G. N. johnson will leave on Satur>
day Of this week for Maintain, Col, to
be gone a couple of weeks during the
hot season
The trees in the north end of the
court yard park are making much
healthier growth this year than usual.
The roots have probably now pierced
through the layer of hard pan and
have now found permanent water.
The electric lights will take rest
for a couple of weeks, during harvest,
and during that rest new machine
will be put in to take the place of one
burned out last Tuesday night. Ev-
erything gives way to the wheat har-
vest.
One of our most successful farmers
suggests that when threshing begins
we will hear considerable complaint of
'sshrunken wheat" He says the wheat
ripened too fast, that more moisture
and less hot sun would have made it
fill much more solidly.
A visitor to our city says that if we
don't quit planting cottonwood trees
our reputation as comfortable town
will suffer. He says week or so ago
a man could not talk politics, preach
religion, or eat ice cream without hav-
ing a web of cotton woven over his
mouth as tight as wax.
Will W. Culver has bought the D.
Turner lumber yard and will conduct
it in connection with his elevator and
feed mill. Will has steadily advanced
in business way, and by honest and
square dealing, courteoues treatment
and christian kindness has gained the
lasting friendship of all our people.
Cards have been received in this
county announcing the marriage OF
Lincoln F. Gault to Miss Matte G.
Wootors, at Tacoma, Washington, on
June 81, 1892. Mr.. Gault has many
friensd here, he having been cashier al
the Santa Fe depot for some time.
The young couple make their home in
Tacoma.
Quite breeze was stirred uK
among Pawnee Rock people last weea
over local happenings of an alleged
shady nature. 1t appears that "botf
the pot and kettle were black" and al
hands concluded not to carry the wal
into court. Pawnee Rock needs more
TRUE morality and less pretentions O
holiness.
A s'harvest home picnic" has beer
talked of, to be held in Great Benz
after the harvest is over. 1t would bt
a good thing, and if properly con
Quoted would do much to put oul
town people and country people il
better and more social feeling. LIE
us hear some suggestions in regard t,
the picnic.
l lice is SHORT, and you offer
LIFE find your pocket-book
short-of funds. The best way to kee.
money in your pocket is to buy wher,
you can get things cheap; buy for cas-
and run no bills. The best place il

trail. A complete line of almost every
thing needed in housekeeping; ii
work done to order and all kinds c
repairing done.
