Our people are for tunate In having a jewelry emporium of this character and Mr. Dixon has during his business career of thirteen years among us built up a trade which oxtendB far beyond the natural busi ness llmltB of our town. . Tho wrltor haB several times visited this fine store and has always found patrons thero and clerks as busy as bees. A stock running up Into thou sands and thousands of dollars Is hero displayed In the most attractive of show cases and tho best and most hon orable business principles provail every day In tho year. It is utterly rldlculouB for a slnglo dollar to go outsldo North Platto for anything in tho way of diamonds, precious stones, jowolry, cut glass or anything else u first class, up with tho times Jewolry house should have as it can all be found hero and at prices that allow tho lowest margin of profit. Tho exact truth I" told about every article sold and this Is, one of tho places In North Platte 'where a child oould trade as safoly as a grown per son could. - . Mr. Dixon Is a man 'of excellent tasto hlmsolf. one of the most oxpprt men In his line in tho State, and his special knowledgo Is always at the service of his patrons. There are families In this trade section that have been doing business w th Mr. Dixon since tho day ho thiew open his doors and when this gentleman repre sents a certain article to bo of a cer tain quality, wo all know it will pro' e exactly as ho says It Is Many of the most particular folks hero are his customers and there are goods in his establishment for every taste and purse. And every dollar spent here is given tho maximum of value. The New Baotist Church- Tho Baptist congregation has jiiBt completed the. modern chuich shown above. It is located on the corner or Locust nnd Fourth streets opposite tho court house and near the now federal building. Tho basement Is fin ished off with fuel and furnace rooms, kltchon, spacious dining room, ladles' parlor, with 1 ivator? i-nd toi'.ei adjoin ing, small gymnasium, shower bath and men's reading room with lavatory and toilet adjoining All theae rooms oxcept fuel and fuinaco rooms and kitchen will bo used tor the element ary departments nnd the men's bible school, accommodating at least six separato classes. Above tho basement are the patter's study, choir room and two robing room in roar of low roof addition. In the main building a cosy auditorium may be used by closing off all other rooms, or when reeded a south annex and a west annex, saparated by col lapsible doors may be throw n into on Thero is a Inleony on the south and wost accommodating lr0 prisons. Al together 400 can bo seat! d without crowding. Albo a bible ola&s of sev eral hundred could bo accommodated Interior of C, M. C. M. Newton. Books, Stationery, isoveltie.-, Notions, Wall Puper, News Department. Mr. Newton has been with us since '90, has made a record as a prosperous, progressive business man, line citizen und pusher for tne bests interests of our city nnd county, therefore we take pleasure in enrolling hirn umong the substantial, honorable merchants of our town who on their merits duserve all the good things we can say of tham. Nothing of a commercial nature is moro indicative of the culture and re finement of n community than the pa tronage extended its book und station ery store. Mr. Newton's large and growing business pperiks well for the town and this is one of th busiest es tablishments hero. Mr. Newton caters very closely to his customers the process of expan'inn is always going on. and no man in North Platte is moro attentive to his business than this gentleman. Early and late he is nlways on duty and wo are inclined to think if nny man hero deserves suc cess by hard work and honorable busi ness principles, it is Mr. Newton. There are always pntrons at these counteis and his fine of books of all kinds is complete. All kindB ,of sta tionery suitable to business require ments or social usage can be had nnd we find nn almost endlGSS lin of notions and novelties, Every modern tool nnd appllanco that a Chicago or New York jeweler would have is found hero and no busi ness man in our county gives closor attention to his business or trios hard er to please his patrons than Mr. Dixon. Ho is always to be found at his place of business, working early and late, and if thero is a business man In our county who has doservod success by reason of hard work, un bending Integrity, and tho giving of full return for every expenditure mado at his store, it is certainly Mr. Hnrry Dixon. His premises are lightsome, com modious and spacious, the location could not be better, nnd If thero Is anything lacking In this jewelry es tablishment, tho writer has failed to see It, though ho has written up scores of jewelers from Chicago to San Francisco. Mr. Dixon is tho official watch In spector for tho Union Pacific and you will always find railroad men here. Ho draws patronage from tho boya In Denver, Cheyenno and Omaha and nothing we would add gives such com plete nssiiranco and satisfaction as a watch running on tho dot and nothing Is such a nuisance as tho ir regular kind of watch. Mr. Dixon's large repair force are always busy, and the legislation, ropalrlng and soil ny o 'atches is a largo part of Mr. Dhcn'b business. None have a higher strndlng among the ofllcial watch In supctora of tho Union Pacific system than Mr. Dixon and tho competent nud highly skilled watchmakers hero are oecontial factors In tho success of this emporium. Mr Dl' en has lono; since intrenched himcelf In tho confidence of our peo pie; liis establishment deserves all tho good things wo can say for It, and prosperous, straightforward as busi ness man, upright, go-ahead citizen, and pushers for nil that will help North Platto and Lincoln county, wo doff our hat to this gentleman. in twenty-four clats rooms outside tho main auditorium by tho use of a fow curtains. There are twelve dis tinct rooms outside the audience room, besides the balcony. The building itself, furnished icady to dedicate cost approximately twelve thousand d la,n, located on a lot valued at probably