Professor Cogswell's singing class, at the meeting Tuesday night, passed a resolution to exclude outsiders from the room during the exercises. This action was rendered necessary by the loud talking of visitors during tke exercises, which rendered it impossible for scholars to hear what was going on. When people are so ill-mannered as to act as some did Tuesday night, they ought to be excluded. The scholars pay their money for the instruction received, and no one has a right to deprive them of the benefits of this instruction by unmannerly talking and laughing during the progress of the lesson. Of course, the resolution to exclude non-members of the class does not apply to the relatives or escorts of the young ladies, but all are expected to respect the rights of those who go there to be benefited.

A word to the wise is sufficient. A gang of men are traveling over our county selling a wrought-iron range stove. We know nothing about, the merits or demerits of this range, but one thing we are positive of, and that is that there is some sell or swindle in the thing. These men are on the same level with the itinerant lightning-rod peddler and the cheap-John bundle man, and should be let severely alone by our farmers. If you want to purchase a stove, you can at all times buy the latest improved goods in that line of your local dealers, who are responsible for the article they sell you but in buy of one of these Bohemians, you may never see him again after you have surrendered your note, and if the article proves a failure you have no recourse.

Farmers, think of the swindles that have been perpetrated upon you by these oily-tonaued agents, and give them a cold reception if you want to be on the 6afe side. Cemetery Notice. The Maple Grove Cemetery association will meet at Rainbow schoolhouse, Bachelder district, on April 12, 1884, at 1 o'clock p. to elect new officers and transact such other business as may need attention.

NEW YORK, 1884. Tuesday in February. Terms, "The History of Telegram" would make mighty interesting reading for a certain young friend of ours. 'We learn from gentlemen in the country that, except where protected by heavy timber, the peach crop has been almost entirely destroyed. There were 119 attendants at the Congregational Sunday-school last Sunday morning.

All the Sunday-scboois are unusually well attended at present. Our farmers are fully six weeks behind with their spring work this season. There will be some lively work done as soon as the weather will permit. Samuel Baughman has rented and opened the Planters' house. Everybody predicts that Mr.

Baughman will make a popular and successful landlord. We have lived in Kansas since 18-56, and during that period we have never experienced as much continuous cold weather as has occurred during the past ten weeks. II. M. Keesling'e school, in District 50, four and a half miles north of Fredonia, terminated Thursday.

Henry retained his enviable reputation as an excellent instructor. Master Elmer Combs is learning the "art preservative" in The Times office. The prospects are that he will make a good printer, judging from the way he has started in. Mr. Wolver's residence, on the corner of Grant and Julian streets, is rapidly approaching completion.

When finished it will be one of the neatest dwellings in Fredonia. The hardest windstorm of the season prevailed during Monday and Monday night. The flying dust and gravel made it unpleasant for those who were compelled to be on the streets. Charlie Kuhnke intends to take a trip to the fadder land" this spring, and will leave here about the 1st of May. His many friends here will wish him a safe and pleasant voyage.

The following marriage licenses have been issued during the past week J. M. Stanton and Suzan E. Messer, of Montgomery countv J. A.

DeMoss and Miss Anna Oliver, of Neodesha. The singing school meets at 7 o'clock on Tuesday and Saturday nights. Scholars are requested to be on hand at that time, so that the exercises may begiu promptly at 7:30. Hess Brothers, of this place, will open a large stock of goods at Dun between the 1st aud 15th of April. Mr.

Sam. Hess went down yesterday to arrange for the erection of a suitable building. We publish an advertisement of the New York Sun this week. Read it and subscribe. Only one dollar per year for the weekly, which makes it the cheapest paper in the world, if the amount of reading matter is taken into consideration.

The battery for the "pony" telegraph line has been moved to the Adams express office, and Burgeis putting in his odd moments in hammering coppers, scraping zincs, carrying water, and using fancy figures of speech when he gets a gill or two of solution in his eyes.

Any one knowing of her whereabouts will please write to W. II. Woodrurf, Waterville, Marshall county, Kansas.

Charles Kuhnke, the old and popular restauraut man, has leased his room under The Times office to Purcell Waldren, of Malta Bend, for one year. Messrs. Purcell Waldren will take possession of the premises about the 1st of April and will open a first-class drug store. There were ten accessions to the Congregational church last Sunday.

Wonder why May Martin looked so very sleepy last Monday morning at school Emma Defevers was absent Thurs if till About sixty million copies of The Sun have gone out of our establishment during the past twelve months.

