In issuing a call for the county
mass convention the committee made
a mistake last week by saying Saturday
May oath" which should have been
May 26th. The day designated for the
holding of primaries in the several
townships was also made enormously
to read May ''22'' where it should have
been May oath. Remember the dates;
May 10Th for the county delegate con-
vention; and May oath for the holding
of primaries.
The county clerk has received the
assessment roll returns from all except
five townships, namely: Medicine
Lodge, Kiowa, Sharon, Elwood and
McAdoo. The population in townships
from which the clerk has received re-
turns, shows an astonishing decrease;
being 1899 for the year '93, and 3OO1 for
'94. 1t is expected that the five not yet
in, will show heavier loss in proper
ton, due to the large migration from
the cities. However, parties are immi
grazing 10 our county from the East,
and it will be but short time until the
loss will be made up.

plenty good material to make one and
II the boys will drop all their little is
sues and work together for the interest
of the band their aim will be accomplish
ed with little trouble. The boys have
ordered u few pieces of music for Dec
Grafton day and offered their services
