last week, which was very fortunate
to the readers OF this moral sheet.
Sig Jacoby. our popular merchant,
took sudden trip to Pueblo last
week to visit. friends and prospective
relatives.
No. Jessie, that noise you hear
over towards Galatia is not the n. Y.
L. G. & L. R. R. Il must be some
thing else.
To prove that there is nothing in
mana name we will cite the fact that
Mr.. Holler of our sister city Hoising-
ton, IS the quietest man in it. What
better proof do you want?
For the information of our Walnut
Valley friend we will say that Galatla
is very proud of the Pizinger Bros.
Orchestra, and we'll they may be.
Our only regret is that we haven't
one as good.
We now have a prospect for a
drug store in the near future. 7. F.

The state board of railroad
assessors passed through our burg
Monday assessing the Missouri
Pacific property. We wonder if they
took time to go up over the N. Y. L.
G. & L. which after being interpreted

Banker Taylor and Agent Nc
lines attended the Ellinwood-Hois-
ington ball game last week. They re-
port Charley Colbert as doing the
only top-notch playing of the day.
Gully is one of our ex-players and our
club lost a good man in losing him,
but he demanded too much salary.
We hope he don't read this.
Our ball team will battle for
diamond supremacy with either
Pawnee Rock or Heller next Satur-
day. If game is arranged with our
friends from the Rock it will in all
probability be pulled off at Albert,
that being the nearest the half
distance point. Here's hopin' that
our fellows will be the victors.
Peter Brack, our banker and
merchant king, left on the Missouri
Pacific St. Louis Limited for New
York, Minnesota, Canada and the
extremes northwest last Saturday
evening. Mr. .Brack is acting
immigration agent for the Fort

Jas. Pizinger, accompanied his
brother Tom, to Kansas City last
Thursday night. Tom went to con-
suit an eye specialist about his eye
that was injured some three weeks
since; we learn that his eye can be

friends are pleased to learn of his
good chances for entire recovery.
Our remark made in our last batch

suffering with an attack of nausea;
better come up and let our man OF
medicine prescribe for you. Perhaps
you can then write something
interesting.
Merchant Jacoby says it is entirely
unnecessary to go to Hot Springs or
any other foreign shore for the old
fashioned mud bath. Sig took an
impromptu mud bath last week right
here in our burg. He arrived home
from Hoisington on the 10 o'clock
