Excitement over municipal election

Excitement over municipal election
isn't running high.
Theron Creveling, the grocer, was
down from Carroll over Sunday.
Consult your own interest and see
John Scott about clothing for men and
boys. Some very choice bargains.
Call on John Scott in VIM. Cloughly's
building and examine clothing stock and
prices. Some rare bargains are offered.
The new style of derby hats for gen.
tlemen is decidedly English, but it is
said that they tit the American head in
great shape.
Mr.. +. @. Jackson has an advertise
ment elsewhere. He is a resident Of |
Atlantic, known as reliable dealer
and will bring only first class and late
style goods. Look for him Saturday
and afterwards in the old postotiice
building on the north side of Broadway.
Golfers Refined Minstrel Co. attract.
ed an assemblage that left something
over u hundred dollars at the door.
The company has been favored by large
audiences where ever it has appeared.
Notice that word favored. The public
was yearning for something in the line
of minstrelsy, 1t isstill yearning. The
company is composed of gentlemen,
The annual election of officers for the
Uniformed Rank, Knights of Pythias,
resulted in the following selections:
j. A. Nash, Sir knight Captain; j. A.
Wheatly, Sir knight Lieutenant; John
G. Dawson, Sir knight Herald; A. l.,
Viewer, Sir knight Recorder; Ralph
llenin, Sir knight Treasurer; John
Welghtoh, Sir knight Guard; Amos
Teakle, Sir knight Sentinel.
A murder at Griswold last week was
committed by one who had been drink
ing whisky, and the man who sold it
was arrested and placed under $3.50
bonds. The other bootleggers and pre-
prietors of holes in the wall are now
quaking In their boots, for the people
of Griswould with but fow dissenters
are on their trail. When the enormity
of the traffic is so glaringly exposed
there are few to uphold it.
After mature deliberation State Supt.
Sabin recommends to public school
authorities that pupils be interested In
planting and cultivating trees, shrubs
and flowers upon school grounds, as a
means of intoxicating practical ideas rs
to their culture as well as for the pur-
pose Of identifying the grounds. II is
capital idea, although the struggle be.
tween the tutor, the posy bed and the
incorrigible small boy would be an
eternity of war.
Dropping into the gallery Of Artist
Harper the other day we found him In.
tently watching n five dollar gold piece
which he had placed In small quantity
of nitro muriatic acid. Presently the
gold began to flake of and dissolve in
the solution, which dissolution was con
tnued until complete. The artist stat.
ed that he used the solution for toning
Photographic prints, and that five
dollar gold piece was used up every
month. A great many mechanics and
artisans will congratulate themselves
that such expensive chemicals are not
required In all lines.
Much of the Importance Of the cen
sus work depends upon the accuracy OF
the figures submitted by local authori
ties to those who have In hand the
work of compilation. The statistics nj
to wealth, indebtedness, taxation ant
county finances in general will reflect
more or less credit upon the count!
whose conditions are set forth. TIT
statistical work for this county Ii II
the hands of Treasurer Doak and h,
will be compelled to call for assistance
from other departments. All VIII
shall be in any way interested shoul'
give the matter their best attention
; for by so doing they may render tn
county valuable and lasting service

Q Some weeks ago Mrs. T. II. Wilso

them to the full extent of the law.
