A deal was consumated Saturday by
which G. A. Johnson, of Chicago, took
possession of the Star Photograph
gallery in this city. Mr.. Johnson is an
experienced photographer, having
worked in some of the best galleries i'll
Chicago, and comes highly recon-
mended, both as an artist and business
man, and will, doubtless, meet with
success in his business in this city.

Some of our merchants are complain
ing about trade this fall, but it's about
the same thing every place else where
there was a good crop harvested.
Farming people are taking advantage
of the good weather to get the grain
threshed and marketed and are doing
as little trading as possible. 1t will
be 30 days before fall trade opens up in
good shape and in that time dealers
should make preparations for a busy
time, which is sure TO come.-News-
Messenger, frankfort.
A travelling man giving the name of
Chas. Marsh and his address as Cham
berlain has been taking cash orders for
clothing around Burdette. Some of the
orders taken August "a, and to be
delivered in ten days have not been
heard from. Inquiry at Chamberlain
has failed to discover that Mr.. Marsh
has ever lived there. He purports to
take orders for the Sprague wooden
mills and clothing company of Chicago.
Mr.. Marsh may possibly be straight but
anybody is little short of a fool who
will give a cash order for anything to a
stranger. Better throw your money
down a well, nine cases out of ten

Sam Calmanson ~retulned from his
visit to the cities Saturday and com-
plains of having had a splendid time
a splendid time with sam means going
some, well rather. Sam says that since
he has turned the Colts out TO pas
ture he has had some time TO think
about and tend to business. On his
recent visit to the cities he combined
business with pleasure. Went on the
market and made selections of the
latest, best and most stylish creations
of the up to date tailoring art in men
and boys clothing and furnishings to be
found in the northwest. Just drop into
the Bell Clothing and Shoe Store and
let Sam tell you all about the new
things and show you the assortment.
Sam says we've got the goods, you've
got the money, you need the goods, we
need the money and at the price the
goods are marked you get the big end of
the deal.
While visiting III the vicinity of
Vermillion, several days recently, we
were forcibly reminded that hogs were
king / n Clay county. Talk about hog
pastures, well they seem to be con-
sidered more precious than the bright
and inviting lawns. Ask a farmer
what bought his handsome and COM
modious residence and out buildings,
and it was invariably hogs. Wheat
raising seems to be of minor Importance
1t is corn and oats, speltz does not do as
well in that part of the state as here
abouts. Twenty-Five years g raising
corn was an experiment in that part of
tie state, and see to what proportions it
has grown since then. The frost has
damaged the cor to a certain extent
but 1t will do for feed-it is far better
than it was last year. The stalks are
higher, bnt there ore fields OF the earlier
variety Of corn in Day county whose
ears arc equal to those of Clay county.
1t is only a matter Of time when the
