Claude Holden, formerly In business
| In this city was visitor early TINS
week from his present home at Nee
Perez. Mr.. Holden Is engaged In black
smithing there and recently had the
misfortune to severely cut two Of the
| fingers of his right hand and was fore
ed to take q lay-off. The accident oc-
Cured while Mr.. Holden was in the
act of throwing a tin can
A. B. Schnell one of the wide awake
young farmers from beyond Tolo, was
a contributing visitor at the Globe Of
fee while in town last Saturday trad
| ing. Mr.. Schnell is one of the thrifty
farmers who have been raising field
peas for several years and has found
them profitable. He says there is no
better crop. This season he will sow
| fifty acres of the white Canadian peas.
In addition to the feeding properties,
the pea is one of the best fertilizers
grown
Attorney Rahberg was In the city
last Saturday from Kamiah attending
| to business before the board of county
commissioners. He says the 0pposi-
ton to the creation of Selway county
Is very strong In the Kamiah section
and Is growing every day. He stated
that 304 out of the 30S votes cast at
the last election have signed a protest
against the formation of new county,
and that representatives from both
Kamiah and Sites have gone to Boise
with a remonstrance signed by 1000
citizens within the affected district, to
oppose the creation Of the new county.
1t seems to be decidedly merry con-
test, and just what the outcome will
be no man can at this time state.
The Globe this week received letter
from G. j. Boyle at Gillette, wy, con-
tanning check in payment for an adj
vertisement we have been running for
him. He compliments the Globe as
a most effective advertising medium
land continues his advertisement. Yet We
find business men In Grangeville who
do not invest as much In advertising
In year as this man away off yonder,
does In few weeks, because they con-
tend advertising does not pay. If the
local merchants would all get hustle
ON themselves and engage in continu-
Gus and systematic advertising, making
good to the purchaser ON the bargains
advertised, other towns would not be
encroaching upon their territory as
they are at the present time.

Mrs w. ID. Gillett received word
from her son, Roy, who is a member
of Co. f, National Guard, now at
Boise, that he has secured a job with
the Oregon Short Line and will not
return home. Mrs. Frank S. Rice has
also received word that her two sons,
Frank and Harvey Vaughn win also
take positions with the Short Line.
just how many others of the home boys
win take advantages of the railroads
offer of employment is not now known;
but it is known that a number of the
boys who are not certain of jobs on
their return here feel that while they
would like to come home they do not
want to idle away the rest of the win
ter, or deal in uncertainties for which
they are to be heartily commended.
The citizens here would like to give
every one of the boys a hearty home
coming welcome, but they appreciate
the position in which some of the boys
are placed and entertain the higher
opinion of them for their action.
