there was hled with petition for
the probate thereof, very unique
instrument intended for a will. Sylvester
Meyer, a wealthy ranchman. died at his
ranch last week and a few hours before his
death, realizing his critical condition and
wishing to dispose Of his property, he called
upon a friend there to draw up a will. The
result of the combred efforts Of several per-
s5no was the following, which the heirs now
seek to have probated:
DAVIS RANCH, Wyo., March 30, 1885,
l, Sylvester l.. Meyer, do hereby bequeath
to my wife Florence Meyer and my brother
Elonzo Meyer all Of my real and pusnell

Since he could not write, his mark was
placed at the bottom AS there is no con-
test over the disposition of the estate the
will will probably be probated.

Your O,rn Towe First.

We may honestly differ in mat
ters of politics and religion, but
there is no room for difference of
opinion in the matter of the plain
duty of every citizen to stand by
home Industries. "Patronize
home institutions should be the
motto of everyone, and if it were
strictly followed what an i'm
provement would be seen, Let
everybody with a dollar to spend
remember that every. dollar
spent at home helps to swell the
volume Of currency in local
channels of trade, and every in
terest in the town, and every
dweller in it is benefited by the
impetus given to local trade by
plenty of money circulated. Pat
ronize home merchants and man
ufacturers and be willing that all
should receive a fair profit for
their labor. Society is a part
nership Of interests, in which all
are entitled to receive a share of
the profits, and in advancing the
common welfare, the day laborer
and the money lender are alike
under obligations to do their
share.
