Hudspeth has moved from Manhattan
to 1913 Park street. S. f. Kendall has
built a new house in Shorey and will
move there in the near future. Other
people are expected to build in that

This is "some pumpkins of a story,
a tale of Ed Wards generosity. Ed
O'Neill, county commissioner, was said
to have bought up all of the pumpkins
at the state fair last month before his
brother commissioner, f. s. Simms,
had a chance at them.
Now it came to pass that Mr.. Ward,
farmer north of Topeka, heard OF
this. Thereupon he hied himself to
the pumpkin uelu anu call elCLGO LAlCA
from a. pumpkin weighing 70 pounds,
saying: "Our North side commits
sioner shall not go without this kind of
fruit as long as I have any OF the same
left
So he brought the pumpkin to town
and laid it at Mr.. Simms' door. And
there was rejoicing in the Simms
household.
