gA turn in affairs at the Dunlavy
hardware store has put A. F. Hart, in
charge of affairs and l.. r. Malott,
behind the bookkeepers desk. Both
gentlemen are admirable business men
and will conduct the business of the
large store in a most straightforward
and progressive manner.
The Quick Meal gasoline stove
handled by Shockey & Snider for four
years has never failed to give satisfac-
ton. Stiff
B9 Eureka township in the southern
part of Saline county voted bonds for a
sorghum mill last week and the Gyp-
sum Valley Echo is more than happy.
1t is undoubtedly better to bond COM
munity (if there is any bonding to be
done) for a practical encouragement of
diversified farming than any other.
The Eli riding plows at Shockey &
Snider's. Farmers, look at them be-
fore purchasing. The Improved Buck
eye churn sold by Shockey & Snider is
a veritable boon to butter makers. 1t
is unexcelled for butter-making, at
Shockey s. Snider's.
GA number of Dickinsonians are
making preparations to attend the an
nual meeting of the National Educa.
tional association in Nashville, Tenn,
July 16th-20th. Exceedingly low rates
will be given over all the railroads and
an exceptional opportunity offered to
visit the South even if you do not wish
to attend the sessions of the associa-
ton.
@We give today the statement of
the city treasurer regarding the city's
financial condition, as read before the
last council meeting. 1t will be read
with interest, as it shows not only the
receipts and disbursements of the past
quarter but also the bonded indebted
ness CT the municipality, the warrants
outstanding, etc. The report is very
complete and comprehensive one.
Smokey & Snider's is the place t
get garden seeds. Call quick before
their stock is gone.
gAnother good stock shipment for
the Belle: R. E. Brightbill, who came
out from Lebanon, Pa, a few weeks
ago, attracted by the reputation of
Abilene for fine stock. sent out over
the Rock Island last night to his home
a carload of fine horses. When Penn
sylvania, Louisiana and Washington
Territory come to Dickinson county
for horses, it means that this section
can equal any in the nation in the rails
ing of fine stock.
saw. s. Miller, an energetic young
farmer of Cheeyer township, had quite
an exciting battle the other day with a
monster rattlesnake. His snakeship
chased Wally all over an eighry-acre
field and it was only after bringing as
sistance that the reptile was killed. 1t
measured Is feet from tongue to point
OF rattlers, which were 26 in number.
Rattlers are becoming so scarce in
Kansas that the sight of one usually
crestes quite disturbance in the
nefghborhood.
Shocksy & 6aider have the Cassaday
plow for sale. They also keep a full
line of repairs.
