The Meier Drug company has had a chimney constructed on the build ing occupied by their store, as the one which was there was in such a dilapidated condition that it was necessary to rebuild it. It is in good condition now, and a cheerful fire greets those who enter the place. Mrs. G. W. McCracken and little daughter departed last Tuesday for her former home at Orient, Iowa, where .they will visit with relatives for the major part of the week, re turning home next Saturday. While there, they will be guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Johnson, the parents of Mrs. McCracken. Frank Moore continues to ship appl6s, having already loaded out a total of four cars. He receives ?2..r0 per bushel for them loaded on the cars at Murray. This looks pretty good, but Mr. .Moore is selling senne pretty good apples too, so we guess he isn't getting a cent more than they are worth. John Vantinc and wife, who have been spending the larger portion tf the summer in the west, returned home a few days ago and are stay ing for the present with Mrs. Van tine's mother, Mrs. Win. Brown. They were at Estes park while away, and also traveled over a goodly por tion of Colorado, Xebraska and South Dakota. J. P.

A mistaken idea seems to prevail in some localities that rural and town interests are widely separated, and there is almost a feeling of antagonism between farmer and business man. This should not be. A good thrifty town, with good busi ness houses, large stocks of goods and busy merchants is not only a great convenience to the farmer in supplying his needs with the least loss of time and expense, but also enhances the value of his farm land and other property. Also a good crop of corn or small grain means as much to the merchant as the farmer. If. the crop is short he has nothing to sell and no money to spend; consequently the merchant's busi ness is cut short accordingly. Let us get together and boost.
