THE Cash SYSTEM |!

Experienced buyers, wheth-
-er they be farmers, tradesmen
or mechanics, all admit that
under the system of cash at
both ends of the line" they
are enabled to buy and sell
on a much smaller margin of
profits. With the idea of bene-
fitting our customers and at
the same time gaining a con.
siderable advantage for our
selves in the eastern markets,
we have decided that on and
after February lst, 1888, to
follow strictly the cash sys-
tenn.
We need not tell our many
old customers that ours is by
far the largest and best sci.
ected stock of goods in this
county. 1t is a general stock
in every sense of the word and
embraces everything that a
family may need in the way
of necessaries, comforts and
luxuries.
Winter is practically over
and it becomes advisable to
clear out all heavy goods and
to do this, we shall make sub
stantial reductions on all
blankets, woolens, heavy cloth
ing, overcoats, winter boots
and shoes, and in fact all fall
diiu WlnpCI SVOtlS.
This is no sensational an
nouncement to draw crowds !;
but a business proposition
that can not be controverted.
Call and see us whit the
cash or its equivalent, and
you will go. home with more
goods for the money than you
ever before hauled out of this
town. Respectfully,
Stamford. Youmans g Eidred.

Friday and Saturday and say that the

ally hay.
Mrs. Myra Jones and her sister. Miss
Mary Stevens, who have been here Wis
itiug their father, Judge Stevens. and
his family, for five months, left, Mon
day, for Denver, Colorado. They will
stop over few days at Wichita. The

companied their mother.
The centenary services at the Pres
byterian church, last Sunday, were well
attended, morning. afternoon and night.
at the morning services Rev. McElroy
gave an interesting history of the
church in this country. In the after
noon the Sabbath school exercises were
exceptionally well carried out and in
the evening the service of song and
readings was very pleasant. Care had
been taken in the preparation of the
programme and it was remarkable for
its variety and its freshness.
Attorney General Bradford arrived
here yesterday and is stopping at some
private house. His coming was looked
for it appears, for the day before Hon.
A. II. Ellis, of Beloit, who is here, was
pointed out for Gen. Bradford. Why
the General was sent for has not yet
been made public. Most people sup
posed Medicine Lodge was behaving
herself in most approved prohibition
fashion, and as the grand jury could
find but few law-breakers, it was be-
lieyed that there would be no further
need for outside help in enforcing all
laws. The new county attorney GER
tainly was not guilty of derelic-
ton of duty, nor was he want
ing in enthusiasm, and so we are at a
loss to know why our city should again
be advertised as being as wicked AS
Wichita or LeavenwOrth, where it is
necessary for the attorney general to
visit every few weeks. However, the
county is rich; taxes do not yet exceed
five per cent; crops were good last year;
our granarles a e full and overlooking;
the farmers are in good spirits and anx-
ious to pay heavy costs for useless pros
ecutions and so the visit of the chief
law officer of the state at this particu-
lar time is regarded as a great blessing.
