REFLECTIONS: Pears are worth $4 per bushel. Miss Carrie Dixon is quite sick with fever. The razor and scissors grinder man is in town. No eggs in town, Butter bring a few. somebody.

Henry Dockhorn has been down with bill ious fever. A. large drove of sheep passed through town Monday going west: Cyrus Saxton, an old resident of this section, gave us a call Tuesdsy. Peaches sell at from 50 cents to $1,00 per bushel, according to quality. A.

E. Campbell will sell you calico at cents by the bolt. 6 Miss Bell, of Parkville, Mo. is sick at Rev. Hoffman's in this place.

Wesley Trevett has been engaged to teach a school at Dexter, in Cowley County. Change of weather last Saturday night. We are now having hot days and cool nights Misses Fanny and Minnie Campbell returned from St Josebli Wednesday. John Brazelton is the boss fruit shipper in this vicinity. Mrs.

Uriah Griffith has been very sick this week, but is now better. Troy had three holidays last week, Sunday, Thursday and Friday. Now don't the flies just tease a fellows nose and things this weather? Billy Wallace puts on airs with that cent hat he bought of Campbell. Henry Beardsley come from the west Thursday last bringing a young Antelope with him. It will make a nice pet.

All the nice boys have their hair closely lawn mowed. It stabs the flies to death and bothers the mosquitoes. Why don't the street sprinkler get out with his squirting fixen? The streets need a little wetting up now. Aug. Miller has the thanks of this office for a lot of nice peaches from his Rose Hill residence.

The paw-paw crop promises to be large. The "pa- pa" and "ma-ma" crop is also on the increase. A. J. Selover, E.

V. Snively, and 'Squire Dixon left Tuesday for the State Convention. We have received a complimentary ticket to the Brown county fair, which comes off September 18, 19, 20, and 21. Cold nights. Now put up your stoves, put on your flannels, and be careful you don't get the ague.

Rober Tracy, of Troy is the father of a new girl baby. Robert was doing well at last accounts. E. R. Westfall, of Elwood, called on 11S Monday.

He has been engaged to teach the Fall and Winter term in the new school house at that place. Last week the types made us say Brazelton was selling hats for 20 cents. Mistake. It should have read 50 cents, which is cheap enough for a man's wool hat. W.

S. Tipton, who advertises "Daimond wheat" is a fraud. His diamond wheat is nothing but California barley. We have seen both, and know whereof we speak. If this hot weather is caused by Sam Gramer's thermometrs he'd better get a new supply, or take the old ones down the cellar, They get too high.

If you want your hair trimmed nicely, or a good shave, go to Kuhn, at his tin shop in Wathena, the only place in town where you can get barbered. 6-tf While at Troy last week, we met Mr. and Mrs. Ross Sturgis and their two pretty little children. Ross is a good boy, a good printer, and has a nice little home.

Success to him. Early planted corn has fully matured in this locality and the stalks are fast turning yellow. The late crop is well advanced and will be all right if frost holds off for two weeks longer. A blacksmith left town suddenly Sunday night. He was invited to leave.

The boys thought it was mean of him to visit the lumber yard with a colored woman, so they told him to git. And he got. Dog days there are several dogs about town- -miserable flea bitten, illbegotten, worthless curs who make -night hideous with their howling. The city Marshal will please take notice. W.

H. Wilson, late of Sabetha, Kan. gave us a call Friday last. He was on his way to the Solomon Valley, from Plano. Ill.

with a drove of horses. He had a fine outfit and some good stock. He expects to settle on the frontier, somewhere. A man came and asked how the paper. "Two dollars! at that price," were rich and per for the fun we were poor, a reduction in being rich, ant, and don't the paper sells of the fun, we devil a present into our office the other day much we charged a year for We told him two dollars.

Why you ought to get rich said he. We told him we were only publishing a paof the thing, you know. If and hard up. we might make price as an inducement, but we are, of course, independcare a continental whether or not. When we get tired intend to make some poor of the office.

