The charivari of Prof. A. B. Rich
and bride Tuesday evening was an
elabo rate affair, if the variety of
noises can be taken as an indication
of the quality. Being his next door
neighbor we are in a position to judge
fairly well,
&C. w. Stoner calls our attention
to the fact that he has been buying
grain in lroquois for twenty-one years
and that his house has never been
closed during that time. Many years
ago there were seasons when the
grain receipts were very light but the
elevator was kept open every day in
the year just the same.-Chief.

Prof. A. B. Rich and wife started
housekeeping in the Armstrong resi-
dence on Second street the first of

friends of Prof. Rich will extend to
his bride a warm welcome to our city.
The pure feod commissioner is

directly specified by lay. There has

The law provides a fine and impris-

Fresh tobacco, fresh fruits, fresh
canned goods. Try Burkart Bros. for

Consumers of coal, and that
means nearly everyone, have been un-
usually slow to lay in a supply for
winter use so far this season. The
weather has been fine and no one
seems to think of coal. However,
the instance has been known when
the first of October brought evere

week away. When the first storm of
winter strikes, the demand for coal is

dealers are often cleaned out of sew

then is heard the oft repeated queary
by the disappointed ones of "why in

hand, they know it is winter" An
even thousand tons of coal should go
out of this town in the next four
weeks. but if this fine weather should
continue during October the sales
