Comrades, who the next will be That the summons will receive Xone may know, but certainly ever yet had one reprieve. One by one they pass from earth, One by one we bid adieu; Then remember all their worth. All they did and bore for you.

For 1.90 you will receive for one year both your home paper and the Louisville Courier Journal. The Courier Journal (Henry Watterson Editor) is too well known to require any new or extended introduction. It has beyond dispute the largest circulation of any Democratic weekly newspaper published. Each issue contains 64 columns of live news and interesting miscellany, Serial and short stories, Talmage's sermons, Agricultural and Live stock departments, Young folks and puzzle departments, are special features of the Weekly Courier Journal. It is the one great newspaper west of the Alegheuies and south of the Potomac and the Ohio, which has had the courage, the independence, and the ability to stand and resist the flood-tide of monopoly sweeping over the land from the head-waters of Bitter creek, in Wall street, and to make an upright, disinterested and successful defense of the tax-paying masses of the people.

Fighting all dishonest schemes, the Courier Journal is as a sentiual on the watch-tower, sleepless and vigilant. Those who desire to examine a sample copy can do so by sending a request to that effect to the Courier Journal, Louisville, Ky. Mr. Frank Larabee was the orator of Another Train. Thers is strong talk among the officials of the Missouri Pacific of putting on an additional train between Larned and Wichita in the near future.

Superintendent Spear who was in the city Friday, was asked about the project and expressed himself as in favor of it. A train that would leave here at adout 1 o'clock p. arriving in Wichita at about 6, and returning leave there at about 9 the next morning, would be a great accommodation to our merchants and others who have frequent occasion to visit that city. Agent Dor-sett informs us that the travel between the two cities is constantly increasing, and that in his opinion additional accommodations for this business would be a good thing both for the city and for the road.

speech, explaining the trials of the soldier in good shape, Mr. Larabee is a nutural orator and will make his mark iu the world. After the speaking the by the band and followed by ubout tOO people, marched to the cemetery, where they proceeded to decorate the graves of the departed ones. The number of old soldiers' graves are Increasing, year by and in a few years the old soldiers of both side will be no more. When a person stops to think of the number of soldiers' graves decorated north, south, east, and west, on yesterday, it is startling.

A light shower of rain, which came upjustasthe people started to return to the city, probably spoiled some of the tine hats for the Indies, but otherwise the day passed off very pleasantly. The ice cream festival given by the ladies of the M.E. last Thursday evening, was well attended and was a success. It has struck Stafford in its most malignant form, and seems like it has come to stay all season. We mean the base ball craze, Hon.

A. W. Smith, of McPherson, was the guest of Harry McQuade last week, Mr. Smith is one of the republican candidates for governor. The hail storm, last week, did considerable damage to corn and wheat south and southwest of here.

The worst part of the hail seemed to go in streaks. Henry Soice, who lives near Leesburg, had 50 acres of wheat totally destroyed, some of the farmers are replanting their corn. Gere's hall was well Thursday evening, with enthusiastic republicans, gentlemen and ladies, to listen to a political speech by '-Farmer Smith," of McPherson county, ho is a candidate for governor, Mr. Smith is a very good speaker, and everyone went way well pleased with themselves, and with the honorable speaker.

If this is all, when a yonng man ca'lsto seeayoung lady, send him into the bantry to taste the bread and rakes that she has made, or send him to eee the needle-work and bed-makng, or put a broom in her hands and send him to witness its nse. Such things are important, and the wise young man will quietly look after them. But what the true man most wants of a wife is her companionship, sympathy and love. The way of life bas many dreary places in it, and a man needs a companion with him. A man is sometimes overtaken with misfortune; he meets a failure and defeat, trials and temptations beset him, and he neds one to stand by and sympathize.

He has some stern battles to fight with poverty, with enemies and with sin: and he needs a woman who, as he puts an arm around her, feels that he lias something to fight for, and will help him fight, who will put her Hps to his ear and whisper words of counsel, and her hand to his heart and impart new iisFpira'ion.
