Chances place. for notwith standing the
determination of the Cubs peerless
leader TO play again, 1t is known neith-
er Murphy nor any of Chances men
thinks the big bear will be good enough
to play more than third of the games.
That is why Murphy wants Hoblitzel
and wants him badly.
Cincinnati needs pitchers. Clark
Griffith found that out to his sorrow
last year and Hank O'Day knows he'll
have the same trouble unless some of
the recruits make good.
Hence the Murphy idea. Whether he
will slip it over. or not cannot be de-
termined but it is known Cincinnati
Is giving the trade serious considera-
ton.
Hoblitzell is a great first baseman
and a terrific hitter. He would be a
whale with the Cubs. Brown is not
through just yet and. not worked toe
often, would be a great help to the
Reds.

Some Gooseberry

James McFadden has a gooseberry
which he brought in to show US Tues
day, it was grown on the Highland
property in the Third ward of this city
and say, it is sure some gooseberry,
measuring three and one half inches in
circumference the long way and three
inches the other way around, it grew
on a small bush with about a dozen
others which Mr.. McFadden says
are all about the same size showing
they are a distinct variety. Some peo-
pie who saw this sample say it is of
the old English variety and others call
it the Mountain Seeding. At any rate
it is a magnificent speciman of the
fruit and the largest We have ever
seen, the sample being as large as a
fair sized plumb. There my be
larger ones grown, if so, we wo uld
like to see them.

Our County Fair

It's high time you should commence
thinking about and preparing for the
Day county fair which will be held in
Webster on September Is, 10 and 20.
Every citizen of Day county should take
a special interest in the meeting. Mer-
chants, farmers, mechanics, housewives,
boys and girls should make exhibits at
this fair. In this way they will help
boost Day county, the best county in
South Dakota. The officers will dc
their full share. Good races, a flying
machine and other entertainments have
been arranged for, but the officers can
not make all the exhibits, SO get busy,
make an exhibit, and prepare to take a
holiday by attending the fair.

Annual Meeting

The annual meeting of the Webster
Grain and Fuel company was held in
the farmers room in the court house
Saturday. The reports of the officers
show a very satisfactory business for
the past year so far as grain is con-
cerned, but it was decided to discon-
tinue the fuel business for the next
year at least.
The old officers were reelected with
the exception of manager and VIM.
Sheelar was elected to that position to
fill the varancy caused by the resigna-
ton of Herman Olson. The new man.
ager will have an Office in the elevator
and will give the business his personal
attention which in itself, is a guaran-
tee of a successful business career for
the company for the ensuing year.
A contract was closed with Harry
McKennett to act as buyer. Harry
has been buying grain for several
years and has made good with both his
employers and the patrons. he is trust
worthy, energetic; and an honorable
young man, one whom we predict will
give entire satisfaction in the position.
With Mr.. Sheelar as manager and
Harry McKennett as buyer the COM
pany may rest assured that their
interests will be ably taken care of
and the patrons that they will get an
absolutely SOU are deal.

The Best Terms

That is what every person is looking
for when making a deal Of any kind.
There are land deals made all over the
country and many of them on crop pay
ments. We have a scheme whereby the
buyer gets the most benefit of his lab
ors. We sell him a North Dakota farm
in a place where crops are generally
good and take a chance with him. We
ell him on the crop payment plan. We
give him every advantage all the way
through. Pierce & Ravens.

Dealers and merchants who have

this fall and winter will have nothing
to kick about if our readers pass them
by and send abroad for what they
need. Remember, that the catalogue
houses are pretty busy now addressing
circulars and price lists to everybody
soliciting trade and there is every
reason to believe that they will get
some. Much of this trade can be kept
at home, where it belongs. by judicious
and attractive advertising, which the
Courant can give. We are doing
pretty well. but if necessary to pro-
vide more advertising room, merchants
are assured that we can accommodate
them. The Couraht goes to people
