We have arranged with The Chicago
Weekly Inter Ocean whereby our readers
can secure that sterling good paper, to-

low price of sl.75 for one year. This is
a rare opportunity and should be taken
immediate advantage of.
The weather seems to have gotten up
on its good behavior again, after giving
us three or four days of wind and dust.
The spring time generally has more or
less disagreeable days, but it is to be
hoped that the weather man will not
try to even up for the extremely fine

talking about say that there is a very
good chance to strike oil in this vicinity.
