DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND
5a. ~ JANE BUNKER.

Our new serial is an unusual mys-
tery story that defies picking to pieces !;
1t has a time-lock on It which can't be
opened by simply dipping into the
story here and there and waiting for
the last chapter. The combination
goes from chapter one to finis, and
you're kept on tiptoe with excitement
oil the way; that is, when you're not
doubled up by the fun Of 1t ALL,
Below are what some Of the leading
reviewers have said OF It:
Diamond Cut Diamond" is a VERT
able Arabian Nights entertainment Id
modern setting with an abundance Of
humor and a delightful little love story
on the side. -Washington Evening Star.
Not the least original feature Of the
plot is the Introduction Of reporter
who is not wiser than Sherlock Holmes
and stronger than Sandow.-The Ma
tion, New York City.
The story IL well constructed and
moves rapidly along from one exciting
adventure to another. The author has
fresh, unconventional style, and the
story. Diamond Cut Diamond" con-
tains NO little Of the spice OF humor.-
The Syracuse Herald.
From beginning to end the story
holds the readers interest closely and
compels reading. The style itself, light
and occasionally fiippant, is OF the
gallpping style that hurries the reader
along from chapter to chapter and
makes him reluctant to lay the story
aside.The Boston Times.
Those who enjoy good detective and
unusual stories Will be deeply inter
ested 10 .Diamond Cut Diamond. -

COUNTY BUYS NEW TRACTOR
AND ROAD GRADER.

The County Commissioners last
week bought new Avery 40 so Trac
tor and an Adams Leaning Wheel
Road Grader with twelve foot blade
1t is the intention of the Board to
keep this machine at work on the
roads in this county continually. A
road was recently surveyed across the
county from east to west, also road
from here to Mission, and as we under
stand the proposition, the machine is
to be kept on these newly surveyed
roads until they are put in good cen
ditiou to take care of travel. The
new outfit will cost something 10 the
neigb bolhoo of $1,000 TO, and if the
proper use is made of it, and it is kept
busy on the roads in this county when
weather conditions will permit, we be
!ieve the Commissioners have made a
e ,od investment, and it will n 1T be so
many years uutil this county will be
able to boast of some really good
roads.
Up at White River they held a
meeting last Thursday evening and
organized Good Roads Club. A
temporary organization was effected
by electing j. w. Beckwith, Presi
dent; NJ. l.. O'Reilley, Vice President
d. L. Mclean, Secretary; Robt Jones
Treasurer. We understand that their
ambition is to organize County
Good Roads Club, ard the movement
is commendable. We believe that
the road from here to the Tripp coun
,y line should be put in the best pos
sibIe condition, also the road from
here to White River and from White
River to Murdo, as these roads easily
carry the most traffic of any roads in
the county. and besides they are the
roads over which is brought the daily
mail to the people of this coudty.
The roads between here and the Tripp
county line have been sadly neglected
and few stretches of 1t are practi
cally impossible in wet weather. II
is to be hoped that this new machin
cry and the new good roads move
ment will actually bring about ths
