L. Jacobs, who has been in New York
City, for the past few months taking
in the market and buying fine lots of
goods for the New York Store, returned
to day and they are now making arrange
ments to move to their new location in
the opera house block.
Under the law it is now the time to
shoot deer and antelope, but one person
animals during the season, which lasts
until November 8. If you kill one Of
these animals, you might remember the
newspaper man, who has no time to go
shooting.
| Professor Ira NJ. DeLong and DR..
Arthur AllIn, of the State University at
Boulder were here last Saturday talk
ing up the advantages of tnat excellent
educational institution. They are both
very pleasant gentlemen and made
friends for themselves and undoubtedly
also for the University.
| DIR. e. Bently Dennis, of Keokuk,
Iowa, has been in town for several days
looking around the village and the sur
rounding country. He is very much
pleased with this locality, and will prob
ably locate here and engage in the prac
tice of his profession. He is pleasant
gentlemen and has high recommenda-
| tions as to his professional ability.
Little William Johnston celebrated
his 18th birthday by inviting about forty
| little tots to come and play with him
which they did, and had the biggest kind
of time from 3 o'clock until 8, on Tues
day afternoon. Master William receiv-
ed many nice little presents, and each
little one received small photo of their
little host, as future reminder of the
pleasant time they had.
Last Friday evening Justice g. w.
Heaton performed the ceremony which
made Miss Maud Watkins and Mr.. ID.
Upton happy couple. The marriage
took place at the residence OF the JUS
tice. The young people are well known
IN this vicinity, especially in the coun-
try north west Of Lamar. May their
welded life fulfill every promise Of its
bright commencement and may joy ever
attend them.
Mr.. l.. N. Stacher, Of Ottawa, Kansas,
stopped off here Sunday for short visit
with his nephew. l.. Writ Markham.
After having been shown around the
country, he remarked that although l..
Writ had written him repeatedly as to
the glorious possibilities OF Prowers
county, yet he, Mr.. Stacher, was free to
confess that the reality was greater than
the descriptions he had received. What
| do you think of that?
Everybody is complaining Of the flies.
They seem to be everywhere and screen
doors fail to keep them out OF the hous-
es. Flies may be all right and are prob
ably made for some beneticent purpose,
but they are too prone TO neglect the
things they should do any leave undone
the things they should do. Sticky fly
paper, poison fly paper, rough on rats
ahd other alluring traps fail to dimin-
| ish their numbers and even cuss words
fail to drive them away.
Schraeder, the divine healer, stopped
off here last Friday and cast his posters
around town. He showed himself upon
the streets and created some curiosity
by his long hair and strange costume.
However, after an interview with the
city authorities he concluded to not be-
stow any OF his healing qualities upon
the people here, and took the local
freight for the west. Divine healers
who charge an advance fee for an exhi-
bition Of their divinity, are not much in
favor in Lamar.
Last Thursday, some parties travel
ling through here thought they had n
race horse. And they had one, too.
Some OF our local sports thought diff
ferently for while, but latter on sor-
rowfully confessed that the race hoss
belonged to the strangers. In fact, the
horse from the country was in the race
only at the start, and the foreigner"
Just ran away from it. There ID an old
piece OF advise, which it will be we'll for
the boys to heed. "Look out for the
stranger who has scrub looking hoss
which he wants to race"
Last Sunday, at midday, at the resi-
dence Of Judge and Mrs. G. E. Billings
lea, their daughter Miss Anna, was mar
ried to Mr.. j. S. Chenoweth. Mr.. Cheno-
weth is one OF the most substantial
farmers IN the county, and has large in
