We hope the report is true. Now that the election is over and the high school located here let us turn our undivided attention to the sugar mill. Every farmer within a radius of five miles of Attica should take stock in it to the extent of his ability. The time to advertise is when business is dull.

In view of the fact that two great national events will be celebrated in the state of Ohio in 1888, namely, the G. A. 11.

We received a report of the Teacher's Association held in this city last Friday and Saturday, but owing to its length are unable to publish it. A large number of teachers were present and took part in the exercises. Prof. Buel T. Davis' lecture on "The Needs of our Common School" was delivered in eloquent language and was interesting and instructive.

Several important subjects were discussed in which most of the teachers took part. Their next meeting will at Anthony on the 1st Saturday in December. Ingenuity, progress and grit are characteristic of Kansas people, but never before has such a wonderful boom been found or invented for Kansas as has been evidenced by the recent refining experiment at Ft. Scott. Sorghum is without doubt the easiest crop raised in the State.

With comparatively little expense at the start, sorghum will yield good returns and is but slightly dependent, like corn, it does not depend on the condition of the season. Sorghum seems to produce well in dry and wet seasons alike, and while larger returns are produced in proportion to the amount of rainfall, many instances can be cited where large fields of sorghum have raised to the height of seven and eight feet even in the dryest season. Card of Thanfcsi We desire through this medium to return our sincere thanks to the kind friends who gave us so much of their time, attention and sympathy in our recent sad bereavement, and most assuredly fully appreciate their kindness. JosEPn Scates, cuss invades the rural home, talks glibly about the good done for the farmer by the birds, and ends by asking him to sign a pledge not to kill a bird in twelve months. The object in all these cases is to obtain signatures, which, with a little manipulation, turn up in the shape of promissory notes, which the farmer generally finds held by a bank.

The farmers of this section should be on the lookout for gentry of this ilk, and when they put in an appearance give them a warm reception or turn them over to the authorities. Lamed Chronoscope. Sugar MH1 Meeting. Pursuant to call a large number of farmers and town folks met at the Rink last Saturday afternoon to hear the report of Elerick and Hoffman in regard to a sugar mill. They visited Fort Scott, Topeka and Kansas City, and succeeded in getting a proposition from Mr.

Parkinson to the effact that if we would take stock to the amount of $50,000 he would put in a like sum and erect' a sugar mill at this place. Messrs. Jobes, Freeman, Garver, Bot-kin, McCrady, Elerick, LaRue, Bell and others made stirring speeches on the subject and all seemed to think it the best thing that had ever come before our people. An executive committee, one person from each township adjoining Ruella, was appointed as follows: Lawn, Mr. Freeman; Green, J.

K. LaRue; Lake, Mr. Hoak; Garden, Mr. McCrady; Empire, B. C.

Graver; Ruella, J. E. Hamilton. As soon as it is known positively tht the company mean business there will bo no difficulty in securing the required amount of stock. We know of no crop or of a variety of crops that a farmer can raise where $2G per acre can be realized except cane.

It seems to be the universal opinion that ten tons to the acre can be depended upon every year it growing fully as well in dry, as in wet weather. The man who puts in 10 acres is entitled to a $200 share in the mill, and while he doe3 not receive the cash for his cane the first year yet he draws out, at the end of the season, as much as any ether stock holder with the same amount invested. For example, you take stock to the amount of $200 payable in cane, and the dividend declared at the close of the season is 25 per cent the $200 stock holder not only ha3 his stock all paid for but gets back $50 of the 200 he paid in cane. What other crop can you realize $250 from in 100 days and still have your stock left and this from 10 acres. It will take but little figuring to see that you are getting $25 an acre off of your ground in one year.

They moved to Missouri in the fall of 1870 where they lived until the spring of ,85 when they came to Kansas and settled in Attica. Mrs. Scates was the mother of eight children, four of whom preceded her to the land where the "wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest." Of the four children that are now bereaved of their mother, one is married and lives in Sedalia, Mo. and three are still living with their father. Her health had been poor for years and steadily declined the last fifteen months, being unable to wulk for one year; in her final sickness she was confined to her bod for about one week; sh6 was unconscious about three days, but aroused twenty minutes before she died and seemed to know all, but was unable to speak.

She passed away as if going to rest, without a struggle. She was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church in 1858 Through all her sixness and suffering she did not complain but waited patiently for her relief to come, which she realized Saturday Nor. 5th at 1.20 p. m.
