Speed News.


the farmers have been greatly encour'
aged thereby
Wheat is still looking fairly we'll IN
our section and large proportion OF
corn is up and is a good stand, 30 that
II rain keeps coming we will have a
good yield of both.
The Swimming station will open up
with blood in its eye for business the
10th, would have started last Monday
but for Mr., Goble being called to
Beloit unexpectedly on business,
Ooule he have stayed one day longer
at this place he would have completed
the plumbing Of the machinery and
turned over the plant to Mr.. VIM.
Smith OF Glen Elder, Kansar, who has
located with us for the purpose of
conducting the skimming station for
the Jensen Creamery Co.
We can boast Of the finest and best
milk separating station IN Phillips
county. Come and look for your
selves If you doubt our upquestion-
able word,
MO Bailey is buying mules around
Speed and vicinity and will be for
sometime, we are told Quite num-
Der has already been purchased for
which liberal prices has been paid.
1t seems strange how everybody
likes us and especially our dear friends
in Speed, there it not single person
in this place but that thinks lots of us
and we like all Of them. We thought
that probably we had injured Dr.
Ohapmsn's feelings some in our last
article, but the DR.. tells US he still
thinks lots Of u.s.
Two trains came very near colllding
at this place since our last article
Marshall Green had his attention call
ed to the matter by Mr.. Larson, SO
Green informed us. We persume the
trainmen happened to think about a
switch being at this place as one Of
the trans sidetracked and let the
other one pass This simply illustrates
the oft repeated saying that trainmen
should have great presence Of mind
and no doubt some one of them hap
pened to think about their orders to
pass each other at this station This
incident reminds us of our uncle who
got shot In the mouth during the war
and thought in time to swallow the
ball and so prevented it passing back
through his spinal column and killing
him.
There is all kinds Of meetings held
at Speed every Sunday and people
who are inclined to to tend church
occasionally can come here and get
suited il they should be hard to please
in that lluO
DR. Chapman has cleaned up his
drug store since our write up of him
and made his place the most attractive
store IN Speed. The DR. keeps con-
stantIy on hand, a large and varied
stock of patent and proprietary medl-
Cines together with q full line of
chemicals and drugs most carefully
selected and kept, he also carries
large line of jewelry, druggist sun
dries, pants, oils, etc. Give the
doctor a call and you will agree with
us, he is the right man to trade with
in his line.
The next new business to start up
in Speed is barber shop We are
going to get our hair cut, but they
don't call us Johnny. Ignorance and
superstition go hand in hand and they
are doing quite business Of late, but
as usual no one is giving the matter
serious thought as it only answers
and keeps the town lively. Keep on
coming we will ante as long as you
want us to.
We understand A A Green will
personally conduct the post office at
this place in the near future. The
business done by the Office we per-
sumo is getting large enough to
Justify more attention paid to it than
was necessary few years ago. An
effort has been made to raise this Of
fee to a money order Office which will
still farther increase its duties and
receipts as well. We have had good
efficient service in the past and can
assure the patrons that pains will not
be spared to make it an up to date
Office in the future. XYZ
