Newby, a sign painter, of Ar gonia, will be in town next Saturday to look after work in his line. We have known Mr. Newby for some time, and have seen his work, and know that he is not only a worthy young man but a superior artist, and those having work in this line which they wish done cannot do better than to patronize him. Rev. A.

D. Axton preached at the Cooper school house in Silver Creek township last Sunday forenoon and at the Singer school house in the evening. Large congregations on both occasions. Monday morning he came into town carefully carrying a small box. We interviewed him ane discovered that he had a curiosity a horned toad.

Being the first of the kind that we have ever seen, it was quite a circus 'to us. He intends to send it to friends in Missouri, as a product of Kansas Express. The efforts of Rev. W. W.

Durham, of Wellington, missionary of the Nin-nescah Baptist Association, at the Singer school house, seven miles south of this city, recently, have resulted in the organization of a Baptist society at that point The class starts out with ten members, and the deep religious feeling which pervades that community indicates the further growth and success of that church. ElderAxton, of Danville, has accepted a call to preach for them, and will hold services there on the second Sun-dav of each month. Secret Societies. EE HERE The farmers of Harper county have organized a county mercantile association for the purpose of mutual protection and benefit. They held a meeting in Harper town Saturday, and decided to open two grocery stores, one in that burg and one in Anthony, and will be run in about the same style as the old grange stores.

Anthony Democrat. Card of Thanks. Editor Tribune: I desire to sincerely thank my neighbors and friends for their kind attention and assistance on the occasion of the sad death and burial rf my on, George Robinson. Such kind offices manifest a degree of sympathy that is truly consoling in one's hour of greatest need, and shall not be forgotten by me. Mrs.

Fannie Robinson. Gentlemen will please take notice of the drift of things. A judge in Iowa has just entered a decision that a fellow is bound to tell his wife where he spends his evenings when he is away from home. It might be the cause of a good deal of lying, but all things considered, it would rosult in grod. If a wife spent every evening away from home, and could not find the key-hole when she returned, the old man would likely inquire "Where have you been?" "We have received from the secretary of the State Board of Agriculture a crop and weather bulletin for the month ending April 30th.

At that time the corn was about planted in the southern part of the state, and progressing finely in the others. There will be about ten per cent more planted than last year. Spring wheat ii not as good as usual. Oats are in fine condition. Area ten per cent in advance.

Live stock is in fine condition. Peaches were winter killed but all other fruit fine condition. The average temperature for the state was 54.8. The highest was 85 and the lowest 19. The rainfall was not half up to the average for April, being only inch.

An exchange reports that two farmers were not long since discussing their local paper. One said he thought it had too many advertisements in it. The other replied, Tn my opinion, the advertisements are far from being the least valuable part of it. I look them over carefully every week and I save at least five times the cost of my paper each year through the business advantages I get from them." Said the other: "I believe you are right I know they pay me well and rather think it is not very good taste to find fault with the advertisements after all." Those men have the right idea of the matter. It pays any man who has a family to support to take his local paper for the sake of the advertisements if nothing more.

L)e Funic. Editor Tribune: I am informed that a newcomer in our city, on his arrival here, fell into the hands of Mr. Funk the station agent, who undertook by his usual representations, or misrepresentations, to induce said newcomer to locate on the east side representing that Union Block and all the rest of the west side was about to be moved over to the east side, and he (Funk) owned the lot on which Union Block stands, which he would sell for $2.50. Now everybody here knows this to be a positive lie, and Mr. Funk knew it as well as anybody else.

However, the stranger visited the west side, and soon found how basely he had been imposed upon, and at once concluded to locate hsre, and may now be found in business near the bank, the real business center of our city. This attempt at deception on the part of this de-Funk-ed individual at the station may succeed with some strangers for awhile but they will soon learn the true situation, and become disgusted with the parties who are compelled to resort to downright falsehood to bolster up their waning interests. I think a little time will show who is defunct. Lots on the east side sell at from $3.50 to S15, while on the west side they sold the other day for as high as S10G. That tells.

That's What. Notions at Smith's. no, lots on the west side don't sell for thank you. Won't we boom though, when we get another bank! and a stone bank, too Governor Martin will deliver the Decoration Day oration at Wichita, on Monday, May Furnishing goods at Huffman Smith's. Children's Day, Sunday, June 13th, will be appropriately observed by the Sunday-school here.

EAerybody is happy. Novelties at Huffman Smith's. The appearance of the new train over the Fort Scott roa on Sunday morning, was a welcome sight to the people along this end of the line.

During the second week in May the thermometer indicated 98 in the shade. But then it has been much lower part of the time since. Dr. W. A.

Ilering, with Dr. J. II. Callender, dentists of Anthony, will visit Freeport the first Wednesday and Thursday of every month. The county commissoners will meet as a board of equalization "on Monday, une 7th.

At that time parties having grievances can be heard. Several car-loads of stock were shipped from this point during the week, causing considerable money to pass through our new bank. Mr. A. Paullm has purchased the new business house near the Sunflower hotel, and will move it onto the corner opposite the bank, on the west eide.

Over 300 pair of boots and shoes just received at Huffman Smith's. We suggest that our ministers preach a sermon in the near future on fishing and ball playing the Sabbath day. There is a good field for missionary work here. Anthony Enterprise: Freeport 's new bank opened for business Monday morning. It is conveniently located in the west part of town, and arranged in usual city style.

A little four-year old, while praying one night, said: "Please God bless papa and mama, and make me a good little girl, and if at first you don't succeed, try, try again." A good lady truly remarketVthe other day that every man digs his own giave, though differeut persons may use different tools some one way and some another. This is a serious thought, and should be pondered well by U3 all. The time table may be found in this paper. We have corrected it witJi care, and it may be relied upon. It will be noticed that there is no material change in the mail arrangement.

It will also be noticed that two trains pass this place at 5:07 p. m. The latest styles of gents' hats just received at Huffman Smith's. With the construction train working here, and three regular trains passing here, two of them meeting at this point our town has the appearance of a lively railroad center, just as it will look when the Caldwell Harper road will cross here. Harper, by ordinance, taxes all manner of legitimate business.

The Anthony Herald has been suspended, and we understand Judge Day will remove the office to the new and promising town of Kanopolis, the hub of the State of Kansas, the hub of the United States, and the hub of the universe, so claimed.

E. P. YAN VALKENBURG, 1) The Harper and Anthony papers are urging the voting of county bonds in aid of a railroad from Wichita to the Territory via those towns. The Tribune ente rs its emphatic protest against such a proposition, unless it also includes aid Caldwell, Freeport and Harper roads There is no justice in asking the eastern portion of the county to aid in a project that will be of no direct benefit to us. But let the proposition include the two roads, one north and south and the other east and west, and the whole countv will be benefitted.

The fore part of the day was spent in selling residence lots on the east side, which sold at from S3.50 to $1-5 apiece. On Main near the new church, the lots sold at rom $40 to $00. A few lots were offered on Grand Avenue, some distance from the bank corner, which were run up to over $100 apiece, showing that real estate in this part of town is in greater demand than in any other. Had other lots been offered on this avenue, opposite the bank, they would have sold readily at even eater prices.
