ELLI the dcamons of this country do next to defraud the government? We find on our table a copy of the Free at Decatur, Ala. It contains an article showing how three live citizens stepped forward and resussitated an almost dilapidated town and put it on the high road to progress and future greatness. Our citizens might learn a soluablc lesson by perusing it.

An exchange says that tho ladies of White Cloud have signed a pledge to abstain from the use of gum and slang, and not keep company with young men who use tobacco, strong drink or profanity. Jemima! wouldn't a move of that kind carried out in Liberty, work a revolution? Liberty Review. It not necessary for the young ladies of our noble little city to sign such a pledge, for it is well known that the young men here all abstain from the usage of slang, tobacco, strong drink and profanity. Where is there another town in Kansas that can boast of such a class of young men? Miss Clyde Vore, who has for two months or more been visiting relatives in this city, started on her return home to Bucyrus, Ohio, on Tuesday evening's train. Miss Vore, during her visit here, has proved to be a most estimable young lady, and all regret that she could not remain permanently with us.

One of our young gentlemen friends, especially, became so infatuated with the young lady, that it was indeed sorrowful to sec the deep melancholy which settled upon hinv as the hour of her departure drew near, lie accompanied here as far as Independence, and we will have to trust to our imagination for a portrayal of the sad parting at that place. All of Miss Clyde's friends unite in wishing her a safe return, and trust that at some future time she may conclude to favor them with a more extended visit. If she should postpone her second visit too long, we are afraid that we will lose one of our most worthy young men. KUTTER TIMES COMING. Corn and wheat arc advancing in price, and we have made reductions in all winter goods, and will sacrifice now rather than carry over stock.

You need the winter goods in the winter season. We want the money and will sell goods so low that you can afford to buy them. Drop in and get prices. J. A.

Curtis is paying $4.50 and $4. 7 5 for fat hogs. The wagon roads are in a very icy condition; thus it makes it very disagreeable for the farmers who have business to attend to in the city.

We hereby apoligizc to Miss Maggie Brown for omiting her name in givc-ing a list of those who constituted tho serenading party last week. Iler name was on the list, handed to us, but was in some manner overlooked when it was being put into type. The mistake was entirely unintentional and we deeply regret that it should have oceurcd.
