H. Frybarger is not now, and never has been, editorially connected with this paper, the duties of that office devolving solely upon the man whose name at the head of its colums. In justice to Mr. Frybarger, however, we will state that he has e-xerted himself to a con siderable extent to extend its circulation. Had every Democrat in the county done by us one-tenth as much as Mr.

Frybarger, our tircu lation to day would be up among the thousands, for through his ex ertions alone over eighty names have been added to our subscrip tion list, and only last week be subscribed for one hundred extra copies, and for which he paid spot cash, five cents apiece. Our thanks are due, and we hereby tender them to him, for his efforts toward mak ing the Mariox Count Democrat a success. A good hat for a nickel and a good suit of clothes for two dollars is the way an Eldorado, Butler county, merchant advertises' in the papers. That place is certainly named aright, for it would be the eldorado to a poor printer to strike that town and get a week's work. Just think of it! A suit of clothes and a good hat for two dollars and five cents! Look out, Tolle, here we come.

A stall-fed editor (one meal a week) of a country paper that we know of, in his wildest fancy never dreamed there was such a chance as this to dress himself up and put on shape. Hiw we envy those Butler county editors. Under a law passed last winter the Board of County Commissioners were empowered to appoint a sheep inspector for their respective coun ties, in each eoanty in the State where sheep raising is made a business. During their recent session the Board of Commissioners of this county appointed Mr. C.

H. Thomp son to that position for Marion. Harry is known to be a successful sheep raiser himself, besides being a first-class gentleman, and we think that the mantle of the Commission er's appointment has fallen upon worthy shoulders. One day last week our office was favored with a pleasant visit from Mr. Alexander Grattan, of Branch township.

Mr. Grattan is one of the thorough going farmers of the county, a social and intelligent gentlemen, and a sound Democrat. IIeadq'rs Pollock Post No. 42. Dept.

of Kansas, G. A. K. At a special meeting of the officers and members of said post, held in their hall on the evening of June 2, 1883, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted: Whereas, Pollock Post No. 42, Department of Kansas, G.

A has lost its first comiade in the battle ith death. He was the oldest vet- el an, the bravest soldier in its ranks. He met his final fate as he met the enemy in battle, with undaunted courage, trusting that a tender Providence had provided tor him a soldier's home in the court of the Great Hereafter, and that a blameless live had fitted him to dwell within its tents. Resolved, therefore, That in the death of comrade William Fife, to whose courage as a soldier, and to whose virtues as a citizen we here bear testimony, this Post has met with a great loss, for though en feebled with age and sickness, be was a frequent attendant at its meetings, and his genial presence and kindly fraternal salutes were a source of inspiration and pleasure to us all. We can do nothing for him and his bereaved friends now, bat we can and will reverence his memory and govern our lives by those principles of Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty, whieh were so well illustrated in his.

Horses will run when frightened, especially when they are encouraged to do so by careless driving or hitching. Those who handle horses cannot be too careful with them. Last week we had the pleasure of forming the personal acquaintance of a handsome and intelligent young lady of Hillshoro, the one who furnishes the items each week from that point to the Democrat. "Who has lost a bonnet? A buff sun-bonnet has been hanging to the granery in the rear of this office for over a week. The bonnet is a good one, and when first placed in the position it now occupies, was stiffly starched and neatly done up.

Who owns that bonnet? Ilrmember that next Monday is circus day. When you come to the show be sure and bring a little ex tra change along with which to liquidate your indebtedness to the printer. If you can purchase the nxury of a circus ticket, you cer tainly can pay for one of your ne cessities the county paper. The following named gentlemen have been commissioned as officers of Company second regiment Kansas State Militia. Captain Frank Doster.

First Lieut. C. II. Thompson. Second Lieut.

F. Lewis. Company is the Marion company, and the commissions of the officers date from June 1st. The happiest man in Marion coun ty is Jas. Goff, who lives on W.

H. Conner's farm, seven miles north of Marion. The cause of his exuber ance of J3" is owing to the fact that a young lady took up her permanent abode at his house last Sunday morning. She weighed twelve full pounds, and the happy father weighs more than a thousand. Steiner Co.

wanted to put in a brand new advertisement in the Democrat this week, but "Boss" Steiner has been too busy to write it out. Look out for it next week. In the meantime, however, they are selling the most goods for the least money, and have the largest stock to select from of any store in the city. Call and see. i A card received by us the other day from a valued friend in a neigh boring town, contains the following encouraging sentences: "The Marion Democrat is a very neat paper.

I am glad to see ai.d know that it advocates the sound Democratic doctrine that it does. Stand firm, and you will see the sal vation of the Lord." Come to Marion to do your tra ding, where you can get the highest market price for anything you have to sell, and can purchase any article you wish to buy cheaper than in any city in central Kansas. Our merchants are a wide-awake, energetic class of business men, and the grandest stocks of goods are always to be found upon their shelves. If Marion is going to celebrate the Fourth of July this year it is time some steps were being taken in that direction. Come, fellow- citizens, what say you, let us join in and have a grand old fashioned celebration, such as Marion county has never seen but such as we can have if we all go in together.

Lost, straid or ashamed of themselves, 2 members of the "Fast Asleep" club. Any information leading to their recovery will be thankfully received. N. B. No reward, his Geo.

Howie. June 5, '83. mark. President. Since our friend Cosad has moved the office of the Chicago Lumber Company into its new quarters, every one connected with this popular firm is as busy as a bee, from early morning until late at night.

Van says that at the low prices at which they are now selling lumber, everybody is buying, and that neither himself nor the boys have time to go fishing or play marbles. Business is pressing, and lumber is being received every day. our citizens. They complain that not even so much as a ''lone, fisher man" was at the depot to welcome their coming. That some serious blunder occcurrcd, either at this end of the line or at the place of their starting, is self-evident.

On behalf of the citizens of Marion, we wil say that a more whole-souled, hos pitable, agreeable and entertaining class of people dwell not on the broad and fertile plains of Kansas, and the manner ot their reception of the Lyons excursionists cannot be laid at the'r door. Speaking for our self, we will state that we knew nothing whatever about the coming of the excursion until the train was side-tracked at our depot, and the excursionists mingling with our cit izens on the streets. Somebody is guilty of an eggregious blunder or error, which is humiliating, and one which places our citizens in the light of being distant or inhospita ble, which they are not. Let those responsible for the bad management of that day be censured, but don't hold our citizens, as a community, responsible for the acts of any indi viduals, be they whom they may. NOTICE NOTICE! Having bought out the stock of lumber of the Wisconsin Lumber Yard, we will heieafter occupy said yard as our place of where we will be pleaeed to meet our friends and patrons in the future, and hope by fair dealings and low prices to secure a continuance of their patronage.

Ordinarily this change would necessitate the removal of the old yard to the new, but to avoid this we propose to sell this stock at cost, thereby giving our patrons the benefit of cheap lumber, and at the same time save the expense of removal. Those who contemplate building will do well to get our figures before purchasing elsewhere. Respectfully Yours, Chicago Lumber Company. It is coming aud will soon be here. Cooper, Jackson Co's gi gantic circus and menagerie having decided to visit Marion, have fixed upon Monday.

This well-known and highly spoken of organization en joys the reputation of being one of the largest and most complete amusement enterprises of the age.
