HazeEon Items.

j. B Milan was up from Oklahom
last week selling our farmers some new
breeds 0f seed wheat, and it looked good
too.
E. IL. Smith, j. +. Albright and J..
G. Rugg all shipped fat COWS To Kansas
City last week but We did not hear what
prices they got.
Our last weeks items were mailed all
right but we suppose they got side.
tracked some where between here and
the county capital.
q. =. Gamble, we understand, has
accepted very nice position with u
large mercantile firm at Lamar, Colo.
lie will move there IN few days.
5. s. Budd of Labette, Kansas, was
here looking for location last week
and while he did not locate here he was
we'll pleased with the country around
here and Will return.
The past week has been a good one
for the threshers and farmers that had
wheat in the shock. With few more
days of dry weather most OF the wheat
Will be In the hands of spectators.
Since the agricultural train was here
business men, for our business men in
GLIDING bankers, are all talking farm.
ing. We expect them 10 all close their
business houses and toke to the farm.
Some steps have got to be taken by
the county health officers to get the
water at kiOwa tested, for one day last
week some of the Hazel tOn boys were
over there and came home pretty badly
hnsy n II
but KIowa water.
j. N. Stephens had the misfortune to
get one OF his legs scalded one day last
week by plug blowing out of his
threSher engine while on the road.
Fortunately the burn was not of dan.
gerouS nature and Jim is going right
ahead threshing everything in his way
regardless Of size.
We are very sorry to learn that 0. Z.
Ward has again lost his mind and was
taken away Saturday to be- examined
preparatory tn getting him i'm the asy-
lum again. He has been there twice
before and on each occasion was soon
pronounced cured. We sincerely hope
he will soon be restored again as he is
an excellent neighbor, a hard worker,
in fact his never ending work is we be.
lieve mainly the cause of his trouble he
never rests and seemingly can't be con
tent unless hard at work and being n
small man and not very strong he just
simply breaks down, and when the BODY
fails the mind fails also.
[Received too Late for Last Week.
Il. l.. Bennett is trying to deny that
he is married man, but his word in
THIS Case doesn't go with a good many
of US: he had just as we'll own up.
The last heard of Fred Dicks and
Charles Gamble they were at Colorado
Springs. aud had 50 far escaped being
put to work on the streets; we begin to
think now that they will get thro1g. h
all right.
Well, yes, at last we got our barley
threshed, did 1t between rains last week,
and got an average of Al bushels per
acre, wagon measure. Would perhaps
not quite weigh that much.
Spencer Davis las now invented a
new guard for the mower to go with his
other invention. Now If he will invent
complete machine he will sure have
the other fellows going south.
Another big rain Friday evening put
the thresherS out of commission for a
few days. They get to thresh about two
DAYS each week, and the other Eve they
board out what they have taken in.
Earl Webb, the five year. old son of
j. . and Belle Webb, fell off of the
fence one day last week and broke one
of his arms. DIR. Burnett took charge
of the case and has him doing fine.
A very small scrap was pulled off
Saturday at the billiard hall but moth
ing serious resulted, and no arrests
were made. Too much rest around the
thrashing outfits makes the boys feel
gay.
There seems to be little doubt but
that Robert Garvin intends to finally
bring that Kentucky damsel out here;
he is now having his house repainted,
from top to bottom, net even skipping
the f1ues. And 1t certainly means
something.
NJ. G. Cavanaugh now has another
40 acre field ready for seeding to alfalfa.
Once give a man taste Of what there
is in growing this crop and there is no
such thing as getting him to let up
as long as he has an acre of land that
will grow it.
The chicken thieves are getting close
to US now. Mrs. &. Mckinney was re.
lieved of over hundred few days ago
and some others have lost small lots.
If this business keeps up much longer
some one is likely to be caught carry.
