MERCANTHa. T. T.:
STORE SOLD
Atty e. r. Fisher is Sole
Owner, with W.n, g.
Schuett as Mgr.
FORMER PROP. BUYS LAND.

A deal was closed on Tuesday OF
this week, by w. 4. Stockstill,
through which Atty. E. T. Fisher,
becomes the owner Of the Wibauy
Mercantile Company's entire stock
OF dry goods, furnishings, machin-
cry ana vehicles. The deal was
brought about by the latter whom,
we understand, traded the Brcphy
tract Of land which he recently
purchased, for the store.
In reply to an inquiry regarding
the sale Mr.. Fisher stated that al
this time he was unable to give out
any definite information regarding
his plans Of the future, further than
to assure us that the excellent bus
mess Of the Wibaux Mercantile
Co. would be carried on as usual.
The stock of goods is now being
invoiced and as soon as thi, work
is ~ompleted, Mr.. Fisher expects to
put on big sale for few weeks;
to clean up some ef the remnants
in the different lines, and later 4
new and complete line Of ladies'
and gents furnishings would be
put in.
Mr.. Stockstill, the former owner
and proprietor Of the store, III
company with Mr. ochuett, who
5 also interested in the Brophy
land, expects to live on and i'm
peove the land during the coming
season.
In this transaction it is estimated
that the total stock Of dry goods
Will invoice about $4,000, while
the tract Of land-S0O acres in al
was valued at $l8 per acre, lcav-
ing q balance Of $4,4W us d cash
transaction.
The Brophy land is consideral
among the best tracts in Dawson
county, and, We believe, the time
is not far hence when its ap~
praised value will double that Of
today.
Later-we learn, that Mr..
Schuette ha,, accelt.d the position
as active manager Of the Mercan-
tile store, and will devote all his
time there instead Of taking up the
work on the farm--thoush he still
retains an interest in the latter. -

CHAM B g::R OF
COM WI E:R &; {: {:
That is the Nane of New
Org aniZ alton formed
Here Monday.
80 MEMBERS NOW ON LIST

As result of meeting he'd
here on Monday evening a business
mems club, 20 be known as The
Wibaux Chamber Of Commerce wa.
organized and, at the present writ
ing, over thirty members have beer,
enrolled.
The object Of establishing sucl
II club being with a view to gair
the co.operated support Of our cit
izens in taking care Of all such bus
mess matters, especially with th'.
outside world, that may come before
the organization, which will be Of
equal interest to the public in gen
eral-and a good booster" for our
thriving little city.
Early last fall, when we we're ne
gotiating with the State Institut
Workers for meeting here, an
organization, known as the Beaver
Valley Farmers and Stockraisers'
Asso. was formed, as a means Of
assistance for holding the institute
meeting, but failing, at this time
to secure any assistance from the
state, the or 5anization took no fur
ther action, until this week when
it was moved that the old organi-
zation be changed to a business
mems club, with the name as men
toned IN the foregoing. The new
organization was formed not only
with the same object in view, but
will cover much la ger field. It
will look after all public matters of
interests to the community, at
large, and will no doubt prove the
chief booster for our town.
The membership fee was fixed at
the small sum of S., and every cit
izen interested in the welfare of our
town and surroundings should not
fail to have his name among the
list of boosters.
Officers and directors were elect
ed as follows; W. A. Organ, pres
iaent; Al Davis, vice-presldent;
T. j. Bushell, secretary, and Roy
Chappell, treasurer. G. M. Allen,
w. H. Rucker and T. j. Lynch
were elected directors for /, 2 and
3 years, respectively. A committee
of seven was appointed to arrange
An advertisement for Wibaux and
vicinity, in the form of folder.
Those on this committee are as
follows: II. X. Schuster, H. Null
end ore, T. J. Bnshell, 7. j. Lynch
l.. j. Willis, j. c. Kinney and Al

county fair approached its present devel-
opment, and the almost marvellous adj
vancement that has since been made is
unquestionably due to the education and
friendly rivalry made possible by our an
nual agricultural exhibition. This advance
ment is plainly shown in every improve
ment that goes to make up more success
ful, more prosperous and more contented
community at large.
1t was not many years ago that the late
Joseph T. Bailey brought to this county
the first Percheron stallion, from which
began the wonderful improvement in horse
flesh of the heavy-draft variety which is
to be seen throughout the county, and it
has required no greater length of time to
bring about all the other improved condi-
tons that are to be observed on every
hand. and to which the old conditions were
so much inferior as to be simply beyond
comparison. The exhibition of improved
farm products of every kind at each sue
ceeding fair has proved a valuable object
lesson to all who have been wise enough
to profit by its teachings.
We therefore repeat that much of the
good fortune that has come to our county
in recent years is due to our agricultural
fair. and we cannot too strongly urge our
farmers and our business people to do all
in their power to increase the interest and
success of the coming exhibition. All of
us can well afford to take few days off
and at least encourage the management
of the fair by our presence during its
progress. Indeed, a great many of us have
it in our power to do more than this; we
can place upon exhibition some article or
articles that will help to make a more at
tractive display and stimulate others to
greater effort along the same line in years
that are to come. More than that, there
are Liberal premiums to be won in this
way, and you may just as well win them
as anybody else. Show an interest in this
great home institution, and do all you can
to make the coming Montgomery County
Fair, beginning on August 31st, an I'M
precedented success.

THE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

The people of every section of Mont
gomery county have been enjoying delight
full picnics and festivals throughout the
summer, and. now that the season for these
neighborhood events is about drawing to
close. the next thing on the taps. and the
greatest event of all. is the approaching
Montgomery County Agricultural Fair, in
which the citizens of every section of our
county are. or certainly should be. deeply
interested.
Not long ago the United States Secretary
of Agriculture expressed the opinion that
no institution in this country has done
more for the promotion of the material in
terests of the farming community than
successful agricultural fairs. This opinion
is borne out by the experience of all who
have carefully observed the progress of this
county along agricultural lines during the
past quarter of a century. Persons yet in
middle life can well remember the class of
live stock bred in this county before the
