Mr. Ball was a regular caller at the Journal office and we enjoyed his society especially the recitals of his experience in Europe while making his visit to friends and relatives there.

There is some talk of building a church here and we sincerely hope it will not be dropped by merely talking about it, but go to work ui good earnest and have it built, as it is something, we are certainly in need of and should not be neglected any longer. There is no doubt but that a sufficient amount of money can be easily raised among the citizens to build a good church. Quite a number have manifested a willingness to give $25,00 and some even more than that. All that is necssary is for some one to put his shoulder to the wheel and start it rolling and all will join in the good work.

A farmer living east of town received a small box one day last week by express. (Adams Express) which was the cause of creating quite a sensation. It appears he put the box in his wagon ana drove to the lumber yard to get some lumber and while ne was transacting business in the office, a tramp, who it seems had a strong desire to know what the box contained, proceeded to the wagon took the box under his arm and went out on the paririe and opened it. He found the box to contain a jug and the jug contained that which is unlawful to drink in Kansas, and what the Indians call firewater, but the tramp was liberal and divided with all wno wished to imbibe and they had a jubilee which lasted far in the night. The farmer went home a broken hearted man, but says he will bring the guilty parties to justice, W.
