Xehawka New s. Is Getting Better. From Saturday' Daily. Vilas Sheldon, who ha- been sick with typhoid fever for near ly live weeks, is reported to be convale.-cini. Should nothing happen he ought to mend rapidly. His greate.-t complaint now is that they won't lei him have any thing to eat. However, he has been promised a meal Sunday and is looking forward to that lime with a good deal of pleasurable anticipation. The chances are, though, he will be disappointed in what his attendants consider a meal for a hungry man. Xe hawka News.

Our friend, Lig Brown, of Kenosha, was in the city today limking afler his week-end shop ping and greeting his many friends. He brought with him a valuable relic of the days of our forefathers in the shape of a continental bill of the value, in those days, of,! he amount, of forty dollars, and reads Ihusly: "This bill entitles the bearer to receive forty Spanish milled dollars of Ihe value thereof in gold or silver, acocrding lo a resolution passed by congress at Philadel phia, September 20(11, 1778." The signatures to the hill are so dim lhal we are unable to distinguish Ihe names. It is printed on very common paper and is about 2 V-i by 3 inches in diameter. Mr. Brown values ibis gentle remind er of the struggles our fore fathers hail in freeing us from the tyrants who ruled this land witii an iron nand in those days ft is quite a curiosity for (hose who have read of continental money, but never seen any of it.

Their decision will lie reposed as it becomes known. Kim wood Leader-Kcho. AN ADDITION TO THE SCHLITZ BUILDING by law, am! lhal a number of the names are forgeries.

Mrs. Harry Kuhney of Platts mouth came over last Saturday to spend a few days with her daughter, Mrs. Fred 11. Speck and family.

Tracy Leyda and family left last Thursday for their home at Imperial, afler a visit, with homo folks. They were accompanied by Monroe Wiles, who goes for a change in climate on account of his health. Mr. ami Mrs. C. May of Morton, Illinois, who have been here for several days looking afler their farm interests, were well pleased with crops and think that every thing looks very fine here. They may well feel proud of their farm, as it is valuable land. In a deal that was made re cently Louis Lorenson became the owner of the properly oc cupied by Morgen Johnson on the South side. Hans Johnson be came the owner of the Lorenson home on Ehlora avenue, known as the Harrison place.

Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Bish and , lghler returned Monday even- ; from a month's visit and ht-seeing trip. They spent 1 lirst half of the month at see in Julius Pit, a young man of sterling qualities and one who possesses great ability for the position of coininissioner. He is as honest as Hie day is long, and if elected lo this responsible position everyone having business before that board can depend up on receiving fair treatment at his hands. :o : .

After a great deal of work Ihe car was dragged out and Ihe party was able to proceed on its way.

CASS-COUNTT PEOPLE IN ARKANSAS DOING WELL Cosmopolitan Club Dance.

These dances have a reputa tion throughout the county and a large crowd is looked for from neighboring towns. cannot evade Ihe fact that Sen ator Morehead voted for Ihe law as it is now before Ihe people for approval.

In all he has a ISO-acre farm, with timber anil pasture, with only 75 acres that he broke this season.
