A. McOsker. E. Egleston went to Pratt Center Tuesday morning. Burt Hipple came in from Meade Center last Friday.

J. B. Johnson was in town a few hours last Tuesday. Metzger Co. have something to say in another column.

Read it. Noah Ravenscraft is confined to the house on account of sickness. Deeds, mortgages and other papers neatly drawn at Bank of Turon. C. W.

Dickhut has been sick for some time, but is now about well again. Go to J. S. Dickinson Co. and get prices before you buy glass, paints and oils.

Carr Shanks have a number of farms and city propery for sale. Collections a specialty. If you want a farm loan go to the Bank of Turon. Money on hand. No waiting six months for cash.

Notice change of time of trains on the K. N. Ry. We now have four passenger trains daily on this road. Tom.

Decker shipped a car load of cattle from this place Tuesday morning. They were purchased from Price Johnstone. A good farm two miles from Turn and one adjoining the town site, to trade for stocks of merchandise, by Carr Shanks. M. Karns and wife went to Harper City last Monday morning.

While there Mr. Karns will be examined for an increase of pension. Mrs. A. A.

Sleeper left last week to take her little girl to school at Olathe, Kans. Mrs. Sleeper will visit relatives at Kansas City before returning. Mrs. W.

Y. Goodrick, of Valley Center, and Mrs. John Parm, of Nickerson, mother and sister of J. L. Graham, are visiting relatives here.

Men should have some better occupation for Sunday than selling goods, but that is more honorable than writing libelous articles about their neighbors. The Baptists have made arrangements to have preaching every third Sunday in each month at Turon at 8 o'clock p. also on Saturday preceding at 3 p. m. and 8 p.

m. Excavating has commenced in North Turon for the Rock Island hotel. The building will be 28x78 feet. We have not seen the plans and cannot give a description of the building. The Lerado Ledger had the same libel on Turon that appeared in the Hutchinson News.

About the only difference being that it calls Turon a "hole" instead of a "place." Robt. Slater last Monday bought the house and one lot of S. T. Tunnell, on Price avenue east. Consideration $200.

Mr. Tunnell and family will make Hutchinson their future home. J. T. Wallace, Mrs.

M. H. Potter and daughter Dora, left yesterday morning for Missouri, Mrs. Potter and her daughter to visit relatives, and Jimwell, he went to see his W. W.

Day and Wm. Malott, a counsin who has been here for some time, left Sunday morning for Indiana. We will probably know more of the object of Mr. Day's visit when he returns. The store of Frank Hipple was entered last Tuesday night and about fifty dollars worth of goods taken.

One or two persons have been suspicioned, but so far as we know no proof has yet been discovered against anyone. Rev. E. R. Williams is the Man Who Libeled Turon.

Last week we published an article from the Hutchinson News which was considered by the citizens of this community as a libel on Turon. We then expressed our opinion of the article and of any man who would be guilty of such a slanderous attack on a community. At that time we did not know who the author was, but we do now. His name is Rev. E.

R. Williams. We are sorry to see a man who occupies his position in the community stoop so low as to be guilty of such an act. When a man who makes no professions of trying to be better than others outrages truth and decency as was done in that article he receives and merits the condemnation and contempt of all respectable citizens, but what can we say when a minister of the gospel, a man who professes to be devoting his life to the great cause of Christianity and to be teaching men to follow the precepts of the meek and lowly Jesus- We give it up. Words are too weak to express the contempt and disgust that all decent people must feel for such a creature.

Yet this person has the impudence to attempt to pose before the people as a martyr, to try to make it appear that he is the one sinned against instead of the one who has done nothing for the community during the past two months but stir up strife. A better feeling would exist among our citizens to-day if Williams had never been here. The church over which he presides would be more united and better prepared for usefulness without any minister than they are with his services. Christianity would have been spared the odium of another minster who had departed from the path of rectitude. This last act is but one of a series by which he has forfeited the respect and confidence of all lovers of peace and good order.

He may in the future as has in the past stand before an audience and call upon God to witness the honesty of his intentions, but unless he changes his course Satan could wish for no more useful disciple. T. W. Barrett, of Saratoga, stopped over here last Monday, on his way to Larned, and took in the city. Rev.

J. G. Smiley, Baptist minister of Stafford, preached to a large congregation in hall last Sunday morning; also at the school house in the evening. Courtesy accords to ministers a good many privileges, but when they force themselves upon a family where they are not invited and where they know they are not wanted, it shows a lack of good breeding that is highly censurable. Dr.

J. H. Fuller sent us a card yesterday, requesting us to announce that he will be here the first of next week. From this we understand that he has decided to locate here and practice his profession. From what we have seen of him we think he will be quite an acquisition to the town.

The following is the ticket nominated by the Republican county convention: For county clerk, S. J. Morris; register of deeds, N. Wooddell; treasurer, J. M.

Anderson; sheriff, J. W. Claypool; surveyor, F. H. Carpenter; coroner, A.

W. McKinney; commissioner 1st district, W. P. D. Fleming.

T. J. Talbott this week announces himself as a candidate for sheriff of Reno county, subject to the decision of the Democratic county convention. Mr. Talbott is a prominent business man of Sylvia and is well posted in the duties of the office.

If he succeeds in obtaing the nomination he will make a strong fight and if elected will doubtless make a good officer. Last Thursday the farm of E. M. Fogle, half a mile south of town, was purchased by Wm. Cornell, of McPherson, Kansas.

Consideration, $3,700. The sale was made by D. M. Thornley. Mr.

Cornwell takes possession Oct. 1st, and it is his intention to set out considerable nursery stock and otherwise improve the place. Mr. Fogle and family will make Arkansas their future home. The agent of the C.

