Ye Editor of the Gazette –We received a letter a few days since, signed by the President of the Peabody City Council, dictating to us Plum Groveites. We did not know before receiving that epistle that the president of that council had authority over our little town. If Plum Grove is an addition to the town of Peabody let us know and we will obey his commands.
—The days of handshaking with the candidates are past; however, Dr. I. V. Davis is just as glad to shake the hands of the boys as he was before the election; during the canvass he was unable to attend any of the meetings and come out beaten by only 90 votes on the day of the election.
—Plum is n Grove was blessed (or cursed) with a concert by the De Moss troupe: door receipts, $2.50; someone in the house offered them 25 cents to stop their concert, they accepted the price and closed the performance, to the satisfaction of the house. During the night some mischievous person or persons removed the bars and neck yoke from the vehicle in which the troupe traveled and forgot to return them. (mean trick). From here they went to the stone chapel and gave a concert with about the same success.
— W.H. Montgomery returned from Pennsylvania. He left here last spring to try farming in that State. He says one acre of Kansas land is worth more to him than the whole farm in Pa.
—Corn selling on the streets for 17 cents per bushel. No hog buyers on, the market.
—Weather cool with prospects of a storm.
A STAR CUS.
