J. Clifford Of Ohio and that they have
made deal whereby each one has his

terested men and each takes the
others stock on the appralsement'
We are sorry to lose 50 old and reli-
able citizen of this county as Abe
Starxey. He has for many years been
regarded as one Of the fixtures or TINS
| locality. But never mind, Brother
Starkey will not stay in Ohio long.
We will soon have him back and we
will be the gamer by the deal, as we
will have two good citizens in the
place of one. We howl about Kansas
drouths, Kansas cyclones, Kansas
grasshoppers Kansas Pops and many
other Kansas plaques, yet after all,
there is charm and fascination about
| life in Kansas that soon bring cltl-
zen back who attempts to locate in
some other state. We give Mr.. Stark
ey lust two years TO be back farming
in Kansas.

something on him. And the younger
fly, who was inexperienced and alecky
started at once for the web, but the

son, when a stranger with IA mug on

clever you can mark it down that he
| isn't doing it because he loves you. II
he ever gets you tangled up in that
web he won't do thing to you. "
