Prairie chickens are numerous
about Cottonwood and the day be-
fore Thanksgiving could have been
seen perched upon the top of the
hotel
Our Thanksgiving turkey this
year when dressed developed into
Prairie chicken. Strange how
hard times seem to affect even the
feathered tribe.
We would suggest that the F. p.
establish an agency for legal blanks
at this place. Every few days the
town is being searched for some
standard blank and a large number
could be doubtless sold.

We are pleased to see the f. p.
denouncing the present mail facili
ties to the Prairie. Although Cot
tonwood is some trihe better
favored at the same time the irreg-

investigated thoroughly, and if the
present contractor canpot deliver
the mail on time it should be given
to some one who can.
Mr.. Thomas, formerly proprietor
Of the Genesee roller mill and now
hailing from Montana, was in town
a few days since. He expects to
return to Cottonwood in the near
future and will doubtless place
some investments in the town.
Mr.. Thomas is a live business
man and will be great addition to
our town no matter in what bust
ness he may establish himself.
