CHlT-CHAT.
1t is said that Charley Cox raked Ii
the persimmons In his speech at More
head one night last week,
At Mr.. McColey's sale Saturday the
things sold for more than expected
1t was nearly all paid in cash.
The boys had a nice meeting at the
Leanna schoolhouse Saturday night
A good crowd and very enthusiastic
meeting.
A few more speeches such as Mr.
Waters gave US, and the Pops won't
be able to muster a corporals guard
We have seen only one Pop who was
elated by that speech, and he is more
to be pitied than censured.
1t is rather amusing to see the
Morning Sun take up the defense OF
John Roe. From a few little side re-
marks we would judge the Sun man
doesn't have very exalted opinion of
either the Blade or the Tribune.
Wheniwe saw that array Of wisdom
and beauty in the shape of our city
school marms taking the train Sat.
urday for Erie to attend the teachers
meeting, we were sorry we had not
told our wife we had business at the
county seat that day.
The Mail and Breeze last week was
very interesting reading. 1t had about
three columns of names Of prominent
local politicians in the Populist and
Democratic parties from all parts of
the state who are out supporting the
Republican ticket in whole or part.
Abe Sailors has been excused from
school work until after election. Abe
has a little business he wants to look
after over in the other part OF the
county. BY the way, nothing short
of cyclone will keep Abe from being
our next county superintendent.
The plumbers all seem to have more
work than they can do at present. 1t
seems that everybody wants work done
at the same time. Everybody waited
until the last minute and then rushed
in TO the plumber and demanded his
services at once. We plead guilty
Ourself.
Two years ago, when David Over
mycr spoke in this city, he laid down
the proposition that 'every organiza-
tion or enterprise had implanted in
it's nature the seeds of destruction. !"
1t looks very much now like those
same seeds had terminated In the
Populist party.
Brother H. P. Farrelly has asked on
several occasions (Which one of the
Pop laws the Republicans would have
repealed" The probabilities are that
that political gem Of his, the anti
trust law, might about as we'll be re-
pealed, from Che trouble he has to get
a Pop encouragement to enforce 1t.
BY the way, after little while
there will be no Bob Barkley; it will
be Mr.. r. j. Barley. Bob has re-
Gently secured patents on some inven-
tions of his that will make him any
where from a millionaire on up. One
large concern has already taken hold
of the matter and the manufacture
will begin at once.
1t seems strange that so many peo-
pie in our town find it more convent
ent to send off for their goods than to
patronize home merchants. Suppose
all should do that way; we soon would
have no town. 1t takes merchants to
make town, and more wide-awake,
public-spirited set of merchants never
did business anywhere than we have
in Chanute. Where do you go when
YOU want to raise money for Atm or
July celebration, fair or a reunion;
to assist some poor fellow who has
been burned out or met with a mis-
fortune of some kind; or for any other
public purpose? You go to the mer-
chants and they dig down into their
pockets every time. Where do you
20 when you want a little credit?
Not to st. Louis, Kansas City or Chi
cago, but to your home merchants.
Then treat them fairly. Give them
your trade.
