The tarm which is located within seven miles of Eu- teka, is said to be a magniticent body ot land, in a high state of cul- tivation and located in one of the best counties in Kansas. Mr. Wal- ton’s brother J. W., will take charge ot the ranch and operate it for him.

Bonham can congratulate himself on owning this handsome property inthe flourishing city ot Butler, Diep.—Miss Annie B. Thompson departed this hte im Washington county, lowa, Aug. 11, 1886, She had lett Butler with her mother, Mrs. D. N. Thompson and family, to spend a few weeks there during the heated term, but was taken sick shortly after her arrival. For awhile she seemed to improve but the seri- ous disease, peritonitis, carried her away at last. She was born twe miles south of this city July g, 1870. No mere promising young lady ever hved amongst us than Annie Kind, affable, studious, energetic. and guiacetul, she was beloved by a who knew her. A few ye she made profession of her faith Christ and her daily walk and co versation manifested the genuinen, of her piety. Her mind was cle until half an hour before her deati . and after taking farewell with he father, mother and friends, she tole them it was only a step to Jesus. A Presbyterian minister who was with her at last said that he never wit- nessed a more triumphant death-bed scene. Her reniains were brought bere cn last Friday and seryices of a touching and appropnate nature were held at the First Presbyterian, church, of which she was a member. Her pastor, Rev. Alex. Walkers, preached from the text: ‘Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God,’”’ He paid a just tribute to her memory, and was eyidently preaching under the mfluence ot a strong feeling of regard for the de- parted. The congregation and tu- neral procession were said to be the largest ever scen in the city of But- ler on a week day. In this way the people showed their deep sympathy for Mr. and Mrs. Thompson under their sad and unexpected bereave- ment. She hath gone in the spring time of life, Ere her sky hsd been dimned by a clond, while her heart with the sweetness of love was yet rife And the hopes of her youth were unbowed. From the loving who loved her so well; From the hearts that had grown to her own; From the sickness which late o’er her young spirit fell Like a dream of the night she hath flown, And the earth now receives to its bosom its trust, Ashes to ashes and dust unto dust.’* The Greenback party of this coun- ty in convention at the Grange hall Saturday put in nomination the fol- lowing ticket: J.
