A dinner, or more properly speaking, a Masonic Banquet, will be spread on tables on tbe lawn of William Smith's property on 9th street. Kxtensive preparations are being made for that portion of the programme of tbe day. A number of young people, on last Thurs day, were taken In conveyances out to Mr. William Maban's grounds for an even ing's enjoyment.

All the substantial and delicacies of the season will be served. A good meal can be had for 25 cents and a good cause helped at the same time. If any place in the United States can beat Southeastern Kansas for good crops, fine stock, lovely climate, soil rich in minerals and of the best productive quality, let that place come to the front now, or forever after bold ber peace.

We did not include our superb ladies in the above for they can not be equaled let alone being excelled. The Pratt Bridge Works are casting some fine lintels for the new building of A. P. Boswell Co. One of these lintels weighted about three hundred and fifty pounds.

All crops look better now tban tbey ever have before at this season of tbe year in Kansas. The outlook could not be better.

Our county now looks like a veritable Eden Land. Willie Palmer and John Elliott commenc ed at tbe bottom of the printing business last Monday a week ago, and the vigor with which they each hold down a set of primer cases, leads us to believe that tbe boys will make good compositors in due course tf time.

A real estate man told us last Saturday, that a case had come under his observation wherein a gentleman of considerable means, after spending some time in Coffeyville, bad concluded to invest in an adjoining town, for the reason, as be alleged, that our real estate owners were asking too much for their lots. This is a matter tbat should be guarded against, and we trust that there may not be another case of that kind occur. On last Thursday evening, the 16th inst.

As sucb, we want to importune the to to cease lrom tbe immoral tendencies and wicked habits tbat seem to be growing upon some of them. Sunday base ball playing is one of the things that they ought not to indulge in. It is demoralizing, wicked and in violation of the laws ot God an 1 of the State. We are not in favor of compelling men to do good, but upon complaint duly made by some person who is aggrieved and annoyed by this pernicious habit, a prosecution would follow tbat could not result in anything abort of a of the parties who have been defiantly setting a bad example to the young, and giving the town a bad name by tbeir conduct on the last two Sun days.

Hif remains were brought to Coffey ville by Friday evening's express over the Southern Kansas, and buried from the borne of bis parents on Saturday at ten o'clock, in tbe graveyard near Parker P. O.

Tbe loss of their son and brother is a severe stroke upon tbe parents and sister. They have the sympathy of all in their affliction. Colored Conflab Pic Nic and Gala Time. Last Saturday was a grand gala day to our colored population. The day was all that could be desired iu regard to beautiful weather and flue roads.

When the traiu arrived from Parsons, we began to see why all of our colored citizens were iu holiday attire. About three hundred of Parsons' best colored ladies and gentlemen had formed an excursion to Coffeyville for the purpose of seeing Coffeyville and having a regular old fashioned pic nic. The brethren here had secured Haggard's grove, and put up stands and seats therein ready for use wheu their visitors should arrive. Soon after the arrival of the train the picnic grounds were thronged with a good uatur-cd crowd aud about ten o'clock the speaking began. The editor of The Journal delivered a short address welcome iu few well chosen and appropriate seutauues.

Rev. S. U. Barker, pastor of the colored Methodist churcli iu Coffeyville, was the next to entertain the people. He spoke very fluently, and being a minister of more that ordinary ta lent among them, his words carried weight with them.

Tbe last orator was Mr. L. J. LeRoy, who gave a brief but correct comparison between the condition of the color ed race as it was iu I860 and as it is now iu 1887, aud it was plainly seen'oo the faces of the elders that a return to bondage is not desirable on their part. His address was given with deep feeling aud earnestness, and as his oratorical powers are better than the average, his delivery was a success and his audience was held spell bound for about half an hour.

The proceedings were Interspersed with excellent music by some of the ladies aud gentlemen from Parsons, some of whom were elegant singers and the choruses were certainly first-class iu every respect. Splendid repasts were served on the grounds and enjoyed iu the us ual manner. Stands were in all convenient places where any one so desiring could satisfy tiie cravings of the inner man in any legal way. The practice of the Terpsi- chorean art was indulged iu by a good many of the young folks, aud "all went merry as a marriage bell." No disturb ance took place at any time during the day, but all passed off pleasantly and in order. At about half past four o'clock the assetn blage broke up aud a rush took place for the Parsons and Pacific train and the tired and happy Parsomtes took tbeir departure amidst a waving of fans, hats, parasols and any thing else that came to hand.

The day ended as it began, pleasantly and cheerfully to all. Our colored brethren and sis ters proved themselves genial and obliging entertainers and it is to be hoped that we may have another visit from the Parsonites soon. Reporter. Orange Blossoms. As tbe Southern Kansas train rolled into the depot in this city on last Tuesday evening, a carriage drew up to the platform, and when tbe train stopped a lady and gentleman alighted, took their seats in the carriage and were driven to E.

