The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday May 6, 1896 H. HATFIELD, has, we understand, purchased the Attica Independent of Mr. WILSON and will with the aid of Lee HOFFMAN conduct it in the future. Ex-County Clerk F. HAMILTON, was an Anthony visitor Wednesday of this week. Frank was rejoicing over the rain and the excellen crop prospects. Herbert STEELE of Nevada, Mo., a young man whose boyhood days were spent in Anthony was here a few days during the past week visiting with his friend Sam SMITH. Joe DuBOIS was in the city between trains Monday, on his way to Wakita. Joe has been working for the express company at Wichita and is considerably run down in health and flesh. His many friends here hope he may recover. A very pleasant surprise was given Mr. Nat HAUN Sunday, may 1, at his home south of Freeport, in honor of his birthday anniversary. A splendid dinner was served and all present report an enjoyable time. Those present were C.A. SCHMIDT and wife, B.S. WRIGHT and wife, Milo HARE and wife, O. FOWLER and wife, Miss Nettie SHAW and Messrs. POTTS and GRUBB. Mrs. H.L. JONES returned yesterday from a ten days visit with relatives in Sumner county. Reports form all sections of the county indicate that the rainfall for the past week is from 5 to 8 inches, no section receiving less than five inches of rain. Miss Allie YOUNG made her weekly visit to Cameron Monday in the interest of Mrs. McPHEE's millinery establishment. John LYDICK was in the city Wednesday of this week and while here sold 1100 bushels of wheat at 95 cents per bushel. This cleans up Mr. LYDICK's last year's wheat crop, but as he has out over 400 acres this years he expects to grow enough off of it for bread and seed at least. Mr. Lydick reports more rain in Spring township than we have had but says nothing is injured but listed corn. Vounteers from Harper, Barber and Sumner counties were supposed to report at Wellington this week. If a recruiting office had been opened at this place at least a company could have been recruited from this and adjoining territory; as it is we don't suppose Harper county will furnish any heroes for the Cuban war, because the less recruits we send the smaller the chance to have a hero among them.
