Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1893-06-29

The democrats held rousing COM

locality win be short on roughness the
coming winter. 1t would be a good
plan to keep this in mind and provide
for shortage.
Our sincere thanks are hereby ex-
tended to the many kind offices of
friends and neighbors during the long
sickness and death Of our beloved wife
and mother.

Harrison administration, and hence
has no use for democrats or democratic

Ebe Ciafiin Banner nominates Dick
Bosse and Press Upper to succeed
themselves on the republican ticket
this fall, but says nothing about Geo.
Spencer. How is this, Oscar? Is

well for people to watch their stables
and pastures with more vigilence, as
there are reports of horse stealing from
every part of the state. There are
