The well is twenty-five feet deep, and there is over twenty feet of most excellent water in it. Mrs. Blanchard, daughter of General W. S. Sallyards, left on Wednesday for St.

Joe. Missouri, where she will probably remain all summer. She will be greatly missed in teece social circles. Mrs. and Miss Amelia Eauber, Of heRoy, Coffey county, mother aud sister of Mr.

Little Miss Maggie Gaffney, the youngest daughter of lfoadmaster John Gaffney, lias been visiting with friends in Recce all this week.

Miss Maggie did not attend the festival on account of the storm. Councilman Hubbard is building house to his addition recently erected on Campbell streetj south of the livery stable. When he built the addition he called it a house, but now he calls the addition the house, and the house the addition. Mrs. Jlandall and son arrived here ii Monday, and the family have moved into the douse belonging to Mr.

W. E. Beattie, recently vacated by Mr. Walsh and family. We hope the ladies of Beece will call on Mrs.

Randall find welcome her to her new home. G. R. Jones, a former resident of this county but now residing in Labette county, father of I). Jones, an employe in the locomotive department of the St.

The Poctor has recently returned from Eureka Arkansas, where he had been sojourn -tog for three or four months, and comes back so improved in physical condition that his best friends would scarcely know him. Dr. Marr is an experienced and successful physician; find, having disposed of his practice in Woodson county, he has some thoughts of locating here. We hope he will decide to remain with us. There have been several changes to the locomotive department of the Sunflower road this week.

Messrs. Dinmock, Dixon and O'Keefe, employes in the car shops threw up their situations on Monday, and will seek employment elsewhere. Dinmock and O'Keefe are good average machinists, nd Dixon has the reputation of being a very accomplished black-s-sn: th.

Quite a number of our most prom- inent citizens are talkina of Prof.

G. Ken-drick for the office ox' County Superintendent of public instruction. Our personal acquaintance and actual Knowledge ot him, strengtnens our belief in his abilitv to perform the duties of that office, and we would have no hesitancy in saying that 1'rof Kendrick would make an excellent flicer, besides we think it about time that Mad ison is being represented in the county official boara. We are not personally acquainted with 1'rof. Kendrick, but from lniormation tie rived from mutual acquaintances we believe him to be a gentleman well qualified for the po sition, and should our candidate, George Wash ington Smith, be so unfortunate as not to re ceive the nomination, (and should the Republican convention be so unfortunate as not to nom hi ate him), our second choice will be Georgi Vrashihstbtt Kendrick.

SATURDAY, JUNE '5, JIEJiOItlAL SEKVICJJS. TIih memorial services at the Presbyterian church of this city, last Sunday, Were of a very interesting and impressive character and were largely attended, the churcl being crowded to its utmost capacity, many being un able to obtain seats. The "Order of the Dav," a.s announced by Mayor D. 11. Mitchell, Officer ot tne oar, a fully carried out, and there was rot the least hitch in the programme from beginning to ending.

The church was tastefully ana appropriately decorated with flags; and on the platform, to the left of the Chaplain's desk, was an emblem atic tomb, draped in mourning and decorated with flags, on the front face of which was the following epitaph: "In memory of the Union's departed heroes." At 10 o'clock a. m. the veterans, to the num ber of fifteen, assembled at the-hall for the pur pose of arranging the flowers into suitable io-qiiets and to receive instructions from the Ofii cer of the Day. and at 10:15 the old boys formed into line 'and marched to the church. Forming in single line, across the west end of the church, they saluted the flag and, while the organist, Mrs.

Shoemaker, played a dead march, they marched up the right aisle and as they filed left each, with bowed head, deposited his floral offering upon the tomb. The choir, under the leadership of Mrs. Shoe maker, then sweetly sang the grand anthem, "Cast thy Burden on the Lord." A number of little Misses, representing the loyal states, then formed a circle around the tomb, when Miss Minnie Jones recited, the fol lowing touching little poem "Children bring the buds of Spring-time, Bring the fairest blooms of May, We will reverently lay them On the soldiers' graves to-day. That our dear land should be happy, And no man a slave she uld be. That is what these brave men died for; Gaye their lives for liberty.

Now for them there is no sorrow, Xow for them ail struggles cease, Xow for them all strife is ended, They have won a glorious peace. So with bright and cheerful faces, "We will go from grave to grave, On this day when all the Xation Loves to honor its dead brave. hile the starry flag they died for, Floats, entwined with olive branch, From the proudest Eastern city To the wildest Western ranch." At the conclusion of the poem the little girls each placed flowers on and around the tomb, saving in turn "I contribute my flowers to the memory of the brave boys in blue of Kansas, "of -Nebraska." "of Iowa." "of Missouri," "of Illinois," As the last of those rep the states took her seat Minnie Jones placed a reath of immortelles upon the tomb, saying, "And I contribute this wreath to the memory of all the brave soldiers not represented "Unfurl the Flag" was then sung by the choir, The calling of the roll by the Officer of the Day, the dead being responded for by the Adju tant, was one of the most impressive exercises of the programme. Following the calling of the roll was the singing of "America" by the choir. The sermon by Rev.

J. L. Byers was very interesting and instructive and was listened to with marked attention 'throughout. By many it was considered the ablest effort of his life. At the conclusion of the sermon the following poem, written by Mrs.

