Tbe Fink brotbers, will build large dwelling bouses Ibis summer. The happiest fellow now a-diiya is tbe Kansas farmer. Coal is niue dollars pet ton in Great Bend, compare that price with four and a half rlollars per ton in Kussoll, and see if you can't figure ont a saving of fifty per for all tbe dwellers in Uussell.

About two or three weeks ago the common expaesslou was "It looks very much like adroulb" but we faucy that Idea ha entirely vanished from tbe minds of the fainclrs now. for they look as happy as C'nm In high water. During tbe storm on Wednesday tbe 20ih loft. 9 miles south of bere ball stones fell to.depth of four Inches, aud fanners In that immediate vicinity fear that Iheir wheat bas been greatly damaged thereby. We notice a great many young trees along tbe creek that have come up this spring from seed wnion fell last fall such as ash, etc.

Mrs. Ann Eliza Young, Lrighara Young's 19th wife will speak in this city on Monday evening, Thus we bave penned tbe above paragrapt, but really when you come to anylizer, she Is not that de patted Woilby's 19 in wife at ail but Young's nineteenth widow. Or to be yet more exact we should not say Young widow but Vidow Young. The religious eervWs held at tbe residence of N. Gernon on Habbath morning last were well attended, some forty or mote beiujj present.

A church organization was formed, aud services hereafter will br- beld reguiaily. Thus from this date, Catholic Kites may be Inluded among the religious privileges extended to all who come to reside in this city. Co. Surveyot Show Is one of the busiest county officers now in Russell. The demands of the gieat number of new comers and others to have their lands surveyed keeps him almost constantly employed in traversing the various portious of this Ui: county, tbe great amouut of very delicate work which be has performed having been attended, so lar as we can learn, with general satisfaction.

We invite tbe earnest attention of the reader to the Platform laid down by the Greenback club at their recen meeting iu this city, and presented in this bsue of tbe Independent. This briefly enunciated political creed, un dera resolution, is open at all limes for discussion, aud all earnest minds seeking the Truth are cordially invl ted to attend and take part in these meetings.
