IThe Masonic lodge at Herington,
which has been working under dispen-
sation the past year, was granted a

EyWe admire the gall of the Salina
Herald that credits the printing of the
Dickinson court docket as was done by
the REFLECTOR alone, to an obscure
weekly that was never known to show
a lingering spark of enterprise.
"a Enterprise Independent: A petit
ton has been circulated and very gen.
orally signed asking the mayor and
council to call an election for the pur-
pose of voting bonds to the amount of
ten thousand dollars for city water
works.
gWho says there is no corn in
Dickinson county? One shelter alone,

thirty days. Besides this there are |
five or six other shelters doing their |
share of the work.

R@We have talked with quite a

tises the fixtures of the Office for sale
March 5th to the highest bidder among

Abilene's mail handler has opened a
fancy-work bazaar in the rear of his
Office. Coming events cast their
shadows before.
Nam. H. Curtis has sold the Dighton
Republican, which he has edited for
two years, to rival newspaper.
Dighton, like hundreds of other Kan
sas towns, is too small to support the
newspapers saddled upon it and doub-
ling up became necessary. We wish
Mr.. Curtis success wherever he may
locate
