most made her wish to come back
here to live.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Hover expect

Springs where they will make their
future home and where Mr.. Hover
will engage in the dairy business.

have them to leave here, but un-

As an evidence of the activity in
the real estate market in this county
during the past year it is an item to
state that the work of the county
clerks Office has at this date more
than paid the salary and expenses

a democrat and not fusionist.
W. R. Logan, of the Logan Invest
ment Company, spent Thursday and
Friday of last week inspecting prop.

where.

Robert Oxnard and Jas. Oxnard we're
driven ont to inspect the reservoir
system yesterday by A. E. Bent.
On their return quite crowd of La
mars business men met them at the

of the greatest experts of Europe

them, and his report was that the
Arkansas valley could not be equal
ed for the sugar industry, and that

be no question of the correctness of
