He will probably spend the winter there and return here in the spring, We have scarcely called attention to our candidute on the national and state tickets; but it is because we deem it unnecessary, as nil are so certain of election, and by rousing majorities.

Tun experience this county has had in the past is enough to uigc the voters, republicans, democrats, farmers and all, to vote for a man like Ed. Hopkins for county attorney. We willl stake our "little all" that his administration will be free from the lenst sign of corruption. Voters, you who look to your interests and thnt of your county, vote for Ed. Hopkins.

A correspondent in Seward county writes us the following notes from Liberal: Much wheat being sown in this county, which is furnished by railroad company at $1 per bushel, with note one year 10 per cent, interest; will be much broomcorn planted next year, some ten, twenty, fifty, and fewonehun-dred acres. Cane does splendidly here. Big returns this year. Somccorn thirty-five to forty-five bushels to the acre. Two threshers 'at work in county.

Some fields going twenty-four bushels to the acre. No end to watermelons. Tea-mi! show well. Seward county took third prize in county exhibits at State Fair this year. Kansas Farmer.

Farmers, which will you have for your next county attorney, Jake Adams, the Springfield banker, who has been loaning you money at lour and five per cent; and closing in on you as soon as your notes fall due, or Ed Hopkins, a lawyer and an honest, straigtforward voting man, who is capable of filling the office the voters of this county have brought him out for? Mr. Hopkins, while he is now working with zeal for the county attorneyship, was put before the republican county convention by earnest solicitation of the republicans of this county; and many farmers and friends, unsolicited, we might say, by him; and he merits your undivided support; while Mr. Adams is not only as we have stated above, but in addition, his name was before the republican convention and seeing no hopes for his nomination his name was withdrawn that he might appear before the furmer'sconvention. Now that such is the true state of affairs thus connected with his being put before the people, we ask, is he making a fair race? And we leave it for you to decide atyour own free will. An enthusiastic republicican meeting was held Wednesday night of last weeek, in which W.

H. Day, candidate for representative, and J. T. Botkin, our present register of deeds, of Springfield, addressed the people. Mr.

You oil no what that means.

W. D. Miller, one of our prosperous furmcrs, left a peanut vine ot our office this week, that, when stripped of its "fruit," filled a half gallon bucket to overflowing; and they were not little things either, but these kind that cause the street vender to yell double jointed, hump-backed, Califo Kansas peanuts. Mr. Miller did not so inform us, but by and through the knowledge of one of his reliable neighbors, we learned that the peanuts when planted were roasted.

We btlieve this to be true as the peanuts on the vine were in that condition when presented to us, TWENTY" MINUTES IN LIBERAL. Not a very long time it is true, to do a town thnt has acquired the wide celcbri-ty which has that of Liberul, Kansas. It is located a few miles from No Man's Land on a level prairie; the plan of the town site presenting on irregular appearance to a visitor, as business is scattered in every direction. The most magnificent buildings are the depot hotel and round house, erected by the railroad company. There ore a few others that command more than a passing notice.

Those mentioned are nice ones and evidence the intention of the company to make the city a good one so far as it may be in their power, having established a division at that place. We had only time to shake hands with agent Mullen and answer his multitudinous questions, then visit the printing offices of the city. The first sighted 'vas the Chronicle, where we found Mr. Newcom, the genial editor and proprietor, having recently purchased his partner's interest in the office. Of course he was busy.

Theoffice is a good one, fully up to the city, and the Chronicle is an excellent paper. We next tried the door of the Leader office, but found no one in. Gazing in the window we saw the material for a good office, but the presses were not in motion as would indicate a lively city. Then we hurriedly went to the Democrat office, finding it nt the top of the golden stairs in charge of that pioneer, the undaunted Shollenbarger. There being no job outfit we could but form an opinion that it was run for revenue on- ly.

We believe there is a brighter future for Liberal than is now apparent and that her star of destiny will remain in the heavens for some time to come. Meade Republican. AN INVITATION. Headquarters invita-1 TION COMMITTEE. Boston, Colorado, Oct.

Mr. Keiffer was one of the very first to advocate harmony in the county after the troubles in our county had been finally settled, and has endeavored to unile both sides of the county to a friendly feeling towards each other; and now, on the face of all this, to have such a pimp as that man Kemper tomakeinsin-uations (not being able to come out boldly and fearlessly and substantiate them with truths) on the character of a gentleman and private citizen, so highly respected as Mr.

Keiffer is, in Seward county; we consider it a breach upon the respectable and honest people of our county. The people of this county know Mr. Keiffer too well to sanction such insinuations, coming from the foul and dirty mouth of the man that fathers them, Kemper. This gross insult upon a decent republic will be greeted with a rousing majority for Mr. Keiffer on next Tuesday.

To give our people just a faint idea as to the character of this man Kemper, and to what class he belongs, we will just state that he is the man Kemper that went up to Grant coqnty and registered to vote there in the county seat election, and was to vote for Appomattox. He went up again on the day the election came off, and was ready to do his customary dirty work, and upon arriving there, to his very great sorrow discovered that Appomattox was not buying votes; and he turned towards home very much dissatisfied.
