the republican candidato for county
commissioner, is a well known business
man of that town, having been iden

be taken as a guarantee that he is a
business man, and men of his calibre
are needed to fill tho position of com
missioner, for unquestionably there is
no more important office in the county.
Tho county commissioners mako all
contracts, approve and allow all bills;

Concerning Tabor Acreage Tracts
To tho Public:
Somo peoplo do not understand clcnr-

Somo hnvo tho idea that n speculative
concern is handling this property for

Court nnd wns ordered to soil this prop
erty ns fast as possible. Tho proceeds
aro used and will bo used to pay off tho

into bankruptcy and nt tho tlmo of his
bankruptcy owned theso lauds.
Tho prices nt which this land is bo
Ing offered to tho public nro much lower
than ovor provallod with similar prop
erty at North Platto. If you doubt
this mako inquiry ns to tho prices ob
tained for ncreago tracts elsewhere,
wnicn contain no bettor boii nnd are
loented whero ono will havo to cross
tho Union Pacific or tho B. & M. R. R.,
when tho snmo is constructed.
A number of vory splendid bargains
havo bom mado by buyors nnd nftor
wards n 'argo number of peoplo havo
said that If thoy know this proporty or
tho piece of lnnd, wns going to bo sold

said of tho snlo of tho Barton house
to W. M. Cunnlnghnm and tho samo
of tho 400 acres of hay land to Henry
Wnltemath. ThoTrustoo has n numbor
of bargains just ns good, and tho un
