William Cummins, young man from
Missouri who is breaking horses for
Lewis Richardson east If town, came to
Leon Saturday and after filing up on
bug juice imagined he was regular bad
man from the wild and woolly west. He
rode bis broncho up apd down Main
street about seven O'Clock running into
teams and cursing and yelling tina,
there was not enough men in Leon to
take him. About that time Sheriff John
Burns came up town and as quick as he
could get near Cummins he yanked him
out Of the saddle In great shape, remark
ing that it did not take half man to
arrest such fellow. Cummins was
very indignant and demanded to know
who John was, saying he was not the
town marshal and had no right to arrest
him. But that made no difference to
John and without telling him who he
was he marched the aforesaid COW boy
up before Mayor Woodland who fined
him SIS and trimmings, amounting to
$685.. In default of payment Cummins
went to Jail, but after spending the
night in cell he dug up S. Sunday
morning to apply on his fine and he
was released. The last seen of him he
was riding his broncho eastward but he
was very quiet about it and seemed glad
to get out OF town.

Spring buying will result from spring
advertising. An advertisement in a
good medium widens your market.
You can't do justice to good goods with
poor ad vertising: Every advertisement
is its own argument for the value of
publicity. In pushing business adver-
ii singis the pivot on which that BUSH
ness swings. First class advertising
gives 3 first class merchant a chance to
sell first class goods. The man who
wants. to sell things accompanies his
purpose by telling about what he has to
sell. Let the good words about your
stock be the seeds you scatter on the
public field Of desire to insure the great:

several days in advance Some adver-
tisers never have their copy ready until
