Going Out of Business!
Yes, that is a fact. I have traded my business
property here for a farm in Merrick county, and must
make a reduction of the stock here to the extent of
three thousand dollars.
To do this, I must offer some exceptional bargains.
All goods carried will be sold at actual cost, with the
exception of the grocery stock, which must be kept up.
We have a line of hardware, work clothes, auto
tires, shoes in endless variety, as well as rubber goods,
and in fact all the stock which we are carrying, which
includes some Reo cars and Rumley separators and
tractors.
We will save you money on anything which you
may desire. See us at the stand on the corner, as we
are going to reduce this stock in a rush'.

It is claimed that the auto, which
by the way if it is. a Universal car
will, when fishing poles are placed
in the vehicle, turn for the creek
or river, and when the poles are
taken out will stand still until the
roles are again placed in the car
Probably this is on account of the
training of Dan Lynn. It is told of
MrxLynn that a large fish in the
creek took the hook, line and pole
away from him and went away with
is. Ask either he or W. A. Taylo
for the straight of the matter.

the Missouri Pacific, who wras called

as he could in a fhort time. The
brother was driving along in a
wa?en when one of the tugs of the
harness c?.me loose, allowing the
wagon tongue to come down, which
caught in the tracks of the street
railway, causing the overturning of
the wagon and killing Mr. Ray, as
well as barly injuring a five-year-old
son who was riding in the wagon
with his father. Mr. Ray leaves, a

well as many others attended. In
fact, it was said by those who had
lived in the vicinity for many years
that it was the largest crowd which
had ever been at a gathering there.
The Rev. Smith of the Episcopal
church at Nebraska City, delivered
the address which was one of much
worth, filled with patriotic utterances.

Last Monday A. L. Becker who
was needing some flour, telephoned
to both the mills at Nehawka and

Expresses Appreciation
I wish to take this opportunity
and mean3 to thar.k the people of
Union and vicinity for their very lib
eral patronage they have accorded
us since we started the picture show
some few months ago. I regret to
say that on account of objectionn of
the railroad company, I may have to
discontinue running the show. How
ever, I hope to get matters adjusted
and continue as long as enough peo
ple care to come to justify my doing
so. I thank you one and all.

The Wheat Situation
There is much scare and sconsider
able cause for it regarding the acti
vities of the Hessian fly in the
wheat. Many fields have been very
critically examined and in many in
stances the fly has been found, al
though in a few no trace" of lta work
was discovered. G. W. Cheney, Jess
Crook and Dick Davis, because of
the prevalence of the fly in their
crop, and R. E. Foster, because of a
very thin stand, have plowed up their
wheat land And will replant to corn
Others are considering taking the
same action.
