But it will ever be found complaining of the habitual, loafers, idlers, hangeis-n, who do nobody good nor even try to make themselves better or wiser.

Up and do something and you shall receive as much praise as you now receive criticism. Williamsburg has many model young men. They work, they save, they keep away fiom places of questionable repute, they are sober, and they improved their minds by study during their leisure moments. If some young men can do this, why not all? husbandman to make them blonni and blossom as the rest. True, her best binds ore not to be had for the asking that time has irretrievably past but good hnds can yet be obtained for a reasonable price, and compensation for the outlay is attained in having a home in the "land of flowers aud perpetual sunshine." Time was when Kansas would bow her head and weep for her children at the first intimation of a financial depression, but now they have grown tall and strong, and are confident in their own strength.

She knows no sorrow and throws care to the winds. The recent hard times have had no terrors for her, and nothing less than a tamine, an earthquake or cyclone would cause her check to blanch. She has met trouble and is acquainted with grief, but she has conquered and ad astra per aspera is her watch word not only in name, but in fame. Leavenworth Times. Emeeald, Km, Jan.

18. Mr. Editok I would like space in your columns to reply to on the dude. As tne du'de has made a failure of defending hiiusVif, I adopt the Irish tactic of answering one question by asiitug another, Now, "Josie did you e'er consider what the dudine of to-day was like, or how many there is of dim? Are t'je women of to-day ashanu dof the form the Crea'or gave thftn? or do thev consider the invention ox man superior the creations of infiVity? The dudini! of to-dy is made up principal? of cotton batting aittl antiquated newspapers, on which they carry more news in their bustles than they do hi their shallow brain-pane.

We will be glad lo see him execute the threat. We need some coal at this office. Several of our patrons hav3 asked to pay us in coal. They can do so now yes, immediately. We have received a copy of the Lane Bulletin.

It is quite a spicy, newsy sheet. We would like it better if it were all home punt. "Mrs. Peter Berger, while going aft- water on Monday morning, fell and hurt her back quite seriously. Dr.

Bobbins was called to see her. Hank Wilson will probably leave Williamsburg soon to go into the agricultural business at Harper. He had not quite decided upon it last week. "Son of Erin" will lose his bet. The cattle were not seen on the "shtrates" last Saturday.

Addiess Weekly Capital, Topeka, Kansas. 2tf What can people do this kind of weather, who have nothing to do? This may be a query to some. Well, the boys under 21 should be in school.

The others and men should devote their time to study. A fair knowledge of any one science can be obtained during one winter by-careful reading. We here know what we are talking about, because we have given these matters actual tet. There is scarcely a science, but what we have learned the outlines at least, and learned them too while others were loafing. It is this slody that broadens and elevates the mind.

Others with an ounce of determination can accomplish as much, or more, by the same exertion. One young man has expressed himself that the Eagle was not friendly to young men. This is where he is The Eagle will stand by the deserving young man through prosperity and adversity. It wants to i-ee young men with good mettle in them. The young man has good mettle who can say to his chums that he has no time to spend in idleness or costly amusements.

The young man evinces the light kind of CUTTING AND FITTING By Scale French Styles. Call at rooms formerly occupied by Mra. G. W. Baker.

13, 1886. Deak Patrons As a consequence of the late conflagration we have lost our books of account, subscription list aud all. We will esteem it a great favor if all who receive this circular will call on us upon their first visit to town and give us all the information you can concerning your standing on our subscription list. We have established our headquarters in the rear of F. M.

Crow's hardware store where we shall be pleased to see all our friends. Yours for news, N. A. BURNHAM. Some of cur friends are severe on certain parties by exposing their shortcomings.

It requires but a glance at our correspondence to show that this course is approved by the thinkers among our readers. It is again said that the Eagle is giving our town a bad name. If exposing the sins of a community give it a bad reputation we cannot help it. Let the people stop sinning and there will be none to expose. Let those of our friends who are so tenacious of the town's reputation and so considerate of her honor, take it upon themselves to redeem the lost honor by each and severally con ducting themselves circumspectly, and the EarJJe will take as great pains and V.r more pleasure, in writing up the virtues of the people.

We are not attacking the immoralities of the town through a vindictive spirit, but for the purpose of purifying the social atmosphere. We cannot always see ourselves as oth-pis see us. We need a reflector. Tijp. Eagle just now reflects the conduct of some of our people and they know how they appear to others.

We find some don't like the picture. They pronource it a caracature, others again, who Rre close observers, profess to see a very striking naturalness in the feature. Here now we again state what we do abhor, and what we shall exert every effort to expose. We cannot tolerate idleness, loafing, gossip, making debts with no intention of paying, squandering money on the drunkenness gambling, lying, improper intimacies with other men's wives, expensive amusemenrs, etc. We might show up some church members of every church iu town, if we cared to, but the time is not quite ripe yet.

