This is memorial day and the G.. A.

and others, will spend the afternoon

As we understand the senatorial con-
test to occur at COldwater to-day, Mr..
McNeal will have Barber county solid,
: votes, and perhaps from Harper
county while Mr.. Price will have Com
anche, Clark and Meade, Is votes and
four from Harper. This may turn out
like our guessing last week, but it is
not likely that it will.

the building about July LIST and that the
corner stone will be ready for the cere-
monies four weeks later. Let's all talk
this up.
a severe hail storm from the south
west, last Saturday, did considerable
damage to crops in the southern and
southwestern part of this county. At
John Cooks place. on Mule creek, and
at Capt. Rogers place, at Roundup, the
greatest loss occurred. In many places
the listed corn rows were filled with
hail and water and the crop partially
destroyed.
1t has been suggested that there be a
public meeting of citizens Saturday
evening, at 0 O'Clock, at the office of
Taliaferro & DeLisle for the purpose of
making arrangements for Fourth of
July celebration at this place. If the
people will all pull together in this
matter, a creditable celebration can be
arranged ; but if it is left to few to do
the work, the effort will fall fiat.
