The streams of the county have all been swollen bank full this week, in consequence of the late heavy rains. P. P. Lewis went to Anthony Tuesday, and Charlie Myers managed the lumber business during that gentleman's absence.

Nick Walker was down from Anthony Monday night, attending lodge and being welcomed by his numerous acquaintances here. Parties wanting beef can it in large or small quantities every other morning by leaving their order at the European restaurant. 3Ct2 Billy Stunkle made us a very pleasant call the first of the wTeek. We have a cordial welcome at all times for Billy, or any such good hearted men. Dr.

Fisk has changed his telegraph wire to his new room, on the north side of the State Bank building; and is now in direct connection with the depot. We have an article in this issue to which we invite the attention of our readers. There is information for many of our subscribers contained therein. Rev. Rhodes, the gentleman who has been conducting the tabernacle meetings at Blaykstone, called on us Thursday.

He goes from there to Labette county: The fine 'rains of the past few days, so say the farmers, guarantee a magnificent turnip crop, as well as placing the ground in excelleut condition for the fall wheat. Dr. Fisk is quite an artist writh the paint brush. To verify this assertion, see the "square and compas" he painted on the window of the new Masonic lodge room. W.

A. Brown wishes us to say to the party who took the halter from his stable Friday of last week, that he had better return the same and save trouble, as he is known. J. G. Hutson was a pleasant caller the first of the week.

If subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals, the publisher may continue to send until all arrearages are poid.

3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the office to which they are directed, they are responsible until they have settled their bills and order a discontinuance. 4 If subscribers move to other places without informing the publisher, and the papers are sent to the former direction, they are held responsible. 5 The courts have decided that refusing to take papers from the office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for is prima facia evidence of fraud. 6.

If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice to the publisher at the end of their time. If they do not wish to continue taking it otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it and the subscriber will be held respon sible until an express notice with payment of all arrears is sent to the publisher. The last postal decision is to the effect that publishers of newspapers, can under the law arrest any man for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law it is a dangerous trick for a man to allow his subscription to run on from six months to a year and half unpaid and then tell the postmaster to mark it "refused," or send the editor a postal card to discontinue the paper. Dr.

Harrington's brother is visiting him. John Blackwelder visited last Sunday in Caldwell. A number of Bluff City people will visit Geuda Springs to-morrow W. Miller roceived quit? a large consignment ef groceries this week, for the fall trade. Miss Howard is visiting with Mrs.

One of Bluff City's young men is said ty be quite proficient in arranging stage effects. His arrangement of river and ocean scenes is said to be perfect. New grass is springing up since the late rains, and is already about twro inches high.

This assures an abundant fall pasturage, wThich will make tho hearts of the stockmen rejoice.

Neal's new baby, we stated that gentleman's familiar face would be seen on our streets soon. The gentle man arrived Thursday of this week. Another instance that the Tribune is always correct.

The Herald of last week contained a low-flung article about my baby, styling it "a little yaller coon." I desire to say that Mr. Glover lias tto reason to make such a remark. The baby's name is young Mr. Ambler, son of George Ambler, who is willing to backup tha assertion that his baby is no "coon. When the baby came' W.

C. Barnes called it a "coon." Mr. Glover seems to be the same kind of a man. A coon lives in the woods My baby is human I wonld not have believed it possible for Mr. Glover" to write silch att insult ing article, inasmuch, as nt the time he was writing it, my wife was helping him in a cae of sore distress in his hotel.

He disposed of a fine Superior range to W. A. Brown, of the European restaurant, another to some parties from the territory, and a Universal gasoline stove to James Coulter. The Tribune has always contended that Stohrville township was the garden spot of Harper county. In testi mony of this we will cite" the fact that oiir friend George Miiler recently de livered a watermelon in Anthony, the weight of which was sixty-two pounds.

William Moore desires us to aj that he is not only busy hammering, out men's soles, but is also sewing up rents, and making harness. His harness in dustry is an important one for Bluff, as it will bring trade to this place which has heretofore gone elsewhere. The county normal institute closed its session last Saturday evening, it being one of the most successful ever held ill the history of the county The enrolb meut was 151.

Miller on his -farm -in Stohrville township, ten miles south east of Anthony, and it is certainly the argest melon ever raised in this part of the country.
