The Weather
Box Butte county has been getting
some showers of rain within the last
few weeks, but they have been mostly
light an not sufficient to thoroughly
wet the ground. But yesterday alter
noon and last night we got what we
have been eagerly looking for, a soaker.
While the small grain was damaged by
the dry weather, potatoes and corn
were uninjured, and this beayy rain
will make them boom.
Chariot Races Assured.
Chariot races for the three days of
the race meet are now assured. The
chariots and horses that were at Craw
ford and created so much interest there
will be here, and will be driven by a
man and woman.

Did you ever think what your ad in
the newspaper is doing for you? When
you close your 6tore in the evening and
go home to your family and fireside,
not thinking about your business at
all, then it is that the paper is being
pored over in hundreds of homes the
homes from which your trade is drawn.
And there is your ad doing its work
siledtly, but surely, and if you have
taken the pains to make it attractive
its work will be all the more satisfac
tory. This is repeated over and over
again, and is no doubt what inspired
some writer to call" newspaper adver
tising a "silent drummer."
A former Nebtaska farmer who is
now in the Salt River Valley of Ari

to give some of his friends back here

had to mow the grass in the front yard
every day to find the baby. One
family near him had twins and as they

The remark is often made by visitors
to our town that it is a prosperous,
thriving town. Traveling men especi
ally, speak of the amount of business
done here. It only serves to emphasize
the fact that Alliance is the metropolis
of western Nebraska. Our grain and
6tock buyers pay the highest prices
that the marketB afford, often a good
deal Letter prices than are paid in
other western Nebraska towns. To
the merchants also is due a large share
ot the credit. They carry large and
well selected stocks, bought in large
quantities at close figures for cash, and
give their customers the advantages of
the cut prices. Nothing helps to build
up a town more than live, energetic
business men.
