L. Mcllek, Ascrut. SOCIETIES. wees. The Monitor is a little lato with the election returns, but considering the fact that they are the only perfect ones yet published in the county, we hope that part of it will be overlooked.

Tom Itardiman, from tlia Miller settlement, was in town Wednesday. Tom has just returned from a trip west, and reports the late storm as being very severe iti eastern Colorado. Frank Weir, our gentlemanly under sheriff and sheriff elect, was eon Sued lo his room with a severe spell of sickness, the latter part of last week, but is now able to take his reghias rashens. Work ou the court house was partially suspended the first of the week, on account of the bad Aeather, but the boys are making the fly now, and expect to have it enclosed by the iirst of January. Sum Armstrong left Wednesday, for Columbus Kansas, where he will open up a barber shop.

Fred Roach was up from the Cimarron, Tuesday, making preparations to start on a journey to merry old Hingland. Fred has been in the county as long as anybody, and is probably as well liked. We regret to lose such boys from our county, and feel assured iti saying, nothing but a "Fair one" would induce lvi to undertake a trip across the briny deep.

J. W. Sanders, is in from Baa comity, Colorado, and reports Sion-ington as having received majority of votes cast for county-seat at the general election, though not receiving a plurality over other contestants. This virtually settles the question in favor of Stoniugtoii, as Vila, a healthy county seat aspirant, will, no doubt, throw her strength iu favor of that town. Jesse Northcutt, our popular attorney, leaves tomorrow, for "Vinidad.

By strict attention to business, Jesse has built up a practice in southwestern Kansas, that has been envied by attorneys who have practiced in courts as long as Jesse is obi. While we very much regret to lose him from our county, we heartily recommend him to the people of Trinidad, and bespeak for him a lucrative practice. First class in every respect.

There are a few measely kickers left in this county whose absence would not be regreted. Albert Reaves, of the southwest portion of the county, was la the county capital Thursday.

Tbe court bouse boys are a jolly crew, and will be missed when their work is completed at this place. We are in receipt of a letter complementing Morton comity, on the vote cast for Bodkin, forjudge.
