The immense amount oi ground seeded besides other work done by Mr. liarbour anu nis uuvu seem almost imposible to the eastern farmer. Beginning eany uus he turned over nine acres of prairie sod; broke the ground and put in ninety acres of corn, most of which is ai- reaay up anu is uuv -r -edten acres of ground to oats, which are doing finely, iiiey ua put up a large amount of fencing, put in their gardens, set out an orchard and are nearly through grubbing out ten large cottonwood trees which stood in the fields. Besides doing this, Mr. Barber has put in 16 acres of corn for a neighbor who was behind with his spring work.

Of course it takes "rustling" to get through with such an amount of work, but Mr. Barbour was formerly an Indiana farmer and he says it has cost him less and has taken less work to put in ninety acres of corn nn his Round Ton Farm than it did to break the ground and plant thirty acres in Indiana. Again we say Mr. Barbour is a "rustler" and four o'clock in the finds him out ready for the riav'a work during the busy season Such men are a credit to any state nd Kansas stands ready to welcome such farmers, always favoring their goodly efforts with success.

O.

TnE Republican National Conven tion will be held at Chicago on the 19th of June.

The Democratic Nation al Convention will be lield at St. Louis qn the 5th of June. here is no more potent truth ex tant than the one which states that friendship that i3 liought is too value less to be sfild again.

There are enough of these favors to go around. The crop prospects, in all sections of the State were never better than they are now. The winter wheat is -looking remarkably well, and a very large area of ground has been occupied by corn and other products of Spring. Twenti-one years ago there were but three State and four denomina tional colleges in Kansas, says the Industrialist. There are now in Kansas about twentv colleges of all sorts in running order, and all doing well.

Judging from the conduct of those politicians who are engineering Farm er Smith's campaign, it is intended that his nomination shall be a rebuke to Senator Ingalls. Just as soon as this fact becomes generally known, Mr. Smith's arewell will be in order. The President has appointed Hon. M.

W. Fuller, a prominent lawyer of Chicago, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Waite. The appointment appears to be a good one. The new udge is a con servative Democrat and an able jurist. Senator Sherman spoke the truth when he stated' in his speech in the Senate, on the 18th inst.

that the rea son Dakota is not admitted as a State is simply because the Democratic party is opposed to its admission. What a spectacle is thus presented to the country and the world a great polit ical party unmoved by the righfs of a Territory in which all the conditions of Statehood are idly met, indifferent to the equities the case, obstinately interposing itself as a barrier to the prosperity and well-being of an important section of this country, for no reason under heavens except that, as a State. Dakota would be Republican and not Democratic. WhaMo intelligent, air-minded and honorable men think of a party guilty of such partisan meanness? to 69TH ANNIVERSARY. I.

The members of the fraternity at Cherryvale, and the citizens generally, were unsparing in their efforts to make the celebration a pleasant and profitable one for all. IIow well thev succeeded is best attested by the expressions of praise that came from those who par- tifinntoii Th rpsirtpnpps of the citv and the business houses were hand somely and appropriately decorated, and the homes of the brethren were thrown open for the reception and entertainment of the visitors. Lodges were present from Independence, Liberty, Neodesha, Mound "Valley.
