cattle last week to Kansas City.

spell of the grip but is now thought to

DIR. Burnett is treating him.
The grip has still got several of our
people i'll training but most of them are
apparently satisfied to quit now.

one that should have been reported last
week, is fine girl at the residence of

engine In connection with his rye barn

Ing In time and men.
A. A. Faucet is selling out his Bar.
Der county property and will try his

it is too cold here for him.
L. G. Bridge is gone again. This
time to the north part of the state.

a move Will ever quiet him.
G. w. Spawr has decided that Kan
sas don't suit him and is selling out

If they make the deal they will move
there.
H. l.. Rule bought 800 acre farm
southeast of Hazelton last week and
will take possession in the spring. Con-
side1ation $500 and mighty cheap dirt
at that.
The doctors are not going the rounds
with that discouraged look that is usual
with Kansas doctors. About everybody
has had, is having, or is expecting to
have the grip.
! D. M. Circle sold Albert and Miss
Maggie Virgins g. farm northwest of
Hazelton last week for a consideration
of $1,000. No improvements except
blowing and fencing.
The Hazelton cattle feeders and ship.
pers up to date this winter have dis
posed of over 100000 bushels of corn
and there is still several hundred BUSH
els left tor home use, right here in
drouthy Kansas, too.
A paper was circulated Saturday for
about one hour protesting against ap-
propriating any of the peoples money
for the 1904 Topeka show. Everyone
that had the opportunity signed it and
it was sent to w. c. Millar. We don't
object to Topeka having as many shows
as she can get but we want those that
expect to reap the benefits to put up
| the cash for it. Let them that are ex.
pecting to dance pay the fiddler.
DR.. Huntington of Anthony, was ov-
er Thursday consulting with DR.. Bur
nett. Mrs. George B. Johnston, one of
his patients, is very low and the Doctor
felt that he would prefer consulting an
older head than to take all the risk him
self.
LATER. Mrs. Johnston died Mon.
day morning about 10 O'Clock. Mrs
Johnston and her husband, George B.
Johnston, came here about Is years age
from Sharon, Pa, and have resided
here ever since. She was woman with
very poor health, being Of very deli.
| cate constitution. She was an untirine
| and constant worker in the church and
Sunday school and spent great por.
ton of her time IN trying to make life
| here and hereafter better for others
| and her works will no doubt live after
| her, for many are the persons that have
been led to live better life from the
good advice given them by Mrs. John
ston. She leaves husband and a host
of friends to mourn her departure, but
she has gone where real life is just be-
gun.
