bekah and l. o. o. +. lodges of this
city went to Nelson Thursday to at

We would suggest that when the
time comes for painting the electric
light poles, they be painted green.

poles this color they would hardly be

will be much more satisfactory.

While he has had a fair business,
, he believes he can do better elsewhere.
THE CHIEF was late last week owing
to delay in receiving the copy for the
delinquent tax list, which the law re-
quires to be published the first week
in October. A glance will show that
the list of delinquents is but little

showing that our citizens are more
prosperous and more prompt in pay
ing their taxes than our neighbors.
