SIXTH DISTRICT NOTES.

+ Legg and Liberty are the names of
Two prominent men who were doing
business in Phillipsburg recently. 1t
took more than two good legs to get
out OF the way of liberty.
The four Graham county banks, three
OF which are in Hill City, had combined
deposits the last day of August aggre-
eating $270,S11.39.
The Osborne News. which originally
was started in the interest Of the politi-
cal boss busters, carries under its edi-
torial head the following: w. w. Miller.
manager; ]. A. Foster, foreman; z. H.
McFadden. city editor. 1t isn't known
who the real editor is.
The Phillipsburg News, which usually
prints all the good things worth reading,
has this to say Of one of Topeka's fore
most citizens: Lawyers, politicians and
newspaper men throughout the state
are aware of the fact that NJ. A. Low,
general attorney for the Rock Island,
does not talk much. Even his letters
are short" when you write in for a.
pass. Recently we had a. call from a
gentleman whom we supposed was Mr..
Low, he looked like him and acted like
him. We thought possibly he had come
up to handle the company's interest in
the Wheelbarger suit, a railroad dam
age case, but when he handed us a
card we were thunderstruck-the man
was deaf and dumb.
The stockholders of the Farmers
State bank OF Downs, the third bank in
the LoWIis WHICH Will commence DuSl-
ness at once, have elected the follow
ing officers: President, w. A Hopper;
vice president, F. M. Wells: cashier, w.
H. Boughuer. Directors were chosen as
follows: w. A. Hopper. F. NJ. Wells.
S. s. Strawman, E, L. Getty, J. H.
Smith, T. o. Felix. A. W. Snyder.
Smith Center Messenger: J. E. Housed
whose big orchards adjoin Lebanon has
brought over two wagon loads of his
apples which were readily purchased, by
1 cy-aw
bushel. Housed has one of the choice
orchards of the county and handles
hundreds of bushels annually of the
same kind of home grown fruit.
The Mirror has figured out that Kens-
ington people have spent no less than
$4,000 in buildings in that town in the
last II months. .--r
Oberlin Eye: A good deal of thresh-
ing has been already done in Decatur
county and the wheat is generally Of
amount of fall blowing than usual is
being done and a largely increased acre
age of fall wheat will be sown. There
will be all and more than Decatur
county farmers can do all winter.
Mankato Advocate: What Jewell
county needs is more bee hives. The
bees are making more honey than they
can find hives to work in and they just
have to take possession of residences,
churches and school houses.
Almena Plain Dealer: But the corn
that is where we shine. The rains have
been just right and Norton county's
corn crop will be the largest ever raised.
The Lincoln Republican believes one
good turn deserves something better.
It therefore brings w. B. Mcbride out
as Tow Kelly's successor. He is now
serving his second term as treasurer
of Lincoln county. His home paper
says: Ellis qualifications are O.. K,
and his integrity above reproach. He
has made a good official, and stands
high in the estimation of the people of
Lincoln county" Let's see, this now
makes five offices the Sixth district
is after: State treasurer, auditor,
secretary of state. supreme court and
state superintendent. And there isn't
anything in the cards to keep Lieuten-
ant Governor Hanna out or a third
term If he asks for it.
Ex-Treasurer J. F. Mendenhall, of
Cove City, is the largest taxpayer in
Cove county. He owes 5000 acres OF
land. and is the largest and most sue
cessful stock feeder in that county.
