In another column you will find a public sale notice of Jesse YOUNG and N.H. KELSEY of this township. They will sell everything at they are preparing to move to Indiana. (Note: Barb, I never did find the notice. Jim) Last Monday evening Jesse YOUNG and N.H. KELSEY, of near Jingo were in LaCygne on business. They had their team hitched in front of Harrington's meat market when something frightened them, causing a runaway. They ran around several blocks and finally were stopped in front of the Central hotel with the tongue of the wagon broke out which was the only damage done. Mrs. E. E. SEATON entertained a number of her lady friends at the Central hotel Tuesday evening. Those present were: Mesdames Booker SEATON, J.R. LEMON, W.H. JUDSON, Frank ALLEN, Geo. J. MILLER, J.C. SMITH, L.T. ROBINSON, J.B. SAUNDERS, F.W. JUDSON, and Misses Frances JACOBS and Daisy MILLER. Clarence ALLEN has recently purchased the high-stepping horse known as "Cannon Ball." Clarence is getting him in condition and will, it is feared, put a Star Pointer record on him. Col. Ed. R. SMITH of Linn county passed through LaCygne Wednesday morning on his way to Paola to start the races at the Miami County Fair. Although the Colonel has been associating with W.J. BRYAN and other shining lights it hasn't made a bit of difference in the gentleman. he is the same politician, race-horse man and jolly good fellow that he has been.
