A Reporter Adv. Sold 1t.

The old Jonathan Hamilton home
stead, comprising Is acres and the
residence on north Church street,
has been purchased by Melvin w.
Hamilton, a former we.. know farm
er of Decatur county, who has been
residing for the past few months
with his family at Havelock, Neb.
The Hamilton heirs desired to dis
pose of the place in order to settle
up the estate and they placed it in
the hands of C. F.. Wright for sale.
Mr.. Wright advertised the place as
a bargain in a small adv. in The Re-
porter, and it attracted the attention
of Mrs. Hamilton away out in Neb-
raska and she Immediately wrote
her husband who was visiting in this
county to go and see the place. He
did so and the result was that it did
not take him long to buy it, paying
$500 for the property, and he
bought it well worth the money. He
is to secure possession January 18th,
and will move his family here to
occupy the place.

A Mysterious Fire.

There was a rather mysterious fire
at the home of j. T. Harris last
Thursday afternoon when fire was
discovered in a closet in the second
story, opening from the bedroom Oc-
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Port Bow
sher. There was no one at the house
at the time, Mrs. Bowsher having
left the house about l o'clock, and,
the, fire was discovered about 4:30.
Mr. and Mrs. Harris had both been
away all the afternoon. There was
no electric wires running into, the
closet and how the fire started is a
mystery, unless a match had been
dropped on the floor and a mouse
had ignited it. All of Mrs. Bow
sher's clothing was in the closet and
she lost everything except the ap-
parel she had on. Some of MIR.
Bowsher's clothes were also burned.
They had no insurance. There was
but slight damage to the house, and
this was covered by insurance. It
was fortunate that the fire was dis
covered when it was for it would
soon have had good start.

this car to the factory for repairs. He

freight and our car fare and hotel
bills for two trips to the factory0t0

certainly recommend Mr.. Townsend

Different From Sixty Years Ago.

This is quite a different kind OF
weather from what it was sixty years
ago, said A. M. Prior last Saturday,
or at least that is what my parents
told me, for was born that day and
there was all of four feet of snow on
the ground the wind blowing terrific
and the snow drifting badly. My
father drove to Osceola after a doc
tor, but did not get home for several
days after I was born as the roads
were blocked so that team could
not travel. Mr.. Pryor was proudly
carrying around in his pocket little
pair of leather shoes, his first baby
shoes, which he has carefully treas
ured all these years.
