Ralph Whitford, an old time friend of
l.. Writ Markham, was here last Thurs
day stopping off on his way to Denver.
Mr.. Whitford resides in Ohio, and this
was his first trip to this section. He
was greatly impressed with what he saw
OF the farming methods under irrigation
and may return here and make some in
vestments.
Filings at the Lamar land office have
been increasing rapidly of late. and the
business now exceeds anything in that
line at this office for a dozen years past
The time for moving the office to Pueb-
10 is near at hand now, and there should
be a strong protest sent in to the inter
ior department against it's removal, as it
is more needed by the people of this
district than ever before.

The school election on last Monday
was very tame affair 80 far as Lamar
was concerned. The only candidate
nominated was DR.. ]. S. Hasty and he
was elected treasurer by a unanimous
vote. The DIR. takes great interest in
the work of the schools and has proved
one of the most useful members of the
board, and as the schools have met with
the approval of the public generally,
there was no opposition to his re-elec-
ton at all.
NJ. J. McMillin returned yesterday
from a trip through western Kansas.
He reports the days of SO and 'S7 as be-
ing reproduced now in that section, and
said that even an old timer like himself

OF the Kansas real estate agents without
being forced to invest in few hundred
acres Of land. 1t looks as If the entire

We have received letter from Rev.
which he says he will accept the call Of
the German Lutherans to be their pas
tor at Lamar and vicinity, and that he
will leave Iowa on May % for Lamar.
There is large Lutheran congregation
in this neIghborhood and the prospects
are good to build up a strong church
under the charge of Rev. Bunge. We
wish him the greatest possible success
in the good work.
The marriage on last Thursday even
ing OF Chief Justice E. 4. Pike and Mrs.
S. ii. Koonsman was celebrated at the
home OF the bride in the presence OF a
few invited friends. The aggregation OF
friends that assembled on the outside
has never been exceeded in the history
of the town, and the racket made simply
paralyzes the English language to ex-
press even as it paralyzed the happy
couple Their many friends here ex
tend best wishes and congratulations.

senting Mays Gum Elastic Roof Paint

the interest of his company. This con-
Germ painted a number of tin roofs in
Lamar last fall and their work in every
instance has given the best of satisfac-

willing to give their roof paint strong
recommendations. They have the very
highest recommendations from leading
business men OF all the cities of this
state, and any one wishing roof paint
