ANOTHER
Which shows the value of THE HERALD as an
Advertising Medium.
An Alliance merchant one who is up-to-date, carries an immense
stock of goods, docs an enormous business, and spends a large
amount pacb mouth in printer's ink says:
"MORE OF MY PATRONS SAY THEY READ MY ADVER
TISEMENT IN THE ALLIANCE HERALD THAN IN BOTH
THE OTHER ALLIANCE PAPERS COMBINED."
While wc arc pleased to know that this merchant is getting value re
ceived for his money yet we were not surprised when he made the above
statement this week- It is reasonable to suppose that a paper having
nearly twice the circulation of another paper is read by more people.
THE HERALD'S circulation in Alliance is much larger than any
other paper and its circulation in the county outside of Alliance is ten
times as much us any other paper. THE HERALD'S subscription
books are open for inspection to anyone interested.
ADDITIONAL LOCAL.
L. Sampy of Nonpareil was in the city
last week, having brought down several
hundred pounds of bromos grass seed for
parties in this vicinity. A. S, Reed took
200 pounds. Mr. Sampy realized between
S200 and $300 from seed off of eight acres .
this season. He sowed eight acres to '
bromos grass six years ago and it has
thrived every year. Last spring he seeded
forty acres and intends to sow twenty
acres each year until he has a quarter sec
tion seeded down. He considers bromos
grass preferable to timothy and as dry
weather does not injure it there is no
question but what it is a splendid forage
for this country. Those who sow bromos
will enhance the value of their land.

THANKSGIVING IN ALLIANCE.
1
A Pleasant Day win Many
Family
Gatherings.
Thanksgiving in Alliance was, one ever
to be remembered 1n every household
where" the- fruits of the field and the fat of
the land supplied ample for the inner man.
The day was unusually fine, not a cloud
floated through the sky and Old Sol with
his rays of warmth tnade the day seem
more like mid-summer than the threshold
of winter. Outdoor pleasures and Drome-
nades .f,,,,ed he """oughfares with people
even till late in tho evening when the sun
disappeared and the chilly breath of night
changed the atmosphere, so that overcoats
and light furs were comfortable.
O, but didn't Henry Armstrong look
swell yesterday?
Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Stoner spent
Thanksgiving with Mrs. Stoner's parents,
Dr. and Mrs. Smith, at University Place.
Mr. and Mrs. B. V. Reeves entertained
a party of friends and relatives at their
pleasant home yesterday. A bountiful re
past was served and tho day closed with
every anticipation of a joyous Thanksgiv
ing fully realized.
Through the kindness of the "boss" The
Herald employees feasted oa turkey
Thanksgiving and a long-felt want was
thereby abundantly supplied. Of course
this recognition of the proprietor's kind
ne'ss is stealthily inserted without his
knowledge.
W. Ww Norton and his employes, spent
Thanksgiving together at the Norton home,
enjoying the day in social passtimes and
of course including a royal dinner, where
the delicious turkey graced the well-loaded
table as a center piece. It was indeed a
happy event not soon to be forgotten.
A Thanksgiving feast came in ahead of
the official date at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. V. G. Simonson last Monday even
ing when the committee having charge of
the year book of the P. O. E. society chap
ter A. H.i met and in place of other mat
ters enjoyed a feast that was indeed worthy
tho name, Thanksgiving banquet. The
bill-of-fare included everything that one
could wish for and the event will long be
remembered as one of uuusual pleasautry.
