BLITZ, The Jeweler
A new plumber arrived in u city
Sunday and took up his residence at
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Prick.
The youngster is a german sympa-
thizer and while he has never discuss
ed the war problem 1t is understood
he will do so in good time. His pa
rents are proud Of him and Fred will
be unable to do a whole days work
because some Of the neighbors said
it looked like it's father.
j. M. Taylor, who Is bothered with
the hay fever to such an extent that
IL is impossible for him to get his
breath at times here, left last week
for Albuquerque where he expects to
remain II the CLIMATE will relieve him
of the nuisance. During his absence
JEFF Harrison is In charge Of the ho-
tel and makes an elegant landlord. He
Is just as obliging TO the guests as he
Is to customers at the store, "nuf sed.'
G.. s. Shaw and wife returned Sat
urday from an extended trip through
Texas, going as far as Galveston and
visiting many other prominent cities.
They were gone about seven weeks
and were none the worse for their
outing. The bakery was kept up to
its usual high standard by Mrs. Shaws
brother, Mr.. Leonard, and his able
corps of assistants. We welcome the
proprietor and his wife back TO their
place of business.
A BARGAIN-One Of the best
equipped poultry farms in the state,
located IN miles from good town Of
5000 inhabitants. Good business al
ready established. Land or equip
ment may be bought separately. Just
the opportunity for a good live hust-
Ter to make good investment.
Messrs. Boon and WATSON, who pur-
chased the stone store building on
Main street which was recently con-
demned by the city authorities, have
had it nearly torn down and rebuilt
during the past two weeks and expect
to rent il to some restaurant man or
store keeper. We hope they will have
success in their undertaking because
they have helped the looks of the old
building and it will no doubt pay good
interest on the investment.
The Epworth League Of the Metho-
dist church has put up n fine tennis
court on the vacant lots south of the

enings with their friends in this game

thirty-fve couples participated in the

purchased tickets but were detained
on account of other business, 1t is
said that the music was excellent.

adjustment Of a gymnasium. This
is only a small portion of what will
be used and il is hoped the promoters
will meet with success in their I'M
dertaking.
r. p. Donohoo was one of those who
proved himself "A worthy member Of
the 400" club this week. His hay
! fever stood 240 in the shade and the
| other 800 members while greatly de-
ploring his unnatural uncomfortable
ness, were glad they were escaping
with their breathing apparatus work
ing fairly well and ablesto see out Of
| one eye long enough TO distinguish
| their less unfortunate friends. We
are glad to report Mr.. Donohoo ready
| for work again-part of the time.
We are indebted to Ernest Hall and
| Chas. Young for a photograph OF a
big string Of fish which they caught
in the Canadian last Saturday. The
string contains 20 nice ~channel-cat
which weighed in the neighborhood Of
80 pounds. Some time ago they were
out fishing and the News questioned
the report that they even caught fish
so this time we understand they se-
cured all the trot lines in town, or
practically all of them, and filled the
big river with hooks. OF course n
poor fellow who tries to fish with a
lone hook and line will fall short Of
catching as many fish rs these boys.
One thing they did accomplish and
that is lit is reported) that the river
bank will have more visitors during
the next two weeks than was ever
