Quite a number of the farmers in this vicinity will attend the coming term of the District court which convenes at Kingman next week, having been summonsed as jurors.

Mr. J. M. Hart has moved his house onto the lots just east of his livery stabie, and is improving it with a coat of plaster. The work is being done by Mr.

David Breese. A farmer living in this vicinity ship- ed I some seed corn to Ellis, where it was sold at the rate of $16 per bushel. The corn was raised on his farm near this place last year. We suggest that the next time one our young ladies ties a piece of paper to a hen's tail, she takes her laugh fore letting the hen loose, otherwise laugh may not materialize. The city council and mayor of Kingman have locked horns over the pointment of a man by the name Pettijon as assistant marshall and Democrat, of that city, says something is going to "drap." Mr.

Ceutralia, this state, has a cheese factory that turned out 25,000 pounds cheese last year. This means many dollars in the pockets of the farmers that section.

Nashville should make an effort to get either a creamery or cheese factory. Such an institution would pay both the projectors and the farmers. The large crowd of people who attended church here last Sunday morning and evening, would suggest the necessity of the church people securing the use of a larger building in which to hold services. A great many were unable to find even standing room in the building at both the morning and evening services. The dance given in Stimmel's hall on last Friday evening, is reported to have been the most enjoyable one ever given in Nashville.

A large crowd of our young folks were in attendance and enjoyed "tripping the light fantastic toe? until the morning hours began to grow small, when they returned home with happier hearts and beaming countenances, feeling that life possessed many joys for them. Mr. David Little, well known in this vicinity, died very suddenly of heart disease on Saturday last. He had been about his work during the forenoon and ate a hearty dinner, and atthe time of his death was in apparent good health. The funeral services were held on Monday, Rev.

Hendrickson officiating. The family and friends have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement. Rev. Hendrickson will deliver a lecture at the school house in this place this evening on "The Wines of the Bible." As this is a subject upon which there is a wide diversity of opinion it will doubtless call out a full house. Mr.

Hendrickson has given the subject considerable thought and study, and as he is a pleasant speaker, an interesting talk may be expected from him, and Bible students especially, should turn out to hear him. The lecture is free to all and a cordial invitation given to attend. Mr. Sylvester Wheeler, a farmer living east of Nashville, met with a peculiar accident one day last week. He had been to this place trading, and on his way home stopped to do some work his corn field, leaving his wagon at the side of the road.

He had crossed the opposite side of the field when discovered his wagon was wrapped flames. Hastening back he threw the wagon box from the running gear, thereby saving that portion of the vehicle. The wagon box and supplies were entirely destroyed. It is supposed the fire originated from some matches had purchased with his other goods and which were left in the bottom of the wagon box. On last Saturday, Mr.

Benj. Shepherd drove up to our door and invited to take a drive with him into the country. The invitation was accepted and to attempt to describe the beauties Liberty township at this season of the year, would be folly. To gaze upon the vast fields of growing oats, rye, wheat and corn is a pleasure indeed, and inspires confidence in our people. Farmers throughout the entire township are in high spirits and are putting out large crops, Mr.

Shepherd informing us that he had in about eighty acres of oats and one hundred and fifty acres of corn. His oats are about four inches high and a portion of his corn will be ready to cultivate by the time he has his planting In the Chicaskia bottoms everything looks fourishing and the plow is doing a great work here to bring the land under caltivation. The future promises to be a bright one for our farmers, and we sincerely hope they may realize their highexpectations. Stray Notice.

and one a black mare, 6 years old, branded oil left shoulder. A liberal reward will be paid for any information leading to their recovery. BENA. STIMMEL. Nashville Kansas.

The Kingman Courier of last week contained the following letter which appeared in the Pittsburg (Pa.) Dispatch and which the Courier very justly condemns in strong, plain English: SUFFERING IN KANSAS. To the Editor of the Dispatch. I deem it my duty to write to you concerning the condition in which this community finds itself. There are number of Pittsburgers here and several others who have friends in your city and the surrounding country. Last year the crops were a failure here, and this spring finds many, people in bad shape--indeed in absolute want.

I would suggest that you make known this state of affairs through the Dispatch, so that the friends of our people may send them help. We are unable to get anything here without cash in advance, and there is very little ready money. The money lenders charge 4 and 5 per cent a month, and that is more than poor folks can pay. Many have been obliged to apply to the state government for seed to plant, SO you can form some idea of the want that prevails. There is an urgent need of' help, and that too, at the earliest possible moment.

Times are very hard, but Kansas papers strive to hide the fact as much as possible. Please ask local papers to copy. J. SHAW. NASHVILLE, Kingman county, Kan.

We can readily agree with the indignant denials of the above that the Courier published, and we wish to go O11 record right here as saying that no such a person as J. Shaw does now nor ever did reside in this vicinity. We have made a dilligent search for his suffering lordship, but fail to find him. We did find to our full satisfaction that not a single person in this portion of Kingman county was now in need of aid, nor have they been during the entire winter: In fact, we doubt if any part of the entire state of Kansas is in as good condition as that portion of Kingman county lying adjacent to Nashville. Just what object any one could have in writing such unfounded reports to eastern papers, is beyond our comprehension.

It is a very unjust stab at the future prosperity of our little city, and our citizens are justly indignant that such false statements as the above should be sent out to the world. The time was, in years gone by, when Kansas needed aid, and then she was not ashamed to ask for it, and Shaw knows that if any one was suffering for the necessaries of life, the papers, instead of trying to keep it quiet would appeal to more fortunate districts for aid. Our county does not ask for aid from anybody, and those who are writing such letters to eastern parties, are unworthy of charity, but are seeking to gain an indolent livelihood by appealing to the generous charity of eastern friends. Last year, the corn crop of this portion of Kingman county, was more than an average crop. Thousands of bushels of that grain have been shiped out of Nashville this spring, and corn can be bought upon our streets now at fifty cents per bushel.

Our farmers count their growing crops by the hundred acres, and not one instance call be found where aid was asked of the state or any other source for seed, but on the contrary, all have been amply able to get what seed they needed, and have been able to pay the cash for it. No, Nashville is proud to say this modern murderer of the truth does not live within her confines, and his infamous letter is justly condemned by all our people. Beggs' Cherry Cough Syrup.

F. S. PECK, Druggist. Finished To Chicago. THE SANTA FE RUNNING ITS OWN TRAINS FROM KANSAS TO CHICAGO.

The foremost thoroughfare Kansas City to Chicago and eastern Cities. The Chicago, Santa Fe California Railway, being the Chicago extension of the Atchison road, is completed to Chicago, and commences on Sunday, April 29th to run through trains from Kansas City, Topeka, Atchison and St. Joseph to that city. The trains of the new line will be of the Vestibule pattern, of which so much has been said in the East. and will give the people of the West an opportunity to dip in and enjoy this much vaunted luxury.

The idea of popularizing the line with travelers has induced the Santa Fe to make a notable innovation connected with its Vestibule Trains: no extra will be made. All eastern lines charge extra for the additional accommodation. Our people attending the Republican convention in June will have a chance to test the new line. Begg's Cherry Cough Syrup.
