I am willing to do double my share. The Postofflce , and Express office records show there is $145,000 a Year ) goes out of O’Neill to other towns for ! groceries, dry goods, shoes, clothing. Which is hardly ever used when they come back. The money is generally wasted. The National Cloak and Suit Co. take out of O’Neill over $75,. 000, which would make good business here for j! 3 Good Stores, ii This money that is sent away is a dead loss because the cheap .junk that !; is sent back in return could be bought in O’Neill at half the price. But to show you that I I Am a Sport. Every time John M. Smith, Sears I Roebuck, Montgomery Ward & Co., National Cloak & Suit Co., give 1$ to any public benefit I Will Give $2. if I have some town lots,etc.,and 1 am ■E interested here and I want to see | O’Neill grow and I want to double my share 1 $2 to $1. I am figuring on sending out one or two old grecery men, who have been taking orders for Williams & Murphy ! in Chicago for years in this territory. Some people are bound they want to buy from peddlers. Now these men will drive to your place the same as always and give you Williams & c Murphy's Wholesale prices. You pay the freight from Chicago to O’Neill. If you don’t want to wait for the goods to come from Chicago you can l meet these salesmen at my store here on Saturdays. They can pick the goods out of stock and figure the freight and you can take the goods home with you. The reason the little kids around town have so much money is when their mothers give them 15 or 25 cents and send them to the credit stores to A. M. G. S. S. C. J. et B. M- V. H.

When you have a bilious attack your liver fails to perform its functions. You become constipated. The food you eat ferments in your stomach in stead of digesting. This inflames the stomach and causes nausea, vomiting and a terrible headache. Take Cham berlain’s Tablets. They will tone up your liver, clean out your stomach and you will soon be as well as ever. They only cost a quarter. Obtainable everywhere. 51-5 Nick White Passes Away. Nicholas White died at his home in Omaha last Tuesday after a very brief illness. The remains were shipped to this city and interred in the Catholic cemetery this morning, at the side of his wife who died on July 20, 1910.

Four children were born to bless the union, three girls and one boy. The children are: Nora and Ethel of Omaha; Mrs. W. S. Holz of Fremont and Thomas, who lives upon the old home place near Dorsey. Nick White was one of the most lovable men who ever lived in this county. Quiet and unassuming! jhe was the soul of honor and would go out of his way any day to do a favor for a friend. He was a resident of this county for over thirty years and no man had more friends than he and no man passed to the great beyond in years that brought such grief to the people of this county. In his passing one of nature’s noblemen has gone but his memory will forever be cherished in the hearts of hundreds of his friends. He was sick but a few days, death being caused by pneumonia.

A short time ago one of our sister states startled the world by stating that “the value of crop production and live stock on thehr farm for the year 1915 averaged $3,660 per farm.” Many readers misunderstood the statement and took it to be “per capita” instead of “per farm” as stated, and considerable discussion ensued. It is nothing new for Nebraska to “stand in the clear” by comparison agriculturally, se here are the figures as prepared by the secretary of the State Board of Agriculture: NEBRASKA—1915 CROP PRODUCTION.
