Reports have it that NJ Casper, of
this place, is about to open a hotel in
the near future in connection with his
saloon. Mr.. Casper is good man, but
if he has to depend on making living
at that business and in opposition to

ney house, his prospects are anything
but promising. We think some fellow
is trying to sell him bill of furniture

repairing shop at Neibur's store. Mr..

gave our second nine bad beating
last week. 1t appears as though the

nine. Boys we would advise you not
to do so, for if you do you will not
care about any more playing for this
season. Why not challenge Linden
Montfort. or some other club You
play well.

who has been coming here twice a
month for the last two years, for the

large circle of friends who will be glad
to welcome his return.
