who settle their bills in full every
30 or 60 days WE GUARANTEE
to sell you goods as cheap as the
lowest spot cash prices named by
our cash stores. There is no price
that will be made by any competi
tor on any article of merchandise
that we cannot meet and undersell
furthermore, we will give you a
superior qualily of goods in every
respect. They are all jealous of
our Pillsburj-'s, Lexington and
North Platte flour trade, Chase &
Sanborn's teas and coffees, the
Club House brands of canned
goods, and Heinz's pickles. You
will confer a great favor if you will
inform us whenever you hear of an
article in the grocery line that is
sold less than we sell you. Buy,, a

improvement to the city, or giving
to the lax-payers any direct or real

made an official visit at the armory

be supplied with new rifles. He
also said that company E has the
best reputation for target shooting
of any company in the second regi

confectionery store to Frank Braz
elton, and the latter has taken
charge. Mr. Williams is not decid
ed as to what he will do in the
future, but thinks he will continue
to live in North Platte. He had no
intention of disposing of his busi
ness prior to Mr. Brazelton's offer,
and the rather sudden move has
left him without any definite view
for the future. He and his family
will probably ma'ke a trip to Massa

The late rains demonstrate
very plainly that the streets of
North Platte are in worse shape at
present than for several years past
and they are becoming worse
everyday. During the long stretches
of dry weather we are not so apt to
notice the low places in a street,
but they become very noticeable
after a heavy rain when they are
transformed into mud-holes of
goodly proportions. This paper
has always maintained that it re
quires a certain amount of work
each year to keep up the streets.
If the streets are stinted one year,
it requires more than double the
work the following year to make
the necessary repairs. If Ihe coun
cil has the necessary funds at its
command the mud-holes should be
filled in before they become deeper
and greater.
Frank Brazelton and Miss Avis
Duncan were united in marriage

Treasurer-elect Holcomb was

good bond in this amount is not as
