The Cowley County Normal Institute opened Monday in the High School building with a splendid outlook. One hundred and six were enrolled—almost double the first day’s enrollment of any year since the Institute’s inception. Sixty is the largest recorded for any first day up to this year. Prof. J. N. Wilkinson, of the State Normal School, is conductor, and Prof. A. Gridley, Miss Ella Kelly, and Mr. Will C. Barnes, all educators of experience and ability, are instructors. Of course, County Superintendent Limerick has general supervision. The teachers are vigorous and ambitious, exhibiting great interest in the enhancement of their vocation. The Institute is a marked contrast to that of last year, in attendance. Over half are new faces, if anything an improvement in appearance over any past Normal. Last year the Institute was held seven weeks, with one session a day. This year it will be but four weeks, with two sessions daily; morning, from 10 to 12; evening, 4 to 6. Following is Monday’s enrollment.

The night blooming Cereus of Mr. Ira Kyger drew a large number of admiring spectators Saturday night. At eight o’clock it began to spread its lovely petals. They were as white as wax and peeped out from the bell-shaped bud with beauty exquisite. It continued to bloom until twelve o’clock, when its bud closed over it, to open no more till next year.

Winfield Courier, Thursday, September 10, 1885.

Irve Randall commenced throwing dirt on Tuesday for his new building just north of Kyger’s second-hand store. It will be a two-story building of brick and stone. Ed Weitzel will commence a similar building adjoining the Commercial Hotel. Ed is thinking of making it a three-story, and will go to work just as soon as the hide house is removed.

Paris & Harrod, excavators of the Curns & Manser, Wallis & Wallis, and Hunt cellar, are almost done with their work, and the mason work will soon commence. The block will be a seventy-five foot front and eighty feet deep; three stories high. When completed the building will fill the vacancy between Mater’s blacksmith shop and the millinery store, which has so long been an unsightly place and a wilderness of sunflowers and other weeds. This is not all. The corner below the second hand store of Ira Kyger is owned by men of capital, who are arranging to erect a fine building thereon. And still we boom, notwithstanding the wail from other towns that times are close and nothing doing.

Winfield Courier, Thursday, October 1, 1885.

Ira Kyger has returned from a short trip to Indiana, highly pleased with his visit.

Winfield Courier, Thursday, November 5, 1885.

Messrs. H. Y. Morrison and Wm. Angle, accompanied by Mr. Morrison’s daughter, Mrs. L. V. Heichert and her daughter, Clara, arrived Friday from Frankfort, Indiana. Mrs. Heichert spent part of last summer here and she now returns, hoping by spending the winter here in our pleasant climate, to be fully restored to health again. She will make her home with Mr. Kyger, 208 east 12th avenue. The gentlemen are delighted with our country and its climate.
