number of his hogs this week to
head off the cholera.
WI. Gamble is back in Hazel
ton, having sold his drug store at
Conway Springs and, of course, like
all of them became right back to
Hazelton.
Chas. Waldron of Virden, Ill,
was here part of last week visiting
with his cousin, ]. 0. Webb, and
taking a good look at our part OF
Barber county. He left well pleas
ed with the country.
A large number of the Hazelton
Masons, as well as Others, attended
the w. E. Campbell funeral at
Kiowa Sunday. The Kiowa Ma.
sonic lodge had charge of the fun
eral, so we have been informed.
Now Mr.. Editors, if you want to
see some fine fields of wheat, per-
haps better than they ever have up
around the Lodge, you want to take
day off and come down and see
what we can show you in this To-
cality. 1t is simply immense.
| Most of last week was so wet
that about all the people could do
and do it right, was to growl at
the eastern stock gamblers for the
scare they gave the people over
money matters and they have sure
done it up brown and to queens
taste.
About the only difference we are
able to see between the Cleveland
panic and the Republican panic is
that under Cleveland we could get
all the money we happened to have
in the bank and under the Republi-
can panic we can't get any, thus
showing that when the republicans
once get hold of anything of value
they are awful hard to pry loose.
If the eastern gamblers can tie
up the money of the whole country
as they have this time, isn't it rath.
er dangerous power for them to
be permitted to use? Suppose they
should take it in their heads to do
so is their anything to prevent them
from absolutely running the bust
ness interests of the. whole country?
Our moneyed men have done the
right thing but just think, what
forced them to do it, and then say
it is not a dangerous power.
For a whole week now it has
been impossible for the depositors
to make run on the banks and
they are now getting settled and
have decided that the proper place
for their money, if they have any,
is to leave it in the banks where it
can help do the business of the
country and as to handling the ac-
tual cash most of us never did that
anyway so there is not much differ
ence after all. One thing sure while
there may be a few weak banks in
the country that would not have
been able to stood run, the Haz-
elton banks are not in that class.
They are absolutely safe and sound
and can make everyone good that
has money deposited with them.
So don't get Eighty and do Some
thing that will injure the business
of the whole community by caus.
ing them to lose faith in our bank
ing institutions at Hazelton.
We have for a good many years
handled more or less hogs and at
the present time have several good
ones and now that the hog cholera
is spreading over this part of Bar
Der and good many are losing
heavily by it, we have met in exec
utive session and with closed doors
have passed a resolution about as
follows: first, that atrno time is it
legal for hogs to run at large in
Kansas; second, that we have new
er yet permitted any of our hogs to
run at large in Kansas; third, that
while good many others have
done so and we have never made
any protest, that we have now
reached the limit and that if at
present anyone's hogs should take
it into their heads to visit our hogs
we shall make it a point that the
visit is short and that it will be
their last visit if our old shotgun
proves as good now as in former
times. We very much dislike to do
this but are going to do it as a
matter of protection. Diseased
hogs have been hauled all around
us and hogs running out are likely
to become diseased and carry it to
Others and the only way to stop it
with those running out is to simply
stop the hog by the shotgun route
and then use coal oil and a match.
Then if our hogs take the disease
