lady andone that any community should

till he gets at the facts In that case.

about the lowest price we have heard
quoted is fifty cents per head per month
and hard to find at that.

good hard and well earned cash, for
his stock are in fine shape.
F. M. Williams, who came here from
Sumner County last spring, has got

find that we can't keep all we would
like to have among us.
That petition for bridge across the
Medicine river south of Hazelton was
circulated here last week, and every
man that had an opportunity to sign
except one, put his name down without
any hesitancy. The people evidently
want that bridge and want 1t bad as "a
names were added here in less than q
half day.
