"What is Home
Without a Clock?"
How well do we remember
that familiar tick in Grand
mother's sitting room, that
helped her pass many a lonely
hour of her declining years.
You can have this Bnme
clock ticking in your home.
Why not make your sitting
room just as cozy as your
recollections aro of hers.
We have clocks of every
description.

of Steele will bo used in Its construe
tion. Each room will nverago 25 by

pected that it will be ready for inspec

Will Inspect Court House.
Tho county commissioners will ask
the state Inspector of buildings to visit
the court house nnd make an inspection
of its condition physical, sanitary nnd
otherwise. A report, will of course,
follow tho inspection, and then tho
taxpayers of the county will know
whero they "are at" so far as tho
court house is concerned. The Tribune
would liko t- have nn opportunity to
pay Its share of taxes covering tho
cost of a new, modern court house, one
such as the people of Dawson county
have let tho contract to build. There
are, however, a large number of tax
payers who think tho present building
is good enough they aro easily satis
fied. In proportion to its population,
Lincoln county is ono of tho richest
counties In tho state; a court house
costing $75,000 to $100,000 would not
prove a tax burden "to a singlu tax
payer in the county.

self, at least to tho timo it arrived in
Hutchinson.
The train, the finest on the Santa Fc
system, had a crow of sixteen, includ
ing tho manicurist, and they all did
their bet. to entertain the lonesome
passenger.
