Wc understand that Lcrccht has re fused to allow the Lotus Club to hold any more dances In the Masonic hall, as ho Is afraid the boys will "balance" all the plastering of the ceiling. Richards & llogcrs tore down a large corn crib that has been standing back of their store, at Wichita, and sent the lumber oyer here and a ware house will be constructed from the material. There was some talk last week that another meat market would be started in town. We trust the rumor will pot prove unioundcd, as opposition is a good thing in all kinds of business. J.M.

By the last postal decision, business men oan actually make money by hav ing their bills and statements printed. The law now says in substance that if these, are made out on paper, that is printed at the head, they can be sent through the mail for one cent, the envel ope being un sealedf whereas if made out on unprinted paper tbey will cost three cents. Thus by patronizing the printer two cents can be saved on every bill or statement sent through the mail, and that will more than pay the coat ol blanks.
