tension of the line through their towns.
Prepare to plant shade trees in the
early spring With our excellent system
of water works. and with proper atten-
ton, great variety of beautiful shade
and ornamental trees can be successfully
grown. This would greatly enhance the
beauty of our city.
In order to increase the circulation of
the TINES we offer one of the best parlor
organs made, to the person securing the
| largest number of new subscribers to the
| TINES during the present year 1t is an
easy matter to get subscribers to the larg :
est best and cheapest paper in the county,
Some smart lady can secure hand
some parlor organ, of one of the very
best makes, at the cost of little extra
effort. The TIM has the largest cir
culation of any paper in Ford county,
but we mean to double it. See our offer
in an other column
There is a large number of cows run
ming at large on our streets that ought to
be taken in charge by some one. The
council having ordered all wire fences
down it has left number of trees and
yards exposed. Let this nuisance be
adopted at once.
The TINES is receiving names by the
score. both from home parties and friends
in the east to which we shall send copies of
the Mammoth Special Illustrated edition
of the TINES. Information concerning
Kansas is eagerly sought by eastern part
les, and we will gladly send copies of our
paper to any addresses furnished u.s.
Quite mad dog scare in town last week.
A supposed irate canine was killed after
having bitten several dogs Some of the
bitten dogs were killed also We could
manage to survive such another dispen-
sation of Providence. In fact we can
welcome such dispensations as long as
there is surviving dog.
Though the Rock Island people are
keeping their movements very still, there
is scarcely doubt that they will begin
next week to extend their line up the
river via Cimarron and Garden City to
Deerfield, where it will cross the river,
and take an air line for Pueblo.
l., LOckman who owns a handsome
quarter section six miles northeast of
this city, called to give us the names of
some of his eastern friends to whom he
wishes copies of the illustrated edition
of the TINES sent Mr. Locl1man sowed
ten acres of oats on Tuesday of this
week. We think this is the first of the
season. Who can beat it,
The NJ. E. church will erect an elegant
brick edIfice at cost of about 1900
inadequate to meet the requirements of
the large audiences worshiping there.
Let the business men prepare to give this
enterprise their hearty support, for good
churches like good schools an are index
to the character of our city.
Quarterly meeting next Sunday at the
Methodist church. Rev. A. P, George
will be present and preach in the evening.
The sacrament of the Lords Supper will
be administered, and the quarterly con-
ference will be held on Monday. This
is the last Quarterly Conference of this
year and is therefore an important meet
ing.
The ex land possibly present. joint
keepers of Dodge City will not feel so
sure of getting off scott free, or with only
a light sentence if they are brought be-
fore Judge Strang now, as did a week
ago His sentence of 5000 fine and ninety
days in Jail which was melted out to the
joint keepers of Larned, is more of a
dose than they will care to swallow.
The Frederikson Land Co. sold last
week to Geo. Heppert of Illinois, Sec
ton of their land, southwest of town.
Mr. Heppert made the remark that he
felt like hiring some one to kick him for
not having come to Kansas ten years ago.
1t is safe to say the report he will take
back to his neighbors will not be unfav-
orable to Ford county
L. E. McGarry & Co. have added some
very fine and useful furniture to their
real estate office. They now have the
neatest office in the city. This is in har-
mony with their immense business.
They are making some of the largest
deals in real estate ever made in Western
Kansas. If you have property to sell, or
if you want to purchase call and see
them.
If you have property to sell, list at
reasonable price with the real estate men
and they will sell it during the spring
boom. Now don't get excited when buy
ers come, but fix your price and stick TO
it. 1t is not fair treatment to give your
property into the hands of an agent, and
then after he has spent $50 or $50 in ad-
vertiseing and showing it, to order it
from the books or change the price before
the time specified in contract.
