HOISINGTON.
From the Blade.
These hot days melt the news before
it reaches us.
A fine boy was born Saturday to Mr..
Mrs. Andrew Moser.
The editor saw a silver dollar yester-
of saucer.
If the fool killer would only come
around and hit some of our creaker5 ON
the head he would render great serv-
ice to the community.
You can't always judge man by the
clothes he wears. He may wear dia-
monds as large as goose eggs, yet owe
every man in town. Or had you ever
noticed this?
Often in our ramble over the city in
quest of news we meet the smell OF
chicken. Not that which usually comes
from the house wife's frying pan, but
stale dead scent which reminds one
of slaughter house or cannibal feast.
A man who owns farm, free from
membranes, is the happiest mortal
on earth; it will not break, like bank.
everything he sells off 1t, be it dozen
eggs, a pound of butter, steer or car
load of hogs, he receives the cash for,
be it much or little; he is the only man
who does strictly CASH. business.
4 newspaper has five thousand read
ers 20 one thousand subscribers. A
merchant who puts out thousand bills
gets possibly three or four people to
read them, that is if the boy trusted to
distribute them doesn't chuck them I'M
der the sidewalk. The hand bills cost
as much as half column of advertiS-
ment in the weekly newspaper. All the
women and girls and half the men and
| boys read the advertisement. Result:
| The merchant who uses the newspaper
has three thousand more readers to
each one thousand of the paper sub
scribers. There is no estimating the
amount of business that advertiser
brings to merchant, but that each 81
invested in advertising brings to the
investor somewhere from $40 to 800
worth of business there can be no
doubt.
| From the Dispatch
Better be without wheat crop as
with one at % or so cents bushel.
The county comes nearer being dry
in Il liquor sense. at the present writ
ing than it has been for loug time.
At the school meeting last week 0
Z. Putnam was elected treasurer, and

Mrs. VIM. Qoinlan and baby left this
morning for independence. Kansas
where they will visit relatives for the
next three months.
Little Tolbet, son of Mr.. and Mrs
Alex Scott, died Monday and was
buried Tuesday afternoon. The be
reaved family have the sympathy of al
in their affection.
Engineer Dan Healey pulled 202 liz
from Horace one morning last week IL
hours and 15 minutes and made six
teen stops. Pretty good for distance
of 1873 miles.
While fusion deals are talked of, why
would it not be a good idea for the
churches of many of the towns OF the
state to unite these hard times and
employ but one preacher.
The following teachers have beer
EN- ployed for our city schools: Prof
W. T. Clark, principal; Fred Luscilg
grammar grade; Miss Worrail, inter
mediate; Miss Ida Baker, primary.
People are not always what they
seem and sometimes those who carry
themselves highest are least to be
trusted a number of Hoisington PEG
pie feel the truthfulness of this state
me- Mt at the present time.
