The real estate boom that now exists iu Arkansas City is the main topic of conversation, and it is attracting attention from capitalists abroad. Every incoming train brings some investors here the purpose of looking over the city, and scarcely any of them leave without making investments. There is a decided activity in the real estate market, and the transactions are heavier than ever before known. The boom is too big to be affected by the robl weather, and our people are thoroughly confident that it has come to stay. The Catholics of Arkansas City with the aid of their energetic ami zealous young pastor, Father McKernan, are making rapid progress in their religion welfare.

They have rented a large hail and appropriately fitted it up for sen ices, and now, on every second and fourth Sundays of the month are visited by Father McKernan, who offers up the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at which they assist. The Father seeing the great interest manifested in Catholicity by the people appointed a building committee who have already secured eight lots upon which they will soon erect a nice church edifice. It is a well known fact that Arkansas City leads all other towns as a trading point. Our merchants are alive to the best interest of their town, and are selling goods at low fignres. in fact, Arkansas City downs all competing towns on g'Kl goods, low prices and square dealing.

Our business men are without exception of that class who are courteous, obliging and gentlemanly, and when customers once trade with them they always find it to iuterest to "call again." Our merchants are not penurious or close fisted, and this quality morn than any other insures them lasting favors from the people. "St. Peter sits out by the heavenly gates, his on the strings of a lyre, and he sings a low song as he patiently waits for the spirits of thosa who expire. He hears in th distance the chorus of song that swells at the foot of the throne, and he miles as the music is wafted along, and warbles this lay of his own: "There is room in this region for millions of souls, who by sorrow and woe were bereft; 'tis for thos-e who have suffered the melody rolls, bnt kickers must go to the left. There is room for the people, ho, when they were young, persisted in sowing wild oats; he who boomed up his city with sinew and tongne, but the kickers must go with the goats.

There is room for the people who IMriuted with pride to the beauty and growth of their town, who kept singing its praises and charms till they died, but the kicker will please amble down. They'd say the music was all out of tune, and the angelic robes hand-me-downs; they'd send for a jeweler off to the moon to sample the gold in the crowns. So while there is room for a million of souls, who by sorrow w-e were bereft, we want no complaints of the music that rolls, so the kickers will turn to the left." and Domestic Cigars, tSDeiinison's French Tissue Paper homing tnereot, by publishing the same for at least thirty dai precedimr the time CJIAUTEU OAK Tinware at A.
