KEEPS ALL Celebrated the Tenth Anniversary of tlielr Wedded Lite Yesterday Kvening, A Largo Tumber of their Friends Help izuLke the Occasion one long to ba liemeiabcred.

The- Namron Ire-ient- and the Tonor. Ten years sgo yesterday, Mr. H. T. Bun-drem and Miss Frank McFanon were united in the holy bonds of matrimony, by the Rev.

J. C. Fraker, of the Methodist church Ten years ago last evening two-hearts were made one by the strongest ties known to humanity. Thought, feeling and purpose ofthe two minds and hearts were made to mingle, and blend together so as to form one smooth stream, to flow on down through the meandering of life. Changes have taken place; death has entered many a household in Emporia and carried away the companion of some loving heart, in the last decade, yet Mr.

and Mrs. Bundrem have been, through the kind will of Providence, permitted to live and enjoy the blessings of their married life and the smiles of fortune. Yesterday evening called to memory the day. the hour, the events and the vows connected with the occasion of their marriage. Yesterday evening was the retrospective glass by which they were enabled to call to mind ten years of married life.

The occasion was celebrated in an appropriate manner, by inviting their numerous friends to call at their pleasant and commodious mansion and spend the evening, and the manner in which they entertained their guests will long be remembered. Refreshments, consisting of rolls, coffee, ice cream and cake, and peaches, were served about twelve o'clock, which were partaken of with a relish that was a compliment to Mrs. Bundrem, and showed that she was a housewife of no ordinary skill and taste. The grounds were brilliantly lighted up with Chinese lanterns, and while those indoors were indulging in dancing, cards and music, the yard was full of promenaders enjoying the pleasant breeze and indulging in conversation and singing. We cannot give the names of those present, as there were near two hundred, but a gayer, happier gathering we never saw.

The presents were stored away in a room to themselves, and the following is the list as near as we could get it Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Bennett Lunch box.

Saturday for the purpose of nominating a county ticket, which was done. The ticket nominated by the Greenbackers is, we will say in this connection, composed of some good men.

and some not so good. However, the dadies of this convention bespeak for it success at the coming election. How this will terminate is hard to telL as new candidates are taking their places alongside the regular nominees, and will be the means of defeating somebody. The result of the election is extremely doubtful. The convention organized by placing Judge Watson in the chair, and electing J.

M. Spangler Secretary. After the committee on credentials made its report, the committee on resolutions reported the following: Ilesolted, That the Greenback party of Lyon county endorse the principles expressed in the Kansas State Greenback platform, with the addition that the amount of legal tender money be limited by constitutional provision. Mesolted, That the candidates nominated by this convention be pledged to support its platform. The" convention then proceeded to the nomination of candidates for county officers, with the following result: For Clerk of the CourtJ.

C. Williams received 74 votes, and T. B. Nees 5 votes. Williams nominated.

The Hertford Enterprise came to hand again last Saturday. About three times the Enterprise has been reported dead, and three times it has appeared to torment its enemies. It has as many lives as a cat. If we are correctly informed, the T. S.

F. railroad company will shortly be gin the erection of a stone round house at this place. It is reported that it is to be large enough to hold sixty or seventy en gines. T. Johnson, of this city, announces himself in this issjxe of The Sun as candidate for Sheriff, subject to the fall election.

-Mr. Johnson is a good man, well qualified for the position, and will doubtless poll a good vole, notwithstanding the fact that he is BCt endorsed by any convention. WTicn a man enters the postoffice and seas a woman standing at tho delivery, be braces up, smiles, and concludes to wait patiently a few moments. If there arc two women there, he sneak's up behind them and tries to wink at the clerk to get his mail. But when one of the women enters into conversation with the official as to the reasons why the magazine has not come, and how long before it will be here, and if he ia sure he looked in the right box, the citizen jama his hat down over his eyes and strides out of the postoffice lobby in a way wouM do credit to a professional pedestrian.

The next day he negotiates for, lock box. Chas. A. Gitchell, representative of the Kansas City Times, is in the in the of that ji.uiUiJ.' We every Democrat in thin county would have the Times sent to him during the comintr cam paign. Nellie has a four-year-old sister Mary, who complained to mamma that her were "hurting." "Why, Matie, you've put them on the wrong feet." Puzzled and ready to cry, she.

made answers "What'll I do, mamma, they's all the feet I've got!" What did you think of my statement about The Scn, last week?" asked the editor of Ledger of one of our county officials. "Why, I never read the Ledger" replied the official. Mc. wanted to see a man just then. Every now and then some chap writes to a newspaper for a receipe to prevent hair from coming out.

