Congressman Murdock and Judge
Peten talked to people Of Bucklln and
vicinity last Friday afternoon. Both
gentlemen made good talks but tile
audience was not large. This was not
caused by lack Of Interest on the part
Of the people but the meeting had not
been advertised to attract the attention Of
the people, and then the day and hour
selected for the meeting could not have
been worse than 1t was, We will make
better showing when 1t comes to voting
and after all, that Is what counts,
Mrs. W. J, Mccain and daughter left
Monday for a visit to their old home at
Wakarusa, Kas.
Buckliu was visited Monday night by
quite an electric storm. The lightning
ran riot and the thunder we imagined,
equalled the thunder Of the Russian guns
when they are moving down whole
b,lgades OF Jap soldiers, hut we had a
fine rain with 1t and there was no dam.
age done that we have heard Of except 10
the nerves ola few persons.
We learn that Gilbert Davis Of Buck.
lin closed a contract yesterday with the
Pleasant Valley school board to teach
their school the coming year, commence
Ing October 8.
One day last week while Judge Halves
was trimming trees at his home west Of
Ford, the ak accidentally struck bis little
boy, who was with him, cutting quite
cash In bis leg. They brought the little
fellow here and DR.. Fannon took come
stitches In the wound, He remained
here under the DOCTORS care until Sun
day when his parents took him home.
He was doing well at that time.
Now comes H P. McCaustland with a
box of cigars setting them up to every
body that would take one. We could not
imagine what 1t meant so we asked him
why 1t was thusly, but he only smiled
one of those fetching smiles Of his. We
pressed the question and be admitted
that he had just drawn two valuable
town lots in Bucklin in rafting match
and could afford to set them up as he got
the cigars the same way. But we know
it made him a little bit proud for he went
to work this morning and polished bis
office windows.
We took drive, by proxy as usual, a
few miles Into the country last Sunday
and found everything and everybody
looking prosperous. 1t Is impossible for
us old timers not to note the change that
the last few years have made In farm
life In this part of Ford county. The
dug out and sod house have passed away
and in their stead we see oommodious
dwelling houses built in modern style
and furnished with up to date furniture.
Hugh barns have taken the place of the
straw sheds and dimsy wind breaks, If
it keeps on improving a few years longer
the people wont want to die and go to
heaven but will want to stay right here
in Ford county.
John Core and wife Of Lewis. Kas.,
were visitors at the Blankenbakers. They
returned to their home on Tuesday.
Mrs. q. H. Buttolph left Tuesday eve.
ming for Excelsior Springs, Mo. Mrs.
Buttoph has been suffering with rheu-
matism for several months and, although
better now, she thinks that she will be
benefited by visit to the Springs.
Now about those dogs, Sometime ago
someone poisoned several of them and
there was quite a howl about it. Well
perhaps 1t was not right to poison them
promscuously but what are we to do
about it. Are we to submit to be an
uoyed day and night, our stock chased
and harrassed by a lot Of worthless ours
that are of no benefit to their owners
and are a curse to every body else. We
have to work about fifteen hours a day
and do not care to be kept awake all
night by these providing brutes, and we
will kill them regardless of ownership,
when caught on our premises So II you
don't want your dogs killed keep them at
home.
Fl. P. McCaustland wife and Georgia
