The evasive tone, the look Of
pain in the fQrrowed face were no
ticed by the stylish lady as the
gray head bowed upon the toll
marked hand. She wanted to
hear her story: to help her.

"No, no-I'm in trouble.

"Ihe train does rot come for

"Whatis your trouble? Maybe

The tears stood in the lines on
her cheeks. The ticket agent
came out softly, stirred the fire
and went back. After a pause
she continued:

the gray locks, while the tears of
sorrow and the tears of synrathy

The editor that makes known

following grape shot into the ears
of the astonished Eastern scribe:
Nebraska is the sole remaining
section of Paradise in the Wes-

ap for our wells the holes from
which we pail by steam derrick
and $50 horse power engines our
gaaisheS aud beats; and make COW
sheds and circus tents of turnip

empty pcapods and use them for

The citizens OF Scriven county

and integrity OF the people. An
answer has been sent to the Herald
aud it remains to be seen whether
that paper published it or not
If the answoris not published it
will show that the paper Is in
league with the man who wrote
the article, in trying to defame the

Did you know that Ford's second addi-
ton on the Little river just eight rods west
of Carey's park, Joined by Rich's addition
and Ferrelps addition, is one of the most
beautiful suburban additions to our beauti-
full city, Such is the fact my friend. This
addition is located upon gentle swell jus.
south and west of the Little Arkansas river.
The elevation is about Is or 20 feet higher
than the junction of Main stree. and Doug
las avenue. The soil is deep sandy loan,
unsurpassed for fertility. Good water easily
reached. In short, this is one of the most
desirable locations for residences so close
to the business part Of the city. The money
is pledged to build q substantial bridge
across the Little river at the southwest cor
ner of Cary's park on Cary avenue, which
will bring residents into this addition within
five minutes walk of the present street car
line. The lets are 100 feet by 800 feet giving
an east and west front to each lot. The
price is 500 per lot. Each lot is the size OF
eight lots % by $50 #, and at the price
named would amount to but s25 per lot Of
the ordinary size. The terms are one-hAli
cash, the balance in one year at 6per cent
interest.

Spectator, and the very chance the poo.
