Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1893-05-18

end, KaS.
Business men should learn by Tues
days experience that there's plenty of
money in this county, if they will go
after it. (Now is the time to adver-
tise.)
Say, Mr.. Kicker, Is the ground too
wet for putting in corn? And are you
not afraid the "long wet spell" will
rust the wheat, or make 1t grow too
rank?
The city council has purchased 500
feet more of fire hose, which has been
received and is new ready for use.
It will add greatly to the efficiency of
the department.
Has there ever been day, in the
last twelve years, when Great Bend
was "unjointed"-i. g., without joints?
No, and there never will be under
the present law.
The country lads and lassies enjoyed
a very pleasant dance at Alliance hall,
Friday evening last. The farmers
young folks are bound to be merry, in
spite of the gloomy crop outlook.
Rev. F. G. Overbaugh, of ClaHin,
and Miss Addie Aldaker, of Hoising-
ton, were married Wednesday, the
18th, at the home of the bride. The
DEMOCRAT extends congratulations.
The Denver News says: "Dollar
wheat will be the standard before long
the crop reports from Europe indi.
cate it." If the prediction be true
Barton county farmers will be in the
swim.
Several of the musically inclined
young men of the city met last Thurs.
day and organized brass band. They
will proceed to pump wind and awaken
the echoes preparatory to playing
something.
We have few Sample Universal
Cook Stoves, and also the famous
Dangler "Surprise" gasoline stove
which we offer at bargains as long as
they last. Every Stove warranted.
GREAT BEND IMPLEMENT Co.
Will Culver has lately built large
addition to his elevator, and now has
everything in much better shape TO,
handling wheat. He does not think
farmers will be asked to sell wheat al
the present low prices much longer.
The singing jackass at the show
Tuesday may not have had thorough
musical training, but when it comes to
reaching "high G" and sweeping the
cobwebs from the very top of the scale
he can put to shame our Great Bend
amateurs.

A Homestead township farmer, Mr.
Townsend, told us Saturday that be
was up in Russell county last week,
and one farmer there told him be
would not give 1000 bushels of wheat
for all the wheat that will be raised ir
that county this year.
q. L. Jones, of the Cheyenne Bot
toms, was in the city Saturday. Mr.
Jones says he has corn up three inches
high, and growing nicely. He hal
built large fish pond, or lake, ane
promises his friends boat ride wher
they CO lie to see him.
Promptness, courteousness and {
studied effort to please the genera
public is the secret of success of tn {
Couk & Whitby show, and these valu
able traits are all admirably rep
resented in Mr.. Willis Cobb, the press
representative of the show.
nj. j. R. Hall and Miss Maggie
Livesay, both of near Galatia, COM
bined business with pleasure, Tuesday
and not only attended the show, but
took out marriage license in order tina
they might join fortunes under tn
same tent at an early date.
A week or 80 ago DEMOCRAT sub
scriber put two lines in the paper say
ing he wanted to buy cow. He got &
cow two days after the ad appeared
bu. since that time six different mer
have been around to sell cows, ant
two others to buy cows. 1t pays t.
advertise.
