G. 6. Warner of the GregoryTimes
Advocate has purchased the subscrip-
ton list and good will of his compet-
tor the Gregory Democrat. This
leaves the town of Gregory with but
one newspaper, but Mr.. Warner is
giving that town good paper and it
will probably be long time before
he will again have competition in that
field. Geo. h. Cross who has been
publishing the Democrat at Gregory
has purchased the Bonesteel Plo.-
Herald, and he has already taken
charge of the same.
We understand the Non Partisans
of this county haye called mass con
vention at White River for next We'd
nesday, December 2lst for the purpose
OF nominating full county ticket
The Republicans and Democrats will
nominate tickets at White River on
Tuesday the 9th of this month. IT
now begins to look as though there
would be three cornered fight in
this county at the next general elec
ton. The Non Partsans up to the
present time have never shown much
strength or activity in thi. county.
The electric lights will again be
sh ming in Wood next week if all sues
we'll. Mr.. Margolis, representing the
Delco light people was here Monday
and sold the Wood Light q Power Co
another 3KW Delco plant, and the re-
pairs for the old plant arrived this
week, and MIR Guthrie of Murdo will
be here Monday to set up the old
plant and put it in as good shape as
new. The old base for the plant in
the power house has been torn out,
add two new bases built in its stead
to accommodate both the old and new
unit, and cement floor put in, and it
will not be long now until we will a
gain be having electric service that
will be second to none in the state.
1t will be twenty tour hour service.
Our people will certainly appreciate
the bright lights when the juice is
turned on again.
