C. F. KAUFFMAN Practical Auctioneer Loup City, Nebr. Farm Sales a Specialty! To the Public—I wish to announce that I am a practical auctioneer of 6 years’ experience. My field of work has been Kalona and Washington county, Iowa. I have come to Loup City to locate and make it my future home and desire a share of your patronage in that line. My exper ience as an auctioneer has been large and I guarantee satisfaction. My charges will be right. I would refer you to the Farmers’ Savings Bank or State Bank of Kalona, Iowa as to my character and standing. Dates made at either bank or newspaper office in Loup City. Clark Kauffman. Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Kittell were up from Rockville, Tuesday. Highest market price paid for light hogs. S. F. Reynolds. We understand the “Savior of His Country” and his two lieutenants had one of their numerous fall-outs over the manipulations of Woodman Day, but no serious complications are liable to arise over it. As both the Baptist and Methodist pastors will be absent next Sunday, union services of all the churches will be held in the Baptist church morning and evening of that day. Rev. McEwen occupying the pulpit. Adam Houser of Jay county, Jnd., is visiting his brother, A. E., of this city. Mr. Houser owns a farm near Loup City which is occupied by his daughter and her husband and ex pects to spend the winter up there.— Aurora Republican. The public drinking fountain so long and faithfully worked for by the ladies of the Unity Club arrived via the B. & M. Monday, and is not only a very welcome adjunct to our city, but is a thing of beauty and will prove a joy forever, we have no doubt. The question with the ladies now is, “Where shall it be placed,” and the debate is now on. Where do you say? While playing with a pet dog, last j Thursday, a !>-year-old son of Rudolph j Johns had his right wrist badly lac eeated by the dog, tearing the tendons loose and giving the boy a bad wound. Dr. Long attended the sufferer and hopes are entertained of no serious results. This should be a sufficient warning to owners of the thousand and one worthless curs infesting this community. Better take drastic measures to save your children from bad results by killing the pests. Workmen are engaged on the ex cavation of the new brick building to be erected by A. P. Culley adjoining his bank building on the west. The foundation will be 2tix50 feet, but whether the building will be one or two stories has as yet not been deter mined. The lower story will be occupied by W. T. Owens for the post office, and if the building is made two stories we understand the upperstory will be for a hall. The result will be determined by Mr. Culley in a few days. Olilsen Bros, have the contract. The band boys' ball in Hayhurst’s new building last Friday evening was the big event of the season so far. The great room was cleared, bril liantly liglitee and filled with the largest and happiest crowd ever gath ered on a like occasion in our city, who tripped the light fantastic and had a most joyous time till into the small hours of the morning. Most felicitous speeches were made in the evening by Judge Wall, J. W. Long and R. P. Starr, congratulatory of Mr. Hayliurst on his magnificent building, his enterprise and faith in Loup City. The proceeds were to provide uniforms for the band boys and the neat sum of $93 was realized toward this end, after all expenses were paid. FLEXIBLE IMffl'iaiflilDll HITCH youp hopses AS you waht Them Here’s something new, something modern and something you will like when you see it. It is a new method of hitching two, three or four horses to the Litchfield Spreader. Requirements vary so much at different seasons and under different conditions of ground and material that a very flexible method of hitching anywhere from two to four horses, usually not more than three, becomes one of the most important features of a Manure Spreader. The Litchfield Mfg. Co. have recently brought out their side-pole hitch and it is proving a wonderful winner. This enables you to put three horses squarely in front of the machine: the center horse traveling exactly in the center, witli absolutely perfect equalization between the three' It would be just as practical to hitch on to the northwest corner of the state of Iowa and pull It square north without twisting as it is to hitch three horses to the corner of a manure spreader without side draft. Many devices an4 contrivances, SQtqe of them reminding us of Jeremiah Tliornbuckle’s Model of a Perpetqal Mqtion Machine, Jiave been invented to overcome this side draft ana to prevent tine twisting of fch'6 tongue and other annoyances and bad effects that arise from hitching three horsed tfl one side of the machine. The Litchfield Spreader has been no exception in the general hustle for some sort of a “three horse hitch” that would do away with side daaft and while the Company have been giving their trade as satisfactory a hith as there was on the market, they still have not been satisfied with it themselves. With this new adjustable pole which is instantly removable from center to side position, the horses all pull straight ahead and the equalization be tween them is, both in theory and practice, absolutely perfect. You have the same advantage in distributing on corn ground that you do with a pair of shaffs. You can drive a three horse team through a narrow gate. You can turn, back, swing or manipulate the team and machine just as perfectly with the three horses as you cau with two. Come and let us show you this latest improvoment. Also read this space next week for our statement on repairs. T. M. BUD. Sunday School Convention. There will be held in Loup City, on the 13 and 14th days of October, 1906, a Sunday-Scliool convention, and we hope to make the convention one of the best ever held in the county. This can be done if all will put forth a little effort and do their part. We wish in the first place a full and complete report from each school, giving the attendance, number of classes, teachers, officers, name of superintendent, secretary and in fact everything of interest in regard to the school. Don’t be afraid you will make your report too long, for as a general thing the reports are so short that we do not get enough to make a full report to the state convention. We also want delegates from every school in the county and we want to hear from those delegates after they get here. We want earnest, active workers from every school to be pres ent and help in making this con vention the very best ever held in the county. We are all proud of the record made at the state fair, why not make the record of this conven tion one to be proud of? Full pro grams will be published and sent out next week. Preparations will be made here for the accomodation of all delegates, so come and help make the occasion a pleasant and instructive ope. J. A. Angikr, President. Failure, But Whose Fault? The Woodman picnic in this city Tuesday proved not a very extensive affair, owing to the mismanagement of it by it's clerk and lack of proper advertising. The day was ideal, but very few members of the order at tended from a distance, while a large per cent of the local members knew very little in regard to the occasion, save what appeared on the bills gotten out by the clerk, which gave scanty information. The local papers would have been pleased to have ad vertised the day gratuitously, their editors being members of the order, but the clerk preferred to be the whole cheese himself, so to speak, and failed to advise the papers in any way about it. A small procession was formed near the elevators, and headed by the band marched around the principal streets and to Jenner’s Park, where family basket dinners were had, after which some speaker gave an address in the pavillion, fol lowed by sweet songs by Misses Beth Zimmerman and Amy Draper, then a return to the city, where a few sport ing events, such as running and rope pulling were had, and drills between the Woodmen teams of Ashton and Loup City, and then a recess was taken till evening when a class of thirteen, we understand, was initiate ed into the order. All in all, it was a very tame affair, and but for the untiring efforts of R. D. Hendrickson, (who himself informed us he knew nothing about it till he saw his name on tli% bills as President) aided by the efficient work of Peter Rowe and Henry Wilson, the day would have been an almost total failure. As it was, the occasion has been a very humiliating one for the membership of one of the greatest as well as one of the best fraternal organizations ever in existence. Notice to the Public. I will on Monday, Oct. 1st, lSXXi, open a millinery store in the building north of the postoffice, with the best and most up-to-date line of goods that has ever been shown in the county.
