. Pleasant Time for Mr. Hast.
There was quite a surprise
in
ore for Mr. Hast Tuesdav even-'one
inp, when he returned from his
business trip down in Richardson
county. During his absence a
number of the business men of
Murray planned and carried to a
successful end a very pleasant
stag parly for him, simply as a
remembrance of the high esteem
in which they have regarded Mr.
Rast during his few months' busi
ness career in Murray. There
were quite a number present and
tho evening was most enjoyably
spent in cards, luncheon and brief
talks by those present. All were
unanimous in expressing their
deepest regrets of Mr. Hasl's soon
departure from their circle. The
occasion was a very enjoyable one
for all, and will long be remem
bered by Mr. Hast. 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.

Holmes and Mrs. I). C. Rhoden
bad charge of the fancy work, and
in place of a boolh Ihey had a
Christmas tree on which to hang
Ihe articles. Mrs. O. A. Davis did
well wilh the market booth.
The dinner and supper at the
church were both well patronized.
What few things were left Mr.
John Holescheidt, sold at auction.
All in nil Ihe ladies were well
deased and realized $107 for their
work, which, if we are any judge,
we think is very creditable lo Ihe
ladies.

Hatt Produce Co.
Buys Chopie Engine.
Thomas F.. 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.
Wendell lfeil was in Ihe city to
day; he has been suffering with a
severe case of blood poison, which

noticed anything wrong with his
hand a small pimple came on the
lop of the middle finger. He ap
plied some home remedies for a
couple of days, but. the hand con
tinued to swell and finally he was
compelled to call a physician and
had lo go to bed for several days.
The trouble at last yielded to
treatment, and although far from
being well, yet Mr. Heil was able
lo be in town today.
