Host people know that there i a town, or rather a prospective town, caviled Hoislngton in the northern part of the county, cn the new line of the Missouri Pacific: Some persons affect to believe that it will one day iaake a great town because it is surrounded by a rich farming country, others be lieve that it is possible that one day it will be the county seat of Barton County. We want to say in the first place that we have no unkind feeliugt for this town. We know several gen tlemen in this town who are interested there, and we esteem them kighly. We don't believe there is a tin el e one of the members of this town comp&nr who has an idea that Hotsington will ever be the county seat of this countv. The idea is simply absurd. Hoisinjr- ton will no doubt make a respectable town some day, a town possibly as large as Ellin wood, but the idea of its ever reaching the size of Great Bend or becoming an active competitor is. "a day dream as wild as the Arabian Nights." Great Bend is on the great trunk line of the Arkansas river in line with all the great and erowinr Also a foO Cm cf Fred WD8 of1the vflleJr it,ha PPukuon ui over uiree inouaauaa, ana property aggregating over a million. Tne same railroad that reaches HowDgton will also come to Great Bend. No town in tbe valley has fairer prospects, than Great Bend. The ouly thiug', that ever can be urged in favor of Hoitington is that it i nearer the cen ter of the county. This is a mighty slim argument when it stands alone and will never of itself make a countr seat. Kanopolia is in the exact graphical center of Kansas, and -AND- Main Street, Great Bend.

" ' Kanopolis is the capital of the state eo- when we may begin to think that the Deonle of Barton will want to move the county seat to the center of the county. The town of Hoisington has our best regards. We hope it will make a good town for its growth will aid Great Bend in a direct ratio. LTOOfWM r Cor.

The show ii popular, and de servedly so. The panorama depicting scenes and life in Ireland are perfect representations, and the sketch work of Dan and Josie Sullivan is arausiDf and entertaining. This is the fifth vis it of Mr. Sullivan to Denver, the first having been mada as far back as 1870, and he has made a host of personal friends here. At G. A. R.,llth, and 13th. Commencing November 25th the Kansas City, Ft, Scott and Gulf Rail-, road'will run a line of through Pull man buffet sleeping cars between Kansas City 'and Jacksonville, Fla. The through car will leave Kansas City daily at 6:45, going via Memphis;. Chattanooga, Atlanta and Macon. This popular railroad alwavs keeps fully abreast of the. times, and this is but another manifestation of their enterprise. Saturday nieht the Grand had a fine audience to hear the Dan Morris Sullivan Combination and to see the beautiful scenes of Ireland as this trou pe mirrors them. There are 80 of se pamttnes, each 13 feet high and 10 feet long. The moonlight effect on many of these pictures is charm in sr. be sides beisjr instructive and amusing. The troupe had a warm welcome bv our people, and will be heartily greet ed when they return.