If you were to paste end to end all the columns of all The Suns printed and sold last year you would get a continuous strip of interesting information, common sense wisdom, sound doctrine, and some wit long enough to reach from Printing House square the top of Mount Copernicus in the moon, then back to Printing House square, and then three-quarters of the way back to the moon again. But The Sun is written for the inhabitants of the earth; this same strip of intelligence would girdle the globe twenty-seven or twenty-eight times. If every buyer of a copy of The Sun during the past year has spent only one hour over it, and if his wife or his grandfather has spent another hour, this newspaper in 18S3 has afforded the human race thiiteen thousand years of steady reading, night and day. It is only by little calculations like these that you can form any idea of the circulation of the most popular of American newspapers, or of its FOR BUSINESS IN THE WORKSHOP.

Mr. Kennedy was the recipient of a letter last Wednesday, informing him that he had scared one of the little boys until he (the boy) couldn't even sleep.

The political complexion of Duck Creek has always been "opposition," yet a tew republicans have been elected. Here is a bit, of history Jurett post-office was established April 5, 1871. There have been six postmasters, as Hugh II.

Garner, Darius C. Holmes, William T. Butcher, Elisha Chesnut, Dyer A. Conger and Henry Kysor. W.

T. Butcher' held the office the longest eight years. Jurett derived its name from Jurett Garner, wife of H. H. Garner, the first postmaster.

II. II. Garner received a salary of twelve dollars per annum while in the service Uncle Sam. The postmaster's income now is about fifty dollars a vear. We have tri-weekly mail from Fredonia, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Jurett once had high aspirations, and at one time all preparations were made to lay out a town site, but from some minor and trivial cause the project was abandoned and never agitated again in fact, passed into absolute oblivion with most of our people. Had Jurett continued in her zeal and enthusiasm of those days of yore, we might now have a flourishing and prosperous little village, from the simple fact that Jurett is so centrally located, being almost equidistant from New Albany? Fredonia, Elk City and Longton. It is never too late to do good so Ella Vator suggests that we take this matter in hand and endeavor to start the ball rolling in the right direction, and ere long, if a proper course is pursued, we may wake up some morning and find that a beautiful and growing city has sprung up in our midst. Who will be the first to put this project on foot The pioneer settlers of Duck Creek, who are still living here, are: John and Jasper Gilbert, J. W.

G. Waite, on the subject of water-works in our city, may be of some interest to our readers. Captain Waite is a thorough and well-known engineer, and, from a personal conversation with him a few days since, we learn that his idea is that sufficient water for this place for a number of years can be obtained from Clear creek, by a system of damming, at considerably less cost than it can be brought from Fall river above the mouth of Salt creek. Osage Mission, March 10, 1884. J.

II. Scott, Fredonia: Dear Sir I have been unable to comply with your request for a letter upon the subject of watering your enterprising town, until now. "I am familiar with its topography and sources of water supply. In view of the present oppressive republican tariff, causing starvation on every hand, your people would strike another high note of prosperity by abridging my elaborate plan of a year ago, providing for six miles of mains, and providing a new source of supply for the present with a capacity of oiX'O barrels per day. Cheaper mains and a reservoir 1.50 feet high, to contain 10,000 barrels, with first-class 6-inch mains leading around the public square, with, say, ten fire hydrants, all of which could be put in operation for about $10,000, in shape to extend, which would be readily provided tor by degrees.

The investment would be reasonable for a small company protected by the city, but would be a much better investment by the city itself. I am now engaged on four sets of plans, with prospects of more. After my hurry is over I will talk with you more on "this subject, if you choose. Yours respectfully, C. G.

Kill off a few of the orphanless dogs about town and night would be Jess hideous. Several members of W. T. Butcher's family have been quite sick, but all are now much improved. There is no place in the west that a first-class roller tlourins mill would pay better than at Fredonia.

Zack Benell has a fine piece of resident property at Coyville, which he is offering for sale. Mr. James Steele of that place is his agent, who can eive purchasers all the desired information regarding the premises. The property is nicely located, and no doubt would make a comfortable home for any old bald head who wishes all the comforts of life with ancient and modern conveniences combined.

There will be a meeting of the members of the Congregational church to-night to discuss the feasibility of raising money to erect new church building, the present one being entirely too small to accommodate the increasing congregation. There is not even seating room enough for the Sunday-school. The probable cost of the proposed building will be about $2000. One-half of this sum could, it is thought, be obtained from the missionary fund, leaving $1000 to be raised by members of the church and the citizens of Fredonia. As nothing speaks so well for a tow as good churches and good schoolhouses, it would be a paying investment for our property owners to subscribe liberallv to the above-named enterprise.

The fine school-house, we are glad to say, we already have. Now let every one contribute something toward the erection of the proposed church. Rev. Mr. Pipes has been a faithful worker among our people, and his efforts to build a creditable house of worship should be heartily seconded by the citizens of Fredonia.
