Thanksgiving day passed very quietly
| 10 Bucklin. About all the business
houses we're closed In the afternoon and
owing to the fact that Rev. q. 4. Williams
was engaged In holding series OF meet
ings at the Bell school house In Clark
county, there were no services held here
on that day. We suppose that the ladies
put In the day cooking turkey and eating,
the men In eating the turkeys, loafing
and pitching horse shoes, which game
takes precedence over foot ball in our
town and c. E Smith Is the champion.
According to the daily press the finan-
cial condition is steadily improving, but
to the ordinary mortal that wants to
borrow little money it doesn't seem
that way. There is certain town on
! this side of the dividing line between
eastern and western Kansas and claiming
to belong to Southwest Kansas, the daily
papers of this town said last week, under
bold headlines, that the banks OF that
town were paying out currency when
ever called for. 1t 60 happened that In
the regular course of business the Bucklin
State bank had quite a sum on deposit In
one Of the banks Of the said town and
thinking that 1t would be good thing
to replenish its currency tOa small ex.
tent, 1t called on the said bank for some
currency. Did it get the currency? Not
on your life, not even few pennies for
change. One OF the much abused New
York banks responded BY a shipment Of
the amount of currency called for and
wired The bank here that If the amount
shipped was not sufficient just to wire
and more would be forth coming. 1t
would be just as well for the press Of any
town to tell the truth, not only about its
banks but about all other conditions Of
their towns, and not try to deceive the
people In order to boom their town.
Misses Mabel and Hazel Handy spent
Thanksgiving day with friends in Pratt.
NJ, Fl. Taylor has moved the house that

r. j. Taylor went to Pratt last Friday
and Saturday to attend the hearing Of
the case of the freight crew who were ac-
cused of appropriating to their own u.e
some wine out of a car load Of that
LIQUID which vas in the train that they
brought through from Liberal to Pratt.
We understand that the evidence was
sufficient to cause them to be held for ap-
pearence at the district court.
Evans Brothers shipped 1900 turkeys
last week. The remainder OF their stock
Of this particular line Of Thanksgiving
