Miss (Carlton allowed unusual talent aft a singer and her Scotlsb songs were most pleasing nnd refreshing. She possess os a musical, highly cultivated voice and her hearers always wished for more. These two ladles could easily furnish an entire program alone, if there was one best entertainment dur ing the chautauqua wo would unhesi tatingly ascribe that position to the Forbes .luvenlle Band. , Owing to Congress being in session, Senator Ollie .lames of Kentucky was compelled to cancel all bis Chautau qua dates and consequently was un able to be present. However, the mantigenient. secured lllchard Yates, ex-governor of Illinois, to till the vacancy.

Many people of this com munity have conliihtitcd to the html boom They have been atltacted by the fact that the propel tj they bought Is far from home and, as a rule, in a locality that they knew Utile, If any thing, about. A large amount of this busine-s has been done by prospectus and ciicular letter, and in -.uuni cases the buyar will bo happier If he never sees what ho bought. We all believe hi land investments, hut we have some good laud holt' in our own neighboi hood that ought to be improved. This movement has taken capital from our community tliatmightolher wlso have been spent for local im provements, for hollies, schools, churches, better roads, farm improve ments nnd many other things which would hiiio made for the gieater pros perity ol this vicinity We believe now, howevir, that I ho time has conic to center attention upon the welfare or Rod Cloud. We believe also that it isllinoto fiiget about politics tib ial ill' and other bogios and settle down ton plan for bettering this particular community by strong cooperative effoi t. It bus been said that the tariff is a local Issue and, in a largo measure, the snmc may be said of prosperity. The business men of this vicinity have It in their power to make pros pet ity in this locality, but, in order to accomplish something deliuite, their money must bo kept at home and spout at home. Our general welfare will not bo promoted by sending it to Canada or to any part of tho wot Id with which we have no daily business relation. Wo need a commercial club to lay out a campaign of development which will make this a bettor place to live In. "Tnnn. Is No Ib.An; Liki: Ho.mk" when everyone is trying to inako It a belter place. The time for action is light now. Wo can afford to disre gard every other issue but that of local piosperity, but we should be up and doing something to further our own interests. We have in this vicinity line homes, good farms, gooil schools, good roads and many other things that help to make life worth living. Let's try to nuiko them still better and put our money into solid improvements at home. Circus Day A Good One. The day was cool and comfortable and alarAccroNd was In town. Wednesday was Circus Day for Hed Cloud and the streets were thronged with people from morn till night. Many came in by train and tbo farm ers with the entire family took a day oil' and enjoyed tho big show. The bpeetactuiar street parade was pulled oil' at 11.00 o'clock. It was a good one and included everything from calliopes to roaring lions. The circus had a packed tent in the afternoon and almost as good at night. It was oue of the best that ever show ed under canvas here in Red Cloud It was clean ami entertaining from tho start to the close The trained elephants, horses and dogs were as good us ono will ever see. Tho aerial and acrobatic feats by the four Max well brothers were certainly splendid, as were nlso the Morales family as Mexican bar artists. The score of other feats and fancy riding nets were also line. The elephants, seven In number, did their woik with ease nnd aleitness. There was soinothlng do ing all tho time, and lnld tho big crowd's closest attention all the time. Tho Campbell llros. aro no strangers our people and have always been giv en a hearty welcome. The show is a good clean oue and almost free from a certain element that follow a show. The managers aro gentlemen with whom it is a pleasure to do business. "There's Ne Place Like Nome."

Traveling men espec ially speak of tho amount of business done hero. The reasons for these re marks are: That the grain and stock buyers pay the highest prices that the markets afford, often a good deal bet ter prices than aro pud in the neigh boring towns. To the incrchnuts nlso is duo a share of the credit. They curry largo and well selected stocks, bought in large quantities at close llgures for cash, and give their custom ors the advantages of the cut prices. Nothing helps to build up a town more than live, energetic business men. r W 1 JZT Vr I A L v r I am iieiiinllil.itti tor County .IihIkc at the, milnti p Initio ai tliellepiililleiin ticket. The iiiiqiori ol all l.s n pt-i-tfuly miIU'IUsL A ,. UllVh-MAN. A plan for drawing trade to a town that has been successfully worked at several points mtuiit be adopted to ad vantage in this city. The plan Is as follows: An agreement was reached between all tho merchants whereby they olfered special sales on certain days, each merchant selecting some Bpeclal line of goods upon which he made a lower price than usual. Thus one dry goods house would soil gloves at a special price, while another would oifor bargains in dress goods, Oue hardware merchant would reduco the price on skates, tivory line of busi ness was represented and euro was taken that no contlicts occurred. Priz es were then ottered to the farmer bringing in the best load of grain or . aw CI eann Sap Our Special Clearing Sale has been continued one week and will not close until Saturday night, July 29th.
