| When you come to town with your

take the Herald-call and subscribe, so
that you can keep posted on the prices

market report, and you may be enabled
to save twice the price of years sub
scription on single load of grain by
keeping posted.
last week indicated that
the justice was to have case. A gen
tleman living in town purchased a pair
of boots, when some miscreant who
couldn't afford to buy pair monopo-
lized one of them, evidently intending
to watch for some one else to buy a
pair, when he would confiscate one of
them also, thus providing himself with
foot-gear free Of cost. Threats of a
search-warrant however soon caused
the return of the missing article, and
the owner now places them under his
pillow when he retires at night.
when the townsite of Hurley was
7platted several lots were reserved for
special purposes; one corner of Center
avenue and Main street being set apart
for bank building. The lot was dis
posed of to gentleman by the name OF
Clampet, who represented that he would
comply with the requirements of the
townsite company. He visited Hurley
several times and expressed himself as
being satisfied with the surroundings
He informed several parties here, in.
| Guiding the editor of this paper, that
the safe and time-lock were bought
and the contract let for the construction
of the building. It now seens that the
object of Mr.. c. was to secure this lot
as speculation and not for the pur.
pose of occupancy, as he now offers il
for sale, asking more than double what
it cost him. If this isa specimen of his
manner of doing business the town is
better off without him. He has moi
only deceived the people and business
S$men by his Misrepresentation, but has
fprevented others from establishing
here a much needed institutions a bank
insurance agency and real estate office
