Sherman Richardson, dry goods and notion merchants, first door north of the P. although comparatively a new firm in this place, arc doing a good business. Those who contemplate purchasing anything in their lino will lose nothing by calling on them.

Tho Emporia News well said that if the election had been held a month ago, the Greenbacks rs would have swept tho field. Money makes the marc go you know. The Republican party had it all, and so they won. But next year we will try another race. Mr.

Chas. Cook, the proprietor of the new dry goods ptore, now occupying the rooms formerly occupied by (the Hall Bros. 1GG Commercial street, has recently returned from the East where he made purchase of the largest and most saleablo stock of goods ever brought to this city, and announces the fact to our readers. Mr. Win.

Ramp, of this city, received a telegram from Kansas City on last Sabbath, stating that his son, who has been a commission merchant nt that place for a number of years, was at the point of death. Mr. and Mr9. Ramp left for Kansas City by the first train. Mr.

Ramp returned Wednesday evening, his son having died on Tuesday morning. "We have often been asked by individuals who have never invested a nickel in the Greenbacker office, if the paper was dead? We have always answered in the negative! Others have asked if this is the last issue, which we answer in the affirmative. This is the last number, next week another, the next week another, and so on to the end of time, "if no preventing Providence," and why not? Our circulation is increasing, and the advertising patronage good. Luther Benson, of Indiana, said to ho the most powerful temperance orator in the world, will speak at Bancroft Hall Sunday evening, the 17th in9t. He has been speaking during tho past two months in Kansas, and has thrillod and convinced the people in a wonderful manner.

From present appearances Bancroft Hall will be overflowing. Let cverbody hear him. Go early. No charge for admission. Out of ten or twelve personals in the Urbana (111.) Herald, we notice the name of Mrs.

J. C. Sheldon, mother of our popular druggist, C. C. Sheldon, who is visiting her son in Emporia; also the name of D.

C. Viers, A. Lewis, and a number of others who accompanied the excursion to Emporia. Mrs. C.

C. Sheldon returned from her Illinois visit at the samo time. We were amused tho other day, also highly entertained by a call from our friend Chapman, who has been on his eai, for some time, in regard to articles appearing in the Green-backer signed Fox. We like friend Chapman's pluck, and the interest he takes in politics, but we rather doubt the propriety of his branding the author of those articles as a bad man as wc know he is a good Friend, in fact a much better Quaker than the irate Chapman.

rabbit hunt to come off soon, with Mr. Peyton's greyhound Sailor and Harry's Duke, provided Sailor gets over his lameness, caused by a leap through a ten dollar pain of glass, that so terribly lacerated his hind paws that it was necessary to load the poor fellow on the wagon to get him out of town. We hope the old champion will be ready to come to time, however, on the day appointed. Mrs. C.

O. Cragin, formerly Miss Lillie Sebastian, well known and be loved in this city, was brought from St. Louis a corpse on "Wednesday even ing, and buried in our cemetery on Thursday morning. The news of her death, unexpected to all, was re ceived by telegram Monday morning, and Capt. Sommers took the earliest train for St.

Louis, from whence he arrived with her remains as stated above. Mrs. Cragin had gone to St. Louis on a visit and expected to return in a few days; but that greatest of human foes came upon her in the night and claimed her as his own while she slept, the spirit gliding away to her God, leaving only the perishable remains of what was a pure and beau tiful woman. She died of appolexy.

The funeral took place from the resi dence of Capt. Sommers, the Rev. G. W. Pye preaching the funeral dis course, and loving hands with aching hearts laid her to rest by the remains of her husband, who departed life eleven months ago.

Mrs Cragin was the fifth child of John Sebastian; was born in Newport. Kentucky, in July, 1852, and came to this place with hei father in 1870. In 1872 she married Mr. C. O.

Cragin, of St. Louis, who died in this place a few mouths ago with quick consumption. Her sisters, Mrs. Barker, of Kansas City; Mrs. Torrington, of Eldorado, Mrs.

Bill, Mrs. Sommers and Mrs. this city, and her brother John Sebastian, and wife, of Chicago, were present at the funeral. She leaves two small children, bereft ot parents' care who will be nourished and cherished by her bereaved relatives as their own. KANSAS GREENBACKER.

When we commenced the publica tion of the Greenbacker at this place; three months ago, it was supposed by many that it was gotten up only as a campaign paper. Indeed, we did not know at that time whether it would last longer or not. The Greenback element was an unknown quantity then, and view our situation from what standpoint we would, it was at least an experiments But we are glad to say that the exprriment has proved a success in many things so much so that we have concluded to make it a permanent thing. Our subscription list has gradually increased day by day during the whole campaign, and for the last three weeks we have not had enough to supply the demand. We have ordered enough paper for 200 copies more, knowing that we will need every one of them, having had calls for 50 copies this week that we could not supply.

But our subscribers have almost to the man paid us but 25 cents, the price of one quarter's subscription, and many who are good men, and whom we know we can trust, have paid us nothing. We expect to add a job office to this paper, and as a conse-q ueuce we are in need of money. We -herefore ask all our readers who Go to McClary's peach butter. for quince and COL. SAM WOOD.

Wc take pleasure in informing our readers that Col. Sam Wood has become associated with us in the publication of the Greenbacker. Col. Wood is too well known in Kansas to need any further notice from us. Suffice it to say that he is a thorough Greenbacker- and has faith in the future success of our party.

Having now arranged to make the Green-backer a permanent institution, we ask our friends to rally to its support. Its low price, $1, makes it impossible to give credit or to offer premiums. Let our friends do their share, and we promise them the best paper in the Southwest. We stepped into I. D.

Fox Co's. book store Thursday evening, and that gentleman presented us with "Watching and Waiting" and "Maiden's Flower Song," two rare song ballads the first written by Madame Sainton Dolby and published by Oiver Ditson Boston, New York and Chicago and the next by Gyro Pm- suti and published by J. E. Ditson Philadelphia. We are no musician, but we know where we can have such things mastered.

As we listened to "Watching and Waiting" and followed it through the beautiful strains we bethought us of sorrow set to heavenly music, such as will fill many an aching heart with gladness. The "Maiden's Flower Song" is no less beautiful and instructive. They are worthy a place in every home in the land. The Nellie Boyd Dramatic Company are just ending a week's entertainment at Bancroft Hall, to the entire satisfaction of all who have been in attendance, under the management of Mr. Toohey.

Too-he-'s a show of himself, and Nelly Boyd is a brilliant Miss Clifford is a favorite of theater going people, and Mr. Hasen-winkle, although a ill-looking seven-footer of the stage is an old vetran and never fails to draw applause; that man Hart is irresis-table, he is at home on the cast, no matter where you put him, there is no "gushing over" to him. The balance of the company are proficient in their profession. All in all it is the best companj- that has visited this place for years. To-night they will present Augustin Daly's great drama, entitled "Under the Gas Light," or "Life and Love in these Times" Nellie Boyd as "Peach Blossom," or the Girl who was never "brought up," and Toohey as one of the undercrust, Bermudas.

Mr. Harry Davis and C. E. Hubbard. of Madison, were in the city, Tuesday and Wednesday.

They took in the theater, and were highly pleased with the entertainment. Father Cleveland, from the same place, was also in the city; he attended the lecture of the "Blind man Eloquent." but couldn't see the point, said it was entirely too deep for him. G. W. Peyton, from the same neighborhood, was also here, and two of his thoroughbred dogs.

If there is any one thing Mr. Peyton takes pride in, aside from his own kin, it is his dogs. They are all blooded stock, Whose dog-cestors can be traced back to the dark ages.
