Rev. W. A. Crawford Given q Recep.
ton by Methodists.

The NJ. +. church, under the man
agement of the Ladies' Aid society,
gave the pastor, Rev. W. A. Craw-
ford and family most enjoyable re-
ception Friday evening at the church.
The Sunday school room was used as
a parlor and an appropriate program
was given in the audience room.

re;itations; there was music by a
double duet and then Rev. Crawford
feelingly and in a most felicitous
manner responded to the welcomes

evening was very pleasant for all.
Rev. Crawford has made hosts of
friends in this city and his ministry
here promises to be very successful.

special act the legislature has explicit

be body corporate and shall possess
the usual powers of corporation for
public purposes and may sue and be
sued and be capable Of contracting and

BUSINESS IS BOOMING.
G. W. Parker Has to Enlarge His
Mandatory.

The amusement enterprises manu-
featured by G. W. Parker are proving
so popular that our young townsman
has been compelled to enlarge his
mandatory on southside to twice its
former size and increase his force of
workmen to five, all OF whom are now
kept busy. More will probably be
needed yet. He has this spring sold
eight shooting galleries, the last one
going to Minnesota this week for 1925
spot cash, Mr.. Parker's galleries and
merry-go-ronnds are always as re-
presented and that makes them sell.
He is doing good thing for the town
in increasing his facilities and num-
Der Of employees and incidentally is
piling up wealth rapidly. Energy
and business ability win every time
and Mr. Parker has proved it. Visi-
tors to his shops receive a hearty
welcome and it is well worth while to
call.

A Real Humorist.

Puck and Judge are in it no more
as humorous publications. The News
has succeeded them. This week it
lists up non-partisan candidates thus:
&c. Folk, Democrat; c. E. Rugh,
Democrat; J. A. Russell, Democrat; J.
d. Cramer, Democrat; M. B. Fulton,
Democrat; JIM. Gleissner, Democrat;
W. H. Anderson, Democrat" If any
one Of these gentlemen has voted any
thing but the Pop ticket since 1890
we will give him medal on applica.
ton. 1t lists A. W. Rice as Repub-
lican, yet he voted for Bryan and the
whole Pop ticket and makes no pre-
tensions of being Republican. Does
the News think it can fool the people
of this town?

mother, George Jones, Nels Sherman,

PAYING OFF DEBTS.
Abilene Banks Say That the Good
Work Progresses,

In one bank of this city was de-
posted this week $4,000 to pay off
mortgages on Dickinson county
farms. In the same time nearly as
much was deposited for purchase Of
lands here. That is going on all the
time and it is doing Dickinson county
good. The cattle and hog men have
all prospered this winter where good
management was used and they, are
feeling well this year. Dickinson

About the Campaign.

The Pops want the Republicans to
be non-partisan but they urge every
Pop to stand by the Pop ticket.
Few ladies will vote the Pop ticket.
Populism is not their kind Of politics.
What reforms has Mr.. Folk ever
advocated
What kind of sidewalks did Mr..
Folks administration give usP
Let the Republicans stand together
as the Pops are doing and they are
all right.
"Mr Folk is broad-minded, gener-
GUS" declaims his organ, the News.
Did he show observation-disclosures when
he appointed election boards made up
almost exclusively of Pops and in
GLIDING Pop candidates and strikcrsp
Do you call that generousP
The News proudly lists up r. A.
rown an d c. A. Hodge on Its ticket
as Republicans. 1t well knows and
the whole gang well knows Chat they
have no sympathy with the Pop out
fit. These two nominees OF the Re-
publicans we're endorsed because after
hunting high and low for some one to
run against them none could be
found. 1t made no difference whether
the place was left blank or the Repub-
lican nominees were endorsed Hodge
and Brown had a walkaway anyhow.
Don't be silly enough to try and make
virtue Of necessity.
According to his organ the News,
Mr. Folk has only run part Of the
city's affairs. This town wants
man big enough and brainy enough
to look after all the city's interests
as would Frank Murphy.
The Pop candidates are begging for
votes "because we are for free sill.
ver,' as they say. Why not drag in
the Cretan war and the Cuban war
and the arbitration treaty also.
What the Pop candidates advocate:
Free silver, free trade, Fiji island
autonomy, a railroad to the moon,
sub-treasuries.
What Abilene thinks 1t needs: Good |
sidewalks, honest government, econ
omical management, waterworks
