Der of Commerce, is the largest and
best exhibit there--that it is very
creditable to this county and is at
tracing considerable attention.

its alarm yesterday afternoon the
horse attached to A. C. Boyd's deliv-
cry wagon ran away, the course Of
| its race being around the square,
starting from near the post office.

the animal made too wide loop and
came very near going through the
large plate glass front of Oscar
Haile's office. AS it was it became
hedged in between several autos and
the awning posts, after having dis
tributed the delivery wagon in its
trail.

CESS is a native of this Immediate
community, and has been a resident OF
Pennington for twenty-five years. He
has q wife and five children, has a
splendid life history. and is held in
high esteem as an excellent citizen.
He is blacksmith by profession, and
is now working for Herman & Herbst,

him, and he has concluded that a
change in employment might be bene-
fetal to his health. He would appreci-
ate the support of his friends for the
position of Marshal.
