A correspondent writing of Mr. Walton's death from Clay Center, says: "The entire city is draped in mourning. The entire people, rich and poor, are b6wed with sorrow at the loss of their mayor, and their grief is ten-fold greater owing to the fact that Mayor Walton had of late taken up the fight for the people's rights. Our hero declared in a voice of thunder, that he loved his people more than he did the iniquities of a party ring. The honest principles which have ever been in his breast declared their superiority as with all his might, power and patriotic spirit he was fighting a hard fight to maintain the rights of the people.

Are my eyes bedim med with tears, or is it imagination? Me-thinks I see the tear drops coming from the old flag-staff as it stands at half-mast. The Country's flag was Walton's pet. The self-same staff, which has many times held forth the banner with the pride of the giant oak, now bows its head in mourning for its old master. Words fail to utter the grief of our town and county. Although death has taken him from his words, his deeds and his example are still in our minds.

Many a year will come and go ere the "foot-prints on the sands of time," of our beloved mayor will not be traced by those who to-day mourn the sudden loss of this useful man." $200,000 WORTH OF 600DS JUST RECEIVED BY The voters of this County will be asked to vote at the next general election, upon the question of County bonds, to build a jail.
