you need anything in the line right

Mrs. W. A. Brown met with quite
a serious accident on Monday of this
week, at which time she experienced a
very narrow escape from serious jn
jurv in a runawav. She was driving
one of James Brown's horses, an in
some manner it became frightenei
and unmanageable for Mrs. Brown
ar.d ran awav. In passing down the
road near the residence of S. G. Latta
Mrs. Brown was thrown from the
buggv, striking on the concrete walk
with sufficient force to render her un
conscious for some time, and at first
her injuries were thought to be very
serious. No bones were broken, and
with the exceptions of a few bruises
her injuries are not considered set
ious r.t tiie present time.
The Place to Ruv Lumber.
There never was a season so favor
able for building and making im
ptovements around your farm home
as this one has been, and the activity
around tne .Murray lumber yard is an
evidence of this fact. More of all
grades of lumber is being sold thi
sitting than for many seasons. The
demand for good goods and the fact
that it can always be found at thi
lumber yard at tne rignt prices are
the causes for the increased business
Mr. Kikendall is after the lumber
business of this locality, not only from
the fact that it is due him, but be
cause he is ready and w illing to meet
all competition on the numerous
grades of lumber.
New Pullman Car.
George Nickels has purchased a new
tauto. and it is one of those fine little
touring cars, known as the Pullman
and while it may be new in this part
of the world, there ; re sections where
it has a reputation that will compete
with anv of them. There is no doubt
but what it is one of the best cars on
the market for the price. Mr. Nickels
has taken the agency for this car in
this locality, and of course will be
pleased to demonstrate the many good
points it has at any time. It is mod
erate in price and is known as the
Pullman, Jr., but has ample power
and room in the car t; accommodate
all demands that will be made of it
See Mr. Nickels in regard to this lit
tle wonder if vou are in the market
for a car of this class.
Will Install Lighting Plant.
Louie Puis and August Engelke
meier made a trip to Omaha last Sat
urday, at which time the new Alamo
Lighting plant for the fine farm resi
dence of Mr. Engelkemeier was order
ed and will be installed in the near
future. This is one of the finest farij'i
lighting systems on the market today,
and is being installed in many of the
farm houses in this locality. It is an
electric plant, and made in most any
size desired to suit the size of the
farm home and all outbuildings. The
new plant will be installed within a
few days.
Fine Entertainment.
The entertainment given by the
Luce Family Concert Co., at the
Christian church last Saturday eve-
ing, was ell attended, and was one
of the highest class entertainments
that is making towns of the size of
Murrav. They were among the best
in their line. We hope we may have
the opportunity of attending a numb
er of entertainments like these in the
near futnre.
The Journal does job work.
From all present indications there
will be no great reduction in the price
of wheat in the near future. Right
now the dealers are ready to close
or contract with the farmers of this
locality for the new crop, and they
will buy now at v$1.14 per bushel.
When was there a time before that
the farmer could contract in the
spring. Is it advisable for the farmer
to accept this prpice; he can make big
money at this figure, it is true, but he
may be able to make a great deal
more by holding his crop. He will
have to be his own judge and take
his own risk, there is always a chance
to make and a chance to loose.
Family Dinner.
All of the children and theif fam
ilies, with the exception of Searle, i
gathered at the Home of Mr. and Mrs.!
A. J. Davis last Saturday to take;
dinner at the old home. It was in- j
deed a pleasant gathering, ard those '
in attendance were: Mr. and Mrs..!
Meek Da is and family, Dr. and Mrs.!

it is only cared for now we will have
some boulevards out that way.
John Whiteman would never take

as big as an ox' and never failed to
hear a cry of distress. He not only
hears them, but gets out and does
what he can to relieve the cry. If
John ever dies which God forbid
this'community will have a hard time
filling his shoes.
