Who wants to be coroner? So far, it

Office. though it is worth something;
and, in case of the death or incapacity

charge the duties of that Office. The

day morning. They belonged to F. G.
Hubbell 20 Co., G.. w. Hendrickson
7 Bailey & Butman, Jas. Lane, and the
Ohio Land and Cattle Company-all OF
this county. This one shipment i:
worth more to Barber county than ter
| train loads shipped from New Kiowa
for the money realized for these cattle
will be expended in this county, anC

The building association, now in op
7 Grafton in this city, should receive more
encouragement from the real estate
| owners. Every one of the 900 share:
, should have been taken long ago, wheI

/ taken. If each share were now PAYING
% cents per week, the receipts would
be $50 per week, or 81 900 per month
/ This would insure the building of al
least one house per month, and, be
sides, would give employment to mer
I who are now idle. 1t has been demon.
strated time and again that an invest
ment in this association is a paying
one, and we wonder why it is that ne
more people are putting their money
? into il?
