P P. Smith has sold his merchan-
tile business to a Plainville firm and
has again embarked in the real estate
business. Mr.. Smith is one of the

nearly twenty years he dealt exclus-
lively in Ellis county and Western
Kansas lands and had a wide ac-

P. P. puts as much ginger as he gen
orally does in his business, he will
undoubtedly be winner.
