Mr.. A. White, who has been farm

has never missed but one year in that |
time raising a good crop and that was
IN 1872 He likes Phillips county
very we'll.
Our home was made brighter and
more cheerful on Tuesday on recelv-

Are we going to have a celebra-
ton of the 4th of July in Phillips
burg? If so it is about time some
arrangements were being made. We
believe the general sentiment Is to
hold no celebration here this year.
Geo. A. Howard says this is go
ing to be a good corn year. He has
been here ten years and says Phillips
county has as few drawbacks as
Missouri or Iowa. 1t is one Of the
most healthful places he knows of.
"A party of eight or ten persons
from PhillipsDurg went down to the
Solomon to fish last Sunday. When
they arrived at the fishing place they
found they had no hooks or lines and
no bait. Well, perhaps it is just as
well, for the old saying is that fish
won't bite on Sunday anyway.
One of our prominent physicians
has recently had several bad dreams
about Phillipsburgs illustriOus Light

but we have not yet got permission to
. publish them. 1t would make you
; laugh clear down into your boots to
hear Doc tell those dreams.
As our Mr.. Rosenberg is going
. to leave for Europe next Sunday, we
will have a special sale, Saturday,
, June IA, for the benefit of our Gus
I toners. Yours respectfully,
ROSENBERG & MICHALIsKY,
