There doesn't seem much use for a mer chant to tell you about warm clothes when we have California beat for weather! But we can tell you of the best asset your home could possibly have, and that is a piano. We have two high grade pianos at our store which were placed with us on consignment. As the time is up, we are going to give somebody the best bar gain ever offered in an instrument. Don't put off buying, but start your boy or girl in time with their music. Murray has one of the best teachers in the state, arid we have the best piano at a reasonable price and fully guaranteed. HBATT & MURRAY :: TUTT NEBR. Oscar Campbell, the 8-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Andy Camp bell, is quite ill. Mrs. Jacob Lohnes of Eight Mile Grove is very sick, but not very seriously at the present time. Mrs. B. F.

A. D. Willberger, of Omaha came' down Saturday and assumed the '.management of the Nold lumber yard. Mr. Willberger a very pleasing gentleman, and we believe the people of Murray and vicinity will find him an ac commodating and genial gentle man to deal with. There should be some effort made to have the early morning train stop. If the railroad com pany refuses the appeal, place the matter in the hands of the rail way commission. There is to much demand for the stoppage of this train, and the traveling pub lic is greatly discommoded. The Rev. Albert Gordon of Lin coin will conduct evangelisti meetings in the United Presby terian church during the week of January 11. The services will b held Monday, Tuesday, Wednes day and Thursday evenings at 7:30 and Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Everyone is invited to all these services.
