BARTON COUNTY DEMOCRAT. LANQFORD & STOKE, Editors and Proprietory. OFFICE IN OPERA HOUSE BLOCK. : GREAT BEND, KANSAS TnK death of Hon. William A. Wheeler last week leaves but one liv ing ex-vice president, Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine. TnE time will soon be here when action should be taken in regard to our normal school. Is it not about time we were having a report from the committee? V .TnE prospect for corn is excellent all over the state, and if no untoward factor intervenes, the crop of that cereal for Kansas will reach the enor mous figure of 500,000,000 tfushels. In the absence of liquor joints, under the new regime, the soda fount ains are kept busy and the people are healthful, happy and prospeous. A drunken man is as scarce as the blos soms of the century plant. One of the best indications " of the agricultural probabilities of this sea son, and the prospects for our staple cereal, corn, is the immense number of implements that are sold daily to our farmers by dealers in these articl es. Canada lias at last begun to retal iate. Last week a Canadian bank cashier skipped to Uoston with $12,000 which was not his. The only differ ence between him and the average American cashier, who skips, is that the latter manages usually to get a larger sum than a pitiful $12,000. The Topeka Capital says Xewton and Hutchinson are trying to out lie esch other in regard to population, with Xewton a thousand in the lead and several back districts in Hutchin son to hear from. A number of Kan sas towns have a way of manufactur ing statistics of this kind. Evem moral Topeka might find it a tough thing to lind the forty thousand people she claims. We were assured last Monday morn ing that Great Bend would have a Fourth-of-July celebration. Since then we have heard of no preparation, though we hope considerable has been made. Great Bend can have a good. celbration if we begin now. But if the preparation is put off till the last we shall have nothing that will amount to anything, and it would be better for us to attempt nothing. If we are go ing to do anything now is the time to btgin, and the way to begin is to call a citizens'' meeting, appoint the proper committees and solicit funds. The Chrvnosco says that one of the capitalists of that place is thinking of buying Great Bend for a "garden patch." Having tried his hand on the sterile acres of Lamed, he has wisely come to the conclusion that the place to garden is on the fertile soil of Bar ton. Very well; we can supply the trpiitlf m.nn with n. few n.rres of subur ban property, whereon he can raise "garden truck;" and after the products ;5re ready, right here in Great Bend he will find a market for everything. Great Bend can have a Fourth-of-July celebration which will equal any thing in this part of the state. It is true it seems a little late now, but still, with energy, every needed preparation can be made. We announced yester day that there would be a celebration and we have no doubt those in charge will make it a success. Still, if we were allowed to make any suggestion, it would be that a committee be ap pointed at once to procure noted speak ers from a distance as well as good home talent. The speakers should be secured as early as possible in order that the fact may be advertised. Gkeat Beed has had a most pros perous season since the opening of spring, in fact the most prosperous in her history. The citizens themselves are the authors of it all. They set to work early in the season and said that we must have a boom this year. The re sult was we have had a boom. We refer to this for the purpose of impress ing it on the minds of our people that, after all, whether Great Bend will make a large city depends wholly and solely on us. We may talk as much as we please about our excellent geographical situation, and it is greatly in our tavor, but after all men make cities. Casting one's eye over the map he would naturally say that Leaven worth ought to have a greater city than Kansas -City. And it would, had Leavenworth had the same kind of business men as Kansas City. "The Gods help those who help themselves" is one of the oldest and truest of maxims. That stoniach-dAtorting and body humping esculent the festive cucum berhas made its appearance, the nat ural precursor of the greenapple period, when the small 'boy "Writhes and squirms, under the paralyzing effects of surreptitious visits to forbidden or ' The readers of the Democrat will sadly miss the newsy letters which we have been receiving from our corres pondent at Bartholdi. It is with genu ine regret that we announce to them that our correspondent informs us that he can write no more for the present. However, we hope some of our friends up there will "take hisplace and give us the weekly news. ' PAWNEE ROCK ITEMS. Another fine rain Sunday morning.. - Children's Day will be observed at the M. E. church here next Sunday. Walter Bowman had a beautif ul dream of his Sun City Duxy Jane last Saturday night. Pete Klein, of the G. W. Ashton & Co. firm, whistles Dutch on Sunday to avoid our city ordinances on profane language. Wm. S. McDougal's jack is making frantic efforts nowadays to outdo the steam whistles on the passing railroad engines. Jt is astonishing to note the rapid tendency to obesity in some of our "city dads." They seem to. be. enjoy ing the fat of the land." The City Council is preparing to bore for natural gas, but ' the quandary seems to be whether, to tap the black smith or the lumber-yard. . Try Andy. The "Kid" B. B. C. of Great Bend came up Monday to play our .boys a game and got it put ' over them to the tune of 15 to 0. The umpire declared the game off ..at the.close of the seventh inning. ' r Mr. J. J. Byler, from 'taG range county, Ind., was visiting with the postmaster at this place and is highly pleased-with the " country and will probably return soon with a view to go ing into business here. Quite a number of our business men are lucking the "city dads" all over town for ordering an occupation tax. Don't do it, boys; don't do it! Its one of the beauties of, protective tariff re form, so long promised by our political parties. Guffey Galbreath, a brother of our esteemed blacksmith, and an old ac quaintance of our postmaster, was here on a short visit and seemed well pleased with the country, -and reports dry weather in Northern Indiana, where he lives. Smith & Smith, will take v their fine billiard tables away from:.here in a short time and then some of the boys will be compelled to squander their money for coffee, tea or sugar, or pay off some of their old store and board bills. What's this world coming to? Bowman Brothers & Co. have traded their line $16,000 roller mills for real estate in Turin., Reno county,' Kansas. Mr. Scott, the new proprietor, will take possession in about ten days, and the citizens of Pawnee ltock extend to him a hearty welcome among them. We have not" learned the intentions of the old firm,'but trust' they will remain, with us. Xovus IIOJMO. Ileal Estate Transfers.
