The Women's Club of this city
held its eighth annual tea-party at the
residence of Mrs. p. d. Moore, on Cap

Mr.. w. H. Roberts are the only men
in the Republican ranks who come out
fairly and squarely and advertise
themselves as candidates for county
Offices. Perhaps other aspirants are

dark horses. Dark horses are not to
be relied on, however, in the long run.
The Northern Pacific are preparing
for a large fill on the mud flats in the

in town and country have seen fit to
copy the article entire is pretty good
evidence that the point was we'll
taken. He who is to manage the com.
