4 Great Show

a great free exhibition will take
place in DEBORAH on Saturday, Nov
Is, and it will be one worth witness
Ing too. We refer to Ben Bears 9th
annual fur exhibition and sale. This
annual event always attracts a huge
crowd, because in no other place In
the state can such a display be seen.
The east side Of his store building
will be lined with one of the finest
exhibits of fur coats in the country
and the man who can't find a suit
able coat in the collection will be
indeed hard to please.
Every we'll known fur coat on the
market will be in the display, and
in such variety that choosing one Is
dead easy. But whether you buy OF
not the display will be we'll worth q
trip 10 the store, and we wager that
larger or better display Will be
hard TO find.

DIR. and Mrs. COnover Surprised.
Last Sunday DIR. and Mrs. F.. w.
Conover were most agreeably sur
prised and reminded by a company
of neighbors and friends, that that
day was the twentieth anniversary
OF their marriage. About the noon
hour the friends assembled, all laden
with good things to eat and took
complete possession of the Conover
home on Broadway. Mrs. Conover
was at home when the company ar
rived but the doctor was at his Of
fee, and on his arrival home was
given the surprise of his life by the
large company present, and 1t was
a genuine surprise at that, and the
first real surprise that was ever put
over on the doctor, az he was in
absolute ignorance of 1t until he
stepped into his home.
After extending congratulations
and good wishes to the genial doctor
and his estimable wife, the company
sat down to meal fit for king,
and the day proved a most enjoyable
one, and one that will linger long
in the memory Of the doctor and his
wife. Their friends presented them
with some beautiful hand painted
china.

ACCORDING TO PRECEDENT.

The hen that cackles loudest may
not lay the largest eggs;
The mule that kicks the hardest may
not have the longest legs;
The tree that is the tallest may not
bear the sweetest fruit,
And the girl who is the fairest may
nor wear the smallest boot
The man whose brow is highest may
not always know the most.
The hero who is bravest may not
make the loudest boast;
The man that is the strongest may
not have the farthest reach,
And the man who talks the longest
may not make the finest speech.
The rose that is the reddest may not
have the sweetest scent;
The man whose strut is proudest
may not be most prominent;
The woman who has jewels that she
measures by the peck,
May not have the slimmest fingers
or the most delightful neck.
The man who works the hardest may
not draw the highest pay;
The one with deepest knowledge
may not have the most TO say;
But the man who is most modest
gets the last seat In the rear,
And the one who blows his bugle is
the one whom people hear.
