F. SCOTT. PAPER OP THE COUNTY SUBSCRIPTION One year (32 numbers) In advance. l.M) jc rear (32 nnmberi) if not In advance. 2.00 Six months, In Ihree months, 50 cents.

Single copy 5 cents. The letter from Hon. 8. R. Petere, published this week, announcing that he will not be a candidate for re-election to Congress next fall, Is not a but-piiee to his friends, although It will be received with universal regret.

The reason given for this Btep, and we happen to know personally that it is the real and only reason, is that the salary of the office is not sufficient to meet the expenses. For the past three years, Mr. Peters BayB, his necessary expenses have exceeded his income and he finds himself obliged to give up the office and devote his remaining years to earning a living for his family. His retirement will be a severe loss, not only to the Seventh District, which he has served long and faithfully, but to the entire State which hiB ability, industry and high character have honored. LET US 00 TO W0BK.

It stands written in the Scriptures: There is a time for all things. That means there is a time to talk and a time to quit talking and work. We have had our turn nt the talk, hera in Kansas. We have expressed our npin-iun with considerable freedom of the Beef Combine which puts down and keeps down the price of cattle and hogs. We have stated our views about the policy of the railroad companies in taking the lion's share of the profits on the corn and wheat they carry to market.

We have intimated our disapproval of the currency contraction wiiich has had Its share in depressing prices all around. And we have given Congress very plainly to understand what wo expect it to do in the premises. And now, men and brethren, let us quit talking awhile aud go to work. The immigration convention which has been in session at Wichita this week is a step in the right direction, There aie a million and a half of people in Kansas. Nobody would be crowded if there were three millions.

Here in Allen county we have a little over 14,000. There is room for 30,000. Suppose the additional 16,000 could be induced to come here this year: Wouldn't it make times lively? What would we care for beef combines or greedy railroads or a contracted cur rency if three thousand new families should come in here with money to pay for all the land there was to sell, money to pay for feed and provisions till they could raise a crop, money to pay for lumber to erect houses aud barns aud fences and labor to build them? And why shouldn't they come here? Quality and easy access to market considered land is cheaper in Allen county than in any other county in Kansas. We have railroads and schools and churches and good society. Let us make these things known to the home-seekers.

Kansas used to be in the immigration business from one year's end to another. Let us resume the business at the old stand. There are still plenty of people In the older States who want to "go West," and Kansas has more attractions to offer them now than she ever had. Let the latch string be hung on the outside. While this immigration work promises the quickest returns there are a good many other things we might turn our attention to, botli in our collective and in our individual capacity.

Collectively, it is time we were beginning to realize that communities as well as individuals may buy too many whistles and pay too much for them. A great many of our public Investments have doubtless paid well, aud were wisely made. But too many Kansas communities have been in the habit of voting bonds to tie a tin can to the tail of every stray dog that came around. It furnishes a little diversion and excitement at the time, doubtless, hut when the day of reckoning comes there is nothing to laugh about. Individually, it is time we were getting our business down to business principles.

Not in farming alone, but in every other business, we have acted long enough on the theory that all Kansas needed to laugh with a harvest wa's to be tickled with a hoe. It was a pleasing fancy, but it hasn't panned out as a cold fact, Business success in Kansas means what business success elsewhere means, and that is prudence, economy, good management and hard work. We should be satisfied with the Inppy assurance that the converse of tins proposition is also true, that prudence, good management and bard work always mean business success in Kansas. Congress can help us very materially if it does its duty and we hope and believe it will. But alter all mere legislation cannot do everything.

No JJcil-cnnctcd can help us half so much as we can help ourselves. Let us go to work. ATJCnOKZEB. George Rhoades, 5 miles south of La-Harpe (P. O.

Each has performed the duties of his office honestly, capably and courteously, and in their returnB to private life they all bear with them, we are sure, the thorough respect and the hearty good will of all the people, who will wish that their lines may fall in pleasant The incoming official are M. Eckley, L. Hobart, J. F. Nigh, G.

De-witt, W. II. McDowell and D. R. Inge.

With the exception of Capt. DeWilt, who has already given many years of faithful service to an office that costs its incumbent more than it pays him, all of these gentlemen enter upon the discharge of the duties of their respective offices without previous experience. They may be encouraged, however, by the assurance that they hive the entire confidence aud good will of Unpeople whoso business they are to transact. Allen county has never yet suffered humiliation or loss by the misconduct or dishonesty of any of her public servants, and the people have every confidence that this enviable record will not be broken by the act of any one of the officials who took the oath of office last Monday.

(6-10) Dress the Hair With Ayer's Hair Vigor. Its cleanliness, beneficial effects on the scalp, and lasting perfume commend it for toilet use. It keeps the hair soft and silken, preserves its color, pre vents it from falling, and, if the hair lias become weak or thin, promotes a new growth. "To restore tho original color of mj hair, which had turned prematurely gray, I used Ayer's Hair Vigor with entire success. I cheerfully testify to tho Efficacy of this preparation." Mrs.

P. H. Davidson, Alexandria, La. I was afflicted somo three years with scalp disease. My hair was falling ont and what remained turned gray.

I was induced to try Ayer's Ilair Vigor, and in a few weeks the disease in iny scalp disappeared and my hair resumed its original color." (Rev.) S. S. Sims, Pastor U. B. Church, St.

Bernice, Ind. A few years ago I suffered the entire loss ot iny hair from tho effects of tetter. I hoped that after a time nature would repair the loss, but I waited in vain. Many ruindics were suggested, none, howeviT, with such proof of merit ai Ayer's Hair Vigor, and I began to use it. The result was all I could liave desired.

A growth of hair soon came out all over my head, and grew to bo as soft anil heavy as 1 ever had, and of a natural color, ami firmly If. Pratt, SpofTord, Texas. Ayer's Hair Vigor, PRKPABED BT Dr. J. C.
