"Yes, and only wait until we get our depot and railroad division," supplemented the next shouter, standing around in overcoat and with hands in pocket, as though a job on the road for exercise a square meal would be a luxury, "Only wait," added the third who was evidently a new hand at shouting for county seats in the new west "until we get our broom factory and our sugar factory." Thus it has ever been. "Only wait" has for years been the burden of your cry, and the seedy, solemn, halting, doubting aspect pervading everything and everybody in your burg still sounds the sad refrain. "Only wait," and moved by the all pervading melancholy hanging over you, we blend our voice in unison.

Only wait until the glimmer, Of your faintest hope is gone; Only wait until the blizzard Howls its requiems through your town. Wait until your maw is empty. And your duds are running low; And your bogus county warrants Like your town are going slow. Wait until the gathering darkness And surroundings rightly fit, Then without a moment's warning Do not wait, "git up and git." R. R.

Every farmer should have plenty for home use, and all that is needed is that the determination to do so should be kept up for twelve months in the year. The time required is very little, but too many only get the small fruit fever in berry time, and have a chill in hoeing time.

American National Bank, Kansas City Mo. Trego County Bank, WaKeeney, Kansas. West Side South Main Street, Horace, Kansas leal Matti Incidentally we heard some par ties discussing the probable monthly pay roll of railroad employees at Horace, and their widely differing aroused our curiosity regarding a very important matter. One would easily form false ideas regarding this matter, so very thorough and systematic is every detail of business, and yet we have in our city the evidence ti this great industry and all who will may investigate the truth of our figures. We well knew that the business of the Mo.

Pacific road directly and that growing out of jit was a great one, but we confess that while, we had set our estimates much higher than the parties wh.om we heard expressing their views, yet we were entirely too low. Being desirous of learning thetruth of the matter with faber in hand calledupon the gentlemanly agent Mr. H. G. Scott, and made our wishes known and were very soon in possession of the following figures: There are fifty men paid at this point, at the lowest estimate.

There are two passenger and three freight trains daily. There are beside many extra freight crews at present as the road is doing an enormous business. There are engineers, firemen, conductors, brakemen, machinists, hostlers, wipers, coal heavers, and tw section gangs, all residents of our city. A the lowest estimate there is paid monthly to Ihese road operatives and now the pay roll reaches a point above $4,000. Thus it will be seen at a glance that the city of Horace has that in way of good paying imployment for labor which no other city near us has or can have.

$4,000 monthly to be paid out among the various branches in the city is no small matter. $4,000 paid monthly to our citizens for their labor is no small thing. The increased value of property by reason of the location of the permanent division in our city is no small thing, and the improved market for farm produce by reason the great number of held here is indeed no small item and a feature of good which will grow with our growth and proye a of great worth to all. Compared with cash value of the railroad interests at this the matter of county seat sinks into nothingness, and it requires no prophetic eye to see the business interests of Horace will attract and absorb the county seat in a little time. Mr.

Clarence Walter has secured the position of coal boss at the Mo. Pacific division yards in this city. Clarence is a first-class young man and will do his duty in any apur ty. H. J.

Derse has secured a position at the division yards. The Mo. Pacific is handling an immense amount of freight now. From two to five extra trains go through every day and night. W.

J. Shearer, one of the section boys, has proved up his claim in the U. P. Colony and moved his family into town. F.

M. Gosnell has secured a job on the section. An early promotion should be made in this case. Lingg, the Mo. Pacific detective was here this week.

He is a shrewd one. Jo. Purdy, who has held the position of wiper at the division yards for the past six months, has gone to Illinois to spend the winter. Word comes from Monon that tlie round house contractor will be here on the 17th of next month with a force of 1 op men to put up the division buildings and other DR. C.

She urges workman to secure the services of Tribune attorneys(?) in filing leins on said water works of Horace, and hazzards the opinion that the workmen will not be paid. It is a fact that aside from the Horace water works and the Horace railroad division the citizens of Trib- une have litttle or nothing to do.

It is really amusing to note the anxiety depicted on tljeir countenances as they stand on the street corners and gaze down the scenes of business activity always on the boards at Horace. It must be excruciating torture to the Tribunite when showing their burg to strangers to be asked if that city only a little way down the road where you see severi or eight steaming up for business is Horace, and if Horace has got the division of the Missouri Pacific railroad? They always say no, to the division business, and point out the stakes little Glenn has set out in the vacant lots of Tribune and say there is where the round house will be, and other stakes there is to be the shops when all the while their countenances though so very metalic are apologizing for the lie.
