No Kickers In Prosperity-Old Folks
Day To Be Observed--Death Of
Confederate Veteran-Per-
sonal Mention.

Prosperity, May 3.--We were hand
ed the following stray waif from the
Journalistic field and requested to
publish it.
Contempt for the Town.
(From the Rossville, Kas., Rcporter.)
The kickers on the farms are not
so hard to get along with as those in
the town. On the farm there is the
kicking cow and our long-eared friend
the mule, while in town there is the
old mossback who wants all the privi-
leses of municipal living without pay
ing for them, and blocks, so far as
he can, every municipal Improvement.
Tire cow may be sold for beef and
the mule traded for shotgun but
nothing but funeral will get rid of
the town kicker.

Prosperity has no kiclers. She may
have some of the genus knocker men,

but no kickers. We are all more or
