Whereas, Certain residents of Westmoreland having circulated and signed a petition- for tlie pardon of a man convicted of violating one or tne criminal laws of our State, called the Prohibitory Law, and Whereas, Said petition contains charges against our County Attorney, Hon. 11. S. Hick, Judge Martin, ana tne counsel for defence, and furthermore sent forth to the State and the County at large, a plea that said sentence was harsh and excessive, and was imposed for the purpose of influencing the vote of the citizens of this County on the proposition to levy a tax for County buildings, therefore Be it Resolved, That we as temperance men aud women and favorable to the interests of Westmoreland, do most emphatically declare against said petition and the allegations therein contained, and declare our confidence in, and our esteem for, Hon. R.

S. Hick, our County Attorney, and Hon. John Martin, our Judge. Resolved, That said County Attorney and Judge are entitled to the confidence and thanks of all law abiding citizens for their services and decisions on this case, and that said sentence was in accordance with our views and not excessive for a man who defied court, law and good morals, by keeping an epen bar within the shadow as it were, of said Court, and when in session, against the law in such cases made and provided. Resolved, That the Secretary correspond with oilier temperance organizations requesting from them an expression on this subject, for the purpose of over-coming, as far as possible, the injury to our cause and insult to our officers contained in and occasioned by said petition.

Delos Pike, President. F. Bently, Secretary. At Albuquerque, a reporter of the Democrat went through and interviewed the editorial excursionists as follows: "Are you a prohibitionist? What are the best towns you have seen since you left Kansas? Where have you enjoyed yourself most? Where have you seen the prettiest women? Who are your next candidates for president and vice presidend?" In reply to i he first, our Bob responded "Nix" and the Democrat sums up his other replies as follows: Chilcott's best towns are Albuquerque, El Paso, Santa Feand Chihua-nua, he enjoyed himself most at Albuquerque, "damfino" where he saw the prettiest womenjand he hasn't decided upon his presidential candidates. The Albuquerque Democrat Messers McElroy, Chilcott and Allison, of the Kansas Editorial party, took in the town yesterday, escorted by Hon.

Thos. Hughes. They were persuaded by that gentleman, that native wine was not intoxicating, and were quite willing to be induced to drink native wine at Huning's out of beer glasses. They got back to the cars with the aid of six other friends and wheelbarrows. McElroy, of the whole party, is the most impressed with the belief that native wine i3 a mocker.

ICemoTal of an Old Citizen. From the Holton Recorder. Isaiah Travis moved from Iowa to Kansas in 1858, crossing the Missouri River at St. Joe, Mo. After paying his ferriage his cash capital amounted to 25 cents in silver.

After crossing the river he drove west to Granada, in Nemaha county. Here he invested his cash in provisions with which to feed his family. With his 25 cents he purchased a sack of flour weighing over 100 lbs. This product was selling at this nominal price because of the large quantities that was thrown out by the wayside by the returning gold seekers from Tike's Peak. Discouraged to the last degree, and their teams exhausted to the.

last extremity, they were compelled to cast away everythingnot necessry to sustain life. Stopping at this point for a short time, Mr T. begun to look up a location for a permanent home, and finally settled upon Stranger Creek, taking up the land now known as the Walker farm. Residing here a few years, he sold out his farm and moved to a new place three miles north of his first location, and opened up a large farm on Spring Creek. When the war of the rebellion came upon us, Air.

true to ms laeas or justice and right, enlisted in Co. A. 6th Kansas Cavalry, for three years, or during the war. But during the first year of his enlistment he received a gun-shot wound in the left hand that necessita ted its amputation. He was now mus tered out on account of disability, and returned to Ms family.

Mr. misfortune misfitting him for active duty on the farm, he was compelled to work more with his head than his hands, and the result has proven that financially it was a fortunate change. Mr. T's 25 cents in the next 20 years grew to as many thousand. After providing for hi3 children, he still has a nice little competency left for his old days.

We are sorry that jacKson county nas to give him up, but we heartily recommend him to all lie mav meet, as a good and true man, and congratulate PottaT watomie county on its acquisition.

Daniels, We enjoyed a nice mess of them, for which Mr. D. has ur thanks. They were splendid specimens. F.

S. The above was just a little too previous. For just a3 we had written it, Mrs. Hick came in with another "basket full" of fine new potatoes. Such occa- sions as this reconcile us to our life.

Our friends have our thanks. Dr. Brill arrived home Monday. He is more than pleased with Kansas now that he has seen again the "ginger hills" of Ohio. lie thinks, and rightly too, that Kansas, and especially Pottawatomie and the Kaw ValTey and her tributaries are the garden spots of the world.

Fair, smiling, beautiful Kansas, if the sojourners among those eastern ginger hills could but see you to-day, what exclamations of praise and delight would escape their unwilling lips! Frof. G. D. King has revived the Ter ry paper, under the name of The Monitor. We wish him success.

The first number was a very interesting one. It was intensly local, aud Mr. K. apologized somewhat for that feature, as though it were a bad one. In that ho is The more local news in a paper the better the people like it, and the more chances it has to succeed.

They take the larger papers for general news and the home paper for local news. Last Monday we visited the bright little City of St. Marys, and, after transacting our business, accepted a seat in the carriage of Hon. II. H.

Hagan, the Mayor, and behind his dashing bays, we "took in" the sights. St. Marys is beautifully located and has many fine business houses and beautiful residences. She is a very queen, sitting on her throne, the rich Kaw Valley. After viewing the city, we drove out to the College and admired the handsome grounds.