Em a Gard, of this city, was read by the Adjutant: Scatter white flowers for purity's sake, O'er the mound where the soldier is laid. From freshest May. flowers a garland e'll make, And place reverently o'er his body, decayed. Scatter red roses for dear love's sake, For 'twas love of his country that laid him so low. Love prompted his motives to the sacrifice make, And to leave his dear home for war's cruel w-oe.

Scatter blue flowers for the emblem of truth. He was true to his country and true to his God. Tread silently, softly, and disturb not his sleep. But reverence his ashes that lie the sod. Strew flowers profusely, the red, white and blue, For the dear flag's sake, that he fought for so brave.

To save our dear country he followed it thrpugh To victory. Then peace to his memory as he lies in his grave. The soldiers are under great obligations to those ladies and gentlemen who so kindly assisted in making the exercises of the day a success, especially to those assisting in the choir, and to Mrs, Harkness who trained and assisted the young ladies representing the States in their exercises. J.na anove an tney wisn xo express their gratitude to the following named voting misses and lads who so thoughtfully provided flowers for the occasion Addie Wright, Grace Clark, Grace Gard, Xathan Bell, Willie Jones, Edna Trout, Johnny Klein, Minnie Lipscomb, Maggie Thomas, Lizzie Thomas, Lela Harkness, Laura Culler, Matie Xeal, Gertie Gard, Howard Gard, Alice Jones, Harry Mitchell, Jimmie Trout, May Whitescarver, Lela Whitescarver, Dellie Honneger, Katie Thomas, Myrtle Harkness, Mary Culler. 15y advertisement in another place in this paper it will be seen that Judge W.

S. Daugherty has again assumed control of the Daugherty Hotel, on Whitaker Avenue, near the Presbyterian church. As we have said before, Judge and Mrs. Daugherty have had large experience in the hotel business, and under their former management there was ho more popular hotel in Greenwood county, among' the railroad "boys" and traveling men, than the Daugherty. The house has been thoroughly renovated and refurnished, is located in one of the most desirable, pleasant, airy parts of the city, free from noise and smoke, the table is always supplied with the best the market affords, and a good sidewalk will soon be completed from the hotel to the depot and to all the leading business houses.

The ice-cream and strawberry fes tival at the hall, on Tuesday evening, was not as much of a success, financially, as had been hope fully anticipated, not, however, on account of lack of interest and willingness on the part of the people of Reece. The object of the festival was to raise funds to assist to buying an organ for the First Presbyterion church of this city, and all of our oeoule. irreepective ot religious denomination, were willing and ready to con tribute their mite to the success of the enter prise. But the Fates of the weather were not l-ironitious. Men and women, and girls and boys had been busy all for the oc casion and all was in readiness for the feast.

All over town, old men and women, young women and their sweethearts, and all the little girls and boys had donned their holiday attire and were eagerly awaiting the appointed hour, when lo! in the south, a black cloud, much larger than a man's hand appeared, and the affrighted populace sought cellars, cyclone holes and other places of supposed safety. All thoughts of the festival were lost in the thoughts of personal security. The threatened violent storm proved to be a very mild one; the ugly black clouds dispersed almost as quickly as they had formed and the rain descended gently, unaccompanied by any wind. The scare, though, had come at an inopportune time, and the number of those attending the festival was very small in comparison with those who stayed at home. The net proceeds of the evening was $11.00.

As is usually the custom on similar occasions, the family were enticed to other quarters until their friends could get possession of the premises and perfect their arrangements for a grand supper which had been especially prepared for the evening.

There is plentv of room, and all can make a good living who see fit to cast their lot in this section. The face of the country is gertly roiling, and is watered by unfailing springs of the purest and best soft water. Stock raising of all kinds is carried on along the line of this new road. Cattle are found to do well here on grass alone from about A pril to Xovember, from which to Christmas but a small amount of feed is reo, nired.

Corn is grown in the greatest abundance, and stockmen who depend upon buying their winter's ieed generally buy in the field at a living price. Xot onlv do our fanners furnish the corn for the home "herds, but hundreds of her.d of cattle are driven to and fed every winter along the new This portion of the country cannot be excelled as a stock raising and stock" feeding country in the West, and that is sufficient. There are still thousands of acres adapted to ranch purposes to be had cheap along the line of the St. Louis Ft. Scott and Wichita Bialroad.

Anthony is now the nearest point to good government lands at one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre, and our extension now- beins made West will soon open a new territory of good and cheap land in the counties of Barton, Comanche, Clark and Pratt.

A country of peerless grasses, splendid grain fruit orchards, noble herds, inviting homes and prosperous and growing towns. From Ft.

Year after vear the fields spread out wider until settlement meets settlement, and the old primeval things have vanished away.

Painted houses, flocks and herds feeding in rich pastures are evervwhere seen. As it has been elsewhere, so will it one day be here. These streams that have rolled during the long forever of the past in untrainmeled freedom, roaring and surging in the spring and autumn freshets, and flowing pleasantlv and quietlv in the summer months, will be harnessed into the service of man. be chained to the revolving wdieel and made to grind or throw the shuttle and spin. Farms will be spread out in these vallevs.
