Our people who witnessed the chase
that took place in this town one day
last week. say it was quite lively and
interesting for few minutes duration.
but the weather being extremely hot
the BOYS only gave their spectators a
short heat, just sufficient to show they
/ had some speed when once rightly
nnder headwav and they further say
deputy Bush was not Glow on keeping
up the rear end of the race, and soon
halted the heers, then persusding
them that riding in top carriage on
hot day was far more pleasant and
comfortable then hoofing it, and the
boys we're convinced and went.
Now Bob. why walt longer? For
two years your crops have been
beautiful, last year the prices were
good and this year prices for wheat
are not bad considering the biz yield
to the acre; then why tarry longer?
Time may bring more poor crops, and
disaster; then take no chances in
further delay; look to the future and
prepare for worldly enjoyment while
youth and strength are still yours.
Just glance around and see how many
of your old comrades have passed
from single blessedness to double
blessedness 10 the last few years and
all seemingly happy. So will you be
if you do likewise.
La the jamboree that took place
here some days ago Doctor Atkins
driving team was taken from his
premises in the night by some mis- J.
creant and rode near HolsiDgton, then
turned loose to shift for themselves,
and were not found until late next
day, after having been taken near
the place where they were supposed
TO have been turned loose. The steal
ing and riding this team for many
miles under cover of darkness may
constitute crime which. if the guilty
parties we're captured, would very
likely eend them to a place where
riding stolen horses is not much in
fashion. Boys, better never borrow
without owners consent.
1t is but just to put in good word
for q young man when they are
worthy of it. John Yettner is the
hero and the one deserving of this
sendoff John is prime worker and
a number one hand at all kinds of
farm labor. Just now he has q job
cutting corn for a farmer near Hois
ington, in field on Banker Lin1er's
farm, the corn rows being one mile
long. Aud to prove this is no fad or
idle Boosting refer to Mr.. Linder or
FL. j. Wigton owner of corn. Now
here is what John does: From seven
a. m. It'll seven p. M. with one hour
off for dinner, he cuts and shocks six
acres of heavy folder, much. of 1t hav'
ing ears on half as long as a mans
arm. Who ever can beat this please
