That slight cold. of which you think so
little, may lead to serious trouble with
the lungs. Avoid the result by taking
Ayers Cherry Pectoral, the best known
remedy for coughs, colds. catarrh, bron-
chitis, incipient consumption, and all
other throat and lung diseases.
The receipt of the card of Bristol Sis
tiers, formerly of Topeka but new en-
gagged in the real estste and investment
business at Los Angeles, Cal, is acknowl-
edged. They are business women, and
invite all Kansans visiting in California
to call on them.

Frank Smith, Esq, of the Colby Hard

mer strength. He will be with us about
week. His home is at Oberlin.
Receipt of the Carriers Address of the
Kansas City Evening News is acknowl-

beautiful form, tastefully arranged, and
taken altogether is the best published

ever seen.
Mr.. A. W. Bennett, the genial clerk at
the Brick Store, was the recipient of a
Christmas box containing chestnuts, cake
persimmons and taffy sent him by Misses
Anna and Nettie Maphis. young lady

joyed a sample of the present. and must
say that Virginia produces some delecta-
bic sweet meats.

The "Adonis" who presides over the
Settlers Guide. of Quinter, Cove county,
lately made a trip into Thomas county,
and among other good and compliments
ry things he says about our county, re-
marks: I'VE pause here to remark, that
the Thomas county girl is the peer in
beauty. intelligence, wit and all domes-
tic virtues. of tie feminine representa-
tives of any county in the state, and
young lady o. our acquaintance was per
fectly justified in saying that no young
Thomas county man has any business to
go back east after a wife when he can do
better right here at home"
Mayor NJ Donelan has received an in
quiry from the mayor of Ness City as to
the truth of the report of suffering from
cold, starvation. &c, in this part of wes-
tern Kansas. In reply, Mayor Donelan
desires the CAT to say for him, that there
is not one word of truth in any such re-
port SO far as Thomas county is concern
ed and none so far as he has heard from
adjoining counties. There is now an
abundance of fuel here, and there never
has been any lack, though at one time
owing to lack of transportation. it seem
ed that the supply might run short. Our
farmers live well. and pay their bills, bny-
ing from Colby merchants for cash.
There is no suffering here. and times are
comparatively good.
