The persistent cold weather of a week or ten days past has made the ice ot a good, thick quality. We believe that the Granges have now elected their officers for the ensu ing year, and if the secretaries will send iii the names we will correct our list. The public school commenced again last Monday, after a vacation of two weeks. Miss Emma Toner Las been employed to take the place of Miss Scott, who takes charge of a school of one at Severance. Robert Tracy, treasurer of Doni phan down to Topeka last week, and turned over to the State treasurer the sum of $12,285.70, taxes collected for State and.

State school funds. P. H. Tiernan, the Democrat who does the state binding for the Repub lican state printer, about which there is howling in some quarters, has our thanks for a splendid calendar for 1875. Tiernan, democrat or not, has gotten up a nice calendar and he does excellent work in binding too.

Printing. We have just received a stock of fiat papers, letter and bill envelopes, cards, card board, book and pamphlet paper, and can on short notice do any printing that may be called for. Our prices are reasonable, in fact, low, and we guarantee our work satisfactory or tiochargewill.be made. Give us a call and a trial. 7tf The game business of this state is one of considerable dimensions.

In a number of places there are persons who are following the hunting, purchase and shipping of rabbits, quails, chickens, geese, turkeys, as a business. From Fort Scott alone worth have been shipped this year. Nor is Troy without representation in this branch of business. Mr. Byers and his son for two or three years have engaged each winter season therein, and have created thereby a market for geese, chickens, turkeys, They ship to eastern cities.

August Flower. The most miserable beings in the world are those suffering from Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint. More than seventy-five per cent of the people iu the United States are afflicted with these two diseases and their effect such as sour stomach, sick headache, habitual costiveness, impure blood, heartburn, waterbrash. gnawing and burning pains at the pit of tUe stomach, yellow skin, coated tongue and disagreeable taste in the mouth, coming up of the food after eating, low spirits, Go to the Drug Store of W. P.

Russell, Troy, Kansas, and get a 75 cent bottle, or a sample bottle for 10 cents. Try it. 6yl Severance, Jan. 2, 1875. The Severance Grange met here in open session to-day to install their officers.

They had a fair turn out, considering the holiday festivals, and an interesting time. After the installation, a relief committee was appointed, consisting of Geo. Bird, Fred. Harp-ster and Aaron Long. The Grange has taken a big job on their shoulders in the relief matter, but from they have done we believe there will be more effectual aid rendered in that than in any or all other ways.

Grange adjourned to meet again on Saturday the 16th, at one o'clock. I am authorized to say that the farming imple ment question will be called up then, and a full attendance is earnestly re quested. W. D. RIPPEY.

A New Firm. Mr. John Guider, of St. Joe, has bought out Mr. Marcum's blacksmithing business here, and himself and Henry Kauts haveassoci ated themselves together to carry on a blacksmith and wagon shop.

That they will do a good business, and do all work riven to them in first class style we haven't any doubt, for Mr Guider has been foreman for some years past of the Studebaker wagon shop, blacksmithing department, in Rt. Joe, and comes well recommended as a man who knows his business; while Mr. Kauts is known here as a eood and prompt workmen. Farmers can now have their wagons and farm implements made or repaired in a good manner, and have all the work, wood and iron, don'e by the same firm and under one contract. Their only speciality is good work and reasonable charges, and they respectfully ask a trial.

Ladies, Attention. Fashions in the very latest Paris, Berlin, and Vienna styles, adapted to the requirements of the most fastidious, are now placed within easy reach of all through the medium of "Smiths' Illustrated Pattern Bazaar," which is constantly importing new foreign designs, and supplying them each with a neatly made cloth model, showing how the garment is made, and enabling any lady to complete her wardrobe without other aid. TheuBazaar" is published in elegant form, every issue containing numerous well fashion illustrations. Subscription price only $1.10 peryear.and no postage to pay. For premium, every subscriber receives, free, at their option, $1.00 worth of patterns, or the choice of one from among a number of good chromos.

Secure the golden chance to save dressmakers' bills by sending your yearly subscription for this work to A. Btjkdette Smith, 914 Broadway, N. P. O. Box 5055.

Km gains At the 5Tcv York. Store. Mr. Silverman, of the New York Store, is now carrying one of the largest stocks of goods ever opened in Doniphan County, and is selling very ar-licle at the very lowest figures. In fact, he says, he will not be undersold, and asks all those in waut of goods to give him trial and be convinced.

