| | Winfield Courier, February 1885. |
 | | We have a field of clover on the college farm sown in 1872 on high prairie land which is now good as ever; it produces heavy crops without any fertilizing and to all appearance will be good one hundred years hence. |
 | | The election to decide whether a convention be called or not could not take place until November, 1885, and the new constitution could not be ratified irregularly before November, 1886, and regularly before November, 1887. |
 | | Now, if the legislature should submit an amendment to the present constitution, it would be voted upon in November, 1885, and the new justices appointed and qualified by January 1, 1886, which would be a year earlier than possible by way of the convention. |
