Opens Up office.

We are glad to call the attention OF
the public to the the announcement
by way OF card found elsewhere In
this issue, that DR.. Ransom will at
once open an office, and begin the
practice OF medicine in a general way.
The doctor has for some time been
living on his farm, west OF town.
He came here from Illinois, having
spent II years In the practice Of his
profession, TO rest and recuperate for
time from the burden and wear of a
busy practice. Before coming to
Ordway, he resided in one place, Pa
tomac, H., l3 years.
He has several letters OF credit,
both from medical men and men OF
money, as TO his standing and ability,
and quite a number in our communi-
ty who knew him in the East, are
willing to vouch for his integrity and
ability as physician.
We bespeak for him a goodly prac.
tice.
