if Boyd county and a man well known

md came to this country with his
larents in 1852 and settled at She
loygan, Wis., where he remained for
ibout twenty years and then moved
0 Nebraska, settling in Cuming
ounty, near West Point. Mr. Kloke
lerved the people of Cuming county
or four years as county treasurer
md was a painstaking and efficient
ifficial. When Boyd county was
hrown open to settlement in 1892 he
noved to that county and settled upon
1 farm near Spencer, where he resided
ip to the time of his death. Deceased
vas 78 years of age and leaves to
nourn his demise four sons and two

1 good citizen and leaves a host of
riends, besides his relatives, to mourn
lis death.

These are not sale prices—these are
my regular prices. When I have a
sale I will cut the prices for a sale off
of these. The reason I tun making
this list is on account of so many peo
ple asking for a price list. I find I
cannot use Sears Roebuck catalogues
as they don’t handle the same brands
and most of their prices are higher.
A good way to help a town is to
treat the people right who trade in a
town and not try to kill off every fel
low who starts up a business. Just
because four or five stores had con
trolled the business of O’Neill for the
last fifteen years is no reason that
they can do it forever. The people
helped them and made them rich, then
because the people started to help a
new one a little a big howl goes up at
once.
On underwear you paid a big dif
ference. Even the 20 per cent dis
count at the Sales did not cut down
the difference. On union suits you
can have any suit in the house for 80c
and the two-piece suits you can have
for 75c.
Davidson Bros., in Sioux City,
charge 12% cents a yard for the lace
and insertion that I sell four yards for
5c, and six bunches for 25c. Yes it is
just as good and some is a whole lot
better. Davidson’s figures 33 1-3 per
cent for cost of doing business and the
biggest store in O’Neill only figures
20 per cent. Pillow slips that David
son charges 12% for I sold for 7c.
The brooms that the peddlers sold
you three for $1.00, I’ll sell you 3 for a
Dollar and give you 8c back.
People living in town should come
here when they want good fresh
butter and eggs because the farmers
trade here and I always have plenty.

question about it. The moving picture

people used more of it.

goods, owning six good well improv
ed farms near Atkinson, the rent of
which alone would allow him to live
the balance of his days in luxury. But
Joe says that if he quit working he
would not know what to do with him
self, as he was never very much of a
hand for loafing. He says that he
will remain with the company for a
few years more, or until the great
European war is over, when he will
take a trip to the land of his nativity,
Ireland, to again visit the scenes of
his youth. That he will have a good
time in the “old dart” goes without
saying.
County Board Organize For 1916.
The members of the county board of
supervisors met in their office in the
court room last Tuesday morning and
organized for the year 1916 by re
electing M. P. Sullivan as chairman

formal ballot Mr. Sullivan received
six votes and H. W.' Tomlinson one
and the informal ballot was made
formal and Mr. Sullivan was elected
chairman by acclamation. Chairman
Sullivan then announced the following
committees for the ensuing year:
Court House, Jail and Legal Ex
pences—Sievers, Hayes and Hubbard.
Printing and Supplies—Tomlinson,
Hubbard and Bousch.
Finance and Official Bonds—Hub
bard, Tomlinson and Bausch.

NEW PICTURE SHOW
We have rented the K. C. auditorium and will en
deavor to run a first class moving picture show. We have
bought the best equipment on the market and with a build
ing like the auditorium can certainly give you your
money’s worth. No better picture any place regardless of
price. We will run two four-reel shows each evening at a
uniform price of 10c. The coming Tuesday night will be
what we will call opening night and all ladies will be ad
mitted free. Ladies may receive tickets for the above
night free of charge by calling at Jordan’s Store. Don’t
forget the musical comedy, “Miss Modiste,” which will be

bids filed for blank books.
The board also ordered the county
clerk to draw a warrant in favor of
the state for $1,000 to apply on the
old insane account that the county
owes the state. This claim amounted
to $3,221 and as this was the first
payment made thereon there is a bal
ance still due the state of $2,221.
The board are working on the set
tlement with the county officers and
will probably be in session for ^three
weeks.

I I AM A GOOD MORAL RISK
So they told me at my Bank. 1 have been doing business
with them for a good many years. I liked the quiet courtesy
with which they treated me. I built up quite a bank account
I never overdrew it and I won their confidence. A good
chance to buy a choice piece of ground at an attractive
price came my way. The Bank helped me. They said I had
been doing business with them for some time and they con
sidered me a good moral risk.Are you a good moral
risk ? Do we know you ? Why not open an account here
and get acquainted?

Bad Cold Quickly Broken Up.
Mrs. Martha Wilcox, Gowanda, N.
Y., writes: “I first used Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy about eight years ago.
At that time I had a hard cold and
coughed most of the time. It proved
to be just what I needed. It broke up
the cold in a few dyas, and the cough
entirely disappeared. I have told
many of my friends of the good I re
ceived through using this medicine,
and all who have used it speak of it in
the highest terms.” Obtainable every
where. 30-4
