Sad Day For
the benediCfS

Tomorrow's election day, all right
have an even more vital question
ahead of them, and one which is bound
to affect in one way or another every
man in the city. What do you know
about this?
2 beginning tomorrow henceforth
and forever, we will make only two
deliveries in the forenoon and two in
the afternoon. No delivery will be
made after IL o'clock a, m, and after
o'clock p. M, when the final delivery
of the day will be made" H.
That's the ultimatum handed down
this morning by the proprietOrs of the
grocery stores throughout the city, and
the thoughtless housewife who here
after leaves her order for twO-bits
worth of spuds until the last moment
will be forced to impress hubby into
service as a free delivery agent. And
hubby" will undoubtedly, under
threat of being tasted in case he does
not comply, put a patent carrier on
his bike and HE himself away to the
grocery, full of wrath and righteous
indignation.
It will certainly be an innovation,
but one that will not meet with uni
versal approval, and the city clerk
will probably be the busiest man in
town for the next few days issuing
baggage mans licenses to the many
who have before them the task of get
ting their better halves into the habit
of ordering their grocery supplies in
advance, but who will in the interim
be called upon to play the part of de-
livery Kid" be he senator. congress-
man; judge, or county clerk.

Jesse Candy still thinks that
Shallenberger will give him
plum from the Democratic tree
before they are all passed out.
He says that he has very strong
recommendations from this part
OF the state and in fact from all
over the State and from promi.
nent men in other states. The
general sentiment in Broken Bow
is that Jess is entitled to an ap-
pointment at the hands of Shall
lenberger if any Democrat is.
He has done more good hard
work for the party than any other
man. He is still hopeful of his
reward and says ifthere is anyone
knocking on him he doesn't
know it.

The Rev. J. E. Aubrey of Ster-

the Presbyterian Church and
preached two acceptable sermons
last Sunday, to large congrega-
tions. The Church, short time
ago, extended a call to Rev. An
brey, which he at this time ac-
cepted. At a business meeting
OF the Session, it was decided to
remove the parsonage ia the near
future, and erect in its place, a
more commodious house, with ali
the modern improvements. This
is a step in the right direction,
and one we command co the
other churches. The comforts
OF the clergy should receive the

that of the members. Rev. Au-
brey is a genial gentleman and
