A Message of Good Cheer.

with malice toward none and char
itY for all, +" we extend to all mankind
our sincere wishes for greater pros
perity, health and happiness. To al
those who buy, TO all those who build
and to all those who sell, we wish yol
success. Perchance you are compete
tor-we wish you well. We believe
we are all entering upon an era OF
more modern merchandising better
values, fewer losses, greater econo-
mics, larger equivalent for the dol
lar, and therefore have right to look
for greater and granoer successes than
have heretofore been attained. With
the almost phenomenal growth of
wealth and buying power of our coun-
try, many men and more modern meth
DDS In the selling Of merchandise will
surely develop, Retail dealers will
buy more and more for cash, growing
constantly keener and keener in their
buying and study of economy. And,
with very few exceptions, all sellers
of goods, regardless of place or meth
cd, will give honest goods with hon.
est representations and an ever grow
ing equivalent for the dollar.
Certainly this must be the method
of every successful institution of every
kind. If grocer, druggist or restau-
rant, let US think as well Of our neigh
Dor competitor across the street as If
he was our banker. Let US rise above
the petty jealousies and differences
that so often grow out of competition,
so that In the evening Of the days
work our competitor will be as well
come to break bread at our table as
would be our doctor or our banker.
We will then have high regard for
every honorable and reliable dealer,
and even though many times we diff
fer in our opinions we bear no i'll will
against any one who is our competitor
We solicit trade from all, promising
every one the very best service which
the very best facilities can give. We
can't do more and we will never do

that gave it.
She was only a little tot Of three
summers, and no doubt the light of

The readings and anecdotes by the

Yesterday Matt Won Pein, Secreta-

ton on the Boyce Farm expired yes
terday, only $4,000 worth of stock
had been disposed of. 'a
sd The owners of the Boyce Farm,
Mrs. Joseph Kbbey, of Phoenix,
Arizona, and Mrs. Harry Miller Of
Chicago, were notified that all the
capital stock Of the Beallview Addi-
ton Association had not been dispos-
ed of, and were asked to grant an ex-
tension of the option for month
longer.
If Mrs. Kibbey and Mrs. Miller
comply with this request the promot-
ers think that Beallview will be a
certainey, as they state the required
$4,000 is in sight and could probably
be raised in a month more.
The first option on the property
expired the last day of January, at
which time not half Of the capital
stock had been subscribed to, so an
extension of time to March / was Sc
cured. The promoters have work
ed hard to make the project success
and many people have taken stock,
but most Of the sums subscribed have
been small.

at public sale to Henry Bullerdick on
bid of $4,000. The appraised value
Of the plant was $4,000.
It was thought that there would be
several agents for large out Of town
canning companies in the field, to bid
in the. property but the j. T. Polk
Company Of Greenwood, Ind, was
the only concern that made an ef-
fort to secure it.
Its bid was few hundred dollars
short of the amount bid by Mr.. Bull
lerdiek. George R. Bullerdiek, as

which IS enc of the largest preserv-

while there were some differences In
figures at the present time, it was
probable that the deal would be con-

INDEPENDENTLY, ALIAS DEM
. OCRACY.

Realizing that it can not win vic
tory by straight forward methods, the
Democratic party of the sixth dis
trict seeks to overcome its difficulties
by means Of a base subterfuge. 1t
would be hard to find better exam
pie of the corrupt condition Of this
party, than its attempt to gain over
Republican votes by naming its nom
inee for congress, the Rev. Mr.. Kuhn,
as so-called Independent. 1t is
true that the Democrats did endeav-
or to head their ticket with a man
of their own party, spreading abroad
the false report during his absence,
that Charles Major, author OF
"When Knighthood Was in Flow
err" would be the Democratic candi.
date for congress. Mr.. Major, how
ever, was not to be won by such
questionable tactics, and he indig
nantly turned down the Democratic
offer. And now after thissrebuke t,
their methods, the Democrats disowl
their own name, and with Rev. MI
Kuhn as their candidate, take tn
nom de plume Independents.
What confidence can be placed in
party that will stoop SO low in orde
to gain votes? Would anyone trus
. man who was deliberately travelin,
under an alias? No. And inasmucl
as the methods Of the Democrat
party bear close resemblance to sue

The Word "Nuexet."

. Nugget was formerly used to sig
nifty a bit or lump of anything, as a
nugget of tobacco" Nowadays, how
ever, it is used principally of gold as 1t
comes from the mine. This use Is Aus
tralian. Governor Sir William Deni-
son Of Australia wrote in 1852, I'm
many instances the gold Is brought to
market in Jumps or nuggets, as they
are called" In Queensland there is
a peculiar use of the word unknown in
the rest of Australia. There, when a
man appropriates unbranded calves, he
is said to be "nuggeting.'
