Some writer has truthfully said of Par
adise Flats and Rocks county: I'VE
have the soil that has no end to its
productive qualities. and all that is
lacking is more tillers of the soil, sc
that the work can be done in due sea-
son and care for it in better shape.
If such was the case every farmer
would be able to establish a national
bank on the corner of his land"
Rev. E. S. Heisler, of Beloit, has
consented to allow his name to be used
for chaplain of the state senate. He
has been a resident of the state since
1875. In politics he is a Republican,
having cast his first vote for Lincoln.
He served in the army over four years,
and was in number of battles. He is
a member of Beloit G. A r. post,
Mr.. Heisler is an ordained elder in the
church of United Brethren, and it is
said this church has never had a chap
lain in either legislative branch in the
state. He has spent his life in the
army and ministry to make his coun-
try and her people better and happier.
He is capable to perform the duties of
the chaplaincy. The senate will make
no mistake in electing Mr.. Heisler their
chaplain.
Among the many good things Beloit
is after is the consolidation of her two
Republican journals, the Gazette and
Times. Politically, they stand: The
former, square deal; the latter, stand
patter. The newspaper men who know
him best will be glad to know that
Charley Sessions is after a deal of this
sort. Two good newspapers is all that
Beloit needs, and her people Will will
ingly support them. The Call and Ga
zette-Times can fill the bill The re
cent consolidation of the two Repubi-l
can papers in Philipsburg was wise
move and why won't it be good
thing for Beloit. 1t is to be wished
that Charles Sessions will bring about
the consolidation, and that his name
will be at the head as editor and pro-
John F. Jones, of Grinnell, ex-mem-
Der of the legislature from Cove coun-
ty, is a great believer that in every
half dozen years his county raises
bumper crops. Commencing in 1885,
when he first located in Cove county,
and following up six years to 1891, and
again in 1897, then in 1903, and next year
in 1909, he expects to witness great crop
Yields in his section. Mr.. Jones has
the years down pat, for he is vitality
interested in crops, as he conducts an
implement business in Grinnell, and
handles grain in the thrifty towns of
GrinneH and Quinter, in Cove county,
and Collyer, Trego county.
Otis L. Benton will erect a $4,000
residence in Oberlin next year. He is
a successful business man, has made
his money there and Oberlin, Decatur
county and northwest Kansas is going
to be his home.
