NO STREET IMPROVEMENT
Board OF Aldermen Makes Order TO
Drop Proceedings -Remonstrance
too Great.

At its meeting last Monday night
the Board Of Aldermen made on order
dropping further proceedings in the
proposition to pave Columbia street
with yitriied brick. The property
holders along the proposed line OF i'm.
proyemcnt, who would have had TO
bear the cost Of the Improvement, filed
u strong remonstrance against the
enterprise, about nine out of ten sign
ing the remonstrancr, so that the
board had no choice in the matter.
Now, what is to be done? The
streets of Pennington are its worst
drawback in the march Of progress
Everybody comedies the fact that they
are bad, unworthy town OF Farming.
tons Importance aud rapid growth.
With its splendid system of granitoid
walks, the streets present all the
greater contrast, which is at once
noticeable to strangers visiting the
town. ln the spring months they are
unsightly with ,lush and holes and
standing pools of mud, and in the
summer, where the people do not
sprinkle, the dust is inrolerabIe.
The city has no money to construct
good streets, and if 1t could levy tax
for this purpose, which it cannot, it
would not be just to the tax pay yers
who live outside the districts lha,
would receive the benefit of the tax
II We ever have good streets the
property-holders along the streets must
bear the cost in proportion TO their
property frontage. The public square
aud the main business streets especial.
ly, on account of the traffic, ought to
be substantially improved Most Of
the money expended by the board for
street repairs has been used on this
portion. and still it i, impossible to
keep them looking anyway present
able.
Good streets of course are expen-
sivc to begin with, but cheaper in the
long run, and it is only question of
time when Harrington will have to
construct them If it would not "run
down Mt the heels" The longer il is
delayed the worse our streets will get
and the greater the cost of putting
them in good condition.
Again we ask, what il TO be done

John Shirley of Lucas, Kan
sas, writes to the Topeka Capt.
tai about an experiment made in
the early days of planting corn
in winter, as follows: When 1
came to my homestead on the
head waters of East Wolf creek
in Russell county in the month
of August, 1873, 1 saw small
patch of corn in the neighbor-
hood that had reached matu rity
several months before / learn
ed that it was a patch of five or
six acres that had been planted
by Mr.. Dalton in the month of
December the year before TIL e
patch yielded a fair average crop.
1 had no knowledge of this ex-
pertinent ever having been tried
anywhere else in the state, but /
have often wondered why it was
not. 1t is certainly practicable
and most seasons possible to
raise a crop of corn from Deem
Der planting, which should ma
ture early in July or even earlier.
1t is an experiment well worthy
a trial. Kansas is ahead in many
respects and when the farmers
of the state get to raising corn
from December paintings it will
be among the leaders as corn

some accident to his machine,
our admiration for old Ned, our
twenty -year-old family horse,
grows a bit more firm. Old Ned
doesn't lose his spark plug, his
supply tank doesn't give out,
and he has never yet had a farm

should go away back and sit
down.-Ex.

We wonder how many of our
readers have noticed the differ
ence between the man who has
been married but a short time
and one who has been married
several years. You can always
tell young husband from an old
one. When man has been
married a few months, you will
generally see him working in
the garden or fixing up about
the house and while he works he
whistles, or sings, or occasional
ly looks up towards the window
to see if anyone is watching him.
A year later he is still working
in the garden but the smile has
been exchanged for a frown and
he occasionally looks up towards
the house wondering why in
thunder breakfast is not ready.
Another year. rolls by and. his
looks would sour milk, but he is
still at work, stopping occasion
ally to kick the dog or throw a
brick at the cat. The next year
we find him sitting on the porch,
smoking his pipe, while his wife
does the digging in the garden.
Now just watch our young men,
as one by, one, they are caught
in Cupid's: net and see if this
rule does not work out the prob
lem cOrrectly.-Ex

|. o. o. F. Resolutions.

Long years ago the decree
went forth that All that is born
must die 7"
Friend after friend departs
Who hath not lost friend?
There is no union here of hearts
That finds not here an end
No distinction is made between
the rich and poor, the exalted or
humble all must meet on this
common level-all must submit
TO the dominion of death
Once again we have been called
to follow a brother to the tomb,
there to take last look upon his
familiar face and to say farewell.
Gloomy indeed would the parting
be were it not for the happy
thought of the time when friend
and fraternity will be reunited
never again to part. Another
brother has paid the last debt
triumphantly singing as his feet
touched deaths dark river O.,
death, where is thy sting? O
grave, where is thy victory?
In the death of Brother Chalk
Wa-Keeney 1. o. o. F. Lodge,
No. 3O4, loses one of it's oldest
and most efficient members. one
that ever was a stalwart cham
pion of all those exalted tenents
of which we boast and of which
we are proud. A brother that
never failed or faltered, but in
foul weather as in fair, stood by
his brothers. A brother always
ready, always willing to do his
part in any movement that was
for the good of the order. Sacri-
ficing time and self to build up
the different orders to which he
belonged, he has passed to his
reward Therefore it is fitting
and becoming that we, his
brothers, should in this manner
express our deep regret at his
death Bowling in humble sub
mission to the will of the Great
and Supreme Ruler who in His
infinite wisdom has removed our
worthy and esteemed Brother
Edward Bell Chalk,
Be It Resolved, That the wis
dom and ability which he once
exercised in the and for our or
der, his loving service, his wise
counsel, will ever be held in
greateful remembrance.
Resolved, That the removal of
such a useful life from our lodge
leaves a vacancy that will never
be filed, and cast a shadow that
will be deeply realized by all the
members of our noble order and
will be loss not easily remedied,
to not only his lodge but to the
entire community in which he
lived and to the public at large.
Resolved, That expressing our
deep sympathy with his bereav-
ed widow and family, we, at the
same time, express the fond
hope that even so great a loss
may be overruled for good by
Him who doeth all things well.
Resolved, That copy Of these
