Mr. Hast has been a mighty good citizen; his business methods have won the friendship of all, and the patron age of many, and it is with the deepest regrets that the people of the coininunily will say good-bye to him. Success lo him, wherever he may cast his lot, is the wish of all. The Bazaar Big Success.

Fulton of Nehawka, of the best blacksmiths in the county, and a most excellent judge of all of the good points of a gasoline engine, yesterday pur chased a new model Chopie en gine. Mr. Fulton will use the en gine to generate power for his steel hammer and other ma chinery at his Nehawka shop. Ne hawka is located in one of the best agricultural sections of the coun try and Mr. Fulton's trade as a smith and wagonmaker has in creased beyond his expectations, necessitating the employment of more help in his shop, and the heavier work will be done in the future with the Chopie engine. Mr. Fulton will not be disappoint ed in his selection of an engine, as the Chopie engine will soon save its cost in fuel. Mr. Fulton has used many different makes of gasidine engines and has never found one which will compete with the Chopie in all material point9. Has Blood Poison.
