ments. The Lord pity such ninco m
poops.

Ira III. Clark, of the Hoisington

and brother of Nick Smith of the

o. j. Richards went to Hutchinson
to meet George II. Young,
who formerly lived here and was at
one time cashier of the Farmers &
Merchants bank. Mr.. Young sent
his regards to all old friends, and
that his time was too short
to allow his visiting Great Bend.
When Chester [. Long was here on
his last trip, the republicans met him
at the depot and escorted him up town.
That was all proper. But they put
him in a carriage with the president
of the Great Bend female suffrage
association-that was precarious.
People may have got the impression
that Chester was suffragist.
