The land lord and tenant war in Virginia has abated and the turkey revolution is spreading. Parktown has been attacked and the christians | persecuted. Joe Wolfe is proud of the pony his grandpa Wolfe gave him last week. | Fred Braytom reports seeing Dick Holloway, of Blue Mound, Kansas, in Butler last week. He was on his way home from Kansas City where he had taken Mrs. Holloway to have a surgical operation performed. They took an 18 pound tumor from her and when he left she was doing as well as could be expected. Mr. and Mrs. Holloway are well known by many. people in Charlotte township as they lived here for many years and all will be glad to hear of her speedy recovery to health. The other day John Kelly got to husking corn so fast that he caught the palm of his hand with his corn hook. It came very near making a very sore hand. Miss Icy Jenkins, of Kansas City, came Saturday to visit her mother until Tuesday when she will return to Kansas City. M. H. Minen was to commence | painting Mr. Alben’s house Monday. Joe.

M. Drysdale and Son opened | their new store at Amoret Monday of | this week. They extend a cordial in- vitation to all who come to Amoret to D. C. Wolfe took two loads of fat | | hogs to Amoret Tuesday. Tuesday morning Marion Hedger reported that as far as he knew every body in his locality is enjoying life. The big rain Monday night made stock water plentiful. Dr. Pierce, of Kansas City, assisted by Dr. Lockwood and Dr. Smith per- formed a surgical operation on Mrs. Oliver Stanfield at her home Friday of last week. They removed three Fybroid tumors. She stood the operation and Tuesday morning was still doing well. A trained nurse from Kansas City is taking care of her. Miss Edith Lockwood, W. W. Rubel, Miss Myrtle Johnson and J. I.

How about the father that has growing children and has been vot- ing with a party fora long time that makes laws to keep saloons running | and has ambitions like Mr. Flanagan. We believe he too will drop the ) game and quit the saloon business. Mrs. T. B. Noland, of Eldorado Springs, Mo., came Saturday to visit | her old neighbors for a few days. She says Eldorado is a nice town to live in and lots of Bates county peo- ple come there for health. Misses Ida Smizer, Bonnie Wolfe, Merle Hensley, Geneva Draper, Jas. Cuzic and wife, Jas. and Geo.

Plenty of rain in these parts just | now, and matters not how long it has | | been dry, nor how bad rain is need- jed, we are never —. pare it jcomes. There is always undone, which needs to ve donee fore the rain. This is especially true when the men folks are afflicted and not able to do much. We were at Sprague and saw quite a number delivering hogs. Mostevery one sold too soon, of course. The farmers, especially those who need the worst are the ones that caught, if they sell, then the price goes up, but if they hold, the pricegoesdown. Hence they are caught both going and com- ing. Some one is ready to say that hogs are awful high, and that is true. But they are not high, considering the price feed has been for the past three years. We have known hogs to sell for 10 cents per pound, when corn was not near so high as it has been for the past three years. Hogs sold for 8 cents per lb right here in Bates county during Cleveland’s first ad- ministration. We learn that Judge Armstrong’s sale went off well last Thursday, not- withstanding it was an unfavorable day. But the circumstances would have to be very unfavorable, when Cols. Welch and Robbins could not pull a sale through all right. Clarence Shannon came home from the northwest, helped the home folks shuck their corn, and then pulled for Iowa to shuck corn. Just why he left an all-winter’s job in the north- west and came home and then left so soon for other parts we are unable to say. Since the rains and everything wet and cane pummies are wet, soft, heavy and nice. Some of the neigh- bers are hauling the pummies to coy- er their shredded fodder ricks, hog pens and so forth and so on. Frank Morse shipped a 10 gallon can of sorghum to Will Miller in Elsworth county, Kan., sometime ago and has got word that it got there all right, and they are all living in sweet- ness out there, as he divided with some of his friends. The people out there are sociable and clever, and sorghum is sorghum. And that makes us think Mr. Bor- ron, of Rich Hill, bought 20 gallons of sorghum’‘of Allen Wright and ship+ ed the Homer township S. S. conven- tion at Amoret Sabbath afternoon.

Some woman out there wanted some sorghum real bad off sent to town for a quart, and it cost her 80 eents. How is that for high living? We saw Polk Taylor shucking corn. He just begun seeing it was Monday anda nice day. He returned from his touring in the wonderful north-|'' west, having seen so much fine im- provements and other grand things, | ing instead of going into his corn field he went to building an addition to his barn, painting and improving gener- ally. The rural mail carriers have had it lovely for a long time, but we sym- pathize with them now. We were told Ba other day ‘bya : to know, that there wan be another shaft put down soon at the New Home mine. a business location.
