flourish oftrumpets in that town few
weeks ago, has flunked out, the Time
having bought the plant outright. Th,
paper started with very strong backing
but found that the matter of "filling {
long. felt want was too expensive lux
ury to be long INDUCED in.
Last week Albert and Kitty Brad
bury were conveyed to the Polk institu
tion for feeble-minded children, where
| for season at least they will make theiI
home. Commissioner J. T. Carson ac'
companied the children to their new home
and reports that they seemed quite taken
with their surroundings. The institution
is a model of completeness and comfort,
aud the large band of children kept there
seem as happy as birds on spring NOR
ming.
When you are thinking of new
spring suit, just take another think, aud
after you have thought, go to f. Il. Dick,
the merchant tailor, and look at his new
samples for spring and summer wear,
aud leave your order for suit that is
made right and that will keep its shape
and always look right. Also take orders
for clothing made out of town, and If the
goods don't fit, I'll make 'em fit before
you get 'em. There's good reason TOR
ordering from a tailor. 1t
S. w. McCuen is in receipt OF letter
from Farmer Dean, who is at Beaumont,
Tex, siziug up the new oil territory. He
says there are twenty-five rigs erected in
sight of the big Guffy "gusher," twelve
of which are drilling, and three, he
thinks are below the gusher level with
out showing any signs of gushing. 1t is
his opinion that the people who are labor
ing under the delusion thai the Beaumont
field covers a vast lake of oil will be sad
ly disappointed. Btzzdrd.
As the years 60 by it is pleasing to
note that more farmers write letters on
| printed letter heads and have their cards
and envelopes. 1t was once thought that
no one could do this unless he was en-
gagged in the production ofsome specially
or breeding some pure blood farm stock
| No one believes that now. Every far ner
and every household from which any
correspondence is done should have prin-
ted note heads and envelopes, no matter
how few the letters written, it costs so
very little more Than the blank paper
that all can afford it, and the benefits
more than counterbalance the small ad-
dtional outlay.
The other day a commercial agent
who is somewhat of ventriloquist, was
having some fun with a little five-year'
old daughter of Landlord Weaver, at Ho-
tel Weaver, and pretending to whisper in
her ear, startled the little girl 10y making
a sound closely initiating cornet. He
explained that he had once swallowed =
horn and that was WHY he could make
that sort of noise. A little later, whil'
the girls attention was attracted IL
another direction, the gentleman imita
ted the mewing of cat. This was toe
much for the little Que, and with merry
twinkle she inquired, "Say, did yol
swallow cat, tooG'