The Harvest Home. Thirty persons from this place boarded conductor Chapin's train on Thursday last and went to Troy to attend the Harvest Home celebration. The day was very hot yet we found it delightfully cool under the trees in the Troy park. Present, five hundred persons, mostly farmers, their wives, and children, who seemed to enjoy the occasion, as it was a relief from the busy cares and endless hard work of farm life. In fact, it was a regular oldfashioned farmer's picnic, managed by old settlers.

One thing we noticed, namely, the almost entire absence of politicians and office seek: ers, who, on other occasions, have made these festivals seem like a political meeting instead of a social gathering. The meeting was called to order at 11 o'. elock oy W. D. Riypey, of Then prayer by Rev.

Amos, music by the Troy band, and reading of the Principles of Grange by John L. Blair. Music by the band and vocal music under direction of Prof. L. H.

Miller. Then adjournment for dinner, At 2 o'clock. Col. D. P.

Mitchell, National Greenback candidate for Governor, was introduced to the audience and after a half houd's talk to the Grangers on the agricultural interests of the country, was asked to give his views 011 the currency question which he did briefly and plainly. Mr. Mitchell has been a life long Republican, and has done much hard work for the party in Kansas, He is by all odds the most able Methodist minister in the State, and is a Greenback man on principle. Whether his views are right or wrong is a question for the people to decide at the polls. Timely Topics.

Boys, get your sleds in order. And fix up your skates, also. -Two men froze to death near Troy, yesterday. Thermemeter 150 in the shade. Never felt such coolness.

Trains are all snow-bound near SeneCa. We heard a man say it was hot last week, but he was only joking. Now dig your hay and mow your watermelon crop. A ton of ice wanted at this office to can for Winter use. The skating on the mill pond is excellent.

We don't see any spare ribs or sausage in 1 market now. P.S. Take it back. Saw a horse carrying around a lot of spare ribs just now on the street. Sprinkle ashes on your icy sidewalks or somebody will get hurt.

He poked his head in through the door and said, "Did you see such hoHe did not finish sentence. We kicked ever. him so high that when he came down his remains had to be gathered up in a dustpan. These frosty mornings are bracing. One does not have to wear suspenders.

We object to boys throwing ice snowballs. One came in through our window the other day and mashed the erystal out of our gold watch which lay on the piano, besides damaging a $500 mirror, and killing our imported Maltese cat. Of course these are trifles, but we don't want the house banged down by snow balls. That snow joke. Early Rose grapes are being dug now.

They yield more to the bushel than the Magee Light Brahma, and don't require so much feed. They are a hefty grape. This frosty weather is bad for Black Spanish sheep. Their combs are very tender and liable to freeze. Take them in of nights and cover them with blankets.

Summer pruning is unhealthy for pumpkins, as it is apt to dry the berry up, and make the tree stool out too much. Do your pruning about Christmas. Buckwheat cakes should not be pulled before the middle of November. Then store them in a dry cellar with a barrel of maple molasses. The two go together very well.

SOLON SHINGLE. Elwood Items. The change of weather Saturday night and Sunday highly appreciated. The weather, has been exceedingly hot during the past week. We fear from the change, that the result will add considerable sickness.

There has been several cases of fever in this vicinity. Dr Wintrey has been the attending physician, with good success. Mrs H. H. Lambert accompanied by her two daughters left a few days ago for Texas to join her husband.

She has the best wishes of the people of Elwood for her safe arrival. The wife and famliy of Mr Nathan Porter have been very sick, but are getting better at present writing. The school house is about completed. It has been nicely painted by Mr J. R.

Stone; adds greatly to his reputation as a painter. There is a certain family not over a thousand miles from Elwood, that, judging from their high tone of conversation we conclude that peace and harmaey do not prevail. We do not wish to have anything to say about family affairs, but we promise that in the event of its continuation to apprise you of the names of the parties alluded to. A person naturally from the appearance of our city during the day would think it remarkable dull, but we invite you to be present between 6 and 7 P. you will find that we have men of industry, that are willing to work and can do all kinds of work.

