heartfelt thanks. We were fairly
beaten, now let us pull off our coats
and give the ticket nominated rous-

In our zeal TO tell our readers OF
the good times now at hand, we stat
ed last week that Theo. Br9cken got
80 cents per bushel for his wheat on
track here. We were misinformed.
He sold his wheat on track at Kansas
City and was paid 831 cents. This
correction is made owing to the fact
that our former statement did an
injustice to our local buyers Mr..
Bracken paid off an indebtedness
on his farm with the proceeds of this
crop.
Among the throng here Tuesday
