NEW PAPER.
CCol. J. M. Alexander, of Winfield, has purchased the material of the Oxford Enterprise, and intends publishing a paper at the county seat. We extend our sympathy to the Colonel, but fear the result, although we know him to be experienced, well-qualified and adapted to the calling.CArkansas Traveler.Cast your fears to the wind, brother Scott. We have already a paying patronage without using an effort; and we intend to increase that patronage in the next six months to an extent that ought to satisfy any reasonable mind. We thank you, however, for your kind compliments, and bespeak that good will and success for the Traveler, which its true courtesy and ably conducted columns demand.
The most difficult thing in the world for one to do, is to "let well-enough alone." Discontent, especially in a new country, seems often to pervade almost every household. We have seen this to a great extent the past season in our own county. Numerous families, sacrificing their household effects and their stock, and sometimes their land, to "go back" to their former places of residence, or to some new place. And for what? The United States does not, in any other locality, furnish more beautiful and fertile lands than the valleys and rolling prairies of Cowley County. Indeed, few places can be found that will compare, in point of perfectibility, and in everything which goes to make up a desirable and lovely home, to the slopes and vales of this section of Kansas.
When we see families leaving this glorious land for the ignis fatuus of a better one, we commiserate their folly. And what disappointment awaits them at the end of their journey. Wherever they go, the same iron despotism of "Hard Times" stares them in the face. It is no better anywhere; nor will it be any better anywhere sooner, than here.
We have heard from several who have left, and invariably it seems they regret keenly their removal. Our kindest advice to the citizens of Cowley County is, to "let well-enough alone," study contentment; fight out manfully the hard times; cultivate your land with energy and industry; set out fruit and shade trees around your houses; abstain from the daily use of whiskey and tobacco; never go to town except to attend church or on business of necessity, and subscribe and pay for the PLOW AND ANVIL, and we will guarantee to you, both happiness and success.
Winfield Plow and Anvil, November 19, 1874.
FROM the Walnut Valley Times:C
"Mr. Mossman sends us some Early Rose and King of the early potatoes, raised since the drouth, which are very fine. Many persons in this county have raised good crops of potatoes since the first of August."
"Mr. C. N. James, the newly elected clerk of the court, will remove his family to town at once, and take possession of the office which was declared vacant by the Board a short time ago. Mr. James and wife will be welcomed by our people.
"Mr. Akin, the gentleman who proposes to hold the office of County Attorney for the next two years, will remove to our town shortly, and will become one of our citizens. Mr. Akin and wife will undoubtedly meet with a cordial reception from our people."
E. L. Akin was elected over A. L. Redden by two votes, three of which were cast for A. L. Redden. We have not learned whether Mr. Redden will contest.
Winfield Plow and Anvil, November 19, 1874.
FROM the Arkansas City Traveler:
C"The boiler of Speer's steam flouring mill burst last Monday, but will be in running order again in a few days.
"A new meat market has been started by S. C. Winton, on Summit St., nearly opposite to Central Avenue.
"ATTEMPTED MURDER.
CWe learn that a man by the name of Hamilton, living in Beaver Township, attempted to kill a neighbor by the name of Flint. The authorities are after him."TWO HORSES STOLEN.
CMr. William Turner, living near the State line, about five miles from this place, had both his horses stolen last Saturday night. The thieves came on horse-back, and left in the direction of the cattle trail, or Southwest. One was a medium sized black, branded T. on the shoulder, and the other a large bay branded M.
Winfield Plow and Anvil, November 19, 1874.
We are pleased to notice the election of Col. James to the office of District Clerk of Butler County. He is a true gentleman and every way qualified.
Winfield Plow and Anvil, November 19, 1874.
OUR PATRONS will get their papers at the Post Office, and then omissions and mistakes will not be likely to occur. Those who have not subscribed and who desire this paper, will please hand in their names, when they can obtain at the same time a paper of the last issue.
We shall mail this number to some parties who we think desire to take the paper. If they do not, they will please order it returned.
We are about to produce a graphic and attractive compendium of the wonderful resources of Cowley County; its fertility of soil, its numerous and well timbered streams of clear flowing water; its unusual healthfulness and its unsurpassed beauty of landscape. This will become standing matter in the paper, and will attract immigration. The Plow and Anvil is a paper that every settler should subscribe for, and send abroad to his friends.
[PORK PACKING HOUSE.]
Winfield Plow and Anvil, Thursday, November 19, 1874.
One of the most laudable enterprises of our town is the establishment of an extensive pork packing house, by our enterprising citizens, Messrs. Mullen and Jackson. They have on hand 500 head of fine porkers to slaughter, and will buy and pack all the winter. There cannot be too much said in favor of this new enterprise and the gentlemen who have invested their means in it, as it is a fact that hundreds of larger and more favored localities than this have no packing house. We desire to see Messrs. Mullen & Jackson succeed beyond their expectation.

Messrs. Hitchcock & Boyle, advertise their dry goods, groceries, queensware, and in fact, as they say, "dealers in everything." This firm is of too old standing in Winfield to need a word of commendation from us. They are fair men, and receive a very large patronage.
Messrs. Darrah & Doty, livery men, advertise their stables. This is one of the oldest livery firms in the city, and do a prosperous business. They have good teams, buggies, carriages, etc., and those who patronize them will learn that they have dealt with gentlemen.
The St. Louis Boot and Shore store, is conducted by W. H. South, one of the old business men of Winfield. The shoe business is something new with Mr. South, but there is no doubt of his success. His means are ample, his stock good, and his trade liberal. It will pay you to call and see him.
Messrs. Lockwood & Johnston, dealers in drugs and chemicals, advertise in half column. There is no better firm than this in our city, and the stock of medicines and other goods generally found in a first class Drug store advertised by this house, is complete and not inferior to any.
The Banking house of M. L. Read, is represented in a half column advertisement, and our citizens and the public generally, who have had business transactions with his bank, know of its worth far better than we can advise. This bank is a most valuable acquisition to our town and county.

That old Jackson War Horse, Judge T. B. Ross, went down to Arkansas to see how it was himself. He thought may be "after seein" he might want to move "thar."

He never did in all of good old fashioned Methodist experience feel so good before and we felt nearly as happy to see him permanently back again.

In addition to his complete stock of Dry Goods, Boots, Shoes, Hats, Caps, notions, etc., he has as fine a selection of piece goods for gentlemen's wear as can be had in Kansas City or St. Louis, and as many of our citizens can testify, Mr. Ireland does his profession credit in the manner he makes up those goods.

The Hog Fanciers began their slaughter last week. Mullen & Co., and Judge Saffold assassinated something less than 100 each, when the wind whipped around in the South and prolonged the wind of the balance of their stock. A North wind on Tuesday of this week started the music of the Swine Bands again and the Hog men are happy once more.

Lumber! Lumber!
W. H. H. Maris' Lumber yard is stocked to overflowing with the best of pine lumber, right from eastern markets; doors, sash, blinds, and all kinds of builders material and finishing stock. Mr. Maris pays cash for his lumber, and buys in large quantities at a time, thus enabling him to complete with the lowest figures placed on lumber and builders material in this part of the state.
