is being liberally supported by the
business men of that hustling little
city.
J. B. Fullerton of Atkinson was a
pleasant caller at this office last
Friday, to inspect the new Linotype
lhachine. J. B. remarked that The
Frontier had not ought to have any
trouble now to make a good warm
campaign, as we were using hot metal
to set the paper with.

almost equally prized invitations for

warded to Mr. Dishner by Judge

Last Tuesday the county board se
lected The Frontier as the official
paper of Holt county for the ensuing
year. The vote that made the se
lection of The Frontier possible was
cast by Chairman Sievers and in vot
ing for The Frontier he said that he
had been elected to office upon both
tickets and as the Independent had
been the official paper the past year
he believed that The Frontier should
have it this year so that our readers
would have an opportunity to scan
the legal notices published by the
county, and acordingly voted for The
Frontier. We tender oilr thanks
to the members of the board
for the designation and can assure
them that their action will benefit
a larger portion of their constituency,
on account of our large circulation,
than the naming of any other paper
in the county.
Several people have been in the
city from the southern part of the
county the past week and they have
been talking a ltitle politics. From
them we learn that they are boosting
Supervisor Hubbell as the republi
can candidate for county clerk. Mr.
Hubbell has been a member of the
county board for the past three years
and has filled the position with credit
and ability. Should he decide to
enter the primary as a candidate for
this office he would be a very strong
candidate, especially in the west
ern part of the county, where he is
well known. We understand that
Clerk McNichols will retire at the
end of his term and P. C. Kelly, who
served three years as deputy, is
understood to be looking with long
ing eyes toward the democratic nom
SlInllrtl/fiirflirnllMInJlnlfnllnlfnllnlfnlfnMnllnlfnllnlinNnllnllnllnllnllnll
ination and may decide to enter the
race. T. D. Hanley, present deputy,
may also be in the running, accord
ing to some of his friends. Several
others are considering entering the
field, but no announcements have as
yet been made.
Ice men are greatly alarmed over
the continued warm weather. They
say that unless we get a cold snap
within a few weeks there will be
no ice this summer, unless it is ship
ped in, and they claim that the price
they would have to sell at to come
out even would make it prohibitive
for the ordinary consumer.
Dennis Hanley, one of the pioneer
residents of this county, who has
lived upon a farm in Grattan town
ship for the past thirty-six years,
has decided to quit farming and has
rented his farm and will offer his per
sonal property for sale at public
auction on February 9th and will
move to this city. Mr. Hanley has
ben one of our most prosperous farm
ers and has earned a competency up
on the farm and will hereafter take
life easy in this city.
Advertising Farm Sales.
An exchange tells of a farmer who
spent $25 advertising his public sale,
which is about four times the amount
usually spent. The result was that
the sale brought him over $700 more
than his highest estimate, so he
thinks that it was money well spent.
Farmers are just beginning to learn
the value of liberal newspaper adver
tising of public sales. A few dol
lars spent in advertising in the local
paper will be read by ten times as
many people as read the bills which
cost nearly as much as the adver
tisement and therefore is a much
better investment. We would not
advise dropping the sale bills, but it
should be supplemented by some
vigorous newspaper advertising.

materialize last Wednesday night.
It started out in the early evening
like an old timer and many were of
the opinion that there would be a
genuine blizzard before morning, but
in this they were dissapointed, as
the next morning was bright and
clear and what lttle snow fell the
night before soon dissapeared. Some
farmers are now thinking seriously
of getting, ready for their spring)!
work.
The following have been selected
as members of the petit jury for
the regular June term, of district
court: Arthur Barrett, E. F. Barnes,

Last Monday the school board
awarded the contract for furnishing
the seats and other furniture for the
new schol building, including window
curtains and shades, to O. F. Biglin,
he being the lowest bidder, taking
quality of goods offered into consid
eration. The securing of this con
tract was quite a feat for the local
man as he secured the contract in
competition with some of the largest
dealers in school furniture in the
west and it proves conclusively that
you can buy at home as cheap, if
not cheaper, than you can by sending
away. The furniture has been or
dered and will probably arrive in
about three weeks.
The new Library will be finished
next week and turned over to the
Library Board. This will be one of
the most complete buildings in the
state, having every convenience. The
citizens of O’Neill should assist the
Board in the furnishing of books;
those that can afford to should con
tribute liberally. Several gentlemen
have agred to purchase books and
present the same to the Library.
The secretary, J. A. Donohoe, will
receive such contributions and ack
acknowledge receipt for same. Don’t
stand back because you can only
afford a small volume, small contri
butions are as acceptable as larger
ones. Make a special effort to boost
this enterprise; it is all yours.

Frank J. Dishner of O’Neill left for
home last night in blissful ignorance
of the good things tonight and tomor

Wonder if the democratic adminis

did weather we have been having
this winter, or should the credit go
, to the member of the cabinet from
this state?
