Que of interest and Importance, as Mr..

The annual state convention of coun-

beneficial and should belargely attend
ed. County Auditor A. f. Greenwaldt

tending to be present and assist in dis
cusing the questions of interest to
every officer who desires to give able
service to the people of the county who
by their ballots, have honored them

J.. Friend and son will soon have
their large store filled with an entire
new stock of goods complete in every
line. There will be no old goods and
everything that is offered for sale will
be the newest and latest. Many lines
are already complete and other lines
will be filled as fast as the goods can
be obtained and shipped from the fac
tory. With full and complete line
of clothing and their reputation as
clothiers no one doubts but that their
store will continue to enjoy the usual
trade.
J. f. Russell's store is busy place.
Twenty people are busy at work up
stairs and down. The carpenters have
changed the appearance of the up
stairs so that it begins to look like a
store room. The broad stairs leading
up stairs are in and one feels that
when completed it will seem like one
big room. The stairs do not mar the
appearance of the first floor. While
the improvements are going on the
large clerical force are busy listing the
goods for invoice which will be COM
pleted by the first of the coming
month.
(. We recently received long letter
from 7. B. Northup who at one time
was one of the leading teachers of the
county and was once an aspirant for
the nomination of county supernten-
dent of schools, but who is now teach
ing school at Coyville, Kansas. He
reminds us in his letter Of the days
when Bill Mallory shouted: ''Cleve-
land, Hendricks and Reform!" which
was the democratic battle cry of the
day. 1t was received at a time when
our columns were so crowded that it
lcould not be published. 1T contained
mention of many things of interest in
days past and gone.
