have just arrived in Chanute where
they will make their future home.
Mr.. Keller has bought land out by
Leanna which his boys will occupy
and work.
We commend to our readers the
article in this weeks issue contributed
by Mr.. Dewey. Mr.. Dewey was one
of the boys Of those dark bloody days
referred to and his recital of the
scenes during this memorable struggle
and Immediately preceding it are
intensely interesting.
j. T. Kramer, son-in-law of Uncle
Joe McCrary, was down from Topeka
last week looking up a location for
Mr.. McCrary, who will soon move
back to Chanute. Mr.. Kramer, who
is an expert machinist, will come with
him, and if suitable arrangements can
be made will start machine shop in
Chanute.
That cold nor 'wester, accompani-
ed by snow, Sunday morning, had
rather chilling effect on the early
gardens. We noticed one thrifty
dame out in the wind and snow with
an arm load of old gunny sacks cover
ing up her newly-made beds. Such
determination deserves success wheth-
er it succeeds or not.
Erie has CAPTURED jug merchant
and is determined to make it hot for
him. He was travelling the country
and soliciting orders for whisky. His
name is Davidson and he was repre-
senting the Western Distilling Co. of
Kansas City. If the citizens of Cha
mute wish to take in one or two of
these fellows, all they have to do is to
keep their eyes open about the 18th
of each month.
w. Y. Harding and family have
gone to Ocala, Fla, for an indefinite
time. Mrs. Harding has not been en-
joying the best of health for some time
so they decided to sell off all their
Kansas property and, relieved from
all care of worldly affairs, sojourn in
the sunny south to their hearts, con-
tent. In imagination we can see
Bro. Harding holding up the skirts of
his pajama with one hand to catch
the luscious oranges as they are shak-
en- from the trees by his wife, while
with the other he is fighting mosqui-
toes. Again we see him in early morn
in his slicker suit with his heavy
whip in hand driving the
alligator herd out to pasture and at
noon driving them to the pond
for water. Bro. Harding has g |
new theory about cultivation of alli-
gators. He says the demand is now
growing for a light thin skin with
small scales instead of the thick heavy
scaled hides formerly in vogue. He
links he can produce the proper ar
,icle by planting them thicker in the
ill and skinning them twice year
instead as once as is now the custom.
The Harding family leave many
riends in and around Chanute who
will always be glad to hear from them
md learn of their welfare and happi-
less.
