The ladies of the u. b. church |
will serve dinner and supper at

The straight front and the
GTecian bend are only ephmeral,
while good entertainments like
the Chautauqua live forever.
f. M. Currie will offer our
people some good horses at his
sale Saturday afternoon, August
10th. His sales are always con-
Quoted honorably and he always
has sale when he advertises.
Rasmus p. Scritsmier, of
Lillian and Mrs. Eva S. Miller,
Broken Bow, were united in

friends who accompanied them.
Undertaken Cole wassummoned

offciate as director at the funeral

erly resident of this vicinity,

children.
The grounds are being put in
condition for the Chautauqua

Jess Candy has finally decided
that he is candidate for county
Office, but just which particular
one he does not know-or if he
does, will not disclose. Anyhow,
Jess has paid the price IS5.OO)
necessary to declare himself, and
some of the other fellows are
losing sleep and wondering
where he will finally head in,
because Jess is power in the
land and will receive a strong,
hearty and unsuitable support
for any public Office for which he
may announce himself a candi-
date.
| l.. E. Cole, the funeral director,
has made necessary arrangements
whereby his name will appear on
the republican ballot at the
, primary election for the Office of
coroner. Mr.. Cole is not only
, we'll qualified for the position.
but it still remains a fact that
whoever is county coroner should
be resident of the county seat.
In case of death where his
services are needed the services
of the sheriff or deputy is also
: demanded, hence call is sent to
the county seat and in many
cases complications arise by the
coroner being physician resid-
: ing in an adjoining town and out
somewhere-nobody knows where
, calling on patients. Delays
! can be avoided by this official
, being a resident at the county
+ seat and Mr.. Cole is a position to
: properly discharge the duties.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Bailey, in Broken Bow, is
; this week the scene of happiness
1 and good cheer, a family re-
union which was not prearranged
, being in progress. Had the
i children communicated on the
: subject and appraised one another
e of their intended visit, others of
9 the family might also have come,
!: but as it is the following named
are here: Mrs. Salina Woodruff,
n of Lincoln, arrived last week and
D Mrs. Bailey, wife of Rev. r.
p Cooper Bailey, of Bennett, Nebr.,
n reached here Monday. Rev,
= Bailey is at the jamestown ex'
t position or he would perhaps joir
: in the festivities at home,
l. Yesterday morning Mrs. Susan
n Langstaff, wife of Rev. George
e Langstaff, of Farwell, Neb,
d came and last night the party
n was augmented by the arriva
n Mrs. Elizabeth Conley, wife OF
