Every ar ticle in and around his place of bus iness is new, fresh and pure: It is understood that a couple of foolish j-oung girls of this county let their passions get the belter of them, and on Saturday last began a career of debauchery with the show outfit. They are supposed to have left with that crowd as all efforts on the part of their parents to find them have thus far been foiled.

A few short months, at most, will elapse, and a life made up of shame and all that is miserable will end in a nameless grave. Died Miss Rachel daughter of David D. and M. A. Thompson, of Morganville, April 24th, A.

1879, in the 21st year of her age, This devoted daughter left to mourn her death many warm friends and relatives. Our loss is her eternal gain. Then how can we refrain from saying, how glorious is the death of those who die in the Lord The funeral rervice was conducted by Bev. G. E.

Gray, from the text "she is not dead but sleepeth." The occasion was attended by many friends. The interment took place at the Sherman cemetary. A. From the farm of Peter John son, situated on the high pra'rie four and a half miles north of this city, a specimen of winter wheat was taken on Friday last which was worth attention. It measured full two and a half feet in stalks were strong enclosing partially grown heads.

The field from which it was taken, cmbraeos forty acres, and the whole is thickly covered with plants of which the sample was but an average. Our high prairies with their deep foils with thorough cultivation will prove the rivals of the best bottom lands. Many even now prefer them for farms because they are surer to bring paying crops of wheat and corn 'car in and out than the others, while for fruits of all kinds they are much superior. A Chivarie. On Saturday evening, April 2Glh, the 3'outh around Powclsburg supposing that Geo.

Shirley was to bo unitedin wedlock with.Eacina Kiscr organized a band equipped with tin horns, pans, cow-bells, and other musical instruments, and started for the sceno of action. Arriving there they commenced a concert which woke the echoes for miles around, but failed to get any response from the young couple. Inquiry revealed the fact that they were not to be married till the next Sunday afternoon, whereupon the band beat a retreat. They tell tho joke that the bride-to-be was locked in a trunk mistletoe-bough fashion, in expectation of some fatal result, and was not to be seen on that occasion. Sunday evening tho ceremony was performed, and on the Friday following, tho new married couple set out a fine supper for the boys as a compensation for their disappointment.

PERSONAL. Sol Waxelbaum, the merchant prince of May Day, was interviewing his many friends in this city on Tuesday last. J. W. Miller, Justice of the Peace and Police Judge, is a native of Connecticut, and in March, 1870, came from New London in the above mentioned State and located in this city where he at once became popular, and where his popularity has never decreased.

In office he has always been his own successor except that of post master, which position he held from March, 1871, to the date of resignation, May 4, 1878. Mr. Miller is a straight Ilepublican, strictly honest in his convictions, and equally so in all business transactions. In making, difficult collections Mr. M.

has no equal, and as a business man generally, few if any superiors in any locality. Ho is popularly known as tho "Old Reliable J. W. Miller, J. etc Kansas City Tribune.

Poor Farm. Remember that at tho next election, the question of birying a County Farm for the support of the poor, is to bo submitted to the voters of this county. Every tax-payer is deeply interested in tho matter, and should give it careful attention. Referring to the bills for tho support of paupers, allowed and paid by the County Commissioners for the past few will be seen that enough has already been expended to paj-for a half dozen poor farms. Besides such bills are 6tcadily increasing with no prospect of diminution.

Many now supported wholly, or in great part, by the county, could upon a county farm nearly cam their own living and thus save the county much expense. Such as are helpless could be supported at less than half the cost now incurred for them, while the children of paupers could be trained to habits of industry which would save them from the fate of their parents. Under the management of a competent farm would in a few years produce quite enough to cover all expenses, and tho poor be furnished with ft honvc more suited to their habits and 'wonts thfm can ments. Think the matter over and be prepared to cast a ballot which will conduce to your own good as well as that of the unfortunates who are in -our midst. OVlt CITY The City Council met in regular session on Tuesday evening last.

Andy Snodgrass was appointed Cify Marshall and Street Commis sioner.
