A ClNCH.


A little girl in testifying in Police
Court the other day, when asked by
the Judge the meaning of the word
cinch, said TINT it simply meant
sure thing.
Now, that is simply what we have
in the Racine Buggy,a sure thing and
if we have sure thing in the buggy
blu siness, you get the same sure thing
when you buy Racine Buggy; be-
cause we buy them to sell you. There
is a difference in buying buggies;
some people buy anything that is
offered to them simply because it
looks good and is cheap. That is
not our way of buying buggies for we
buy only from reliable manufacturers,
people who have proven to US that
their word is as good as their bond
and then We stay by them, because it
is risky and expensiveto change. both
for you and US. Then we buy in
carload lots, which saves you con-
siderable freight, and pay cash in
order to get the best goods that
money can buy.
These are 1.-THE reasons why our
business in buggies, as well as every
thing else, is increasing from year to
year, and one customer always brings
another. Ask John B. Uuruh why
he came all the way from Pawnee
Rock, last Monday to buy two bug
gies from US. Then ask J. "A. Brown
why he came all the way from Boyd
to buy rubber tire top buggy from
US and then go south and ask Harry
Sipes why he came to US for a fine
top buggy last Monday. 1t surely
must be that our goods and prices
are better than anybody else's, when
such men as these will leave their
home towns and buy Racine Buggies.

In Memoriam.

Orville r. Kackley. who recently
died, February, 22nd 1905 at Kackley
Kansas, was born in Ottumwa, Iowa,
March 18th 1871, was the oldest of
six brothers and two sisters. He
moved to Kansas from Iowa, when
but small boy, and was reared and
educated in Kansas. He was char
acter Of indomitable will power and
had fought and struggled for higher
attachments in life along with his
many friends, neighbors and associates
He was foremost and active in pro-
posing and carrying out all ideas of
progress and advancement along the
lines of education, morality and higher
standard of life. 1t has been truthfully
uttered that should the search light of
investigation be turned with full force
and brilliancy upon his life it would
fail to reveal blemish, scar or bruise.
His early and boyhood life was
whiled away on the farm in the vicin-
atty of where he died. He had the adj
vantage of higher education, witch
he utilized in accordance with the
foregoing and living an exemplary life
that the more juvenile mind with
whom he came in contact, might
emulate to their benefit. He was con-
sSiderate, sober and honest and pos
sessed many other good traits and at
tainments that are found in the char
acter of good NAH. Everywhere and
on all occasions he commanded the
respect of all and made his presence
felt by those about him. His brothers
and sisters, his many relatives and a
host of of good friends m ourn his loss
with no little grief, for in his loss the
main spoke of a family, and an i'm.
portant factor in local society is miss
ing.
. Among the private papers of Mr.
Kackley were found the following
table of New Years Resolutions.
They show the high spiritual and
ethical nature, the splendid nobility
of soul which animated the life and
thought of the departed. They were
numbered, and read as follows:
Quit swearing.
2.-Control temper.
3.-Occupy more time.
Attend strictly to business.
5.-Keep closer watch OF time.
6.-Be prompt to the minute.
BE strictly honest.
8.-Pen your work and do it.
9.-Dismiss all troubles.
10.-Contiuue to meet your creditors
fairly.
11.-Be judicious and cautious about
your. eating and time of eating.
l2.-FolIow your daily program un.

If you are not in need of a buggy
or surrey perhaps we can interest
you by informing you that we still
sell the Mitchell and Old Hickory
wagons, the same ones we have been
selling for twelve years. Pretty good
record and if they were not alright,
we would have done the same as
the other fellow, kept on changing
and experimenting Cat your expense);
but we found we had cinch for you
in the Mitchell and Old Hickory
wagons, as they have surely stood the
test.
We have good supply OF those
Case and Canton listers that every
body praises SO highly. 1t is not be-
cause we sell them that they do such
good work, but because they leave
the ground in such good condition
and the seed where it will grow and
thrive better than any other make,
and we can show you why, and don't
charge anything for the name on
them either.
Our line of riding and walking
cultivators is complete. Let us show
you what we have and if you don t
say that we have cinch on the cul-
tivator business, we miss our guess.
We also have new features on the
Hummer and Case sulky and gang
plows, which must be seen to be
appreciated. If you want gang
pillow for $50 we can accommodate
you. If you are in need of anything
else in our line. remember we are
here to please you.
Yours very truly,

Memorial Day.

A meeting Of veterans of
Camp Presley was held in the
court house yesterday to cele-
brate Memorial day and pay
tribute to their departed com,
rades. Addresses were made
by Commandant H H Kinder
and Rev w B Justus and a reso-
luton was passed relative to
the holding of future meetings on
Memorial day. While this reso.
luton was ordered published,
we understand, yet despite our
efforts, we were unable to Sc
cure a copy, and cannot state
definitely the provisions. Last
year the exercises on Memorial
day were interesting and i'm
pressive, and a large crowd par
ticipated, including a number of
ladies. But for some reason the
ladies did not take part on this
occasion and the veterans seem.
ed to feel keenly disappointed.
Just why the ladies were not
present we are unable to say.
but we feel safe in the assertion
that it was not due to any lack
of respect for the veterans or
their deceased comrades.
