Whenever you feel like enjoying
some first class music just call down

music dealer, Mr.. f. M. Dawdy, had
pushed his trade so hard that he finds
1t necessary to keep travelling sales
man In northern Kansas, until we saw
the Tribune of Tuesday.
1t is said that the dog that bit JEFF
Hurt, few days ago died very soon
afterwards. We are not exactly in
formed that it was from the effects of
the bite but presume there was a close
connection between the bite and the
dogs death.
Who knows what has become of our
Erie correspondent? He seems to have

Gus a salary as attaches to a TIMES
correspondent.

What is the matter with the high
school pupils of late? We can't hear

work and drop all foolishness?
Freemans old stand is being fixed
up again and got in shape for another
tenant. That corner has seemed rath-

in the number of teams and people
along that block since the change took
place.
We have been informed that Bro.
Allison is offering the Sentinel for
sale since the election. If that be
true, there is splendid opportunity
for some good Pop who knows all |
about running the government to
tackle the Sentinel and see if he can
run newspaper,
Mrs. Retta Allison, living north
vest of town is quite poorly. She has
been failing for some time past. Mrs.
Allison has the consumption. A few
aides drove out from town Sunday to
'isit her. 1t seems hard that so good

iethOdist church so much shrewder
