General Lee surrendered to General

the very eve Of the complete triumph
OF the Union, when the brilliant sue

We recall these events OF q genera.

there are now leaders in the Demo

A Mighty Good County. I

Men and women Of Dickinson coun
ty, do you know that this is a might,
good county in which we liveP 0
course there are few rich Popu]ists
like George Livingston who came
here poor and now are money loaners
bondholders and bank stock owners
because Of their wealth made here,
who grumble and snort about hard
times; and there are papers like the
News which last week published a
two column jaundiced croak from q
former townsman Of disappointed am
bitition' that delight in injuring the
county's standing by disappearing
the prosperity Of its people. But,
thank heaven, they are few. Nearly
everyone would rather say good
things than bad, rather build up than
tear down, and seldom indeed will a
paper be found like the News to pub
lish warped and distorted statements
injuring the county in which it is
published.
The state auditor yesterday gave
out q statement Of the state taxes
paid by each county. Dickinson will
this year pay $27,55l. This is more
than twice that Of Geary, $4,000 more
than Marion, $4,000 more than Saline,
$4,000 more than Clay; it lacks only
$4,000 of being as much as Atchison
in which is city Of $1,000 people;
it is $4,000 more than Labette in
which is Parsons with ll,OOO popula-
ton; it leads Allen Qola, county
seat,) $1,000; it leads Mcpherson
$4,000, and Ottawa and Morris
$4,000 each.
That's the kind of a county old
Dickinson is-a county Of prosperous
farmers, busy villages, cattle, corn,
wheat and creameries. It's q good
place to come to, poor place to
eave, a place to be contented, pros
porous and happy. Nearly $4,000
people find it so and any party or
paper that thinks there is capital to
'e made by decrying the county or
is people will quickly find out that
uch an idea is in grievious error.