M. Kane's elegant res idence on Walr.ut street. Tbe gentleman we recognized at once as Mr. Frank D. Benson, and the lady ployed to be Mrs.

Benson. Mr. Benson and Mist Gladys Funderburg were married on tbe 15th inst, at tbe. home of the bride's parents, in Westfield, Indiana. They left Westfield on the same day, for Chicago, where they remained several days after which they came on to Kansas City.

Arriving in Kansas City on Sunday morning, tbey spent the time until Tuesday morning, visiting places ot interest and amusement and enjoying the society of friends and acquaintances. On Tuesday morning they left Kansas City for this place, arriving at the time above mentioned. Mr. Benson purchased a bouse and lot some time ago, and has made all necessary improvements on them to make a cozy and attractive borne. Within a few days they will be established therein.

Oar good wishes for this estimable couple are too numerous to mention. Mr. Benson is a deserving, popular and honorable young man, and the lady he bas brought among us is affable, refided and in every respect, worthy of our deepest regards. We welcome them to a home in our midst we welcome them to an honorable place in society, and rejoice to bave them form an important link in our social circle. K.

June 17th, 18S7. or of The Journal Dear Sir and Brother: According to promise, I will send a short letter for the pleasure, if it may be such, of your readers. Leaving Coffeyville with my family, iu company with C. C. Levin and family, on the fourteenth of the present mouth, at o'clock, we made a pleasant run to Kansas City, where we arrived at about six o'clock iu the evening.

There wc left Mr. Levau, and tbe rest of us were soon on our way for Chicago by the C. B. Q. R.

R. We passed through tlie State of Missouri in the night time, so that I was unable to take any notes of interest. We reached the Missis sippi river at Quincy, Illinois, which we crossed just after daylight on Weduesday morning. Here we stopped for breakfast, that is, I mean those did who had none of their own. So far as our party was concerned, there need not liave been any such unnecessary delay.

From here wc sped on through Central Illinois at a wonderful rate, reaching Chicago at two o'clock iu the afternoon. There has been abundant rain all along tills rout, and as the result, there is promise of a great harvest of wheat, corn aud oats. Cora and wheat is not quite so forward as in Southern Kansas, but equally as promising, while oats are better. Arriv ing at Chicago, we took leave of Brother Clark and Sister Levau, and went at once to consult "Doctor Sykes' Sure Cure Company, "on account of Mrs. Dyke's Catarrhal ailment, A very thorough examination was made by a Mrs.

Dr. Jackson, who turns out to be the head of the establishment. We were well pleased with the character of the examination, and very much encouraged by the assurance given that we might expect a successful treatment. After ''taking in" Chicago, or being taken in by it, until Thursday evening at eight o'clock, we took the Lake Shore train for Cleveland, arriving here this morning, at eight o'clock, somewhat worse for wear, but iu good spirits. This has been a very- hot day, "the oldest inhabitants" say the hottest of the season.

As a result, showers are imminent this evening. We find ourselves here in the height of strawberry festivity. The berries are rolling into the market at two to three cents a quart. So we take our second dish with no compunction of conscience. More anon, L.

J. Dyke. Communicated. A Very Pleasant Occasion. One of tbe most agreeable occasions of the season took place at the residence of Col.

D. Stewart Elliott, on Tuesday evening, ot this week. It seems to have been a "set up job'' on tbe Colonel, and consisted of a surprise social by tbe pastor of the M. E. Courcb, bis family and the corps of officers and teachers of the Sunday School of bis church, of which Col.

Elliott is tbe efficient Superintendent, and was intended as an expression of tbe high esteem in which be is held by his co-lt-borers in the work of the school. It was just as greatly agreeable as surprising. And though the Superintendent and bis good family were prevented from launching into the slumbers of tbe night, and detained some two hours from the execution of their accustomed plan ot things, yet it was agreeable indeed to those present to see bow gently and pleasantly they all yielded to the inevitable and fell into line with the friendly intercourses of tbe evening. And I doubt not but tbat to them as to all present, it will be remembered as one of tbe bright spots along life's pathway. And many, doubtloss, il they could have looked in on the scene would have said, it means something after all to be a worker' in God's School." Another thing tbat added much to the surprise and pleasure of the evening was the serenade by the "Eclipse Band" ol this ciiy.

The boys did nicely, and used every endeavor to make the evening and its entertainment pleasant and enjoyable, nor did they fail of succoss. Abundance of tefresbments had been provid ed by the good ladies who had the matter in hand, and were very tastefully served and much enjoyod by every one present. A few appropriate remarks were then made by the Pastor followed by prayer after which Col. Elliott, on behalf of himself and family in a few touching sentences, responded. The company then enjoyed some more music and dispersed to their homes saying, "well done." One of them.
