Much Coon Hunting.
That is, many of the people about
Union are putting in much time. n
the search, if not the chase, tor iney
are not finding many of the fuzzy
animals to give chase to. Still, as
the season is nearly out In which
they are allowed to hunt the coon,
the hunters of which Ben Martin
seems to the moving spirit, art out
searching for evidences of a coon in
the neighborhood. W. A. Hicks from
N'ehawka, who was over looking af
ter some wells was considerably ex
cited also with the prospect of get
ting into the game.
A Three Cornered Contest.
Horace Griffin, who conducts a
blacksmith shop, makes a speciality
of sharpening discs, and is bidding
pretty strong for the work. Harry
McCorrell and Ray Becker, have a
machine which they have installed
in a truck which they take to the
farmer and sharpen the discs on the
farm. Victor Clarence also has in
outfit of "the same kind, this making
three for the sharpening of dics.
Looks like the farmer might have
it much his way, during the contest
for the business. With three in the
field it does not look like anyone
wouVS make any money out of the
campaign. However, every one has
a righf to get as much of the busi
ness as possible.

and has not done as much business
as he should to justify the keeping
of the office here

like Union should
exert all their influence to keep the

Business Men's Club, that Mr. Whit
worth had composed a song which
four, including P. F. Rihn. Mr. Whit
worth, D. It. Krans and C. B. Smith
would sing. With Miss Ora Clarke
presiding at the piano the following
song was sang, and which was en
joyed by the entire crowd assembled:
There is one in our Midst
that's going to leave us
He seeks other fields he may
rerve.
He seeks other places of
em ployment ,
Where he can pull the teeth
ami kill the nerve.
The one whom w desire
to hold in memory
to
to for-
day
Has been at the head of the
class.
He has been in the thickest
of the battle
And has given us his service
to the last.
(Chorus)
Farewell to three, farewell
to three.

We'll think of von ea-l

For the good that has come
to the town.
By the banding of I lie busi

A better way of living has
been found.
So depart our brother and
may peace go with you
May you prosper in the land
where you will work.
May your fellowr.ien in busi

For we know your helping

it been available and put before the
trial jury may have changed the
verdict. Of three handwriting ex

the signature on the notes has more
of the characteristics of Coehrke's
writing than that of Marshall.
The newly discovered evidence, as

on May 14 and that Marshall left
