iRIoBNT REFLECTIONS.


The family Of District Clerk'elect
Halleck came up from Herlngton today
TO make their home here.
Hopes schools have an enrolment

cipal Halls management.
-Abilene's caramels are having a
great run In the towns in this part OF
the State. One salesman sold 1000
pounds in the past month.
ID. d. Horpaday has the position OF
bond clerk In the state superintendents
ONCE. 1t will be his duty to pass on
the validity OF school bonds and draw
$1,000 year salary.
The only places in townwhere suit
able stocks OF Christmas presents are
kept are those advertising in the RE
FLECToR and at such stores you will
And new and attractive stocks from
which 10 choose.
Good & Co. will occupy the old
Hamaker stand after Jan. /. This
Arm has rapidly come to the front and
has kept itself before the people by
Manager Hawks unique advertising
Printers ink pays,
The River Brethren are sending
out missionaries. Samuel Zook, his
son Christian, Eli Hoffman and John
Forney left here Nov. 30 and are now
on the Pacific coast hunting up the
scattered Brethren and preaching the
gospel wherever convenient.
Ed. Little's younger brother, BIZ,
who doesn't take much stock in poll
tics but delights in the rasp Of wood
saw has piled up $4,000 this year in
the dry goods business In Oklahoma
and that's more than Ed. will make II
he stays In Cairo till the sacred cows
GENE home, TX. q. Star.
Manchester people have great luck.
While WILDER Flora and John Arnold
were out hunting Saturday, Arnold fell
suddenly through the snow 40 feet into
8 feet of water. AS he went down his
gun was accidentally fred and the shot

Neither Of the boys was hurt.
From all the reports going the
rounds Of the press Dillon may be
expected to DO the coming town of
south Dickinson. 1t is said that build
ings are being removed from Hope to
that city. A few years ago the contrary
was true. - Enterprise journal.
Enterprise is bound to keep before
the people. According to the journal
1t has man who boasts that he heard
Mrs. Lease make her maiden speech;
that he has met the husband OF this
distinguished lady, that her little girl
has played in his lap aud that her Oldest
son courted his daughter.
--Abilene's merchants do nearly all
the advertising In the papers outside
OF Abilene. The result is that almost
all the best trade of the county comes
to Abilene. II wouldn't be so II Abb.
lene's merchants were not good adver
tisers. The merchants of other towns
would be wise to appear in print
oftener in their home papers. Enter
prise is an exception to the above as
the merchants there occupy the columns
OF the journal.
There is an amusement scheme on
foot that will make lot of fun for the
young folks. 1t is a skating rink IA
real one with real ice. 1t is proposed to
take large'tent, perhaps the merry
go-ronnd tent, and put 1t over level
piece of ground which will be flooded
at night and allowed to freeze. BY
judicious arranging such scheme
could be made to pay, Cold as 1t Ia
there is no good skating in the vicinity
and a suitable rink would be patronized
at such rate that the manager would
get rich at once.
We hope the Dickinson county
fellows feel better now. Ever since
the county was settled they have been
baeang because they had no State
officer. Now the State treasurer and
State superintendent have appointed
deputies from that county. Two depu
ties ought to be as good as one chief
As all the deputies have not beer
appointed yet Dickinson still has
show for more favor. -[Sallna Journal
The only fault with your proposition
is that II isn't 80. One Of the deputies
we didn't get and the other onl!
resided here a few months six year
ago. II will take more than that /,
satisfy Dickinson.
