The editor of The Herald vis
ited Hemingford the first of the
week and secured data for an
article descriptive of that thriv
ing town. Owing to being de
layed nearly a day in returning
to Alliance, by the wreck,, it is
impossible to publish this article
this week but it will appear in
our next issue.
An error in the dates given in
the call for a democratic county
convention, as published last
week, made the date of the
county convention July 10 and
of the state convention .1 uly 23,
The date of the county conven
tion is July 23 (next Saturday)
and of the state convention July
20. We wish to call attention,
also, that the county convention
is to be a mass convention and
every democratic voter in the
county is entitled to attend and
participate. We sincerely hope
there will be a large attendance
from the country precincts and
Hemingford, as well as from
Alliance.
