The initial number of the Graham
County Gem, published at Hill City,
reached our exchange table last Sat-

paper, and we wish its editor, Mr..

it is middle-Of-the-rOad pOp-the only
paper of the kind in western Kansas.

The school board of District No. L

1897, for the purpose of transacting
such business as needed attention at

1897. The following teachers were
selected: Principal, j. S. Dawson;
grammar, Miss Artie Hobbs; inter-
mediate, Miss Hattie J. Kirby; pri-
mary, Mrs. May Greenwood. The
matter of selecting a janitor was de-
ferred for the present.
G. N. Gibson takes charge of the

will be kept at the same old place as
occupied by Mr.. Davis. We have no
doubt that the patrons Of the Office
will continue to receive excellent SER
vice at the hands of the new admin
istration. And just here we wish to
late incumbent, A. J. Davis. During
his term of almost four years service
he has been worthy, painstaking
officer. He has been assisted by Mrs.
Davis, and together they have sue
ceeded in rendering such service as
has given entire satisfaction.
| L. NJ. YOst is the name of a miller
and wheat buyer at Hays City who
does not like to do business with the
local bank, so he has built a vault at
his mill and put big safe in it and
proposes to handle his business on a
cash basis. AS a starter he sent to
the national treasury at Washington
and got S5, 900 in silver. The govern
ment is so anxious to get rid of the
silver piled up in it's waits that it pays
the express charges for anyone who
will take it, and YOSt thus saved the
charges he would have been compelled
to pay if he had procured currency
from bank. But the men who are
compelled to take silver in pay for
wheat are very much put out about
it. One man had to lug home 1877 sill
yer dollars the other day and it pretty
near wore out his team. Ellis county
gave 500 majority for free sill
yer last fall, and it is to be hoped
that Miller Yost will give the people
an object lesson that will last them
forever.-Topics in Kansas City Jour
