Hall, the new Adventist minister, who arrived here from Giawford. this state, about a month since, has finally received his belated household goods and gone to house keeping in the Winklemann cottage in the east part of town. We acknow ledge a pleasant call, Friday last, from Elder Hall, who is a bright ap pearing and highly intelligent young man, who will undoubtedly be in strumental in building up the Ad ventist society here greatly. His family consists of wife and one child. The Northwestern bespeaks for him a most cordial welcome from our | ever generous people. The report having gone out that in event of Loup City going "dry” Jen ner’s Park would be turned into a beer garden, a representative of the Northwestern has it directly from Mr. Harry Jenner that so long as lie owns the park such will not be the case. However, he has a proposition from a Stanton, Neb., man to trade him a tract of land in that county for the park and should the transfer be made lie has no means of knowing what the new owner might do. The North western has also lizard a rumor to the effect that in event of a "dry” period in Loup City, local men will put in a new park near town, fora beer garden but we have not as yet interviewed those mentioned as the proposed pro jectors, hence only give to report as i given to us. To preserve your house—your property — your dollars, you might say—you must use paint. To do so economically the paint you use MUST have lasting qualities. Remember, poor paint costs more than good paint, {or the work has to be done oftener. Start right by getting Horse Shoe Paint and you can make up your mind it’s on to stay. The reason for this is plain. Horse Shoe Paint is wholly composed of the strongest and best materials known in the science of paint making — it contains no cheapening or adulterating materials what ever. It s made of strictly Pure Zinc and White Lead for pigments. Add to this Pure Linseed Oil—crushed by the manufacturers themselves to insure its purity — then the necessary drier and coloring matter and you’ve got the best paint that money, brains and material can produce. Horse Shoe Paint has 6tood the test for 20 long years—it’s n proven paint— and is sold in almost every town and city in the United States. Should not that fact alone convince you that Horse Shoe Paint gives satisfaction beyond question ? Hors® Shoe Paint does all we claim — we guarantee it to be pure and to wear. Hors® Shoe Paint is absolutely pure; you buy it subject to chemical analysis and its paint that lasts. Pain* your house with Horse Shoe Paint this season by all means.
