The REPUBLICAN abstains from
making any caustic remarks con-
corning the nCn-arrival of the
prophesied comet, because it may

to be awfully put out and
ashamed of himself.
Leo Dean, Conrad Snyder, Will
Penn and Clyde Carlos returned
home last Saturday morning from
two days hunt at the lakes in
the vicinity of Linscott, Is miles

large number of ducks, but they
took shot guns, and not rifles,
hence were unable to reach more
than four feather raisers which
did not know these Broken Bow
nimrods were in that locality.

of friends in this vicinity, having

sharpener in operation, three
weeks ago, Messrs. Johnson &
Ream have sharpened over six

short time i'll the farmer will
refuse to have his discs sharpened
except by the new method.

there and she and DR.. Bartholo
