The present term of the Dial. Court ban been adjourned oyer until next Monday. Mistletoe Bough and Jack the Giant at Drake's Hall, this evening. Let all attend. The partnership heretofore existing between Messrs.

T. H. Cricb-ton and J. D. Condemn an has been dissolved.

The wood work of the M. E. Ch arch has been repainted throughout, and the building now presents a neat appearance. The rumories ate mad because Gov. Anthony has commissioned a man at Florence notary public, named Drinkwater.

Our farmers are now in the midst of wheat harvest. The yield promises to be much better than wa anticipated some weeks ago. In the case of the state va Milton Engler, on a charge of murder, tried at this term of onr Din. court, the jury brought in a verdict of cot guilty. A high joint court with Justices Drake, Banoau and Doster was in session at Drake's Hall yesterday on the Davis burglary case.

Particulars next week. Mr. C. O. Williams has an office with Mr.

stairs, cor-) ner 4th and Maple. It has been whispered around the streets that he intends studying law. Owen Wimmer, the great wheat grower of Elm Grove township who was town Monday last tells ns that bis wheat promises better this season than any previous crop. Mr. J.

D. Conderman has removed his law office to the middle room over Mr. T. R. Cannon's store on the corner of 4th and Maple, where his many friends and legal advice seekers may find him ip the future.

We learn that the first camp of the Patriotic Order Sons of America in Kansas will be instituted shortly in Chetopa. It is purely an American organization devoted to the subject ot oivil and religious liberty. That remarkable personage, Jack the Giant Killer positively makes bis last appearance at Drake's Hall to night. His presence will be complimented by excellent music and the most delioious ice cream of the season will be served i(under the Mistletoe bough." We regret to learn of the death of the only son and youngest child of Mr. and Mrs.

Silver. The mem bers of the family have the sympathy of many friends in their be reavement. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. C. II.

Mo Creery on Wednesday ot last week Mr. C. O. Williams again got away with the boys at the shooting match Tuesdav last. Of course Charlie is a splendid shot, but that Remington gun we sold htm is what helped him in the business.

We have another gun or two of the same make cheap for cash. The Peabody Gazette says that A. II. McLean, of Harvey oounty, ban a farm 640 acies on which be baa six miles of hedge: 15,000 for est tree fifteen feet high: 25,000 peach trees, motiv bearing; and small fruits of all kindi, besides immense fields of wheat, corn and other cereals. Five years ago this land was raw prarie.

A Challenge. Mr. Editob I desire to make the following chal lenge to any drinking man in this community. I will sign a pledge to touch not, taste not, hauale not the unclean thing, whisky, the re attainder of my natural life, if any drinking man will sign a pledge to abstain for five years. W.

G. Baylor, Dell Z. Irwin and David Toll. who for several months past have been earning a precanou living by baintinr? in this vicinitv at bank rupt prices, stole a horse in the rl era nf f.hst Territnrv last week. Irwin took the horse to Coffeyville, old it and was arrested, hod Clift T)nt.

TT. S. Marshal, waa tel egraphed to and he arrested Tull, went to Coffeyville and got Irwin and lodged both In jail to await trial at t. amun. At ameetinsr of our leading citi zens it has been determined to put a free ferry over the Neosho river at this point as soon as possible.

Nearl sufficient monev baa been subscribed for this purpose, and the contraot for building the boat has been awarded to Mr. J. M. Ban- nan, the lowest bidder, the amount being $174. lie is to nave tne work done in ten days.

lne needr ereotion of a bridge is re ceiving the earnest attention of our citizens. A few days ago we received a letter from one of oar old sweet hearts" to whom we had tent an occasional copy of the Advancr. She still displays excellent taete and good judgment as when refoa ing to become our better half. In nroor or wnion we quote tne follow ing peat commendation of oar pa pen: "Of all the papers it has been our fortune to see, wa oan truthfully aav we have never louna one be fore that contained so much real in formation in so email a apace as Ihe Advance. to go west thu fall.

Messrs. Chas. Boothe and Bur roughs were visiting in onr neighbor hood last week. John Harlan, has sold his farm to Mr. W.

H. Rayburne of Ohio, and moved back to his former home in Missouri. Mr. R. intends to take possession of his place about the first of September.

"Brothers and sisters have I none, but this man father is my fathers son. What relation are they? (Whet stone.) Why Whetstone! dont' you know? they are father and son. That's to easy. Give us another. We were up to Columbus the first of last woek and found the city full of farmers.

Several from Neosho township had gone there to mill but were unable to get their- grinding on account of the mills being out of order. OSWRGO. Small pox dried up. The Ice men begin to uncover their frozen HO. Several dwellings were burglarized Sunday night.

Several poor creatures have been fined lately for drunkenness. Mr. McNeff has just finished a neat cut stone out cellar and ice house. Mr. Comins is building a neat tasty porch to his home near Cong.

