Iona Beers, our hardware mer-
chant came down to the store Tues
day morning his face all aglow with
smiles that rlvaled the brilliancy of
the sun and it was all on account of
that big boy that came to his home

of his time and attention in its infant
days.

Merchant c. A. Heath returned
from his trip to South Dakota Tues
day noon. He seems very we'll i'm

it just as good as Iowa soil and will
perhaps in the near future buy land
in that northern country as he believ-
es there are great prospects for that
part OF the state where he was at.
Mamie Buckley, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Buckley, returned
to her home in Brayton Saturday

well-to-do farmer who recently sold
his farm, south of Oakfield and who
has been in South Dakota the past
week looking for land returned to his

chased any land, but is we'll satisfied
with the land and thinks it will pro-
duce good crops as is shown by the
one just harvested this fall.

had been present.

Brayton drug store, purchased the
hardware store formerly owned by
Iona Beers and will take possession
the last of this week. Fred will add
large stock of new goods to the al

then be ready to sell you anything
from single nail to the bill for that
new house you are thinking of build
ing and will make you prices that
are the lowest you can get anywhere,
considering the good quality of goods
he will carry.
