uii Sntnribiv I'vcninc. Kvnrvtwulv tt. A Eitthdav Party, From the Comity Uorord. most delightful entertainment, in the lurm ot an ladies' tea part v. was given last Saturday evening by Miss me ase, honoring the occasion ot the seventy-third birthdav of Grandma Fife.

It wag in everv resneet one of the neatest allairs that has transpired in Marion Centre in inanv a dav. A very pleasant company of old ladies was rcsent, and all sejjjned to bo transported back sovoir! decades in life; and surely never was seen a brighter, happier, sweeter face thair that of the renerable recipient of the honors, Mrs. Fife. They were all tidilv and hand somely attired, ami seemed as gay and cheerful and full of fun and good humor as a bevy of romping, rollicking, bluHiig girls and eould their respect ive lords have happened in, there would undoubtedly have been some genuine old-fashioned courting done there and then. Wi' merry sangs and friendly cracks, I wot tliey did na weary; And unco' tales and funny jokes, -Their sports were cheap and cheery.

Dinner was announced at rive o'clock at which repast, by the way, was simply superbgotten up in Miss LaYilla's most elegant style, who presided at the festive board with her usual rtueenlv dignity. As an entertainer, she has few equals and no superior. Dinner over, a short time wa3 spent in social chat, recounting the "good old days of yore," then all took their leave with happier hearts, unanimously wishing that they might all bo spared to celebrate as pleasantly many more tnuiversafies of Grandma F's birthday. Honorins an ex Governor, from the Topckq, The' memory of Gov. Beeder is at last to bo honored by having a county called by his name.

There is a bill in the Senate which proposes to consolidate the counties of Sequoyah, Kearney and Hamilton, and naming the county as above. The object of the change is this, the territory named lies on both sides of the Arkansas river, away out beyond the rain belt, Last year experinehts of irrigating portions of the valley was tried and found to be a success, but tho many thousands of cattle and sheep that roam at will all through that country made farming well nigh impossible, and looking ahead to the happy time when their counties could be organized, there was little hope from the frvct that only along the river, where irrigation couid be relied upon, would it be possible to open up the land for farming purposes consequently it would be many years before, under this new. Jaw, population enough could be secured to organize these counties. By this bill the three counties will be consolidated and the the required number of people secured. The people along the river say they need schools and organizing the county will give them these prl'veleges.

The friends of this bill claim that a large amount of capital will come into their section, to open up irrigating ditches if the legislature will grant their request by creating the county of lleeder, thus giving the people the right to declare in favor of a herd law and looking after the education of their children.

On Saturday the editor of this paper boarded a freight train and invaded the county-seat with colors streaming and banners Hying? He found the streets crowded with teams, vehicle. and foot passengers, who, no doubt had some intuitive knowledge of the arri-yal of so distinguished a personage, and longed to shower upon him the honors of helping to publish the best newspaper in central Kansas price, $1.50 per annum; clubbed with the Leavenworth Times for $1.75. did not take long for us to discover that we were about to receive a magnificent ovation, as it were. We braced up and assumed an air of 'profundity befitting the occasion. The first person we particularly noticed was the editor of one of the leading papers of the village, the Record.

Ilia countenance was filled with sudden awe, or suthin', as he meekly clutched his old hat and edged past on "the other side. Each side of the principal street was lined with an eager throng qf specta- tors, anxious to catch a glimpse of the advancing hero. Among these we noticed the fragile form of John Brumbaugh, perched on the apex of a barber pole for the better observation E. A. IJodge, stretching himself out of a second-story window for a dangerous distance, and Kit Reed, sitting ona stairway bannister.

As soon as we could elbow our way1 through the crowd, we entered the office, and caused a mighty consternation to fill the little shop. Will Hoch's attention bad been deep- iyabsorbed in the last issue of his only exchange, The Phonograph; Ed was sitting on a nail keg, and was just finishing the distribution of the type of his last paper into the oyster can kept for that purpose, and Dan was running a few dozen election tickets, while a suppressed snicker boam oyer his features at the prospect of a few nickels of spending money. We were immediately beset by the hungry crowd, who piteously begged for apples and cigars pn various pretexts. We left. Went to the Banner office.

Found it empty, swept and locked up. Hunt hadn't the courage to endure the glory of our presence, and left town, The concentrated gaze of the multitude rendered us uncomfortable, and we wliiled away a few pleasant hours ftt the homes of Messrs. Schell and T. P. Groat, and then proceeded to the depot to await the coming of the train, amid the tears and acclamations of the populace.

"Were somewhat surprised, on passing the court house, to hear the brass band in that bu'tding, serenading us. boys were too modest to appear in the open air. At the depot we encountered a delegation of citizens, who, perceiving we were about to depart, mournfully pressed our hands and bade ua weep. We wope. Just before we entered the train we discovered Charlie Triplett, of the Gazette, standing at a respectful distance, he was doubtless afraid of the effect his forgery sell would have upon us but we forgave him long ago, Were soon seated in the car, and as the train sped on its way, we were conscious of a mingled sense of fatigue, glory and mud.

Drat that Marion Centre mud! It sticketh closer than a creditor. The only relief we experienced was to hang our pedal appendages out of the window and let the gentle evening zephyrs spread themselves on them. We got home. J. J.

While in arion Centre on Saturday, the editor of The, Phonograph eallod a the new land office of Wallace Nail, an old journalist, who has given up that profession for the more lucrative one of land agent, and who receiftly made Marion Centre his home and place of business. He transacts a general property business such as selling and leasing farms, lots and buildings, on commission, and making put deeds, and mortgages, contracts and He is aided in this business by an extensive eastern and sputnern acquaintance, by a long experience in his vocation.

It will pay you to see him if you have any business in his line you rant transacted. The HardwareJTride. Hoover, of Teabody, will move his hardware and agricultural implement establishment to Hillsboro about the 1st of March, and will occupy the vacant room in Funk's building.

Dole Beck are about to stock up in this line also, and some talk of other parties engaging in the These new hardware firms will make the business lively here, as Palmer Bro's will perhaps continue the business, and Sicker will of course remain, and stock up their new building in grand style as sqon as that structure is ready for use.

We have seen some noted establishments in our time, All the leading journals of the country are more or less noted so are we. They have all erected fine buildings, varying in style of architecture somewhat so have we. The fact of the business is we are particularly noted for the variation in style we have made, Our architect snbmit-ed different plans, such as a cottage roof, common gable roof, hip roof, mansard roof, but none struck us as being elaborate enough, Brigham Young's tabernacle was.submited with like success. The Queen's Palace and the noted cathedral at Cologne, and St. Paul's cathedral at duly considered, but no go, The architect, in a fit of desperation, concocted an original plan of oondereus details, including high arched ceilings, circular roof, fantastic gildings, elaborate cornices, which has been accepted.

We undertook to have the model on paper transformed into a real structure. We have nearly completed our design, and when you come to Hillsboro you are cordially invited to give it an examination and of course leave your name for The Phonograph.

On Monday several citizens of Hills-boro interested in township election matters, went to Marion Centre and drove back with Sam Bown, Clerk of the District Court, for the purpose of securing the naturalization of many Germans who wished to vote. While here Mr. Bown made Mr. Frybarger's store his headquarters, and was hard at work until nearly midnight turning out citizens of the United States.