seven thousand dollars, and this with the pastors home, gives tho Baptist peop'.o prop erty valued at $23,000. Thero are 143 names on tho church roll, but forty of these aio non-iosl-dents. Tho annual budget of the church runs from $1,500 to $2,000 Seven jears ago tho church wns without a pastor and a feeling entor talned In the community that one would not be secured, but In Decem ber, 1906, n. B. Favoright came from Illinois to this work, since which time the membership has moro than doubled and tho finances havo multi plied bv thiee Tho Tribuno compliments the Bap tltot people on their new church home, tnd tho success lhat has been theiis slnci Ue Favorite assumed tho I actoi lie Newton's Store. Lack of space precludes the possit il ity of mentioning each line separately and in detail and it must suffice to nay that the stock is varied and extensive and yet so w-ll displayed that nowhere is there evidence of crowding or lack of harmony From the show windows to the office located in the rear, every thing which greets the eye whether in case or shelf is pleasing to the vision. More than passing mention is due the wall paper stock which embraces the latest designs in the various grades fiom the least to the most expensive, The patterns are attractive, mgardless of price, theie are hundreds to select from nnd you do not nay more than you would in Omaha or Ch cngo. The line of periodicals und papers carried is an important feature of the business, nny magazine or paper for which thore is any demand being kept and subscriptions are taken for any not generally sold. Mr. Newtonnas made n gratifying success here; hid business is a credit to hun hiiiI the city in which he lives and he in esteemed for his personal work as well as hib well know integrity and sound business judgment. We incline to think that with hull a chance men of Mr Newton's type would win in any community. It is not necessary for us to nolo that he has long been nn advocate for whatever will keep North Platte. Dr. Voorheei Lucas. Specialist Kyo, Ear, Nose, Throat. Woman's Diseases. Tho profession of medicine Is one of tho noblest as well as tho most Impor tant of callings and those who pursue It must be philanthropic In disposi tion, eneigetle. of sound Judgment and learned. Their reward Is not always money but' the silent endeavors of charlt. lend an additional charm to the profession which cares for tho whole human race. In noting tho reputable and ethical physicians of our town and countr we desire to bear testimony to theli moial worth, professional competence and skill, and among thorn no one stands higher than Dr. Lucas. This gentleman has been with us soenteen. ears and has built up a large and gow ing practice. Tho writer has Inspected manv doc tor's offices in his travels thiough the countrj but neer one better equip ped than this gentleman's. Here wo llud the latest and best Instrument, costing thousands of dollars, and Chicago or New York could furnish no liner. Dr. Lucas is a graduato of the Nol braska state university medical schoo niid has also taken special courses In Aew ork and spent almost a year in Vienna at tho greatest hospitals in tho world. Dr. Lucas Is still a student as the profession of medicine is advancing rapidly and ho keeps pace with it In all respects. He specializes as wo all know In dis eases of tho eye, ear, hosh -and throat also women's diseases and every day is a busy day for Dr. Lucas. Ho is not only one of our leading physicians but Is likewise a public spirited, entorpiising citizen, willing to do his part in putting North Platte still further ahead as he has always naa unbounded faith In our thriving, progressive city and her work . Miss Cleo R Gappell, Co Suot. One subject on winch our entire citizenship is agreed it, libel al ami prompt provision for the welfare of our schools Education is the jewel most eiigerl sought theae days antf thousands of children fiae been educared In our city and country schools and guno out into the world to become successlul men and cuMuied women. Our advan tages compare lavorably with mu h larger towns and fortunate indeed is the youth or miss bearing a diploma from our excellent institutions. This leads us to say that no nflice- is of more importance than that of county super intendent and we are entitled to tho best indeed. 'I lie teacher's worlc is next to the mother's; thoie is no nobler worthier task than moulding thu char acters of the rising generation and fort unate surely is Ihe county the schools of which are diiected by' u competent, up to date, enthusiastic superintendent. Miss Channel! possesses rare nuuhlicu- tions and our people chose wicely in deed when they seemed her trained, effective &trviees This lady has made the broad and noble field of education her life woik nnd gteat indeed has been her success. She puts heart and soul in her work, never sparing herself, and .Miss Chnppoll is thoroughly familiar with nil branches of her profession. She makes a study of the various edu cational method pursued those days in the large centers and we know our schools under her control will make greater progress than ever made before. Mins Chappell taught for several years in Brady and wo might add has received a thorough normal training herielf. This lady is well adapted indeed for educational work and it is seldom that such u well qualified county supennten holds this important position. Miss Chappell is a lady of strong personality, executive force, und gracioun, refined hearing. United to this, thorough scholarship, teaching ability, nnd a brond, comprehensive grasp of the needs of our schools, with tact nnd un tiring industry, and we have in Miss Chappell a very capable und estimable county superintendent. We wisn to emphasize the fact that Miss Chappell visits every school in tho district once a year and sometimes twice and though this means extra work and expense Miss Chappell glcdly under takes it as she, as we have said does not spare herself in making every effort for the school. C S. DAVIS, POSTMASTER, Custodian Post Office and Court House.