Church Mr. Hope, popular clerk at Snei ders dry goods store, has returned from a visit to Mo. Common salt eaten abundantly should destroy all miasms particularly ague and pox. Great many places planted to trees have become almost a swamp. So much trees do to increase the moisture.

Several indigenous plan ts are culti vated in our garden and look pretty indeed. We like the Tradescantia Virginia. Let no one boast of a good training unless he can show a vaccine cicatrics on his arm and one from peach tree or hazel across the jacket. Dr. Belt is going to visit the mountains for his health.

We entertain an exalted opinion of Dr. B. and know of no pleasanter gentleman nor skill ful physician. Mr. Wells has an unknown peach tree that had ripe peaches on the last of May.

The fruit is 8 inches in circumference and is as beautiful as a Kansas maiden. We call the tree the Well's Seedling. HACKBERRY. Mr. Editor.

As you have no cor respondent from Hackberry, I will try and send you a few items. Harvest begun the first of this week. Strawberries all gone, but dewber ries ripening fast. Answer to whetstone's query A man and his ton. Miss Stern, of Indiana, is spending the summer with her cousin, Mrs.

Jackson. Some fields of torn very weedy. The farmers are very busy plowing trying to gel through before harvest. Ihe Union Sunday school pio mo has been postponed until after harvest on account of busy times and smallpox. Mr.

seems the happiest man living. We think some of his old bachelor neighbors would do well to follow his example. Mr. and Mrs. McUullough lost their little son, on Monday of last week.

It died with brain fever. The funeral services were held at the house, Rev. Walker officiating. We wonder if uncle Tim was still thinking of giving the School ma'am three forties of his land, and throwing in the other forty and himself when he got that bran new suit of clothes. Miss Laura Doyle of Oswego, has a singing class at the Lockard school house Tuesday and Friday evenings of each week, and at the Foland school house Wednesday and Saturday even ings.

She is a competent teacher and is doing a great amount ot good. Some friends stopping at Mr. Gos sards, have been very sick with the smallpox. They were exposed to it on the train, and after having reached Mr. Gossards were taken We have just learned that one of the men has died.

Petre. CHEROKEE. Mr. La wing and his mother each had a horse killed by lightning a few days ago. The late overflow did considerable damage to those that have farms on low ground.

S. J. Bar tie it's annual oyster supper for 1878 came on the night of the 17th inst. It rained most all night, but nevertheless there were upwards of two hundred at supper. The supper did not consist of soup only, but most anything in the line ot eatables you could thind of.

We understand that there were two nail kegs full of soup left, and other things in proportion. A man by the name of Herd living near Seneca, Missouri, got four or five hundred dollars of bis wife's money in to his possession then taking her sister and jumping three or four store bills, started we presume for Salt Lake, but unfortunately he did not get further than W. F. Mattoon's on Fly Creek where he was stopped on account of high water till he was overtaken and taken in out of the wet. Our young nonstable Mike Owens made the arrest, and the man swore he thought he was going to be shot, but II ike is not to be blamed, for self preservation is the first law of nature.

The man's name is Herd, and we advise him to study Kansas law before be come gio. for we still have a herd law, and he might have known if he turned himself loose over here somebody would take him up. his bed for several days. Mrs. A.

M. Belmont, from Ottum wa, Iowa, is visiting her daughter Mrs. U. O. Williams, ot this city.

Mrs. D. W. Eggers wh has been visiting friends in Texas for several weeks, returned a few days ago. Mr.

and will occupy the P. O. room upon bis return. Hon. Addison Eby, of Elizabeth- town, has been spending sev eral days visiting his cousin Mr.

R. G. Bishop and left a few days ago for home. He bad just returned from superintending an excursion from his neighborhood to Kinsley on the T. fc S.

F. railroad. Mr. Eby after looking around here for several days expressed himself as much better pleased with this coun try than western Kansas, and will make an effort soon to bring a party of home seekers to this point. We hope be will succeed.

He thinks of looating here himself ere many months. On Thursday last, incompliance with an urgent invitation, we attended a Union S. S. Pio Nic at Mc Kees grove on Snow creek some eighteen miles west of Chetopa. It being such a busy season the attendance was not as large as was expected, yet the occasion was none the less pleasant and interesting.

We met many of our old friends whose presence always gives qb joy, and although the ride was long and wearisome yet we felt richly repaid for our trip. Snow creek is one of. the delight ful neighborhoods of Labette county. Her citizens are far beyond the average in intelligence and re finement, as was plainly and un mistakably manifest in the appear ance of the people in attendance at the pic mc. We were so delighted with this trip and so handsomely treated that we will accept an in vitation out in that direotion every time we are so fortunate as to receive one.

Col, Baldwin who is making himself so useful in the Sunday School work in that neighborhood, has kindly furnished us a full report of the pic nio to which we refer for further particulars. JTeighborhooci Notes. KINGSTON. The pic nio was a success and en joyed by all. Mr.
