Ant seems that we have seer the last
OF Squire brave, and Knight so trna
But let us hope that still there be,
Some smoldering spark within our
breast,
Still lingering in our family tree.
To urge us on to do our best.
The day of Thanks is drawing nigh,
The day when summers work is done
But no, All no, ! hear a sigh,
The women'S work has just begun.
The holidays are coming soon,
The days of family spreads, Alas,
When women work their fingers of,
The days of chivalry are past.

this be not true in Canton, rather let
us hope that you will reserve a table
for a good old fashioned dinner at the

combination which no manager cares
to deal with. Their word isn't good

take his medicine with clever boxer

OIL DISCOVERIES NEAR BEATTY

Oil has been discovered within
three miles of Beatty and the discov-
cry means more to Southern Nevada
than if gold had been found there.
Oil in this district means a complete
solution of the fuel problem for this
end of the state and signifies that it
will be possible to develop districts
which heretofore were impossible of
development. Experts who have been
making tests in the newly discovered
Oil district report that the belt covers
several miles and that there is a
strong pressure of natural gas with
abundant evidences of asphaltum.
