DR.. J.'S. Scripture, young physician
formerly of Clarksville, Iowa, but who
has just recently returned from work
as an assistant in the New York hos
pitfalls, was in the city this week and
has decided to permanently locate here
and will have offices over the j. H..
Luers Drug Cos. store. There is an
ample field here for an energetic pro-
gressive doctor, and especially for a.
skillful surgeon and DIR. Scripture is
reputed to fill the necessary require
ments. The doctor will be here in a
few days to commence his practice.
Mr.. A. R. McCook, in his remarks
introducing Hon. Fred E. White to
the largest Howard county audience
ever assembled in Lyric Hall, not only
did honor to the speaker, and to him
self, but crowned the party with glory
by the purity of language, the nobility
of sentiment, in which his words were
couched. twas not only splendid
introduction of Mr.. White to the as
sembled multitude, but it was equally
as good an introduction of AR. McCook
as a candidate for County Superin-
tendent. In deed, it is the first time
in the forty-two years we have lived in
Howard county there has been candi-
date in the county for that office pos
sessed of the character, the dignity,
the purity of thought and the marked
ability of A. r. McCook.
