The paper to buy.
Says l.
William w. Reynolds, who is usually
busy at the county treasurers Office.
took an afternoon off Monday, and went
down to Holly to see how his affairs
down that way we're getting along. He
returned during the night and was ready
for business at the court house the next
morning.
S. N. Garfield, inhabitant OF the old
site OF Trail City, was here on Monday,
transacting business before the U. s.
land office. Mr.. Garfield just escapes
being a resident of Kansas, being so
near the line that he is able to throw
stones into the big state Of Kansas.
E. E. Pike returned this morning from
Denver, where he had been for the past
ten days with his wife. Mrs. Pike still
remains in Denver under the care of a
physician, and it is probable that she
will undergo an operation later on.
Many friends hope that Mrs. Pike will
soon recover her health.
William Mcintosh, who has resided
in Prowers county for the past few
years, and has been engaged in farming
and sheep raising, started for Elmdale,
Kansas, last Monday night. He intends
to purchase farm there and reside up
on it. Mr.. Mcintosh formerly lived
near Elmdale and is going back to the
old stampidg grounds.
With all due respect to the the town
authorities, it is very evident that they
are too lax in the administration OF the
dog license law. There are too many
worthless ours around town, and they
are nuisance. Many are harbored by
alleged owners, hut nearly as many are
strays The town should be rid of all
those doys upon which license ls not
paid.
J.F. Curry. w. w. Cooper and Leon
Butler returned today from ten days
hunt down in the cedars. They had a
glorious time and lots Of fun. On get
ting into town they each made bee
line for bath tub and the barber shop.
They did not get much game but II here
had been another member in the party
they could have had plenty in the way
OF game-of high five.
The funeral services of Edward A.
Brand were held at Maxwell's under
taking prrlors and the body inferred in
the River Side Cemetery last Sunday
afternoon at o'clock. Mr., Brand ca me
here for his health about monty ago,
but it was too late in the history Of the
case and the climate failed to defeat
death A wife, a mother, two brothers
and two sisters are left to mourn his de-
parture, the wife and the mother being
here at the time OF his death. A large
number of sympathetic friends gathered
to render to those who mourned, what
consolation they could at the hour OF
the funeral services. Rev. o. w. Au-
man of the M. E. church officiated.
Rey. r. Oates is well pleased with his
new location and the following is an ex
tract from letter Of recent date:
breckenridge is indeed charming
place. The people are very kind. We
have very pretty church and parson-
age. Last Wednesday night we had one
OF the neatest, most artistic, and yet
cordial ard hearty receptions that I
ever attended. Beautiful decorations.
Choice program, most hearty speeches
Of welcome and good wishes. Tell the
Lamarites through the Register that
the people are almost equal to the peo-
pie in Lamar, and that is saying a good
deal"