On looking through his store, wo find thin his stock is indeed large and complete consisting of Dry of all kinds Boots ami Shoes, Hats and Cups, No MoiiH, of all sorts, Ready-made Cloth jtig, A man who oes then will find what he wants, at prices suit these contracted times. Mr. Silverman lias been in busines here some two or three yenrs, and his trade has been constantly growing and he has as constantly been increasing his stock to keep up with the demand. He attends strictly to his business and trade, and therefore understands the wants of his customers. Just go and see.

Severance Items. Scarcely any grain in the grain houses here. There is scarcely any sickness through this section. J. C.

Vanhorn wishes 100,000 chickens. Good thing for the farmers. We are now without any Sunday school something that is needed here. Sunday last we were visited with a cold north wind and some more snow. Winter has set in.

Those owning ice houses here have commenced filling them. The ice is good, being some 15 inches thick. We have been having extremely cold weather since the holidays, but business has been quite lively here. -One of our most obliging salesman here spent the holidays in Belmont. The result of his visit we will note soon.

-Jas. A. Campbell has now settled down for good. He and his young bride commenced keeping house Mon day last. W.

H. H. Curtis retired from the pine lumber yard Monday last, but will still deal in native lumber at his old lumber yard. There will be several changes here in business places on or about the 10th of this month. We will keep track of the same and make due re ports.

Frank Case oui accommodating harness boy, has purchased the stock of harness owned by John Hagg, and will conduct the business himself at the old stand. -Chas. Devine called on your local during the holidays. Charley is a live ly and wide-awake man, and says that is not out of the way to have a jolly good time once a year. The Grange met in Rippey Hall Saturday last, the object being to install new officers for the ensuing year, There was a large gathering, and con siderable interest was taketi.

D. W. Morse has a card posted up notifying all that 30 days is the limit ed time for the payment of accounts made this year. Thirty days we don't think is any time, but we of course are not included. Now that the holidays have pass ed and we have witnessed the coming of a new year, let us be thankful for the past and hope for a bright future.

Our business men have been blessed with a bountiful trade and acknowl edge themselves satisfied, and will, in addition to the large stock of material that they have been carrying, make large, very large additions for the coming trade of 1875. For two years past Mr. T. H. Glenn, editor-in-chief of Our Fireside Friend a journalist of long experience and extensive general information has been engaged on and has completed a book of great interest and value, entitled The Home Guide.

As its name indicates, it is intended as a guide in all matters pertaining to the Home, and as it is one of the most complete and valuable books ever published, it must have a very large sale. We shall have more to say of this important and useful book at another time. It is sold only by agents, and is published by The Beverly Company, Chicago. An advertisement of The Home Guide will be found in another column of this issue. The Good Templars had a very pleasant time at their Lodge room last Friday evening.

After the business of the Dodge had been transacted, the doors were thrown open and triendw invited in, to ptrtake of cake, coffee and lemonade, listen to mu-i- and select reading, and have a good time generally. It is almost needless to say i he evening was spent most pIoiiH-m Mv I' is to repeat this once every month. The interest in the Dodge is increasing, and many of our best ladies and gentlemen, not now members, propose soon to join the order. Mr. John Tracy, county relief agent, reports that he has forwarded to the State agent, at Topeka, the following contributions from the people of this county: 17,129 pounds of flour; 1,600 pounds corn meal 1,000 pounds of pork, and five boxes of clothing.

All this makes a total value of near $600. The St. Joseph Herald has issued a neat and beautiful illustrated Almanac for 1875, as a gift to its patrons. The Herald is not only by far the best paper now or ever published in St. Joe, but it is one of the best in the west.

Ic is newsy, well printed, and in every way readable. Nat. Bailey has been appointed City Marshal in place of A. W. Newton, who resigned, and is making the minors toe the mark" in accordance with the ordinance forbidding them to loaf In thw saloons.

He has also jerked up some parties for selling liq uor in violation oi ordinance. The money order business at the Troy postofflce is on the increase. In 1873 only about 700 orders were issued last year 1006 were issued. Ed. Case, who formerly kept store here, has returned and gone into partnership with Joe.

Craney. Burkhalter has got into his new building with his meat shop. Pevcrarice is some 25 miles west of St. Joseph, on the tk. Joe D.

