DR.. Brothers is now cozily located
in his neat and coy drug store, which
would do credit to a much larger
burg than ours. It is lighted by a
gas plant. Gas is very cheap and
plentiful in Agra just now. If it
could all be utilized as the doctor has
arranged no one would be CROPPING
about in darkness. However, one
wise provision in nature insureS safety
from explosion as long as the safety
valve is open.-Agra cor. in Kirwin
Independent.
J. D, Roller and G. c. Mills of Atcll-
ison. two Missouri Pacific railroad
men, friends of d. w. Mutt of Speed,
accompanied the latter to this city
yesterday. They were up in the vi
cinity of Speed on hunting expedi-
tion. They bagged lO2 birds Monday,
and came over to the county seat yes
terday to see a good town, and cele-
brate their skill as nimrodS. This
Office was favored with a brief but
pleasant call. They left brace of
very fine chickens to remind the edi-
tor of their visit. Thanks, gentlemen,
come again.
The shirt waist man and the net
waist girl go hand in hand today, and
the people year after year keep throw
ing their clothes away. The coat,
the vest, are laid to rest, and where
is the fancy shawl? And clothes get
fewer and thinner, what will be the
end of it all? Oh what will the shirt
waist man take next from the things
he has to wear? And what will the
net waist girl throw off from the
shoulders now half bare? The shirt
waist man and the net waist girl go
rOllicking down the way. Have we
started trend that's going to end in
the old fig leaf some day.-Ex.
Mr.. Fred Hickok, of Honolulu,
Hawaiin islands, has been in the city
several days this week, meeting old
acquaintance and attending the re-
union. In '87, Fred was type setter
in this office, but since that time he
has followed the business in most of
the large towns of the central west
and Pacific slope. Two years ago, he
went to Hawaii and is SO well pleased
with the islands that he will return
their next month. He will be &C
companied by Prof. E. 81. Whitney,
who expects to find health, wealth
and happiness in that much-praiSed
country. City Democrat.
j. E. Garner (Jim) who, some TWEEN
ty years ago was cutting bait around
the ''iSland," and who, later, gradual
ed from the Office of the Downs Times
first class printer, and who still
later, edited at different times, sew
eral important newspapers in Kansas,
is now editor and proprietor of the
Cimmeron Valley Clipper, at Coyle,
Oklahoma. This week we received
from him bag of about the finest
PCdCuSO VIC OfS1 odWa G1S pIOuuCU VI
that enchanted land. They would
measure about 81 inches in circum-
ference and were rich, juicy and finely
favored. Jim must be so happy there
that he will never want to die, hoping
to go to better place.-Downs Times.
J. D. Couch is receiving daily large
shipments of poultry from the Central
Branch towns. Mr.. Couch has the
enterprise to get out and rustic bust
ness, besides he understands the
poultry business SO well that he can
offer better prices than his COMPETE
tors over on that line. One Kirwin
man had the audacity to threaten
Mr.. Couch for tresspassing on his ter
ritOry, and finding his bluff would not
work, wrote to the house which Mr..
Couch deals with and tried to have
them scare him off. Such methods
as that are contemplate, and we are
pleased to say the Phillipsburg poul-
try men do not Stoop to methods of
that kind, but they keep on getting
the business because they give their
patrons the best prices for their poul-
try.