We had the pleasure of an introduction to the Rev Huffman a few days ago in Elwood. We wer much pleased on making his acquaintance, as he is both social and entertaining. The Rev James Kemp is at present attending conference which is being held at St Joseph. We noticed Capt Frank Godby land his boat on Saturday. Ile is transporting poles to be used on the dykes.

He has an excel. lent crew with him viz: William Lake, Chas Hair, Robert White and John Jones, all men of experience. We only heard of six candidates for the legislature from this district.

He is in the merchantile business at Chilocothe, O. We hope he will enjoy his visit, as doubtless his coming is highly appreciated by his parents. SWEITZER. The Ohio Re-Union, The committee announced to make arrangements for the Ohio Reunion in this county met at the Court House last Thursday afternoon, and had the following proceedings: They hold the Re-union at Troy on October 3rd. 1878.

F. Kotseh has built a new pavement in front of his lot on Main street. Leland is shipping his pork this week. Mr. and Mrs Higby were welcomed home last week.

Both look well, enjoyed their trip, but glad to get home; for to them and to all, "there is no place like home." The school Board has hired as teachers for the coming year D. D. Rose, Principal; Miss Eva Wood, Miss Emma Toner, and Miss Amos, assistants. Mr. Plank, the new milles of the Banner Mills, has gone to work.

He is said to be a miller of many years experience. E. A. Davis, of Wathena, was up taking notes of the Harvest Home last Thursday. This is going to be a bad, bad year for independant candidates in this county.

The people have no use for any man who is so pure and altogether lovely that neither party is good enough for him to affiliate with. Mitchell spoke earnestly, but he seemed to have no realization of time or eternity. The Harvest Home was really a Greenback political meeting, and there was a notable absence from its entire management of all of our hard working, legitimate farmers; the men who attend to their own business and succeed. We disagree with our correspondent. The men who attended that gathering were all farmers, but disguised in clean shirts and store so you did not recognize them.

Don't you call Rippey a horny-handed son of toil ED. MIRROR C. B. Roundy, H. M.

Shaner, Ed Heeney, all teachers in the A grade, have secured good schools for the Winter. The circus was a fraud in every sense of the word. Prof. McCarty has made many friends. District Court commences on Monday next.

The bottom has fell out of the Greenback movement here. Since the Harvest Home, the leaders have been, coquetting with the Democracy and the few honest Republicans that were being misled have returned, and can again be counted with the men who wish to pay honest debts public and private Robert Tracy and Tom Heatley left for Topeka Tuesday to be present at the State Convention. One of the young ladies attending the institute has an autograph album in which are inscribed the names of many friends, and here and there a sentiment that attracts attention. One by a lady friend reads as follows: "In this world there are we must either squeeze or be squeezed." Her head is level. I heard a young lawyer remark, upon hearing of the above, that he was a lemon squeezer in active practice.

THE MAN ABOUT TOWN. From Petersburg Bottom. The health of the bottom is improving, I think. We prevented a great deal of sickness by building a levee and preventing old muddy from overflowing our bottom land. The farmers here are having their grain threshed out.

Wheat is fine and yields well as to average. Joseph Randolph had 1,300 bushels off of forty acres, yielding bush els to the acre. The corn crop is fine where it was well cultivated. School meeting of District No. 11 passed off quietly.

The meeting voted a six months school, to be taught by a male teacher. Joseph Randolph was elected Treasurer. The farmers are all busy plowing tor fall crop, but the weather has been so extreme hot that teams could not plow more than half day at a time. Last Saturday evening few clouds loomed up from the northwest and brought a fine breeze which relieved both man and beast, who were almost ready to sink under the heat. Old muddy has da maged the bottom by washing off several farms, but it has stopped cutting the banks and commenced cutting out a channel in the center of a large sand bar opposite where it cut the land away, and has about stopped cutting It is to be hoped it will make a permanent change.

