A flour and feed stoie now occupies the building on the corner of Ohio and East Mound streets, lately used as a barber shop. The Clay county fair closed on Friday last, leaving the association in debt $1800.

It was a success every way except financially. J. H.Hedrickhas moved from J. B. Milis' house in the northeast part of the city, to that of Mr.

Fmitb, in the 'ITBH ALL GOODS WARRANTED AS REPRESENTED. 3 Mr. George Insley, a former resident Of Pleasant Valley, Wilson county, is back from California on a visit to old friends here. He is at present located in Santa Anna Valley, California, some thirty miles from Los Angelos. He still owns his old farm here, and still retains a warm feeling for Kansas, and particularly Wilson county.

The trial of Mrs. R. Walkup, of Emporia, on the charge of poisoning her husband, is set for Oct. 10th. Her prospects for acquittal look better now than they did two weeks ago, on account of a Kansas City physician who deposes and says that the deceased was in the habit of taking arsenic without having it administered by a loving wife.

The Women's Relief Corps came to the conclusion on Saturday last that they would have an ice cream social in their hall on the following Tuesday evening. The social came off accordingly, and taking into consideration the short notice given, the returns were very gratifying. Their next social will be better advertised, and consequently more profitable. About half way up the We Mound, perhaps a mile from the public square, a building is going up, which looks like a residence. It is a sightly locatiou, and a beautiful place to make a home.

It is very likely that in the course of a few years that house will be in the middle of the city, and probably will be torn -down to make way for a large wholesale house The committee whose duty it was to select a site for the soldiers' orphan home, have agreed upon Atchison as the proper place for this institution, and Atchison is happy, while all the other cities who aspired, are firmly convinced that the location is a poor one Fredonia not having been a candidate for the "home," we cheerfully acquiesce in the choice of the committee. It would seem that this part of the country not nly raises melons, but consumes them as well. Several times since our arrival here, we have seen wagon loads of melons on the streets, and every vacant store-room and spaces in other stores full, and the sidewalSs lined with one great green' pile of melons. Looking around we would see but a small delegation of colored population in our city, and we would think, "What in the world is to become of all these melons?" And yet we are informed that watermelons were scarce and hard to- find in Fredonia on Monday afternoon. G.

T. J. HASTY, N. G. Meadows Smith haye just what you want in the way of dry goods, fresh from We give above a plan of the new Masonic hall, which is situated on the south side of the public square in Fredonia, being the third story of Mr.

Bartlett's new brick building. The different bodies of Masons in this city put up this part of the building, in consideration of a ninety-nine years lease thereof. Of course it is impossible to give an outsider an adequate idea of the hall and the conveniences for Masonic work, but Masons will comprehend and appreciate it fully. As ill be seen by our society directory, there are four Masonic bodies here, and all have assisted in building this temple for their mystic labors, and all will occupy and enjoy it. The new hall will be dedicated sometime during the fore part of the coming month.

On that occasion the officers of the Grand Lodge of the State will be present, and Masons from neighboring lodges, and probably from many parte of the St ate. Just what the ceremonies will be, or whether any part of them will be public, we are now unable to state, but will probably be able to say before the dedication takes place. The building, a three-story structure, is an ornament to the city, and the Masons deserve great credit for their enterprise and pluck in taking this work upon themselves and doing the work so completely and well. The hall was planned by W. M.

Oakford, and put up under the direction of the trustees, and the personal superintendance of Messrs. C. F. Coleman and W. M.

Oakford, at a cost of about $4,000. The trustees are Messrs. Isaac Hudson, Peter Reeger, J. D. Allen, W.

The latest Birthday Party Wednesday evening, September 16th, Miss Julia A. Grubb, was the victim of a yery agreeable birthday surprise party.

At about the usual time for entertainments to commence, she was overwhelmingly surprised to hear the Fredonia cornet band rendering a choice selection of music outside the house, and on approaching the door to investigate the cause of the serenade, found herself surrounded by numerous young friends bearing in their arms friendship's choisest gifts, consisting of a silver card receiver from her cousins; a beautiful satin and plush cabinet perfume case by Buel Thompson, Sam Hess, James Kennedy and John Hubbell; a mounted porcelain glass perfume goose egg from Wichita by Charles Ford moccasins from the Indian territory by a brave who seeks to capture not kill Goldsmith's poems and Moore's poetical works and card presented by C.

Mr. R. is very highly spoken of as a citizen, and a master of his business, and we take pleasure in recommending him to the people of Thayer. A gentleman named Williams, from Montague, Texas, is expected here to-day to fill the vacancy in Reeger's store. Mr.

His assassin, whose vengeance was instigated by some petty jealousy, was afterwards arrested and tried, but escaped conviction through the sentimentality of the jury, and the influence of the "reasonable doubt." though the circumstantial evidence was very strong against him. The loss of his son so wrought unon Mr. Scott, that he severed his connection with the Neosho County Journal, which he had successfully conducted for fifteen years, and in 1883 removed to this city, where he purchased the Fredonia Times.