K. N. Ry. Sunday evening received a telegram from Pratt that there was a man riding under the engine of the east-bound train. When the train stopped here a boy about seventeen years old was found on the cross-bean under the cow-catcher.

He was requested to crawl out and did so. On being asked how he liked his ride, he said he would rather ride there than on a brake beam. He was bound for Topeka. There was a social party and dance at F. McOsker's, six miles west of Turon, last Friday night, in honor of the 21st anniversary of the birth of the youngest daughter, Miss Millie.

A pleasant evening was spent in dancing and social chat, and near midnight a bountiful supper was served. The party broke up a few hours later, and all wishing Miss Millie many happy returns of her birthday. There were about fifteen couples present. Then and Now. It is with pleasure that we note the completion of the new parsonage of the M.

E. church of Turon, and with much more pleasure that we move into its commodious parts. The people of Turon have shown a benevolence, in the erection of this building, truly uncommon. Its whole cost is indebtedness about 136. It is true that a very few persons of other points on the circuit have lent aid to the enterprise aggregating in all to less than $30, and that nearly the entire burden falls upon Turon; but Turon seems to be equal to the emergency.

There are very few of her citizens who have not aided liberally, in some way, toward defraying the expenses of the building, and who would not do more if necessity calls for it. The next pressing demand upon Turon Christians and philanthropists is a place suitable for divine worship. While it is plain that we have done much already, and perhaps from a business point of view, all that we are able, yet I feel that the religious people of our community, having the work of God at heart, will make the necessary sacrifice to the procure Lord in a public convenient place to meet service. While speaking we wish to humbly offer the warmest thanks we ever felt toward a people, to those of Turon and Turon circuit, for the kind reception they have given us, as strangers in their midst, and the Christian solicitude evinced for our comfort. You have, indeed, kind friends and brethren, treated us better than we deserve.

And however willing our service, we can never repay you; for loving words and considerate actions have in their character and results a merit that can not be even estimated. But God, who says, "If you are willing and obedient servants ye shall eat the good of the land; but if ye refuse and rebel ye shall be devoured with the sword," will visit you and "deliver you out of and pour upon you riches and honor that human hands cannot bestow. Your humble servant in the pastorate of the M. E. church.

EDWARD R. WILLIAMS. Turon RUSTLER June 30, Turon is decidedly a whisky town. We have heard it said that there is not a business house in the town that does not sell some kind of intoxicant. This, however, is not quite true now.

There is a class here who grumble much of their time; another class who sell liquor without any legal right to do so; another who game and do regular business on Sunday; another class who go to church to mock and disturb that service, and another, worse than all, who undertake to justify and preserve this state of things, without the semblence of respect for truth and veracity. This condition of things is likely to continue indefinitely unless citizens from the county assist in restoring the wonted honor of a dozen laws that now in Turon are a disgrace to the community. R. Williams in Hutchinson News of Sept. 7, Excursion, The Mo.

Pacific has made arrangements to run special trains for the convenience of those desirous to attend the G. A. R. Encampment and visit St. Louis while they can get the benefit of the low excursion rates.

One of these trains will leave Larned at 6 a. Sunday, Sept. 25, arriving at Turon at about 8 o'clock a.m., going via Chetopa to St. Louis. Special efforts are being made to make this excursion pleasant and convenient for the passengers.

Saving the annoyance of changing cars or waiting to make connectfons. For full particulars call on the agent of the M. A. Democratic Primary. The democrats of Grove township met in Turon, Sept.

17, for the purpose of electing three delegates and three alternates to attend the county convention in Hutchinson on Sept. 24; also to elect a committeeman for the ensuing year. J. B. Potter occupied the chair and J.

A. Kaufman was elected secretary. The following men were elected delegates: T. W. Hickman, J.

B. Potter and W. H. H. Hickman.

Alternates, M. E. Watson, J. A. MeOsker and J.

A. Kaufman. J. B. Potter was re-elected central committeeman.

VICK-On Wednesday, Sept. 21, 1887, of blood poisoning, Mrs. L. A. Vick.

Mrs. Vick has been sick nearly all summer and bedfast most of the time. She leaves a husband and four children who have the sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement. The funeral services will be held Friday and the remains interred in the Turon cemetery. Sept.

4th was Sunday. That was the date of Rev. William's article slandering Turon. "By their fruits ye shall know them." Metzger Co. received the machinery for their balogna and sausage department Tuesday, and expect to haue it in full operation by next week.

These gentlemen try to keep up with the demands of the public in the way of a first-class meat market. Andrew McCalop took his witnesses to Hutchinson last Friday to make final proof on his homestead, but found that he had not lived on it long enough by one year. It seems that the period of tive years is reckoned from the time of actual settlement, and not from date of filing. THIS SPACE IS RESERVED FOR THE GRAGG MERCANTILE 00., Who will Announce Their Bargains Dry Goods GENTS' FURNISHING GOODS, Men: and Boys' BOOTS and SHOES. NEXT WEEK! Important Notice.

For some time past we neglected to adhere to our original rule of selling strictly for cash, and we find that we have done so to our detriment and disadvantage, hence in the language of Horace Greely, "To resume, is to RESUME." We have concluded to return to our first rules, and from and after next Monday, Sept. 26, 1887, no meat will be sold in our shop unless the money, or its equivalent, is paid. Do not ask for credit, as we shall positively not grant it. To those whom we have accommodated in the past and on whom we have patiently waited for our pay, we would say that all accounts not settled by October 1st, next, either by cash, note, or otherwise, will be left with the proper officer for collection, and costs attached. Remember, this notice means just what it says.
