home.
The Daily Item mas taken upon itself
to roast w. 81. Kerr for expressing his
views through the columns of the coun-
ty papers. Wonder if the Item would
permit Mr.. Kerr to defend himself
through its columns?
Editor Miller of the Hoisington Dis
patch. . very pleasant young man,
dropped in to make the DEMOCRAT Q
call last Friday morning. on his way
east over the Santa Fe. Call again,
and lets get better acquainted.
Charley Cake whites from Maryville,
Mo-, for q copy of the DEMOCRAT,

Great Rend. As he Is from Missouri,
he may be brother to Johnnie Cake
therefore we will give him Q hearty
welcome.
Hon. Tom Moseley, of st. John, was
transacting legal business in Great
Bend, Friday. Mr.. Moseley says that
the Findley drag metz did not win

And the boys are happy. An up.to~
date furnace to heat the branding
irons, 100 horse power dynamo to
make the tightening and q padded
cell for the goat will be the next inn
provements they will put in.
A woman-or a man either for that
matter-who will curse and swear and
use vulgar language on the streets, 20
the insult of any decent people who
may be passing, ought to be run in. -
and that right quick. THERE'S entirely
too much of that kind of business of
late-and it is growing worse every
day.
In mentioning the State Creamery
Mems Assoc; alton meeting last week
we were in error in stating that
"Henry Meyer won End and D Hall
3rd prize on best creamery butter

awarded the gentlemen in THE butter
