The State Board of Education pur chased the Wayne Normal last week, pacing $70,000 therefor.

Whether the statement was made from authentic information or not we are unable to say. At the regular meeting of Holt Camp No. 1710 last Tuesday evening the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Geo. A. Miles, Venerable Consul; P. J. McManus, wortny Advisor; u.

A couple of new ap plications were presented and the members decided that they would make an aggressive campaign for membership the ensuing year. The camp now has a membership of 130 and the members believe that with a little work on their part the member ship could be increased to 200. A. C. Tolliver and Bob Herre of Ainsworth were in the city last Tues day endeavoring to secure the support of the citizens of this place for Ains worth in the normal school light. From what these gentlemen said it was understood there that O’Neill was out of the race and they were of the opinion that if that was the case O’Neill should favor Ainsworth. The gentlemen were informed that O’Neill was in the “scrap” to a finish and they returned home on the afternoon train without having assisted their cause any. W'e understand they also visited Atkinson soliciting support and that after the citizens of the little city on the west had been in formed over the phone that O’Neill was still in the race they also had to leave there without having received any assistance from the citizens of Atkinson. ■ wwiinnwiiaB——% J.

Married, at Harrison, Nebr., on Sunday, November 14, 1909, William B. Graves of O’Neill, toMissArelie E. Holden of Chambers, Nebr., Rev. T. J. Peacock, pastor of the M. E. church officiating. The above mnouncement received by O’Neill 'riends of the young couple in the city Tuesday evening was the first inti nation their many O’Neill friends lad of the wedding. To say that it was a surprise is putting it mildly as iheir most intimate friends hardly mew they were acquainted. Mr. Graves left O’Neill on Novem oer 12, presumably for Omaha, but look the train for Crawford, where Miss Holden has been employed as a itenographer the past four months and on Sunday accompanied by Miss Holden went to Harrison, where the jeremony was performed. After the wedding they took a honeymoon trip if ten days through the Black Hills, ifter which Mrs. Graves resumed her luties in the law office at Crawford, Having agreed to remain until her imployers secured a successor, while Mr. Graves returned to his business n this city and none suspected he iad become a benedict during his ibsence. The groom is one of O’Neill’s most popular young business men, having jonducted a jewelry store in the old Bole building the past two years, and nas by his ability, integrity and busi ness acumen built himself up a splen 4id business. Tiie bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Holden of Chambers and for some two years was a stenogra pher in the office of County Clerk Simar. She is a charming young lady witti a sweet and amiable disposition and has a host of friends in O’Neill and the southern part of the county. The bride returned from Omaha Tuesday evening, where she had been visiting friends the past few days, and have gone to housekeeping in the rooms over the jewelry store. The Frontier joins the many friends of tills happy young couple in wishing them long life and prosperity. §§ "~jl A Change ON JANUARY i, 1910, we have decided to make a change in our present method of doing business. During the past few years the price of meat has been very high and we believe the people of O’Neill will appreciate a change that will give them splendid meat at reduced prices. In order to accomplish this we have decided that on and after January 1 we will not make delivery or give credit. All meats will be sold for cash only and we will not make deliveries, therefore can sell much closer. During the time we have been in business in O’Neill we have done a splendid business, but in order to keep up the expense of a delivery and to carry big accounts we have to sell at a good sized profit. This has not been satisfactory to us nor to our customers, and we have therefore decided upon this change. On and after New Years every package that leaves this shop will be paid for, and we can convince the citizens of O’Neill that it will be money in their pocket to call and get their meat and pay cash for it. Wn\. GielisK THE CASH MEAT MARKET gg] gl A Christmas Suggestion The Sioux City Daily Tribune at J2.00 per year is tiie proper gift for your friends and one they will appre elate. Why not send it to them, and we will write^a suitable letter to the recipient explaining who it is from.