People are preparing for the herd law which takes effect on the first of the monthMost of the farmers are content with the law. As regards politics, the farmers of Marion have not had much time to take an active part, but are satisfied with the nominee for Congress, and it Price and Martin are nominated, we will roll up our usual majority for the Republican ticket this fall. But whether they are nominated or not, we are square on the Republican platform. Old Marion is right side up. FARMER.

Districl 74 Items. Hot weather continues, unmolested 1 by showers or balmy breezes. Fall plowing is nearly completed, and some expect to commence seeding next week, if it does not get too dry for that business. We are to have a six months school, and the school house is to be painted and the grounds fenced and otherwise improved. This looks like business.

Several new graneries have been erected in this vicinity lately. This looks well for the county, if scripture does say not to tear down your barns and build greater. Charles Fitzpatrick has returned from his western tour highly pleased with the country and especially with that quarter section he purchased in Thayer county, Nebraska. Peaches and grapes are ripening rapidly. There is a good crop of each, but the ket is rather low and prices on the decline; still they are not bad to have around.

Correction in my last items. I spoke of the bridegroom bringing the fatted calf. It was a mistake; it was only the tender half of a cow, but the wedding passed off all right and the happy couple left for their home in Atchison County, accompanied by the bride's grandmother and the good wishes of their many friends. Mr. Olden, Missouri, had the misfortune to founder one of his horses while on his western trip so badly that he was obliged to leave it with his father-in-law, Mr.

T. Rice, for repairs, and borrow another to take his wagon and harness home. RAMBLER. The pen may be mighter than the sword, but we'd rather have a sharp pair of seissors and a pot of good paste. Jacob Stuart had his arm broken in Wa thena last Saturday while engaged in a game of shoulder striking.

He went out in the field to work in the afternoon, was sun struck, went back to the house, fell to the floor and died shortly afterwards. He was buried Sunday in the Wathena cemetery.

Deceased was an old resident of this county and a hard working man. going home from town last Friday, Bob Harvey met with an accident which came near proving serious. Near Peter Deiter's farm Mr. Harvey's horses got frightened, became unmanageable, and ran away, Mr. Harvey jumped out and was knocked senseless.

He recieved several bruises, but is attending to business as usual. No damage done to horses or wagon. SOLD--A number of persons at this place got ready to go to the Harvest Home Festlval at Tro last week, expecting to pay cursion rates, as advertised. But on arriving at the depot the agent said he had received no instructions. to sell tickets at less than regular rates.

So our citizens were compelled to pay full fare or stay at home. Now whose fault was this? Will the man-agers of the Harvest Home please rise and explain? three weeks ago, the father of Charles Menefee, from Keokuk County, Iowa, came out to look at Kansas. So Charley rigged up a wagon and they went west to the Solomon Valley. Last Friday they returned, being so well satisfied with the country out there, that the elder Menefee will move from Iowa in a few weeks. They report crops splendid in the Republican and Solomon Valleys, and are delighted with that part of Kansas: Sunday morning, about 2 clock, some scoundrel set fire to Henry Dockhorn's saw mill, situated on the river, a mile north of Wathena.

Loss about $700; no insurance. It was the work of an incendiary, as the mill had not been running for over two months, nor had there been a fire about the place during that time. The fiend who will thus wantonly destroy another's property, deserves hanging when caught; or, as the Dutchman said once about a criminal who was to be hung, "Dat ish too goot vor him: he ought to hat his pehindt kicked like by shimminy gristmas." people should bear in mind that our County Fair will be held this year September 24th, 25th, 26th, and 27th. No exertions will be spared to make this the most successful fair ever held in the county. In order to attain the highest success, inventors and manufacturers in every department of industry, will do well, to at once make arrangements to exhibit their inventions and products, no matter what the nature of the article, or for what use intended, it will be welcomed by the management, afforded full opportunity for exhibition, and no doubt given a premium of honor and value.

Stock and farm produets of all kinds should be also got in rendiness. The way to make our County Fair a success is for all to take an interest in it and be on hand with some article for exhibiton. If there is no such law, the Legislature should pass one forbidding the cruel practice of working lame and deformed horses. We should also have a municipal law to that effect.
