Dr. w. G. Hysler. of Centerville, has
purchased the dental Office in this city,
of DIR. j. S. Goodmanson and will take
possession September LIST, This means
that we will lose DR.. Goodmanson, but
as he is going to locate at Aberdeen we
will likely see him often. DR.. Hysler

the desk of this office contains some
thing about someone violating the game

we have yet to be out there for day
when we have not heard shooting in
that vicinity and as yet we have not
heard of the Day county game warden
being able to catch a single violator.
