Rev. Sutton left nis meeting at Baker's, to attend a wedding service in Harvey county and another near Galva, this week. There is considerable complaint of the dry weather injuring the late sown wheat. Probably the damage is not so great as feared. R.

M. Hall is in poor health and Mrs. Hall has been quite unwell, though both were able to be out at prayer meeting Thursday evening. Windom has a lively little newspaper, the RECORD. Those who want to keep posted in matters ocouring in the western part of the county, should send for Republican.

A few dollars invested by our in a couple of pairs of boxing gloves, has eventuated in lots of fun and a few bruised noses, this week. The vote this fall in this county will probably be a large and strictly party vote. The leading tickets are made up of candidates who ought to poll a strong vote. One member of the State Board of Health kicks against the order of vaccination, and declares that his children shall not submit to it. Some our citizens feel about the same way.

F. Holt 18 out with about the nicest crop of turnips we have ever seen. By the way if Fred makes as great a success as commissioner as does at everything else he undertakes, wont ho be boss? Williams Brothers March did a fine business in furniture and hardware last Thursday, selling some bills which went fifteen miles into the country. Fair prices and square dealing will bring trade. A man of singular conduct with a razor for defense, and a small stock corn and raw potatoes for "grub," two in the 6 stopped an evening or house now vacant on East and Wal-16 nut streets, on his way to Missouri, We are glad to note that C.

A. Champlin instead of being soured, as, too frequently the case, has gallantenlisted in the interest of his previous competitor, and will labor for the election of Prof. Lindholm. This generous conduct of Mr. Champlin will confirm his old friends and make him many new ones.

If you haye friends abrogd whom you' wish to keep posted on local matters, send them the Recoup, only $1.25 a year to, your friends. We have many such subscriptions on our and have added a half dozen' to the diat this week. Fulton, pastor of the Baptist Omnirch at McPherson, preached to the people of Windom last Sundity morning, and of Conway in the Though advanced in yours Elder Fulton' is more abundant in labors than many younger men." The third quarterly conference for the Conway virenit will be held today with the society at Sparta. We hope they will undo some very bad work done: at the previous session, and for the sake of the cause restore lone of the best societies on the We have a special bargain in real astata to offer for the next thirty A splendid eighty acres, sixty in eultivation, a good stone house, barn, sheds, corrals, abundance of water, good pasture, seven miles from the city; All for $1400, 8800 cash, $600 on easy time.

RECORD. Contrary to numerons predictions, the F. P. Holt elevator with wind power is a clipper and does the work like a top. The capacious crib and convenient appliances for shelling, will enable Mr.

Holt to handle a large share of our present corn crop, and farmers may bring it in just as soon as it is dry enough assured of obtaining the highest price the market will justify. The family of Mr. Trulson on Little River, has been very much afflicted recently, some eight 1 members having been attacked with malarial fever.

A painful accident and remarkable escape occured a few days since at Peter Miller's, cast of Alpha. A little child five years old, by some fell before the wheel of a wagon with double box and heavily loaded with corn. the wheel passing directly over the body about the abdomen. Dr. Cordier was summoned at once, and though the injuries are of a serious nature, yet the little one 19 improving with hope cf recovery.

Mr. J. D. Wright, of Green Illinois, while on a hasty visit C. Bethard and John Kessinger, gave us a hearty greeting and took dinner with the RECORD family last Thurs: day.

"Doug" is one of Wrightsville's best young men; is a thorough bustness man, having had charge of a large mercantile business, is wonderfully pleased with this part of Kansns. We were glad to revive old memories and renew the plensant ance of the past. The RECORD editor occupied the pulpit of the First Baptist Church at McPherson last Sabbath and Sabbath evening, in the absence of the pastor, Elder Fulton, and formed many very pleasant acquaintances, They have an interesting Sabbath School of which Mrs. Fulton is superintendent, and a strong and vigorous church, prosporous under the present pastorate. We were kindly entertained Saturday evening by D.

B. Jeffers, and Sunday by S. C. Wright, and shall not forget this pleasant visit with these christian families. By an unfortunate complication of circumstances, for which perhaps no one was to blame, the school hotise was not opened for religious services last Sunday night, and we understand Rev.

Richardson, who was to supply Rev. Sutton's place, misconstrued it as a personal affront. Certainly nothing of the kind is intended, and if proof were needed that our people are too patient and forbearing to protect themselves in that way, it may be found in the fact that the doors have never before been closed against either past or present pastors. was simply an oversight. No doubt strangers have marked the reports of large vegetation in this part of the state.

We want to explain that these are not fancy weights and measures; pumpkins. 116 pounds; watermelons, 135 pounds; potatoes, and eight pounds, and corn 14 to inches long; these are accurate and real. In spite of the opinion which prevails east, the fact is that Kansas has one of the grandest crops of grain, vegetables and fruits, to be found anywhere in the Union, and these wondrous growths are not circumscribed by location, but are cooxtensive with settlement and culture. The year but may the be a food close one is in othering respects. supply ant.

G. Mead, editor of the McPherson Republican, was a visitor Wednesday. The Republican is the "child of his old age" and he is justly proud of it. Mr. Plummer and Miss Lillie Tebbe drove over from Serling last Sunday to call on Mrs.

Thomas Wallace was chosen superintendent. Corn has ripened very fast for soveral weeks, and is now ready for husking. Some of our neighbors commenced last week. Look out Mr. Holt, we are ahead of you on big sweet potatoes.

His last sickness was brief, but no medical shill could avoid the fatal issue. Tho funeral services were conducted from the house by Rev. J. G. Sutton, and the remains interred in the Sharpe Creak cemetery, followed by sorrowing friends and neighbors.

He had been a most exemplory mani, upright in his dealings, and was universally esteemed. He had by his industry amassed considerable property, and had invented a very ingenious time register for railroad trains. As God weighs character rather than "profession," may we not hope that when "the books are opened" his name will be found written in "the book of life?" Paid Ups.
