J. IJ. CROUCH, Editor and Proprietor. An intelligent gentleman from Atch- son, who spent several hours in town a few days ago, expressed surprise at tho rapid growth of Hillsboro. Ho regarded the country surrounding this place susceptible of groat development, and capable of sustaining a more populous community than any other section of Marion county.

Theso are fea tures of our town and vicinity which forcibly impress the minds of all who visit Hillsboro. Our town is now second to none in the county, in tho grain trade, and in some other lines tho neighboring towns find it a formidable rival. Wo venturo tho assertion that cfore freezing weather suspends ope rations, Hillsboro will have expended more money in buildings this year, thai' all the other county towns combined. And yet tho outlook for build ing in the spiitig is equally as good as now. This town and surrounding country has all the elements' 'of sub stantial wealth.and it is being developed as rapidly as any section of the state.

Besides its business advantages, it is oae of the most healthful commutitics to be found anvwhere. Fine Cattle and Extensive Farming. We recently visited Crane's famous cattle ranch in Durham Park township about thirteen miles north of Hillsboro. The emprovements at this ranch far excedod what we expecjed to see, A look at the fine stock is well worth a trip to the ranch. This great cattle range is enclosed with eighteen miles of board fencing, and near the southern border is a large and well finished dwelling which is occupied by the Superintendent.

The house stands on an eminence and is surrounded by a beautiful grove of Cottonwood trees. Several hundreds yards to the west are the sta bles containing some of the finest breed stock we ever saw. Large sums of money have been spent in building granaries and cattle sheds, and about a half mile south of the Superintendent's house has been erected a very large wind mill, which is used in grinding corn. All the buildings and equipage are on a grand scale, and indicate the investment of large sums of money. Mr.

Wm. Hollowell, the present superintendent, is an agreeable and energetic gentleman, and seems to be managing the interests of the Kanche with some degree of ability. We also had the pleasure of a visit to the premises of Mr. Henry Geise, who is a tenant on the Banche estate. He is perhaps one of the most extensive renting farmers it the county.

This last year he raised something over three thousand bushels of excellent corn, and harvested nineteen hundred bushels of No. 2 wheat. In addition to this he now has one hundred and fifty-five head of young cattle, and is prepar ing sheds with a view of enlargirg his herd. He is an inveterate worker, possessing a happy combination of physical endurance and untiring energy. Marion county needs more such farmers.

Henry Evert, who has been attending college at Damstadt, Illinois, returned to his home in this county, this week. He will graduate next June. The report last week that Commissioner Hoblitzell had been shot, in Colorado, was not true. The unfortunate man was a cousin of the Colonel, and who since died from the Avound. Senator- Crane, County Attorney Reed, and A.

McKee, of Marion Centre, were "in Hillsboro, this week, besides the candidates, who are innn merable, and are here so often we do not attempt to keep the run of them. A novel feature of Church festivals, in Peabody, is the dropping of whisky flasks from the gentlemen's over coat pockets, as they start from the refresh ment tables. There is something start ling about this custom, but it affords infinite amusement for the boys. It appears that our citizens here are just now ill a position to let a good thing for the town pass beyond their control in regard to tho new mill. Thev cannot afford to be absolutely independent in this matter.

Some concessions and mutual xuider-standing should be made between Mr Fnuk and our people. The simple fact that we have a first class mill in the town does not meet the necesi-sites of the place, and the sooner this fact is recognized the better it will be for the town. Corn in Neosho county is badly damaged by the wet weather. Potatoes fl'ro said to be worth $3 por bushel, at Newton. Copt.

J. D. Conner, of Butler county, had sixty-eight bushels of corntotlio aero this year. Burrton, Harvey county, wants the MePherson branch road extended to that town. The Halstead Independent is jubilant over the expected building of tho Wichita it Southwestern Ilailroad to that place.

Wellington Press: Tho demand for com at fifty to fifty-five cents per bushel continues as strong ns ever, with a considerable amount coming i.i everyday, Jewell County Review Mr. A. H. Kellogg bought last spring 40 head of Texas steers for $11.50 per head, and sold them again this fall, without haying expended a cent on them, at $'22M per head. Jewell County Review There will not be as much corn burned for fuel, the coming winter as there was Inst, and if the tens of thousands of bushels that were burned Inst year were now in the cribs of the farmers, it would set this county up in business.

Mr. Risley will soon have an office put up on Main street, for his land and loafing business. The Misses Whipples and Miss Snydei, of Marion Centre, visited Hillsboro this week. We are promised a full-fledged barber from Peabody Saturday'. If he comes the gentlemen of Hillsboro will, we think, give him a patronage sufficient to induce him to remain permanently.

Look out for him Saturday- From the Intelligencer we learn that a merchant in Hillsboro fell asleep on his counter, the other day, and then fell off the counter and nearly broke his ankle. He was probably some fellow who don't advertise, and his sad, sad fate, should be a warning to others of his class. Record. Misapprehension, Bro. Hoch.

This merchant advertises liberally in the Ixtelliuescer, and his drowsiness was induced by overwork in sewing the crowds of customers "who throng his store late and early. Wheat continues to decline in price, and many farmers who have their crops yet on hands, are growing alarmed. It has reached the low price of 75 cents here, although some brings a higher price. It was our opinion some weeks ago that the farmers had better take 95 cents for their wheat if thev could get it. We do not believe ncny that they should be in any hurry to sell their wheat at the present ruling prices, While it is possible that wheat may go still lower, there is no legitimate reason to believe that it will remain so any length of time.

It is safe to assume that in a short time No. 3 wheat will reach 90 cents again, but the legitimate demand will not hold it above that on this year's crop. Report of Peabody Library.