There is not a person in town, of a sound mind, but what knows thct these matters mentioned above are wrong, or but what knows that they have been a part of the practices of certain individuals. The Eagle is working for the best interests of Williamsburg, and to do this, it is necessary to bring about a reformation in the particulars herein mentioned. A significant Request. Mr. Fields Have you any Eap-les left over from last week? I cannot get my husband to bring last-.

week's copy home. I am thinking there must be something of unusual interest in it. Monday morning, Jan. 18. As stated some time ago, the Eagle has begun to use names, and the lords now diead the ordeal and try to postpone it by not taking the paper home for their wives and children to see.

All ladies can have an extra copy without charge by repoit-ing to this office. We will see that justice is not deferred by any endeavors to keep the paper from the eyes of their wives upon the part of the men whose names appear in 'our columns. A Welcome to AM- The hard times throughout the country the past year ani. the general depression of business in all branches has had a tendency to create a feeling of dissatisfaction and unrest among the people of the slates farther east, especially among the better class of larmerg, and many faces will be turned westward the coming spring in hope of finding "greener fields and pastures new." They need not look in vain. Kansas, as ever, holds out her hands and smiles her welcome to all.

She yet has many broad acres which need but" the toich of Ifie Newspaper Advertising. In the development of trade during the past generation or two, advertising has been resorted to and employed as never before, and through its mediumsbip the business enterprises of the country have been brought into prominence and before the public. The man who best understands this important governing principle of trade, who realizes the necessities of tie times and seeks to satisfy thent; who systematically and wisely advertises his business and gives people to understand that he leally means business and is thoroughly alive all that is going on, he, above all others other things being equul is the man who makes a finaifcial triumph in life and has bis efforts crowned writh the laurel wreath of success. The ways of adverthiug are in numerable and oftentimes display the greatest ingenuity, but the newspaper has long since been acknowledged the only legitimate advertising medium, and through its periodical columns thousands of advertisers speak to millions of readers. Newspapers go everywhere, ve read by all classes, at home and abroad, and there is scarcely an individual in the laud whose patronage is worth influencing who does not take or read a newspaper, or who may not be directly appealed toby a well advised -advertisctient.

Our business men, having faith in their own wares, realize that it is the most effective means for securing a wide recognition of the merits of their goods, and the most energetic and successful salesman they can engage. Ceaselessly at wcrk, it addresses thousands each day, in the interest of the advertiser, and is a persistent canvasser whose solicitations it is impossible to escape. Ex. SUGAR MANUFACTORY. Fort Scott, Kan.

Jan. 15. The board of trade of this city have closed a contract with L. Parkinson, of Ottawa, who is acting in befcalf of a syndicate of capitalists, who in consideration of 200 acres of land adjoining the city, donated by vhe board of trade, has agreed to erect in time for operation the, coming spring a sorghum sugar manufactory with a capacity to handle a hundred tons of cane per day. The process by which it is proposed to operate is koown as the diffusion process, the same as that employed in the manufacture of beet sugar in France.

In addition to the land donated by the board of trade Mr. Parkinson has purchased arother adjoining tract of 200 a total investment f)r the purpose of $20,000. Bottom Prices- We desire to say to the public that with the beginning of tha year we have marked dwn our goods to Hakd Times prices, and can save money for you by buying of us. We shall, also, adopt the cash system, believing it to be the best for the buyer and seller. Farmers will find a complete stock of general merchandise here at lower prices than this market has ever known.

We will give good prices for all kinds of produce. Give us a call aiid be convinced. M. Y. Hulett Soss.

2tf. they consider paint and powder; cheaper than soap n1 that they must resort to the composition of the chemist before they are able to appear in public? I would advise thein to throw nsido the inventions of Madame Dorsey and allow their blood to circulate and wear the bloom which nature intended them to have as it excels that of any artist. Ate thpy ashamed of the scrutinizing gaze of phrenologists, or has the lack cf intellectual development so far retrograded as to the cranium to shrivel away so as le make it distoitiul to behold? That they cut and i iz their few scanty locks which serve as the cupilia'-y adornment to their heads and draw them down over their foreheads, hiding the very part which denotes the intelligence. The dudine with her bangs aud frizes is too very much line a cow with a board over her eyes to keep her from jumping. Have they become so brepchy that they are liable at any time to jump the bounds of propriety that their mother's have to comb their hair down over their eyes? Is not the English language, as propounded by Green and Clark and defined by Webster, not sufficient that thev must have a dog latin of their own by which to carry on the commerce of thought which their small amount of intellect is able to produce? Clay, Calhoun and Webster would be me-diocres in the society of dudines as they would not be able to understand their conversation.

Have the heavy weights of jewelry, vthich they wear attached to the lower part of their cars, drawn the faculty of hearing out of shape, so that they are uuuble to appreciate the melodies of the past that they spend their time in hammering and pounding on a ian.i, making a noise which must grate harshly on the ear of any true lover of music? In the name of God and humanity give us back the neatly formed, healthful, modest, educated helpmate of the past and deliver us from the present conglomeration of patent fhape chemical complexion and hideous intellect.