If men would go home from the lodge before midnight, with their legs sober, their hair wouldn't come out so rapidly. We always go home early, and we have more hair now than the day we were born. "My dear boy," said a mother to her son, as he handed round his plate for more turkey, "this ia the fourth time you've been helped." "I know, mother," replied the boy, "but that turkey pecked at me once, and I want to get square with him." lie got his turkey. Said a candidate on the Greenback ticket to his son, "Look at me! I began as a farmer, and here I am at the top of the tree; and what is my reward? Why, when I die, my son will be the greatest rascal in the county." To this the young hopeful replied, "Yes, dad, when you die but not till then." Edward Fleischer, editor of the Atchison Courier, called to see us to-day. Mr.

Fleischer publishes the leading and most influential German paper in-Kansas, and he deserves success and his journal a largo circulation among his countrymen, it being ably conducted. The Courier, al though Republican in politics, will wild its influence for the Qefeat of Ryan in this dis trict. The Kansas Greenhacker, published in this city by Spangler Trask, is on our table. It is an eight -page paper, six columns to the page, ami published at the low price of one dollar per year. It will be run in the interest of the Greenback party, and will labor for the election of the State, Congressional and county Greenback tickets.

The publishers labored under a good many disadvantages in gettingout their first issue, and consequently the paper does not appear as well this week as it will in the future. Success to the reenhucJcer. Last Friday a young man by the name of E. Redley, who has been sick and out of work for some time past, resorted to a new and original trick whereby to defraud "Blind Davis." who keeps the little store in tho corner of the court house yard. The way in which be went about it is this.

The young man had a twenty-dollar confederate note, whiph was one among the last issue of the "lost cause," being dated February 17, ISO which he presented to Davis, telling him it was a one dollar First National Bank note, and called for two cigars. Davis took the bill, changed it and gave him the cigars. He afterwards learned the nature of the bill and had yourg Rcdley arrested and taken before Judge Bacheller, who sent him to jail for twenty-four hours. Vegetable Market.

Cole. The newsof the death of Mrs. J. A. Cole reached the city Saturday evening, but was not generally known until Sunday, when it was announced from the different pulpits.

The deceased had enjoyed good health up to last Monday, when she was taken ill with bilious fever. On Wednesday she appeared somewhat better, but in the evening was attacked with congestion of the brain. Thursday and Friday found her considerably better, but on Friday evening she grow worse and all efforts to rally her were ineffectual. She failed rapidly until half -past 4 o'clock, Saturday afternoon, when she died. Mrs.

Cole was the mother of Mrs. G. W. Pye, of this city. She was a kind and loving mother, and possessed all the attributes of a true christian character.

She leaves a large family to mourn her loss, most of whom being located in distant 6tates, were unable to attend the funeral. Mrs. Cole was born in the year 1812, and was married to Mr. J. A.

Madison, Aug. 16. Feeling somewhat interested in the progress of our section of country, I take this opportunity of making it known through the colunms of your valuable paper. During a recent trip up the Verdigris valley I found the crops of all description good, and a large number of bearing orchards containing aa.abundance of fruit. This valley is one of the most fertile and productive in the State, and the slope land is unequalled anywhere.

As a stock county, Greenwood is not excelled, there being unlimited range, and the water courses are numerous and flowing the purest water in Kansas. Land is cheaper here according to its value than in any portion of the State of which we have information, and those wishing homes will find some rare bargains. The price of land ranges from $2.50 to 10 per acre, though there are several tracts that can be purchased at the rate of $1.75 per acre. All that is needed to develop this county and prove to the world the truth of our assertions, is railroad connection with points east. The fact that the M.

K. T. R. R. company have thousands of acres of land for sale, and that the bulk of the immigration to this portion of the country comes over that road and is intercepted by its agents and located on its land, ia the reason why so much of our county as yet unimproved.

But with our flattering prospects of a railroad connection with the east, it will not be long until Greenwood county will take her place in the front rank as to the number and wealth of her agricultural population. The town of Madison has now four grocery stores, two drug stores and a hotel. The "Madison House," conducted by T. B. McClure, is now prepared to accommodate the public with all the luxuries of the season.

The business of the town is very fair and stead ily increasing, and the merchants are hap py. There has been considerable sickness though of no very serious character, and our doctors have concluded to stay with us for a while yet. The best plan for a doc tor in this county is to go to farming, then he can probably make a living. Here is a chance or.Shupe to make mon ey. The editor of the JTational Labor Tribune, of Pittsburg, makes him the following offer: "We are willing to subscribe for ten thousand copies of the Advocate, provided the paper be sent us imprinted in the bundles in which it is received from the manufacturer, and that security be given there shall be no 6udden discontinuance after the fall elections.

If this offer be accepted, we have a sure thing on. -saving $3,700 a year on our paper bills." Now, Waiter, if you can sell the Advocate with a profit, at the present rate, after paying for the editorial work, the press work, the composition, and mailing, it stands to reason that you can afford to sell the imprinted paper at the same rate. By all means close with the offer of the Labor Tribune. The money you make by the transaction wil help, you know, to defray the expenses you incurred during the "late unpleasantness" at Syracuse.
