This part of Kansas is no longer
IN the drouthy class, but is getting
almost as wet as Missouri.

County Attorney Cloud was
down the latter part of last week

A couple of railroad contractors
were little surprised the other
day when Sheriff Kidd came down
with tax warrant for their taxes.
They were making preparations to

Frank Hardestry and family re-
turned from their trip to the south
west part of the state last week.
They report everything out there
as being dry. Frank was in Stew
ems county most of the time.
The trustees of the C. P. church
leased their church building to the
Christian denomination for I year.
We are of the opinion that this is
a much better plan of getting re.
suits from the various churches
OF the town.
With the rain Sunday morning
there was a pretty strong wind.
Several parties were damaged by
having small buildings wrecked
and fruit trees damaged. James
Potter, northeast of town, was al
most sure his house would 90 for
time.
DR.. Graham is now in Hazelton
and he and DR.. Welsh are taking the
preliminary steps to head off ty-
phoid fever. This is something
that should interest everybody and
we trust they will receive the en-
couragement and assistance they
need in their work
In our last weeks items we did
not make out the damage by hail
as bad as it really was, not having
the time to fully investigate as
we have since. The facts are a
good many farmers lost their
wheat crop complete and it was
one of the best crops we have had
for years. But you can't keep a
Kansas farmer down for they are
at work putting the land in corn
and it is possible they will have as
much clear money in the end as
they would have had out of the
wheat. q,
While our farmer friends were
waiting for the water to get out of
the fields, the Hazelton people got
up little excitement for their en-
tertainment and pulled off a foot
race between Ed Goodan and Mike
Cavanaugh. Mike led from the
word go to the finish, but Ed didn't
have fair start, as Constable Dun
bar was holding him until Mike
got a good start. There is some
talk of fixing up a race track and
training them. We are betting
our money on Mike for we think
he can beat Ed every jump in the
road. He has a wonderful stride,
plenty of wind and with a little
training would be a safe man to
enter in any county in the state
for the sweepstakes.

John Surber made the Hazelton
people short visit and did some
business while here one day last
week.
Mr.and Mrs. &c. Dimmick viewed
the damages done by the cyclone
in Woods county, Ok, last week.

neighborhood where Mr.. Dimmick
resided before locating here.
Harold Carpenter, son of A. H.
Carpenter of this place, died at
Wichita hospital last Thursday
from the effects of being kicked by
a mule last Sunday. Harold was
a bright little boy about IL years
old and will be greatly missed by
his many playmates and friends.
The parents and relatives have the
heartfelt sympathy of their many
friends in this locality.
