos, in sections, in platoons, in COM
pan!es. regiments and brigades. There
was more Kansas loVeliness on the
streets than has appeared for months,
and more than has ever appeared in
many other cities larger than Wichita.
There is something in the atmosphere of
this region that conduces 10 the develop
ment, heath and beauty OF womanhood.
Carthage, Mo, claims to be the Athens
of America, but Wichita leads her sew
eral laps when il comes to lovely women.
There were other indications Of approach
ing spring. Great punches Of wild ducks
were hung out at the game markets, and
the liquid notes of the plover We're heard
overhead. More than all these, indicating
an early spring, was the number of per-
sons who wendell their way 10 the parks
with fishing tackle TO angle for carp and
catfish; and down around the horse mar
ket the neigh of the high-headed equine
could be heard above the fog-horn voice
Of Bremen, the auctioneer.

which occurred in 1892. The day will be
observed in many ways in this city.
The school children will remember il
as being their first holiday since the
Christmas holidays. The stores, banks
and offices will nearly al be closed, and
the clerks. stenographers and bookkeep-
ers will be off duty. There are few VINO

offices will be open part Of the day, the
mail carriers will work until noon, the
railroad men will near,y all work as
usual, save some Of those in che offices.
But there are few people whom nothing
relieves from duty. No matter what
happens, the newspapers must be publish
ed every day and no circumstance. no
anniversary. no casualty can occur
which can stop it, save humiliation Of
the force of night workers and the demo-

central telephone station and police head
quarter also never relax upon the work
for anything, and with these three the
greater the holiday the greater the work.

elected 10 office without party policies,
political paiaver or pie counter. The
Young Peoples society Of st. Johns

promises 10 be the banquet in the even
ing which will be given to the local order
of the Daughters of the Revolution" al
the residence Of Mr.. Charles Davidson by
the order of Sons of the Revolution" Of
this city.
This affair promises to be very happy
one indeed as there is to be presentation
made during the evening which will be
very pretty, Appropriate and historical in
more ways than one. The banquet will
be very appropriate affair, given by a
colonial societys upon the anniversary Of
the colonial times.
