rain, last Friday afternoon.
A. G. Forsbeck and Geo. Gray
made business trip to Audubon
last Saturday.
Geo. Gray took in the county con-
venlion last Monday and as usual
reports booming time.
Mr.. Perkins, our excellent wheel
wright, has moved his family to
town. Welcome all such.

noon shopping stories with friends.
Mr.. James Beadle, who has been

pected home some time next week.
]. F. Schryver is driving a cream

quent visits to Gray, on his rounds.
Elmer Benson made a trip to
Manning Saturday, to look after
MIR. Gray's pasture and cattle near
there.
Miss Guthrie went to Manning,
Monday morning to meet her
mother who is at present visiting
here in Gray.
Geo. Gray and Dave McMurry,
can tell more about repairing an old
leaky water tank than most any one
else. Ask them.
Farmers report the condition OF
corn as very favorable, notwithstand-
ing the extremely dry weather of
the past four weeks.
Mr.. Frazey informs US that DR..
Brooks got his face slightly burned
by the bursting of an overloaded
cartridge in his gun few days
since.
During his fathers absence Joe.
Beadle has been putting up hay for
winter feed for his team. That
beats loaing badly. Joe. is an in
dustrious boy.
Small grain is beginning to come
on the market-principally barley
so far. From IS to 40 cents is
offered, depending on quality. 1t
is generally good.
The Lincoln township republican
primary was held at the Center
schoolhouse Saturday evening, July
24th. A good number went out
from town and helped boom things.
A good joke is told on a lady
living in Gray, about the singular
fiavoring used in cake made by
her for a sociable. Sweet oil isn't
worth a "little Bit" as a favoring
extract.
Rev. Elliott has so tar recovered
from his recent illness as to be out
again. He contemplates a trip to
Clear Lake, for rest. His many
frie nds here are more than pleased
to hear of his recovery.
This week will complete harvest
ing in this locality. Farmers could
not ask better weather than they
have had for saving their grain,
and for a wonder the chronic "bad
weather" growler is pretty quiet.
If the REPUBLICAN teller finds
our weekly dish rather hungry
looking this week he must remem-
Der that we have had a fearful
"spell o'weather," for the last month
and we haven't got over the effects
of the drouth yet.
P. 6. Audas and wife are enjoy
ing a visit from Mr.. and Mrs. Clark
Swiger, of Red Willow county
Nebraska. Mr.. Swiger is a brother
of Mrs. Audas. We understand he
will make his home in Gray, for
the present. Welcome.
This is the first season for num-
Der of years, that the sloughs could
be cut clean, and the opportunity is
being improved. Geo. Gray and
Chas. Stuart, are putting up hun.
dreds of tons of hay on their respec-
tive farms near hear for stock feed
the coming winter.
On Thursday evening of last
week, as the ladies of the aid society
were returning from J. A. Aikman's,
where they had held their meeting,
in descending long hill, the team
became frightened and began run
ming. Mr.. Johnson, who was
driving, succeeded in keeping the
team in the road, and the wagon
right side up; otherwise a serious
accident might have resulted. One
lady became frightened, and jumped
out, while the horses were running;
fortunately she escaped with only
slight scratches and bruises. Run
Always are getting to be altogether
too numerous either for comfort or
safety.
