Now is the time of the year to paint
but it's no use of painting unless you
use first class paints. You can get
what you need at Gleason's
The sociable given by the Catholic
ladies at the parsonage Sunday was
well attended and much enjoyed.
Over 800 people were visitors at the
parsonage during the afternoon and
evening and the good things disap-
peared with Tightening like rapidity.
Dinner and supper was served and ice
cream held sway all afternoon.
The Tower Journal sarcastically
requests the Ely boys to practice up
their base ball and shooting propen-
stiles before next Sunday when the
Tower ballists and shootists will be
in this city to try conclusions with
our boys. We are prepared for you
and promise to entertain you right
royalty. Come ahead.
The rain last evening was godsend
this country, both for agricultural
purposes and to quench the large for
est fires which have been doing meal
culable damage to large tracts OF
standing timber in this vicinity. The
Lonstorf property west of town was
largely damaged. The owners had at
one time been offered 81, 200 for the
timber.
Gleason's is headquarters for every
thing in the furniture line. Any

The Cardo company closed three
nights engagement in this city Sat-
urday evening to poorer houses than
the merits of the show would warrant.
Some of the features were remarkably
strong among which we cannot fail
TO mention the two Orvilles in their
magic, yentriloquism and legerde-
main; the Brandons in their sketches;
Don the chalk artist and Bavies the
con ortionst. The latter was exceed
ingly good.

good for a season Of activity. He is
the pusessor OF IA valuable claim adj
joining the Lucky Coon mine from
which he expects satisfactory results
