YOU WOULD
LIKE TO
TAKE

TAKE PICTURES.
Own up. Every normal human
being likes pictures and likes to make
them. Further, it lis an art worth
while. 1t gives pleasure, it developes
the artistic sense, it gives you a pictor-
ial record of your life that will grow in
value with advancing years.
WHY o GET AN EASTMAN CAMERA NOW?
The money necessary to buy one will
most likely be spent any way in useless
things. Waiting until you have a sur
plus for the purchase is apt never to
come. If you want a camera, buy it
now. You will be glad you did. In
making a selection our stock and our
experience will be invaluable to you.
1t will prevent a mistake and insure
the utmost economy in any case. We
have the Eastman cameras and every
thing in photo supplies.

A Farewell to sup't Thomas.

The impromptu farewell rendered
Sup't George III. Thomas, Monday eve
ming, was characteristic of McCook and
measured up to the social traditions
which have made our city notable. The
occasion was a praiseworthy desire on the
part OF the citizens of McCook to have
Mr.. Thomas carry with him to his new
home and ~avocation some adequate inn
preston of the high regard in which he
is held here where he has served Nc
Cook with such efficiency and distinc-
ton for the past ten years as superin-
tendent oil u city schools. The
Monte Cristo cafe provided the setting
for the affair and a dainty dinner in five
courses was the initial particular of a
social occasion in which much pleasure
and satisfaction was experienced by all
by Mr.. Thomas in learning from the
lips of his friends expressions OF ap'
probation of his long and faithful and
successful SUPPLEMENTARY of our city's
prlde, heartfelt utterances each mingled
with but regret at the separation OF ties
closely united; by the hosts of the eve
ming because it afforded them opportun-
ity to utter some of the many kindly
sentiments with which their hearts
were OVERLOOKING.
At ten o'clock, the company to the
number of about forty was seated and
enjoyed the following
MENU.
Sugared Fruit
Chicken Pelaff
Toast Sticks celery
French Bean Salad
Boneless Chicken Boston Style
Picked Tongue
Mashed Potatoes
Timbled Peas Lafayette Freres
Parker House Rolls
loo Cream Assorted Cakes
Watermelon
Tea Coffee Iced Tea
Ron Rons Cigars
Then ensued the toasts of the eve
ming, each vieing with another In ex-
pressions devoid of perfunctoriness or
cant, the ensemble being a genuine
chorus of euIogy, appreciation and pro-
phecy of larger accomplishment yet to
be attained-the only minor tone being
that of regret that McCook and The
state should lose his services for educa-
ton. There was, however, many an ar
dent hope expressed that Mr.. Thomas
would reap success and contentment in.
his newly chosen-business. Those re-
snonding to toasts to which no titles
were assigned by the ever clever and
humorous POSTMASTER George s. Scott
were in their order:
C.. H. Boyle John hlce.
I + Kelley Hon. G. w. Norris
f NJ KimmeII Geo. E. Thompson
T Forbes Rev. NJ. B. Carman
The reply by Mr.. Thomas was in kind
and earnestness such as has gained for
him note even in state gatherings for a
cleyerness and facility and lucidity rare
and attractive. His diction and de-
mearor left no room or occasion for
doubt that he deeply appreciated the
occasion and the friendship expressed.
