The party consisted of Mrs. R. H. Adair, Mrs. Crippen, Mrs. McConnell, Miss Dora LaRue and a young lady friend of the latter from Topeka. They were all under the escort of Mrs. Wyckoff and were royally entertained by that lady.

Chaffee's apostrophes. --Read Mr. Shea's advertisement in this paper, on the opposite page. This gentleman has been a resident of Burlington for about a year and a half, and during that time has built up perhaps the most flourishing business in this valley. He is extensively known, and for his strict integrity and honorable business habits, he has gained the reputation of being "Old Safety" himself. --The initial number of the Kansas Sentinel comes to our table from Emporia, Kansas, under the trade-mark of Messrs. Hetherington & Rambo. It is Democratic, and devotedly so, and as its sponsors are both men of talent and experience in the newspaper field, the newborn Sentinel will immediately take its place in the family of leading journals of Kansas. --Delegates to the Republican state convention, to be held at Topeka, March, 31st, are to be selected on the 20th inst., in such manner as the county central committee may designate.

BURLINGTON ITEMS From the Burlington Patriot. The fruit crop in this county promises an abundant harvest.

Bear, of the Burlington bar, are attending the Woodson County District Court this week. Mr. F. Hollopeter informs us that he is building a lime kiln with a capacity of buring 300 bushels per week, and says he will be ready to burn in about three weeks. Presbyterian church is about to be organized at Waverly. Fully twenty persons are ready to unite in the organization, and they are all actual members of a church and only require a change of membership.

Robinson & Bro's. --Buy your Organs from Covert.
