This town for several years after the building of the Central Branch railroad from Watervllle to Washington was slniply a name of what might be called a town, and a little store and postofllce located between the railroad and the cold side of a large farm.

Mr. A. Ballard was the merchant and postmaster in question, and also had charge of the railroad interests there. Barnes lies about half way between Greeuleaf and Watervllle, and on a beautiful slope just north of little Coon Creek, the levelness of Its streets would be iuviting to the cable street railway enterprise. Many people wonder why Barnes has taken such a wonderful start, and what is the cause of a boom there.

There is no new railroad, no gold mine or mineral springs discovered, but simply a plain quarter section of Kansas sod fast being covered with houses. The cause as near as we were able to find out by talking with Mr. Ober, Mr. Felt and others are these: It the tirst place. Barnes is in Washington county, which is enough to say, her surrounding country Is the best.

In addition to her splendid agricultural advantages, Barnes is represented by genuine business men, who encourage every enterprise beneficial to the town. When a stranger comes to Barnes, he needs no introduction, but is immediately taken by the arm and shown everything. to be seen. The first man we met on the arrival of the train, was Mr. Ober the enterprising general merchant.

Mr. Ober was very busy as usual but stole awav from his work long enough to give us a history of Barnes and the peoplo which was of a vcrv flattery nature. In addition to the general' store, Mr. Ober is also proprietor of the hotel and lias a house full of boarders, lie is building alurgestore building adjoining the old one, and after it is Completed will use it for his stote room and postofllce, and use the old building for additional room to his hotel. The next man we met was J.

P. Martin, one of the enterprising Martin Bros, who have the reputation of paying higher prices and handling more corn than any other one linn in this part of the county. The Martin Bros, also deal quite extensively in rloal, and are just now receiving a largo stock of implements which" they will be equally as enerjetlc in selling as they are in btiv-ing grain. The brothers have taken in as lush as 150 loads of corn in one day. Iitthrop and Ober is the other grain t)rm.

who make it very interesting for the Martin Bros, in grain deals, and it is believed are equally as enterprising. It. Bloom field was the next gentle man we had the pleasure of calling on. Mr. Bloomlield is just placing on his shelves a complete stock of hardware, which is a great improvement to Barnes as hardware is necessary where so much building is going on; We next called on Messrs, Harden and Lnnge, tho principal contracting and building firm.

Mr. Lunge. Informed us that they have erected over twenty houses tnere during the last live months and have contracts for the Ober building, a resilience for James Thompson, a residence for Mrs. Bee ver, a residence for Mr. Peterson, and a county bridge, and have Just completed the new livery bam for C.

II. Bruce. As there nre no street railways there yet, we walked ever to Itailroadavenue, and inspected the elegant store building just completed by W. E. Stone, late of Elllngbam.

Mr. Stone, has a large stock of hardware and groceries ordered which he expects to open up in about a week. Mr. E. K.

Felt was next interviewed, the enterprising lumberman. Mr. Felt, camo here last November, iind bought out II. Hergerty Barnes, first lumberman. Mr.

Felt is a very clever gentleman, and has worked up a tremendious trade in the lumber business, and through his energry much of the credit for the present boom is due him. The jolly blacksmith. J. A. Ream has erected a new shop, supplied it with tools, and is crowded with work.

Mr. Ileum has the name or ueing one or tne best blacksmiths in this part of the btate: heneo the rush of work is not strange. Fanners come ten and twelve miles to -have Mr. llcam sharpen a plow. Another very important feature to Barnes is the new livery barn just completed and supplied with good rigs by 0.

II. Bruce; The traveling public will nlease take notice that they can be ac commodated. Thero has been eighteen new build ings put hp here in the last two months, and the contracts are let for at least fifteen more. We understand the eontaract has been let for a city hall.with a large store room below to be built by Messrs. nogue ana iiazen.

Some opponent of Maine, searching for omens, announces the important "historical fact" that a Speaker of the llouse was never elected to the Presidency, which is supposed to finish Ulaine. We were always under the impression that l'olk had been Speaker of the llouse; and, If it will make the omeunioro cnilnoils, we will add, that his inune was James. Troy Chief. 4 Maine has long had a prohibitory law oil Its statute books, but the measure has never been engrafted in its constitution. The last legislature submitted a prohibitory amendment, and it will be voted upon iiext fall.

