We understand that Mrs. M. M.
Blevins is making an effort to have
her Oldest boy sent to the reform
school. He seems to have gotten
too big for her to manage.
". Patterson has gone wrong
and bought a farm in Arkansas and
will move there in short time,
but we don't expect him to make
that his home for very long time.
John George was in town Satur-
day trying to find out what to do
with sick hogs His hogs got to
associating with Mr.. Spice1's or
they with his, and the result is
John has had to start a hog bury
ing ground on his farm.
D. O.Edwards treated himself to
an automobile while at the Wich-
ita fair and now we hardly expect
him to recognize us any more. But
one thing sure, when he gets out
on the road he had better not scare
our team or he will have to recog-
nize us a few moments.
Hazelton was we'll represented
at the Wichita fair last week.
Those attending had an opportun-
ity of seeing that Kansas has as
fine a lot of cattle, hogs and horses
as any state in the union besides
the races were nearly all good ones
and fast time was made in many
of them.
]. T. Spicer recently shipped in
load of hogs from somewhere and
had not had them long till they
began to die and he then sent them
to some other market. We under
stand that Mr.. Spicer IS out quite a
little sum from this shipment and
this was not his first experience
either.
We mentioned last week that
Fred Harrington was going to
Sharon to engage in the billiard
pool and fishing business, but it
seems that the good people of Sha
ron had few words coming on
that line and Fred now has an ele-
plant on his hands with no shelter
or feed for it, for he did not set up
there. The Sharon people evident
ly know what they want and are
not in the least backward about
saying SO.
Yes Stephenson and Miss Lizzie
Hardesty were married at Wichita
Monday. Yes stole a march on
most all of his friends in Hazelton,
pretending to be going to take in
the fair and it shakes our faith in
him for we have known him from
the time he was a little mischiev.
Gus kid, and had always thought
he was as straight as string. We
never for once thought that he
would be guilty of actually taking
one of the best in town and not let
US know about it, but after all Yes
is a pretty good fellow and we are
inclined to overlook this, his first
offence, and are going to wish him
and Lizzie all the good luck that
comes their way and hope their
married life may be crowned with
every success, but we warn Yes
that if he is ever guilty of another
such act that we will not let him
OFT so easy next time.
A short time ago one party in
Hazelton was lamenting the fact
that we had taken up the matter
of useless, and as we thought and
still think, worthless lines of bust
ness in our items, he seemed to
think that our items were doing a
great injury to the real estate bust.
ness for if homeseekers read them
they would not want to locate here.
He thought it best to keep them in
the dark. Now if his idea is the
correct one then it is time that we
get rid of such affairs for if thew
are an injury to our community to
such an extent that their existence
being made public keeps people
away, then we are certainly right
In our position and more than that
we have been engaged in the real
estate business good many years,
and we will just say that we have
yet to find a man hunting a place
tor a home who has ever expressed
a desire for a location where he
could get into a game of billiards,
pool or a game of cards, Joint or

ind one that would practice with
his gun on the street at night and
endanger the lives of others, or
where he could find a man who
went armed in broad daylight, or
where he could find man that
would even uphold any of these
things, but he have had a great
