Hurra For Our Country.


nor do we believe much in this
strenuous way of conducting politics,
but we have always believed that it is
unsafe to swap horses while crossing
a stream. When times are good, and
everyone seems to be prospecting, it is
no time to make changes, and the
people have emphatically said so, all
over the country, and especially in
Barton County.
Let us all hope that the next four
years will be a continuation of the
four years just gone by, SO that we |
all may get so fixed that if there
come three or four bad years, we will |
be ready for it.
In the meantime, we don't propose
to loose any of the pleasure and en-
iovment that comes from having ou1
homes fixed up, nicely and convenient
for every day enjoyment. For home
is really the only place we have on
earth, outside of our business, and to
make it the best and happiest, should
be,the duty of every person. Home
builders are the best citizens in this
country, because they are.the stalwart
citizens upon whom the country de-
ponds for it a success.
Now you are going to fence i'll
your wheat, and pasture it, and we
have something for you that you have
not had for ten years, and that is,
barb wire for $3.50 per hundred. Get
it while it lasts. 1t is only break in
the market that gives it to US at this
price. We have nice road wagon
wagon for $4,000, and half-platform
spring wagon $500. A nice top
buggy for $500, and the best feed
grinder on the market. the Grain
King, the only one that will grind
small grain successfully, for $4,000.
The Deere hand corn shelter for
1880, wood water tanks for $500.
Now don't some of these prices
surprise you? Especially in these good
times when everything is going up.
Don't you think it best to get them
right off? Why think of it,, we are
giving you one of the best windmills
on the market for $4,000, and another
kind for $1,000. We are giving you
good iron roofing and siding for
$500 a square, and good paint fol
$1.0O gallon. and if you want some
of the best house paint ever mixed,
containing genuine white lead, and no
mineral substance, get the Lincoln or
the Seweli. We keep full line of
paints, oils and glass, and can. sell
you genuine boiled linseed oil, or if
you want something cheaper, we have
it.
Anyone can fix up their house as
nice as they want it for little money.
Now just come in and see what we
are selling in the way of dining room
chairs, dining tables, sideboards,
parlor suites, rocking chairs, wall
paper, carpets, rugs and curtains. It
will surprise you. And then again,
think of the selection that you have.
1t is equal to any you will find in
Hutchinson or Wichita.
Get it. A bathtub. You will find it
is just what you need. It is one of the
best and most useful articles in the
house. A health producer, money
saver, and frees you from the patent
medicines and various nostrums that
takes your money, and leaves you no
better off. Cleanliness is next to
goodness.
Keep warm, and you will keep away
the rheumatism, and the various
aches and pains that come from shak-
ing and shivering in cold room.
Get the genuine Beckwith Round
Oak heating stove, or the Garland or
q. S., or the Radiant Home, or Gar
land hard coal base burner. The
Garland or Quick Meal steel range,
or stove. We have them from $500
up:
Yours very truly,
