- Kafir Corn Seed
It is a well known fact that Kafir corn
seed is scarce next to impossible to get
but W T Coleman has been successful
in getting a few bushels of choice seed
Those contemplating planting any should
jauy the seed at once before the market
is exhausted
After two years experience wiih as
bestos firo proof water paint we believe
satisfactory results and is the
it brings
cheapest paint on the market

McCook Has It Too
Tho oil excitement in Colorado has
renewed tho feeling in McCook that oil
can bo found in this vicinity and there
is talk of attempting to organize and
raise funds with which to sink a well for
experimental purposes The supposed
indications secured in the well at the
pump house a few years since are re
membered and quoted This well was
only sunk a few hundred feet To arrive
at anything conclusive however it
would be necessary to go down many
hundreds of feet at no small cost
It would seem to The Tribune that
no such serious undertaking should be
gone into without consulting expert
advice and going over the reasonable
showing carefully and intelligently not
withstanding the fact that it is known
that oil like gold is found where it is
