c. A. Lewis was up at Colby yes,
terday-
James Cole returned home from the
new country in Oklahoma Sunday
night. He brought back some very
fine views of the crowd at Ell Reno
and at Anadarko. He left Capt.
Tucker getting ready to go to Lawton.
Phil Afbaugh returned from Hast
ingS, Nebr., Saturday night where he
had been attending the races. His
trotting mare was entered and showed
fine speed, but owing TO bad luck did
not get a place. She was trained and
entered by Mankato parties.
This is the season that we are liable
to have cyclones and should you wish
to insure your buildings or stock
against such calamitieS, call on G. A.
Lewis. He has gilt edged companies
and can give you as low a rate as you
can get in any reliable company.
A letter to his family from D. S
MaxSon states that he is very favor
ably impressed with the country
around Grand Junction. He says they
raise almost everything there and
have an excellent market for it. Miss
Leo's health is much improved.
The game of base ball played be-
tween the Hillside boys and the Phil
lipsburg team in this city last Satur-
day was won by the visitors. A return
game will be played on the Hillside
diamond next Friday afternoon. A
dance will be given in the evening.
The HERALD editor and family are
under obligations to Thomas Wright
for some very fine roasting ears which
he brought over last Monday. Aside
from being one of the most popular
conductors on the road, Mr.. Wright
also knows few things about how to
raise a good garden.
Wise young men do not hunt for
wife on the streets, In the modest
secluSion of happy homes, helping at
the house work with mother, there
they seek them and there alone. The
young men that gadding girls catch
are not worth catching. Depend on
that young ladies.-Marion Record.
A few years ago there was a great
scare throughout the country about
the Russian thistle. People feared
they would over run the country. It
was, however, soon noticed that cat
tie would eat the thistle and SO the
fear subsidized. Now out in RawlinS
county it forms their forage crop.
Many farmers cut it and put it up for
hay.
A daughter of A. w. johnson who
lives out in Freedom township was
quite badly hurt in a runaway Mon
day morning. She was coming to
town with milk for the creamery
when the team became frightened
and ran away throwing her out and
severely Spraining her left ankle.
DR.. Wallace dressed the injury and
she is resting easy at present.
James Woods whose ad may be seen
in this paper has struck the proper
method in getting the peoples trade.
He offers to duplicate any prices found
in Sears Roebuck or any other catal-
ogue. Patronize him-you can save
the freight on your goods, get a better
article, have the advantage of exam
lining before you purchase, and besides
be encouraging home industry.
Grant Taylor and John Atkinson
came back from the promised land
last Friday night. They are quite
favorably impressed with the new
country although they were not lucky
enough to draw farm. John Lowe
returned Saturday afternoon. He too
thinks that is quite good country.
John bid in a business lot at Lawton
for $50 before returning from which
he expects to realize a handsome
profit.
Scott Handy and DR.. Burt were
in last Monday and informed the edit
or of this paper that at recent meet
ing of the WOodmen at Hillside, on a
unanimous vote, the use of the Wood
man hall was rendered the peoples
party commissioners convention that
is to be held this fall. The HERALD
believes the convention ought to be
held within the Third district and as
Hillside is first in the field they stand
a good show of getting it. Mr.. Handy
assures everybody concerned that
there will be plenty to eat and drink
on the grounds if it is held there; for,
he says, their wells have not gone dry,
and its just the time of year for spring
chickens to be ripe.
