partial, crowd, he might challenge
O’Neill’s own.

radius of fifteen miles of O’Neill.
Farmers of this section have received
from two produce dealers in this city

still have about three weeks work be
fore they finish up the season. They
have been threshing in the north
eastern part of the county and in
western Knox county and say the
grain has been turning out exception
ally good. Wheat has gone as high as
twenty-five bushels to the acre; oats
as high as forty-six bushels and rye
twenty bushels, and they say the
quality is better than is has been for
several years.
Last week Anton Toy sold his lot,
just east of the Royal Theatre, to A.
E. Dimmitt, consideration $1,800. Mr.
IDimmitt is excavating now and will
join with Harry Jordan and erect a
double bulding upon this lot and the
one adjoining, purchased by Mr. Jor
[ dan some ten days ago. This buliding
will add greatly to the appearance of
east Douglas street. That property
has greatly increased in value on this
street in the past year and a half is
evident from the fact that Mr. Toy
purchased this lot about a year and a
half ago for $1,000, clearing $800 upon
his investment in a year and a half.
John Cook, living about six miles
northwest of this city, met with a
serious accident last Friday evening.
Mr. Cook was going home with a load

When turning the corner at First and
Douglas street the candy pail turned
over and Mr. Cook fell off the wagon,
striking on his head and shoulders.
He suffered a fractured collar bone
and two fractured ribs, one of the ribs
puncturing the lung. He was in a
serious condition for several days, but
is now on the road to recovery, a fact
that will be pleasing news to his many
friends in the county.
Sheriff Grady went down to Central
City last Sunday morning and brought
back G. W. Rider, who was under ar
rest there upon advices from this
county, charged with stealing J. Mc
Caffrey’s car. He had the car in his
possession when arrested. Rider took
the car a week ago last Friday and
had it in his possession a week and a
day when he was arrested. He was
brought back Sunday night and is now
in the county jail. Mr. McCaffrey
went down with the sheriff and drove
the car back. Rider had formerly been
in the employ of McCaffrey on their
ranch southwest of Emmet. He is a
young man about 27 years of age.
J. C. Gromer, of Hugo, Colo., was ip
the city last Friday visiting old time
friends. Mr. Gromer was a resident of
this county in the poineer days, living
on a ranch southeast of Amelia. He
was an ardent and enthusiastic repub
lican in them days and we are glad to
chronicle that he is still a fighting re
publican. Mr. Gromer left Holt
county twenty-three years ago last
spring, living in Missouri for a time
and some eleven years ago moved to
Colorado, where he now resides. He
is engaged in the lumber business and
has a farm near Hugo and is prosper
ous, a fact that his many old Holt
county friends will be pleased to learn.
Mr. and Mrs. Gromer were visiting
their old time friends and neighbors,
Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Moss of Atkinson.
T. T. Waid will have a sale at his
farm southeast of this city next Wed
nesday, October 18, when he will dis
pose of all of his personal property.
Mr. Waid is going south to spend the
winter and says that if he finds a place
that looks exceptionally good to him
he may decide to stay a year or so.
T. T. tried the south once and was
mighty glad to get back to good old
Holt. That time he disposed of his
farm before going, however, and pur->
chased another upon his return. He
says this time that he will hold on to
his place and may return in the spring.
He has many friends in this vicinity
whd wish him a very pleasant winter
among the southern magnolias but
hope to see him in his old haunts when
the grass begins to shoot next spring.

“I RAKED HAY”
I am a boy of 11. I raked hay
all through last season. When it
was over I had $5.00. I heard
about other people putting their
money in the bank, so I thought I
would put mine in the Bank. I
am keeping my money in the
bank, because I know where it is.
We want the Boy who makes hay while the

Days come. Bring or send $1.00 here to start

How Catarrh is Contracted.
Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the colds which their
children contract. The inflamation of
the mucus membrane, at first acute,
becomes chronic and the child has
chronic catarrh, a disease that is sel
dom cured and that may prove a life’s
burden. Many persons who have this
loathsome disease will remember hav
ing had frequent colds at the time it
was contracted. A little forethought,
a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Rem
edy judiciously used, and all this
trouble might have been avoided. Ob
tainable everywhere. 17-4
