a country store ? Look at their high rents , water taxes , heavy
insurance , and a dozen other items that a country store don't
have. Then does it look reasonable that they can sell you.

A little over a year ago a revolver
was stolen from the editor's desk , and
until this week we knew not where it
had gone. Xow however we have
positive proof as to the identity of
the thief , and unless the young man
either returns the gun or rapidly rids
the community of his presence , a
prosecution will result. This is not
the only case against him , and he
had better take our fatherly advice
and get out ere the beginning of
another week. There is no use beat
ing around the bush about this mat
ter , and it is only our good nature
and sympathy which prevents his ar
rest without warning.
The legality of the court house
bonds has been passed upon by the

court house completed in time for
occupancy by fusion county officials
