The Raymer enterprise., 1912-09-26

The youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Dunlap who has been very i'll during
the past week was taken down to Star-
ling to see the doctor the latter part
of the week. We are glad to hear he
is getting along nicely now.
Chas. Scott is getting over those
cracked. ribs nicely, but he still thinks
that if the Democratic donkey can put
in such licks as the one he came in
contact with, it's good day to Taft and
Teddy when election comes.
DR.. Morris, who had been in these
parts since the Sunday before, started
for his home at Oshkosh, Neb., Thurs
day. His sister, Mrs. Henry and Mrs.
h. Murphy went down as far as Ster-
ing with him and returned the next day.
Mrs. Noble. who has been visiting
with her daughter Mrs. Arleigh ST.
Clair the past month. returned to her
nome in Berthord last Thursday. Mrs.
St Clair accompanied>her home to stay
until her husband is ready to come
home.
Our ready prints failed to arrive We'd
nesday and SO the editor just took ad-
vantage of connitions and took the noon
train for Greeley with the ballot bexes
and returns. He will be back on Fri
day. That will explain why the paper
is late again this week.
E. Toyne brought in a plant of the
Jap Millet last week which presum.
ably grew from one seed. 1T would in
dicate that this variety was a very pro-
life producer of forage, and it would
be well for farmers to try small
amount to see what it will d. in this
country another year.
There has been an unusual demand
for flour the past week. C. w. Hurt
gen received consignment Friday
morning, and by Saturday morning>it
was gone, and as further shipment was
not reaeiged until Tuesday, visions of
a bread famine sent some to neighbor-
ing towns for the wherewithal to make
the staff of life.
Some Of the school tax for this school
district must have. been paid in as the
treasurer of the county has recently
called in nearly $1,000 in registered
warrants Of the district. Interest has
ceased on these warrants, and. if you
happen to hold one of them, you may
just as well get your money. We have
the paper giving number of warrants
called, so if you are interested, call and
consult the list.
A sister of John Motifs from Chicago
and her husband arrived in Raymer
Monday to pay him visit. Mr.. Mott
is was in Saturday, but for some reas-
on they did not arrive then, and Mon
day there were no teams from that di-
rection, so the couple started to walk
the distance to the Motifs ranch. 1t
was a good stiff walk for anyone, es-
pecially, for people not so young as
they once were, and with considerable
luggage to carry.
The ladies of the "Aid" who met at
the home of Mrs. j. w. Hobbs last
Thursday spent most enjoyable day
with her and her sister Mrs. Powell,
besides partaking of a bountiful dinner
served by Mrs. Hobbs. The time
was spent in sewing carpet rags for
Mrs. Allen.a Mrs. Snyder kindly
invited us to meet at her home north Of
town two weeks from that day, where
she and her sister Mrs. Rowe will serve
lunch in the afternoon.
The lumber office is, undergoing some
repairs this week under the guiding
hand of c. B. Barker. A sleeping
room is being made in the back room
and change made in the front part to
accommodate the post Office which will
be removed to that place the first of
next week. Since Mr.. Vik has decided
to discontinue the grocery business and
MIR. Allen often finds it bad getting in
from the homestead in the winter, it
was thought that it would be con.
venence to both to have the Office re-
moved.
Miss Elsie Powell of Illinois who has
