In a railroad accident at Emporia, Tuesday morning, several Marion county men were hurt. John Bachus, of Hillsboro, hurt in breast; Philip Treger of Lehigh, head hurt and injured internally; William Schlehuber, Lehigh, side hurt. These gentlemen were on their way to Kansas City with cattle when the accident happened. They were taken to the Santa Fe Hospital in Topeka.

A hand-car party chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Claude Duval went to Hillsboro last night to attend the revival meetings going on in that city conducted by Rev. Will Runyan. The party consisted of the following young people: Misses Edna and Viola Yost, Eulah and Zoe Marner, Emma Ainsworth and Helen Mollohan; Roy Williams, Jerome McIntosh and Omer Marler.

A picnic at Chingawasa yesterday afternoon was participated in by the following young people: Misses Ruth King, Imogene Dean, Myrtle Myers, Gertie Sheets, Ruth Keller, Vinnie Wible and Marguerite Saggau; Messrs Charley Vaughn, Fred Carter, Rosse Sheets, Charlie Brooker, Carl Sheldon and Leslie Bryan. A shower of rain coming up just before time for starting home gave them a good wetting but did not dampen their spirits, and they all voted that they had had the "best time of their lives."

Chris Utting was down from Antelope, Wednesday, and took a wagon load of watermelons back with him.

The County Commissioners leave next Monday on a tour of inspection of various new County Court Houses. They go first to Clay Center, then to Junction City and from that point to Burlington, Coffey county. They will possibly visit other counties in their effort to select the best within the limits provided in the special bill. J.C. Holland, of Topeka, will accompany them in an advisory capacity, and he may superintend the erection of the Marion County Court House, although that point is not definitely decided upon. The question of a location is yet to be determined.

Alva Quisenberry has purchased what is one of the finest vehicles in town. It is a new style, rubber tired phaeton.

How many of you fellows would liked to have had Charley Wells' job, sitting upon a board, swinging from the telephone cable across Main street in the boiling sun for two or three days, making repairs? While we stood in the shade and watched him work the other day, we heard a "never-sweat" say "Oh, that's nothing if you're used to it."

The loser of a wagon endgate can get it at this office.

Along in the early eighties, when crop failures were more the rule than of late years, an old Dutchman of this county said: "I peen here nine year, and I haf me nine goot brospect, und von goot grop." We hope he is still on deck, for if he has held the fort up to 1905 his "brospect" and "grop" will both be OK.

On the southeast corner of Sam Baker's place there is an apple tree loaded down with fine fruit. Henry Woolheater is his neighbor on the south, and we are sorry to say that we noticed the wire fence between the lots is badly mashed down at the corner close to the aforesaid apple tree.

Brown Corby, cashier of the new bank, has purchased what was his former home, the Quisenberry place on Lincoln avenue. Brown will feel like he is back under his own vine and fig tree. He planted the trees on the place nearly twenty years ago.

The RECORD is more than pleased to note the rapid recovery of Dr. J.N. Hannaford from the operation recently performed upon him for hernia. The Doctor expects to be able to come down to his office Saturday.

Clyde Loveless, Will Lyons and Miss Lulu Bissey left for the east, Tuesday to buy goods for WW Loveless & Sons store. Miss Bissey will have charge of the millinery department of the store this fall.

Will the lady at Lehigh who lost a child's jacket in this city, July 4th, kindly send her name again as we have misplaced her letter, and forgotten the name. We have the jacket.
