conclusion that probably an oil painting by
noted French artist might please her. He took
special pains to hunt out store where he might
procure one. He did and put several weeks

He had it delivered Christmas morning and re-

The Canton Made Flour.

There Is NO longer any reason Tor
any one to complain that the canton
-four is not as good as the best mace.
The recent addition of new and I'M
proved machinery places the canton
mill in the list with the best mills In
the northwest. Mr.. Rosecrans is a
miller of wide experience, and Is hon
est and reliable in his business trans
actions. Mr.. South, his partner,
looks after the purchase of wheat ana
sale of flour and he assures the LEAD
Err that the Canton made flour Is
equal to the best made or sold any
where, and this is not disputed by our
bakers and other good judges of flour,
and this being true it is the duty OF
every man and woman in Canton ana
the country round about to patronlze
a Canton or a Lincoln county mill, be-
cause a good home mill is always will
ing to pay a higher price for GOOD
wheat than the shippers.
In the many elements which consul
tute home patronage and business
success, all are necessary in a unity OF
purpose, but let our people cease to
patronize the mill or any other busl-
ness industry and failure comes and
one failure weakens other business
houses, and men loaded with pessimis-
tic microbes begins to see things and
croaks like a bird of i'll omen. Then
the optiEniSt uses a little strong Ian
guage and the croaker goes home to
damn somebody.
Canton Is a beautiful little city,
rich, healthy, an ideal home town
with electricity and a fine water sys-
tenn, and what is needed to give Can
ton a boom is the hitching of the
Sioux river to electric machinery and
a patriotic puil-together of our peo-
Pile. We have everything that God
can give man to 10 with and only
needs unity of action to do things.
Our banks are full Of money our far
mers are all rich, but we lack a nervy
progressive spirit, because some croak-
er will sit down On n of Bragstad's
Bros. free benches and whittle the
rust off his duh knife and kick. Such
people kill a town and towns have
been known to die from dry rot.
Start a progressive boom with home
patronage for everything including
the mill and in the course of a month
or SO the LEADER will call a meeting
of men who can make Canton grow
in the meantime remember the Can
ton flour is equal to the best.
