Gardening and bousecleauing is in 'Rev. Gates, of the Baptis tdenomi-nation, preached at the Walnut Creek school house last Sabbath." The sermon was doctrinal and listened to with deep interest. It's hoped he can occasionally preach at that point.

The M. E. church has been undergoing repairs. It presents almost a new appearance inside. The churches do look neglected and dilapidated.

The appearance of the Congregational church would be greatly improved if re-painted. Marsh Gephart, a very promising young attorney, and Hal Robeits, junior editor ot llie independent, both of Oskaloosa, paid the metropolis a visit on" Monday. Come again, boys; a little metropolitan air will do you good once in a while. Col. Larkin shipped from this jxiint on Saturday last, to Chicago, one hundred and thirty head of fat cattle, averaging 1475 lbs each, also one hundred and twenty beat! of hogs averaging 225 lbs each.

Thry went out on a special on Santa Fe Ii li. Mrs. E. W. llillyer.of Car7ou City, Neyada, is visiting friends here.

Her husband, the Hon. E. W. Hillyer is U. S.

District Judge for the state of Nevada and is also a brother of Dwight and M. P. Hillyer. We understand the object of her visit principally to be for health. Kansas has for health a reputation world-wide.

The storms, rains and bad roads and the irregul? mails have been the cause of the Reporter copy not reaching the compositor in time for its weekly appearance. We have always endeavored to be on time. Will be absent from the city for some weeks. The friends of the Reporter will rally around it aud keep it iu order. Mrs.

L. A. Myers and daughters and Miss Frank Hillyer went to Kan sas City last to visit friends. It is easily supposed that Mr3. M.

is not home to see- the Capt. and two. ladies step into the Cataract and order dinner a3 they did a few days since, and the Capt. didn't a.ct like a "Universal-ist preacher" either. There have been man' incidents of interest.no doubt, transpiring but they seem to be of such a bad nature that we can not get the clue, and they would do no good if known.

So many complain of ths boys. The boys so bad. so wild. How can they be other wise when the fathers and elder brothers set the example? The men must do better if the boys are expect ed to grow into honest, noble men. The Topeka Lottery is just a3 we supposed.

We are glad-the people oi that city do denounce it, and that the names of some of the state othcers and prominent citizens of that place were attached by frrud, without their knowledae and consent. We did not mean to insinuate that the Blade was bought, but were lonely to hear it go for some body some fraud. The Blade is winning! The ladies of Jefferson county can't fail to be suited from a selection of eighty varieties of wall paper, from the plainest to the most costly and el egant, at the store of "Reub Best," of the firm of Beland, Myers Best on Broadway Don'fc take our' word for it, but call and see for yourself. There is no question but what "Keuben" can duplicate Jjeaven-worth or Atchison prices. 31-4t.

Mess. Horace B. Schaeffer and Luther Crotzer intend taking their cattle to Chicago. All look so finely some will weigh 14000 lbs. These young and enterprising farmers contemplate coming home via Frceporr, 111., as the young ladies there are refined and handsome.

Well, boys, we wish you a jolly time! May the profit on the sale of your steers be such as will enable jou to see sights and have a good time with the fair maid ens of northern Illinois! Horse races are becoming quite common. One almost each Saturday. It is estimated that almost 1,000 changed hands on Saturday last. Are these hard times? and do these amusements, this broad daylight gambling do any good? One-would suppose their degrading influence on the morals of a community could not be estimated, to see the conduct of the boys ou the ttrett. Reeling and.

using most vulgar profane language in addressing each other- Truly society needs a revolution A visit to the school building and grounds will convince one that they are in a shamefully dilapidated condition. The plastering off the ceiling and walls in every room, the fence all broken up and the trees all demolished. It ia to be deeply regretted, as the school building and grounds should reflect and betoken the industry and good management of the people in whose midst it is located. School rooms should be made more pleasant and inviting, the dingy walls whitened and covered, with pictures, Then there is a way of teaching children not to mutilate and destroy everything around them. Those who have, notieed the dilapidated condition of our school property are very sorry that it iso.
