Another Light .Meeting.
Those interested in the new light
ing plant for Murray held another
meeting Tuesday evening for the pur
pose of making some advancement to
ward the future success of landing an
electric light plant in Murray, but
from what we can learn they are just
about at the same old point they have
been for the past few weeks. While
the promoters of the proposition are
and have been for some time assured
that Murray will have a light plant,
up to the present time they have not
secured sufficient support or not
enough consumers who will come
across with the required initiation fee
to install us large a plant as they
would like. There wiil be another
meeting held Friday evening of this
week, and it is the duty of all interest
ed to be present and assist in install
ing as large a plant as possible.
M. W. A. Meeting.
There wiil be a special meeting of
the M. W. A. lodge on next Saturday
evening. December 18th. All members
are requested to turn out, as there
are some matters of business to be
looked after.
Don't be Vfraid.
Don't be afraid of a little fun at
home, good people. Don't shut up
your houses lest the sun fade your
carpets, and your heart lest a laugh
should shake down some of the musty
cobwebs there. If you want to ruin
your sons, let them think that all fun
and social enjoyment must be left on
the threshold when they come at night
When once home is regarded as only
a place to eat, to drink and to sleep,
the work is begun that leads to gamb
ling house and degraduation. Young
people must have fun and relaxation
somewhere. If thev do not find it at
their hearthstone it will be sought in
other places. Therefore, let the fire
burn brightly at home ever delightful
with all these little arts that parents
so artfully understand. Don t repress
the buoyant spirits of merriment
around the lamp and firelight of home
that blot out their remembrance of
many a care and annoyance during
the daw and the best safeguard they
can take with them into the world is
the unseen influence of a bright and
cheerful domestic sanctum.
WORKED IN THE HAY FIELD.
Arthur Jones, Allen, Kas., writes
"I have been troubled with bladder and
kidney troubles for a good many
years. If it were not for Foley Kidney
Pills I would never be able to work in
the hay field." Men and women past
middle age find these pills a splendid
remedy for weak, overworked or dis
eased kidneys. Sold everywhere.
For Sale.
Five sections of land in Duell coun
ty, Nebraska, from $12 to $25 per
acre; part farm land and part graz
ing; some well improved. Good terms
