John Sands, of Cherokee township, was in town yesterday, and, for the first time, became a subscriber to the Journal. These old settlers were receiving other papers when the Journal was established, and some of -them have never changed untjj recently. Gradually, but surely, they aro coming to our list, and soon we hope to haye all of them on our books. It is to their interest, as well as to ours, that their local paper shall bo well patronized. Mr.

Sands came here July 4, 1869. Westralia was the Metropolis" then. It consisted, at that time, of 5 houses and 3 tents. The tents were saloons. Morehouse, and Songer kept boarding houses, Bruner had a drug store, and Howard -Mewhinney kept a general has witnessed all the changes since that tim.

Parker was kid out that fall," and Westrulm Coffeyville (Old Town) was laid out, and in the Autumn of Coffeyvillrt (New To.vn) knocked underpinning from under both Old Town and Parker. Now, Cli-more, Westralia an. i Parker are known no more forever. Col. Carpenter has not been in CofFerville for a week or ten days, and nothing is known here of the cause of his absence.

We don't want the Col. to fail in his rock business. The first Greenback meeting of the season at this place, was held, yesterday, in front ot Selby's furniture store. J. G.

Briley, was the principal speaker, and the audience was more remarkable for its respectability than for its size, consisting, as it did," of five Democrats, one Republican auc! one Greeri-backcr. The speech occupied about an hour, including interruptions and applause, and covered the whole country. The speech was well received, especially those portions which practically illustrated the sumptuary laws. Mr. Briley declares that he is not a candidate; but there is no telling what a day may brine: forth; and it need not purprise anybody if some ot the conventions of the next months should honor Cotfey-yille by selecting Mr.

Briley as one of its nominees. The. ways, of politics are unfathomable in advance of announcements. Don't forget Lung's new Furniture Store, where goods are sold away down. dl4tf Wanted.
