Alden is becoming a place of a good deal or importance. It is not only noted for being one of the heaviest grain points, in western Kansas, but is looming up politically. One of our citizens has been called on to be the democratic standard bearer in the senatorial contest, and two others have been nominated by county conventions for responsible offices. Onr town is the only one in Kice county tnat has a battery of light artillery, and an independent newspaper. It has the best natural advantages and the brightest prospects of any city in western Kansas.

The prospects are good for a heavy output of wheat this fall. The late soaking rains have left tho ground hi very line condition for plowing. The gentlemen who arc managing tho arrangements for the farmer's picnic, at tlis place, have had some neat bills run off advertising the picnic. Misses Wirtie, Docia and Delpha Wil-lett and Miss Grillle were among those from Alden, who made such a good record at the Lyons normal. J.

Saturday was a rainy day; one of tho tho kind the fanneia have been longing for. Tho rain Is a Utile lata for corn, but will be a great thing for pastures. The camp meeting at the grove closed last Weducfrtay The attendance, throughout, wa rory good.

The Kansas column tiiat paHris full of matter that interests Kaunas people.

Although the weather was unfavorable the republican rally last Saturday uiht was well attended. It was addressed by Ji'dgo Chapman, and a republican club was organized. Sound Aflvtce from a Sensible Farmer. Sterling Gazette. Alden, Aug.

26, 1888, To the Editor of the Gazette As I look from my window, I see three covered wagons going east. Some days I see ten or more all going east. Some are leaving our own county. Many are leaving the north part of the county, I am told. It has been a question as to whether they are doing that which is best for them.

I think that it would be best in the end for the majority of them to remain. I know that many of them bave worked hard, have been frugal, have been honest, and are still the same honest people they have always been. But the best meaning folks do not always do that which is best, and I think too many of our settlers are now leaving without first considering well what it is they are doing. Many of you have farms, and good ones, that have made you a good living and money besides, until the last two seasons, yet, you are leaving, pellmcll, selling this and that for just what you can get. You eeeni determined to get away at any Qogt.

You eaerilioo even that which you have, when by a little sober reflection you could see your way through. It may cause some annoyiDg inconveniences and sacrifices on your part, and for the time being, almost insurmountable, but in the end you will be winner, and your condition will bo tho equal of tho bee( of them that leave and go east into the crowded country and cities, seeking to better their condition. Mark my words, the half of them will not succeed or find any better, or as good a home as the ono they left in Kansas, and in loss than two year many will only be too glad to return, and admire you for your pluck, energy and Btaying qualities. It is going to cost something to go away, and more than you think it will. Many of you have no definite pojnt in view, pp.

to go into when you get to your journey's end. Yoa hear through a paper or some friend that the crops in their locality this year are good, and the friend tells you that were he in your position he would leave, let it cost what it may, and go back where you, were born. lie doesn't think, nor do you, that it will cost as much to take the DRUGS AETD MEDIGIWKS.
