o to come.

of the absence of Mrs. Small, and is
making some alterations on their
house. The roof will be moved up In

Charlie Given, chief promoter Of
the Bull Moose party in Grant coun-

voters of the county. He sends out
return cards with a request that the
voter check his choice for president,

return them. As they are addressed

sives will pay attention to them than
men of the other parties.
