A fanner disposed of one wagon load of watermelons and one load of musk-melons in a few minutes time before this ollice on Wednesday. The old fellow must have been a Harrison advocate also as he never once put single veto on any one of the cholera bumps he had for sale. In company with Editor Collett, of The Ellsworth Democrat, and behind his extra fine driving horse we visited Kanopolis on Saturday of last week, We found kanopolis to be an extra pretty and well built town right on the level perade grounds of old Fort Har ker. The strong stone fort buildings and officers quarters are all in good condition and are in use for dwellings etc.

The Kanopolis Journal has its ofllce in the stone and iron bared guard house, and in case of attack from any blood seeking subscribers might defy a thousand at a time to force an entrance. Among the live and wide awake men of business in Kan opol's we desire to name W. R. Kaf for of the wholesale firm of Kaffer Eros. Mr.

Kaffer is one of the most genial business men we ever met, and his stock of goods in his double store rooms and on first and second floors was full and composed of every variety needed In this state. It would pay to go a long distance to find such a slock and such a list of good and low priced goods to select from. GIVE PENSIONS TO THE BOYS IN BLUE. ForTheEAOLK. Hail Columbia Immortal name, We are told that all thy eons are free; We hear these words with chilling shame, Say boys in blue just look and see.

My comrades dear the negro's free. And we the battle storm did brave; That war raised Kings o'er you und me Aud made us an unwilling slave. Then let's to nil a pension give, Yus, all the gruy haired boys in blue; For while these golden Kings do live Our temperal blessings will be few. They own the soil, they own tho gold, They own their agents, higli and low, And yon and I nro bought and Hold-Protective lariil made it so. Of what account is the nation's wealth.

To those who oft their sabres drew; If to millionaires it goes by stealth Instead of to the boys in blue. Those empty sloeves their stories tell, As sure ns Holy writ 'tis true; Within those sleeves a volume dwell. Of hardships borne by the boys in bine. And now these boys are growing old, Has each to his home a title true? No, the moniod Kings sleek and bold Now own the homes of the boys in blue. Then grunt them pensions, delay it not.

There's none deserving more tlinn they; But for their sturdy arms our lot Would be otherwise than it is to-day. PICNIC. The Coal Bank Sunday School ill hold a banket picnic in their grove on Thursday, August 23rd. They cor. dially invite tho Wilson and other neighboring school; to unite with them.

Coal is still very cheap at our Wilson mines, and people ought to lay in good supply now for winter use. Wilson can for a town of its size, produce as many handsome young ladies as you can pick out of a like number anywhere. Mr. Geo. Coffey and Wm.

Debitt have both been on the sick list during the week- Doth are better at present What i pity old father Noah did not let his wife set fly paper and poison those two flies he had with him in the ark. Be it ever so humble, there is no spot on earth so dear as the home of your best girl, if the old folks only happen to be away. A wife is a man's better half. And when a man runs away with his neigh bor's wife it is to get the better half of him, isn't it?

No matter how bad or destructive the village boy may be he never stoops so low as to throw mud balls against the lovely pictures on a circus poster board. Some of the sidewalks in this bor ough are troubled with the heaves, and for the Bake of decency and comfort should be repaired without further delay.

Quite a number of families are now moving back into Kansas and Missouri from Colorado. They do not care to remain where they have been over winter, There are olght kinds of axes broad axe, narrow axe, pick axe, law axe, legislative axe, apostolic axe, axe her dad and have her dad axe all his neighbors to subscribe at once for The Eagle. We have no olijection to taking good wheat or flour from any of our farmer subscribers who would rather fpui'e that than the money on gubBcilptloji. We can also use good potatoes, stone coal, good wood, a few good young chickens, ham, fresh eggs or a good live 50 or 80 pound pig if the price anked is not too high.

They start out with 75 onts of well as sorted job type, and nothing but good work will be left go out of the office. We wish them success. Our first Issue, had but a few above two hundred actual knpwn subscribers who had given orders for The Eaole. This week we are sending out over eight hundred copies, and fully seven hundred and twenty-five of these are booked by order for six months or one year.

We are receiving letters and lists of names every day from old soldier comrades of the 201st and 202d Pennsylvania boys who propose to read and keep the full history of the war memories we are now publishing. In a week or two when we get in all the names we can find, we will publish each one and their present post office address for the good of all. Thus we can do a double good for our comrades by giving them not only the "old journal records," but a new introduction to one an other so they can write and work up a reunion If they so desire. We hope all who can will give us the names and post office address of all comrades Ihey can. It is a neat, clean and spicy eight column folio, edited by J.

Then put the pbsial note in an envelope and direct it to R. J.

Coffey, Wilson, Ellsworth county Kansas. Every now and then some good hearted and honest faced farmer walks into our office and exclaims, "here Mr. editor is one dollar for The Eaole and don't you neglect to send it promptly every week, or my wife will be here in Wilson looking after you with fire in her eye, in less than ten days, for she thinks more of your paper than a re publican office holder does of the free whisky plank in the G. 0.

The young cadets were out on drill on Saturday evening and they did not have to be backed up against a stone wall to get in line neither did they have to wear a straw band around one foot and a hay band around the other like they had to do witli the early Dutch Xew England boys when they first commenced to drill, in order to learn them how to take the right and left foot step.

H.

Thomas to describe and bound the state of matrimony, and he returned his answer as follows: "Matrimony is one of the United States. It is bounded by hugging and kissing on one side, and cradles and babies on one side. Its products are population, broomsticks and staying out late o'nights. It was discovered by Adam and Eve while trying to find passage througluVadise. The climate is sultry until yon pass through the tropics of housekeeping, when squally weather usually sets in with such power as to keep all hands as cool as a cucumber.

For the principle roads leading to this State, consult the in st pair of blue eyes you see." All postmasters in Ellsworth and Russell counties are authorized to receive the names of new subscribers or subscription money for us from any old or new subscriber to the Eagle. These gentlemen have all treated us and the Eaole very kindly, and we trust that we in turn can some day do for each of them soroo ike kind favor. 'ay your subscription money to them and just ns soon as we receive it, you shall receive from us a receipt for the amount, as wo mean to do a fair square business and no one will ever have to pay us twice for on paper. We also trust as times are dull that all who can will send us in the pay as soon as possible, so we can give our whole time to getting up for pur readers a first class newspaper, in place of exing out our life each week in dnn- ing up enough to pay our hands and paper bills. Do your best for us kind patrons of the Eaole, and we in turn shall do our best for you.

Our advice to eastern people who may read this item, and who have a notion to sell off and move west, is to do so this fall. Also to come right here to Wilson Kansas, or near it, if you desire to locate In a healthy, heart-some and fertile portion of the great wet. Here you will find soil so rich that you and your children can never exhaust it, good water, pure air, bright sunshine, short winters, no ague or fever, kind citizens, level country, plenty of good stone-coal, the best building stone in the Union, a lovely town of 2,000 population, no mud any season of the year and all else that goes to make a country pleasant to live In. And just now is the best time any eastern man will ever find to come here and get the very choicest of locations for the lowest price that Ellsworth county homes and lands will ever sell at. No man can ever regret it if he will take the advice The Eagle gives him here, and invests his money in Ellsworth or Russell counties this fall.
