has two of the best papers there are in
northwestern Kansas. 1t Is safe to say
that both the News and the Advocate
Democrat are making money. Before
the year is half gone the editor of these
journals will have completed and oc-
cupy modern homes at cost of $4,000
and $4,000 each.
There are rumors that DIR. T. I. Hat
field will return to Marysville. He was
one OF the first for years in his pro-
fession, dentistry. He made money
double it up. He hunted here and
there, and found no place he liked SO
we'll as Marysviile. He will find the
same hospitable people now that they
were when he left here.
The work of Improvement goes
steadily forward all over Marysville.
The new houses are seen here. there
and everywhere, some finished recent
dozens commenced. The town will
not receive any serious drawback be-
cause of the stoppage of work on the
Topeka & Northwestern railroad. The
people of Marysville expected to go
to Topeka On the ''cutoff" by the first
of July at the farthest. The town is
solid enough to stand 1t; the country
adjacent is rich in agriculture and the
farmers haven't mortgages to pay off.
Ex-Register of Deeds Frank Shaw,
who filled the office to the entire salts
faction Of the people of Marshall
county for two terms will join the
Kansans who are seeking homes in
Oklahoma.
Ex-Sherfff ST. Clair Guthrie of
Irving has moved to Marysville, and
will try to control the ice trust. That
is he will be glad to furnish ice to all
who want it this summer.
Some day not far in the future
Marysville will have candidate for
the high honor of national president
of the Woman's Relief Corps. And
why not for the place has the best
of material for the said honor
John w. Simmonds is not classed
among the pioneers of Marysville. He
gave up that title when he moved from
Smith county to this town. He has
unlimited confidence in Marysville and
Marshall county. He owns several
blocks in the town. besides a number
of houses, and a fine farm which
there is good orchard, besides con-
siderable stock. In fact. he has enough
in sight to keep him comfortable, with
plenty laid by in case of a rainy season.
A. H. Leifheit, one of the prosper
Gus Germans, believes he is entitled
to a layoff, and he will visit this sum-
mer the land of his nativity and other
places of interest in the old world.
One of the best known politicians of
MarysvilIe says the Fifth district will
have the next governor. The politi-
clan names three men to select from,
j. w Creech of Dickinson county
State Senator e. r. Fulton of Marshall
county and T. d. Fitzpatrick of Saline
county. There are lots of people who
will keep a tab on this Marysville
politician. Should this politician be
a good guesser it will be bad for the
three or more aspirants said to exist in
