A DELIGHTFUL SURPRISE.

Saturday evening, January 12th,
the friends and neighbors of O. W..
Dawson and family met and pour
ed in on them from every side, TAX
ing with them oysters, cake, ETC.,
to show to their beloved neighbors
that they would be gone but not
forgotten. Thirty-hve partook of
the fine supper and good time.
Had it not been a dark stormy
night the house would not have
been half large enough to have ac-
commodated the friends of Mr..
Davlson's, for their friends in Kan
sas are like the sands of the sea-
without number.
We will all feel the loss of our
friends and neighbors. Mr.. Davi-
son moved here five years ago and
since that time has been a success
ful farmer. He sold his Kansas
land and bought farm in Iowa,
that joined the one he left when he
came to Kansas. He left Sharon
Saturday, Jan. 18th, with the best
wishes of his many friends. We
feel broken link in the neighbor-
hood chain but will weld it by
welcoming Mr.. Bowman, his sue
cessor, in his place.

BILL GESNER'S BILL.

The Hon. William Gesner, rep
resentative of Barber county, has
introduced bill in the legislature
providing that all promissory notes
and mortgages not listed for taxa.
ton shall be null and void. We
have been unable to get connection
with a copy of the bill but we are
told by those who are familiar with
the terms thereof that it is provid-
ed that notes and mortgages shall
be stamped by the assessor and if
they do not bear the assessors GER
tifcate payment on them cannot
be enforced.
The republican bosses hereabouts
are hot under the collar about it.
They say this is one of the rankest
demands of populism of the early
COS and while they have little fear
of its becoming a law they claim
to be very much embarrassed in
trying to apologize to their set for
the action of their representative.
Gesner's action is sized up this
way: The bill, being SO framed
that it has little chance of passing
both houses, and, if passed, would
be quickly knocked out by the
courts, it is figured, will make
him popular with the returned
populists in the republican par
ty while it can hardly be conceived
that an old line republican would
break away no matter what the
record of the representative might
be.
A law relating to this subject
might be enacted that would be
just, but if Our information is cor.
rect, the Gesner bill is full of holes
and injustices. However, as we
have not seen it, we have no con-
clusions in the matter.

FRANK, R. FULLERTON DEAD.

Frank R. Fullerton, whose Sc
we're illness was noted in our Sharon
and Hazelton correspondence last
week, died on Tuesday evening,
January 18th, after an illness of
about a week, of typho-pneumonia
fever.
Frank was % years, d months
and 81 days of age. He was a son
of w. M. Fullerton and wife of
Hazelton and was the first among
nine sons and daughters to be TAX.
en- away. He grew from childhood
to manhood near Hazelton. In
September 1903, he enlisted in the
army and was honorably discharg-
ed in September 1906. About
three months ago he was employed
as assistant cashier of. the Sharon
Valley State Bank and in that ca
pacity soon evinced an aptitude for
clerical work that marked the
opening of a flattering prospect for
a useful and successful business ca.
reer but in the midst of his hopes
and ambitions, fate hath decreed
that his brief earthly work is fin
ished and his absence leaves not
only sadness in the home but
among all who knew him as a
friend. Those who had the priv
ilege of fhe acquaintance of this
exemplary, industrious, kind heart
ed, brilliant young man will. ever
cherish a fond memory of his friend.

DORA THORNE.

Dora Thorne,' one of the sweet

the American stage, will be the
attraction offered by Messrs. Ro w.

to be the masterpiece of the we'll
known playwright, Lem B. Parker,
and is dramatization of Bertha
M. Clay's novel of the same title.
The company that presents "Dora
Thorne' is far above the average
and a particula rly strong one and
each character is perfectly enacted.
Emelie Lessing is seen in the title

duction also employs consider

whether the sheriff needs one or

dersherlH is not needed many days

scratch his head and think several
times before he accepted it. The

ton Is a good one.
