There was rather a distinguished
young "fiu;cr in .Murray this week,
and at the present time he was on
paite a long journey, but not as long
as lie r.as taken on lornur occasions.
Ilis name was Charles 11. Carnahan,

.-Iim as an average telephone pole. h

and claims to bo a member of I note

fort m-ar New York City. He is at
the p.-esent time on a hiking journev
from New York to the exnos'tion at
San Francisco, and has contracted to
wm-; all the wav. lie carries about
ity pounds of baggage in his nap
sack, and departed from here for
Atchison, lie toils of an interesting
trip that he made a few years ago, at
sixteen years of age, when he started
from way up at Two Horns, in north
ern Alaska, for St. Louis, Mo., driving
eijht dogs all the wav. He rode a
led, as far south as sledding was
good then he placed wheels on the
sled and finished the trip. At the end
of the journey he received the hand

Here's light for your home, farm buildings and yard. Here's
power for your electric carpet sweeper, sewing machine, churn
and fan; heat for your eleetric iron and toaster.
PRICE IS LOW!
You'll he surprised when we tell you how low is the price of
the complete plant. If you have your own engine it is even
less.
The cost of operation is moderate. The plant is easily in
stalled. Ready for operation when taken out of the crate. The
Alamo is the ideal farm light plant simplest, safest and Lest
takes up but little space.
Since the perfection of the tuDgsten lamp, which requires
only one-third the electricity to produce the same light as the
old carbon lamp, large storage batteries are not necessary.
Thereby the cost of a light plant is so reduced that it is within
the means of the average farmer.
Lh
The ideal plant for the .farm is the Alama Electric Farm
rr.t Plant. We were the hirst to introduce the snutll liVlit nbmt
into the country homes, and our present improved product is the
result of eight years of successful manufacture. The plant is tbe
simplest, safest and best, and it takes up but little space. Every
farmer should have one, not only to light his building, but to
furnish power for his wife's churning, sewing, etc.
The price of the standard plant is 2-.'J.OO, so you see it is an
attractive proportion for the farmer. If you do not already have
an engine of 2 H. P. or more, we can furni.-h it for you for ? 40.00
additional.

able for building and making im
provements around your farm home
as this one has been, and the activity
around the Murray lumber yard is an
evidence of this fact. More of all
grades of lumber is being sold this !
spring than for many seasons. The
demand for good goods and the fact
that it can always be found at this (
umber yard at the right prices are.
the causes for the increased business..
Mr. Kikendall is after the lumber
business of this locality, not only from :
the fact that it is due him, but be-(
cause he is ready and willing to meet ,
nil rnmnetition on the numerous i
grades of lumber.
