1t is suggested that the name
of this burg might very appropri-
ately be changed from Broken
Bow to (the) Holy City, not on

slightly cavities permitted by the
city fathers to exist in the side
walks.

James Chittick, assessor of
Wayne township, brought in
his returns last Saturday and
found that he was the first one
of the assessors to complete their
work. Still such procedure on

honesty, honor and joviality.