There are many opponents of the measure, among them being Chief Justice Appleton, of the stato Supreme court. He has writ-tert a letter deprecating the feasibility of tho measure. "Uncle Sain," as a nickname for the United States, arose during the war of 1812 at Troy, N. V.

The Methodist Episcopal Cliurchjias a centennial of so mo importance to celebrate this year. On September 2. it will be one hundred years since John Wesley and other ministers Consecrated Thomas Coke bishop of North America, the largest dloceso ever presided over by the one bishop. Then there were 13,000 Methodists la the county; now there are several millions, and the church has the largest property valuation of any church organization in the United States. The famous corn train of 30 cars passed through Seymour Saturday morning.

L'vcry one of the cars was decorated tvitti the pictures of grasshoppers. On the top of the train and bearing the Inscription; "The pioneer settler of Kansas, now extinct," with "1871-iKSl," the dates of the two fearful calamities that befell the people of Kansas and of the Ohio Valley, aud "bread cast upon the waters," told a beautiful story of rharity. When in 1874 the grasshoppers had devoured the crops of that year, even to the blades and stocks, the Ohio Valley people sent the Kansas sufferers food and corn. Ten years later the Ohio -Valley Is deluged with water and thousands suffer, even to the verge of starvation, but they are not forgotten by those to whom they once generously gave. From the broad and now fair fields of the land that ten years before were black with desolation, romes the bread that was then cast upon the waters.

Oh. thou beloved Uwl. live forvrr, one and undivided? tation to deliver an oration on Deco ration Day at the Academy of Music in New York. The defeat for tho Speakership, or some other cause has taken all the fun out of Sunset Cox. He hasn't got oil a passable joke during this Congress.

"What is a dude, asked a countryman of a citizen. "A dude? Well, a dude is an American idiot ho tries to pass himself off as an English cockney." A good definition. Under the same roof in Wilcox County live the great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, daughter, granddaughter and great-granddaughter, and only' four persons in the household.

Murder is one of the safest crimes a man can commit, providing ho has money to employ the best legal talent. If there is not a change soon, lynching will become more common than ever. "No, don't go yet," said the Buffalo girl at midnight, as her loyer rose to leave. "Don't go yet, it isn't late. Remember that the clocks In the city have been shoved ahead sixteen minutes."

Wendell Phillips used to say of the tariff question: "The free traders have all the tlieories and the protectionists have all the facts." The people who talk about free trade nre dreaming theorists. Practical business men favor protection. "How did you come to get married?" asked a man of a very homely friend.

"Well, you see," he replied, "after I'd vainly tried to win several girls that I wanted, I finally turned my attention to one that wanted me, and then it didn't take long to arrange matters." The proposition to give the Southern Slates millions of money from the National treasury for educational purposes is met be reviling and abuse the Southern Senators, and it is about time for Northern Senators to drop the subject. It is now claimed that the Chineese discovered America in the fifth century. The aborigines did so little washing that laundry business didn't pay, so the Celestials pulled off until the situation improved, and after the Dem-octatic party went into minority the business has been exceptionally good. It may be an old story; at least, it is a long time in being told, and we should not like to vouch for it, coming as it does from a wicked paper in Chicago or rather from a paper published In wicked Chicago: "Some tonrists 'do1 a town in a day. Of this class were the Kansas editors, who went down to Chihuahua and camped with their wives and children on the plaza.

Thinking they were venturing among savages, they had rigged themselves out in their oldest cloths and brought rifles and revolvers along for protection.

He Must Have Shot a Nigger. A highly respected citizen was ar ranged before the court for shooting and killing a man. The evidence was direct, and after exhaustive arguments bad been made, the Judge said: "It is clearly proven that you are guilty, as charged by tho indictment." "Hut I protest my innocence," re plied the prisoner.

"The indictment reads that I did shoot and kill the gen tleman with powder and leaden bullet This is a mistake. I had no bulleta at the time, so I loaded my cun with pow der and a horseshoe nail." "That indeeds alters the case." said the Judge. The indictment said bullet when it should have said nail. You are discharged, sir." Fur nt Notes.

No fewer than 30,000 women make a living in Paris by the production of artificial flowers. The New England farmers are be ginning to complain loudly against the tariff on live animals. The United States raises double the number of sheep annually that it.
