Whv send off your- good money for goods to the mail order houses, since you can buy all lines of goods from me just as cheap and cheaper, and goods you can see. TRY LEWARDOWSKI’S FIRST HAZARD BOY MAKES GOOD. In an official bulletin issued by Ueadquarters, United States marine corps, Washington, appears the name of James E. Patchin, of Hazard, this county, as having qualified as a marks man in that most interesting branch of the government service. James, who is a son of Charles A. Patchin, of Hazard, enlisted in the United States marine corps at its Denver, Colei ado. iccruiting station on June 1, 1915, and is now serving a! the marine barracks, naval station. Cavite, Philippine Islands, where he is having many interesting experiences and adventures. Considering the fact that Patchin is scarcely more than a recruit, his performance in gunnery is considered by marine corps officials as little short of marvelous, and they expect him to break many marksmanship records before his enlistment expires.

After the degree work was finished, the lodge had the pleasure of listen ing to a very interesting discourse from Bro. R. P. Starr, a visiting mem ber from McCook, Neb. Mr. Starr em phasized the great advantages of the “Three Links” to people who are cast among strangers. Short talks were also made by Sofus Ohlsen from Rock ville, Rev. L. V.

Hansen and Rowe are present incumbents of the places for which they are candidates and Mr. Mathew is a new man for the mayorship. All these are worthy and time only will tell whether they will have any opposition or not. Spring Opening and Demonstration. Kozel & Sorenson, the progressive implement, hardware and furniture dealers at Rockville are advertising a big spring opening and demonstra tion at their store on Saturday, March 11.

The first white mans’ dance in the muddy and clear creek valleys of ’74 In the late winter or early spring, I forgot the exact date, the settlers be low around Sweetw'ater, sent me word they were coming up to my place to have a dance, they were not so numer ous. w'hen I moved up here in Sep tember ’73. Harvin Hughes Chris tian a dane, Jack McGee, Bill Hilson, and Buck Skin Jack (Jack Hendrix) w'ere the only settlers on the Bea ver then. Their -nearest neighbors were on Prairie Creek below Cairo. James Roberts, Bob Hodge, Thomas Crostin, old man Hadex and Charles Johnson, moved on in the early win ter. This to the best of my recollec tions were all living at this time on the Beaver valley and no one but me on the Clear creek and muddy valley. So we made preparations for them and as people in those days were al ways hungry I went out and killed a I black tailed buck for the occasion. He ] W’asn’t so fat and we were not so par ticular, and as the custon was to come to supper and stay for breakfast, there i was nothing left after breakfast. Our dugout and cedar log abode! wras about 1Sx24. We cleared out the west end for the dance (all square) and amongst other things our rifles wrere put just outside the door. It was one of those beautiful moonlight nights almost as clear as day. Jack Hendrix furnished the music. Along about two or three o’clock in the morning I had just prominaded with Mrs. C. Johnson, she was quite fleshy and anything but a good dancer and as we were jumping around she re marked this is hipity hop. As we returned to our station my back to the door, two Indians were seen watching us, their painted faces close to the window on the east end. Mrs. James Roberts was the first to see them, she screamed, and Jack threw his violin across the floor and said, boys, the Indians are on us. Of course my first thought was our guns I pulled my 45 six shooter held it at my sholder reached out and pulled in the guns, then I felt safe for I knew they could not get us out of that dugout. The Indians when they found out they were discovered, ran. Bob Hodge, who happened to be out side saw them run up the hill. We went out and looked for them but saw no more of them, so we danced until morning and after breakfast all went home. I went out and looked for the Indians but saw no more of them. I think they expected to catch me alone that night and were disappointed to find I had company. There certainly was some commo tion in that dugout for a few minutes. John Roberts who lives now south west of Hazard was a chunk of a boy at that time. About two years ago I asked John if he remembered it and he said “My God I’ll never forget it.” DEER CREEK ITEM. We were glad to note that our friend. Miss Minnie Plambeck won the niano at the Booster store at Ashton Monday. She has been working hard so she could finish up at the first place and she did. She had but few pat rons to help her out for the past nine months, and now she will put up a free dance at Ashton in the near fu ture. W. T. GiBSON FILES. W. T. Gibson has filed for the nomi nation on the repbulican ticket, for supervisor of this, the Fourth district. Mr. Gibson would be a good man for the place. He has been a resident of 'he county for a great many years and thoroughly understands the duties of the office. He will be a strong candidate. DOING A BIG BUSINESS.

It has been many years since the theater-going public have had an opportunity to witness a musi cal comedy of this kind.
