We are pleased to see this friendly
feeling existing among our churches
1t means a renewed interest in our
meetings.
Elders John Baxter and E. A. Krar-
lex were chosen by the Presbyterian
church to act for the church at the
next session of Presbytery which coz
veneS at Winfield in April.

Mr.. and Mrs. David VOtaw are visit

at the Methodist church.
Several schools in the districts sur
rounding Oxford have closed. Mrs.
Smith lnee May Van DervOrtl closed
her school short time ago and
NeSSrs. BudSeV Elrhart and Fred

concluded theirs last week.
Again, two of our young people have
been joined 10 heart and hand and

host of friends join in wishing them

J. G. Bradley acting mayor o. Ok
ford has issued his election prOClama-
ton. We suppose the election will be
tame affair, but we would suggest
that sidewalks should be the issue.
On dark night the walks Ofour town
are snare and delusion and many
there are who fall thereon.
The Sunday school convention at
Yeager chapel south Of this place was
grand success, both religiOusly and
socially. A few people from Oxford
attended the afternoon session and
their only regret was that they missed
the preceding session with its spirit
ual feast and basket dinner at noon.
Quite number of our people were
surprised to learn Of the decision of
the supreme court in reversing the
judgment Of the district court in the
case of State vs.. Mrs. DOty. At any
rate 1T is confidently hoped that Mrs.
DOty will not again dishOnOr Oxford
and Sumner county by her presence
after she is granted her liberty.
The entertainment given on Satur-
day evening by the Junior EndeavOT
society of the Christian church was
well attended and much appre ;iated.
The program though not of great
length was excellent throughout.
The drills were one of the most pleas.
ing features and the tabieau present.
ed at the close Of the entertainment,
occasiOned many complimentary re-
marks.

Thomas Gamble will work the pres
ent season for RObt. Brown Of Zyba.
Several Of Pecks leading citizens
are working hard to locate a creamery
at that place.
j. W. Mackey and Lon Parker Of
the COwskin were visiting acQuaint-
anceS here Sunday evening.
Fred Engle who recently engaged
in business in Wichita has rented his
farm to Sedgewick county man.
Peck is still booming; last week two
residences, and now in the near future
she is to have a creamery and another
barber shop.
Frank Watson, recently married,
has moved on and will farm the
Uncle Jimmy Hammers quarter sec.
tiOn this year.
Tyler Ellsworth and wife and Mrs.
Stella Princheouse from the Strip
country are visiting relatives here;
will return to their homes on the
10th.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
late SOwn wheat is seriously injured
from the January freezing. Some
here will be plOwed up and the fields
planted to corn.
One Of our eXperimentally Inclined
farmers here has ordered seed corn
from Iowa at 1925 bushel-thinkS
he will want to rent some of the
adjoining farms to crib his corn on.
Prosperity has struck Peck hard, P.
S. Morrison and Joseph Scott are each
erecting residences and a company
from Abilene in conjunction With
some of Peck's leading citizens are
talking Of puttingin creamery plant.
Taylor Sadler had the misfortune
recently to lose $500 while on the
streets in Wichita and the extraOrdi-
nary good fortune to find it again, it
being wrapped in piece of paper on
the pavement where it had dropped
from his pocket.
The relatives and friends of Let
cher Sadler of Kelso, Wash, learn
with sorrow of his hong and serious ill.
ness. Fever has confined him 10 bed for
twelve weeks, and having settled in
his limbs, will, it is believed, make
him cripple for life.
On Tuesday evening the 9th, a
meeting Of the citizens of Peck
appointed Hiram Hitchcock, David
Unangst and W. II. Roll to visit
Abilene and the dairy farmers there
about in order to learn definitely as to
the profit of having a creamery for
Peck.
Recently we heard a farmer say that
the Populists were doing no good, He
being one of them himself, we asked
him how he expected Populists,
especially the editors, to do any good
when he and thousands like him
would spend their money to pay for
such news papers as the Kansas City
Star and Globe Democrat-better, nv
brother, support the newspaper that
fights for your freside.
Seems to me that corporations, and
railroads in particular, ought to let
up on the POpulists now-that is, iudg
lug from the tame manner our late
legislature came to the rescue of the
people and disregarded their promises.
10 fact, have not the POpulists gone
Republican? R. j. HUKLE.
