Waldo Cass was well pleased with
the result of his sale last week. AL

more than he expected. The sale

cred big sale either.

Joining the city and also the Collins
property and will In few days be a

wire cuts and some fence to repair no
damage was done.
Friday evening we drove over to B.

viewing 300 head of mighty fine cattle
that B. L. has on full feed, and it is
our opinion that he is one of the best
feeders in this part of the county.
James O'Connell, of Woods county,
was here Friday looking for rough feed
to take his cattle through the balance
of the winter.
A. j. Hargis sold, to be weighed at
Kiowa, some four or five hundred
head of cattle, and when 1t came
to weighing they could not agree on the
weights on account of one or both pair
of scales being out of shape and finally
the cattle were shipped to Wichita to
be weighed. Both railroads at Kiowa
have scales and each probably thinks
his is all right.
Mrs. Nation will have to get move
on her pretty soon or she will lose
some of her prestige at this point, for

We hardly ever hear her name MENTION
ed.
Saturday night while we we're being
accommodated by having our streets
