A. M. Pogue and his good wife have been blessed with a little baby bov to love and care for. Always hoping.as we all do, that in the future years he will honor and care for tbex. The livery buslue6g lu Scandia is quite brisk.

Smith Cullers recently purchased several new buggies for their trade. Now if the "young bloods" desire to show their best girls how skillfully they can handle the ribbons, they will know just where to procure a "sulpshus" rig. But few towns can say, in this country, that they can support thrte first-class livery stables. -It has been whispered to us, nub roa, that there is to be a tony wed-ding in our midst at no distant day, and we hope not to be dis-supoiuted. There is something about these liule ard Important af-fuirs that is quite agresable, especially to the immediate parties con trading.

We know the parties interested aud we will give them a good send off when they tie. Bens. Elliott is the jolliest drayman in the We often heur him at early dawn, not "brushing the dew upon the upland lawn," but singing in a hilarious voice, "It ever I marry, I'll marry a maid." Just what Bens, menus by this beautiful sentiment, we cannot iniugine. It he would substitute the word widow in the stead of nai it would leue some fellows bereubouts amazingly. And still they come.

At the Republican pnmury last Suturduy, ths people, believing thut party politics in county matters is a humbug, elected as as delegates two known democrats to represent them in the Republican County Convention to be held at Belleville' next Saturday. This is true principle for the people to act upon. These county matters are something that concerns us all. no matter what our political beliefs may be, and the farmers should stand shoulder to shoulder and work and vote together for the best men. You are neighbors and friends und we can see no reason why you should not work and vote together in county elections as you would work to aid each other in your fields.

Mr. Price, of Republic City, visits ur town quite often. L. J. Sigsbee and John Goold have opened a nice meat market next door to the new brick building in Scandia.

We hope they will meet with the sue-cess their energy merits. Stoves, overcoats, and glass were suddenly called to the front last Friday and Saturday. Kansas weather is the most exhilarating, salubrious and delightful weather in the world, but sometimes it is as giddy and treacherous us a coquette. Scandia is becoming a great trade centre. It always has ranked first In this section of the state, but now the Jurge stocks of general merchandise lately brought in offer great induce, ments for buyers to come a long distance in order to secure the advantage ufforded by a large stock to select 10(11.

Matching stove pips is not calculated to develop the nobler virtues in a nervous individual, and we have even beurd women say "darn it" when the pipe refused to go to its place. Then what a satisfactory pas-timo to stand and hold pipe for an ho ir and twenty minutes, while a boy cun go down town after a new length. The columns of a local' newspaper is no place for quarrelsome Individuals to air thfair troubles. In the first place the public does not care to read such "truck," and in the second place it damaees the paper which thows the "mud." It is perfectly right for an editor to severely criticise pub-wrong, and in fact it is his duty to do so. But the persoual slurs that appear at times, in some of our local newspapers, are a shame to an intelligent commuoity.

Charley Gulick has been heard from. He has been to Louisville and done the Exposition and then visited Richmond and spent a few days in Washington with the Ion ton and now he is wandering among the mountains and lakes of Eastern New York, fishing for trout, hunting squirrels and woodcock nnd having a grand time generally. If there is any one this mundane sphere that can appreciate a good time, and make a good time for others that man is Charley Gulick. One of Belleville's tourists and best nntnred voting men was in our city last Monday, looking fora stove, of course a cook stove. and we thought we saw him walk down toward one of the furniture stores.

It cannot be that he proposes to steal a march on his friends at the shire town, and shake off that single blessedness. When we see an energetic young man eagerly looking for a stove, we have vivid presentiments of a matrimonial necldent. or catastrophe, or or what word do we want, anyway? Well, we hive some eleirant stoves Scandia for that purpose, and lots of prettv girls to go with 'em, if the boys would only "ax" 'em. Scandia people were humbugged last winter on several occasions by snide lecturers and sleight-of-hand frauds or the worst character. She will be pestered again this year by BANK.
