After hearing evidence in the case, Judge Witt gave Chris. Winters, the plaintiff, judgment tor $89.40. Wood, of Girard Was attorney tor defendant, and T. W. Wells, of Girard for the plaintif.

In arguing against the city of Parsons voting bonds to build A new railroad to Mound Valley the Parsons Eclipse uses this argument. "It (the K. C. Ft. Gulf) probably takes a dozen men all told to attend to its business in Parsons, and it has built up the town of MeGune within fifteen miles which has detracted whole townships frem the trade of Parsous." The argument, is 3 good one throughout and we endorse it.

Too ink that if 1 town gets cross railroads, it is all right. Many a flourishing town, doing a good business, while it had one railroad, has been killed by getting another one. DIED--Mrs. Ora Francis Nunn. She was born in Gass county, Illinois.

AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS! THE FAMOUS POWER-LIFT GILPIN SULKY PLOW. In the spring of 1875 the Gilpin Sulky Plow was first introduced to the farmer, when it at once took the leading position, which it has held ever since. The continuous the eccentric, crank, and axle furrow and single the lever, wheels und the so prin- adciple of carrying weight of plow upon was mirable in operation that a large demand sprung up which increased year by, year.

The only, planter made that adapts itself perfectly to the surfaae of the soil, both a foot and hand lever for raising the runners or instantly forcing them into hard ground, and at the same time preserve the flexibility of the frames, or which can be made perfectly rigid if desired.

This combination of advantages, adds wonderfully to the value of a planter. THE DEERE SPRING CULTIVATOR A sale of 20,000 last spring is convincing proof of its This cultivator is so ensily and quickly handled that a team does not have to be held up in the most crooked rows. The shovels are sustained on springs, when in operation, instead of dragging on their points, effecting the nimble bundling of shovels in the ground and ease of draft to the team. The spongs are used to arrest the tendency of the shovels to run deep, and this is what lightens the draft on the team and labor to the plowman, transferring as it does the weight of shovel rigs to the wheels Chamberlain Stirring Plow, This plow has bean manufactured for a number of years and has given universal satisfaction. It has been tested in all kinds of soil, and stood the test.

The mold board is as hard as can be made, and all the material used in the Ohamberlain Stirring plow is the very best. We warrant them.
