George Holeman has closed deal
with e. e. Fleming whereby he acquires
the latter's drilling rig. The machine and
outfit Is practically new and thoroughly
complete from top to bottom, and Mr..
Holeman is prepared to accept drilling
contracts from any quarter, and being a
preptical driller himself, having had
many years experience in all sorts of
territory, he feels that he can guarantee
the best of satisfaction to operators who
want good work and prompt results.
The temperance debate at the court
house, last evening was quite well at
tended despite the inclement weather.

ton is more elective method OF deal
ing with the liquor question than prohi-
bition," was threshed out effectually by
Rev. w. s. Burton, Rev. b. F. Felt and
Charles Clark for the affirmative side,
and Rev. II. A. Bailey, DR.. Boyard and
@. A. Lanson for the negative. BY a
close shave the judges gave the decision
to the negative side.

advanced as Is usual 10 the middle OF
April. We're inclined to take the opto-
mistic view and refuse to believe that
nature is blufiing. All that is now lack
Ing is the music Of the little peep-frogs.

as clipping from the Warren Mirror,
some time last October, and was pub
lished in the humorous section of the
paper, The blizzard says If Mr.. Walker
should succeed in finding the amount
designated lying around loose about the
Blizzard Office it is hoped he will at least
divide il with them.
