Gordon>Montgomery left Tuesday
for Chinook after spending the sum-

work for his father. Contractor
Montgomery has done a great deal of
work in Malta this summer having
put up several of the new business
blocks. He expects to return in the
spring and we understand he has the
promise for another large business
block.
Parties selling cigarettes and ciga-
rette papers in Malta will have to
have license in the future to handle
them, and as the license is $4,000 u
year it is likely that there will not be
very many houses in the town that
will handle them. Mr.. Facey is the
only one we know of that has taken
out the license and he is trying it out
for month, and if he finds it I'M
profitable at the end of that time it is
likely he will discontinue tke s%,e of
the articles. o':,as",a5fe the price. The
iirrpfoiit on cigarettes is so very little
| that if one firm had the entire sale of
them lie would hardly break even at
the present prices with a license OF
$40 per month.
A short time ago there was al arti-
Gle published in this paper from the

fact that those desiring to prove up
on their homesteads must have their
final citizens papers before making
application for proof. There has
been some misunderstanding as to
what this ruling embraced, and there
has been a few who made application
for proof and then taken out thell
final citizens papers. This will not
go through as there was one proof re-
turned under these circumstances
If you want to prove up and are not

THREE DROWN AT
GRUMPY. VA.


While swimming in the Big Sandy
river headwaters at Grundy, Va,
last Sunday evening two children.
Rosa and Lillian Hackney, aged Is
and IL. respectively, were drowned.
and their sister-in-law Mrs. Jesse b.
Hackney. who was watching the lit
tie girls from the shore, was also
drowned in her effort TO save them.
The tragedy occurred one mile
At this place there is a deep pool
below Grundy, at the Ratliff farm
near the shore. and in this the chill
dren were bathing. The little girl
ventered too far out, and on per-
ceiving her danger she cried out for
help. Her sister started TO her as
sistanCe, and Mrs. Hackney on
shore also plunged in. All three
were caught up by the current and
waited into deep water where af-
ter considerable struggling they
were drowned. Another lady who
was with Mrs. Hackney, on shore,
ran for assistance. and several per-
SONS started for the scene OF the
tragedy. But when they arrived at
the place no trace OF either of the
three could be seen. A vigorous
search along the river bed was mad
and after one hour of searching all
three bodies were recovered.