C. R. and about 17 miles from Atchison, north. A more eligible location, situated as it is iu the hsnrt of a country that is unsurpassed in fertility, would bo hard to find. This place is about Ave j'ears old, and derived its nam from Col.

John Severance, of St. Joe, ne of the townsite- owners. From er infancy, up to almost the present ime, she ha3 had obstacles to contend i tli from very near one eim of the ine to the other, and the writar, numbered among one of the first settlers, ritching 'his little shantyj scarcely Knowing where how the lots run, anxiously watched the movements and progress of what is now a rapidly growing and thriving town, peopled with an intelligent class of people. This place is unlike the most of towns that have sprung up in this state and prospered from the beginning, having no drawbacks and nothing to contend against the prospects were bright and beautiful and all seemed to be life and activity, and are prosperous and thriving towns. Severance has had all to contend against, and has fought the battle through, and now has a bright prospect ahead.

Among the first that pitched tents here in the lumber, business was W. II. H. Curtis. Mr Curtis is one of those go-ahead kind of men, thorough ly understanding the ground that he had pre-empted and feeling that this part of the county needed him, he went to work and built up what is now a No.

1 lumberyard. TheCamp-bell Bros, followed next in the drug business. Their long experience in that line soon built them up a good trade, and they have since vastly increased the improvements in this place. Jas. A.

Campbell having himself a fine business house erected, and is conducting a first class drug store carrying a stock of some $5,000 to $6,000. A. S. Campbell has a nice drug store and building, and has made other improvements that is creditable to new comers in a strange land, as it was when they first came. Dr.

S. Nesbit came in next in 1871 but knowing that he was in the right lo canty, went to work and assisted in improving the place invested capital and put his shoulder to the wheel Soon then came in D. W. Morse, now numbered among one of our largest merchants, to help build up the little town. Mr.

Morse has used capital and influence in the iuterest of Severance, and we fail to see wherein he will ev er regret it. Then Jno. T. Kirwan, seeing that this was bis point, pitched his tent here, has met with success and is numbered along with the big mer chants of this place. Mr.

Kirwan carries a stock of about $7,000. Wm Ward was the next to come in. He deals largely in the grain business, and is also one or our promising mer chants. This place, as we stated above, has a class of people that will go ahead and improve a town. The time seems short to us when there was but three or four small buildings, no depot, and but little inducement for business men to invest here.

But the place has overcome all drawbacks, and is rapid ly growing. C. C. Clonch, the origin al owner of the townsite, has done much to increase the population by donating lot after lot, the result ol which is that we now have some fine buildings, good churches, halls, school building, business houses of almost all kinds, a good hotel, The pros pects ahead are bright as could be wished for. Capt.

Clonch also is in the mercan tile business, and is doing well. J. Baird, John Hagg, H. M.Holmes, and number of business men are prospering in their different lines of busi ness. We have a shoe shop, harness shop, blacksmith shops, tin and hardware establishment, grain houses, doctors, dress making, and in fact all that a town needs to prosper well.

We could say a great deal more in the interest of the citizens here, but will stop. J.J. G. Leoua Items. Joe Parker is the lucky man a nine pound boy.

Weather very cold. Monday morn ing sixteen degrees below zero. Mr. George Strahan was here and is going to do some carpenter work. lie comes well recommended.

Hope he may stay all summer. The other evening, while tho extra was going by at the rate of 20 miles per hour, a car jumped the track about twenty rods from the bridge. The trucks ran close to the rail au i safely crossed the bridge without do ing any serious damage. I am indebted to Mr. Mailler, the agent, for the amount of freight ship-pad from this point last month, viz 277,050 pounds.

Earnings to the com pany for the month, about $600. We have hung up the flag and be come a full station. There is to be a gran.d ball atLeves- ly Hall some night next week. We are glad they were not success ful in getting a license last Monday for a saloon in our burg. We understand a farmer south of here is fattening his cattle and hogs on straw.

He has less to feed every day that is of cattle and hogs. Rumors of an elopement yesterday. Particulars next week. PETE. See ptospectus, in another column, of In Door and Out, a new illustrated literary and family monthly.

Bob Tracy has sold his interest in the grocery house of Craig, Hotter of St. Joseph. There are 1,300 Granges in Kansas, and a membership of nearly 40,000. The State Legislature convenes next Monday. MARRIED.
