Our magnificent Universal sweat-pow-
er jobber has been kept buzzing the last
week, TO the tune Of about 250O iDpres-
sions an hour. This is the only job Of
flee IN the county, and our work and pri-
ces compare fayorably with those Of the
city.
School Clerk X. w. Cooke requests US
to notify all those who have not yet paid
their special school tax that the same
will be delinquent Sept. |, and after that
date ten per cent will have TO be added.
Pay up, boys, II won't make II any less
by waiting.
| s. s. Grider, Del Rice and Jim Cooke
all returned home this week FROM the
mountains near Austin, Grant county,
where they had been hunting and rusti-
eating few weeks. They had good
time, and relate some thrilling hunting
stories which, by the way, are pretty
hard 70 swallow.
DR.. j. A. Weldon, the Arlington dem
tist, was with rs this week, and has
been kept busy all the time. He will
leave here Sunday for Olex and Airing
ton where he has engagements 10 last
until Sept. 9th, when he will return to
Condor and remain two or three weeks.
He is first-class workman.
Thee are indications Of n wool scour-
| ing establishment being put In operation
at Arlington. Sheep men in that yicin-
| its realize the disadvantage they are un-
der by sending dirty wool TO market,
md believe they could sell their wool To
better advantage il it were clean, and
would not be under the necessity Of pay
ing freight on dirt, either.
What is the matter with the Austin
(tirant county, postotIice? All last sum
mer the GLOBE was sent weekly TO j. A.
| spaulding at that office, and he informs
us that II never was delivered 10 him.
II has been sent 10 him every week TO
that office this summer also, with the
same result. Tile p. NJ. oycrthere ought
10 be fired out and new one put in, for
a change.
We are indebted 10 Supt. Parker for a
copy Of the school apportionment for
this county. 1t reached us too late for
this issue, however. Condor is in the
lead with 13l scholars, our apportion-
ment being $25O.2i; next comes Airing
ton and Fossil each with l0S scholars,
app. sa05.2S; Lone Rock comes next
with 62 scholars, app. sllS.i2i Mayville
next, with GO scholars, app. $ll4,B0.
We understand several teachers have
applied for the principalship Of the Con-
don public schools, among them being
Supt Parker, j. II. Hill Of Lone Rock,
and Mr.. McMillin Of Sherman county.
We understand, the directors have not
yet decided upon any one. Miss Anna
Clarke OF Lone Rock has applied for the
| primary department. Later. Mr.. Par
ker has since been engaged to teach the
Fossil school.
Earnest Seekamp seems TO have got
ten his foot in IT, At least he has been
prosecuted for obstructinga public high
way running through his place near
Ajax. Mr.. Andrew Palmer Is the prose-
cutting witness, and the case was set for
hearing Monday, but was knocked out
owing to defect in making out the pa
pers. They took another heat on it and
the examination viii likely be heard
Friday or Saturday before Squire Clark.
Times-Mountaineer; Between the lst
Of August and the 18th OF September,
1 the postmasters mt county seats will, as
voluntary service, visit the several
postofiiees OF the different counties for
the sole purpose of gathering informa-
tion for improvements that may be made
to bring postmasters into closer relations
\ with each other and with the public, as
well as with the department, and to ele.
vate and improve the postal service ill
all its branches.
Plenty Of water has been found in the
various new wells which have just been
dug in different portions Of town--sufh.
cient to supply town five times the
size Of Condor. II some OF our citizens
will now stop their peevish, childish
jangling and pull together more harmo.

to divide up into d half-dozcn different
