Ever compare the expense of a city store with the expense of
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
goods cheaper than we can. If you are ready for your spring
purchase come in and see our stock and get our prices. Will
you be one to keep your money at home ?

The "man with a wife out of town5'
is about the most forlorn object that
walks the streets , and is deserving of
more sympathy than a dozen bach-

tue if he does not stay out late at
lights , play poker , get drunk or do
jther strange things to pass away
ais lonesome hours.
"Paul Pry , " in a letter to this
paper says : I was at Kewanee last

ance. It did us good to see the Ar
kansas people out and the Squire's
wife , who is 6.0 3'ears old. Crops are
looking fine and Kewanee is coming
to the front once more.
If the Methodist church was not
crowded Sunday night it should have
been , because it is not always that a
congregation has the
attraction of a
wedding to come to hold them in their
seats during the service proper. At

evening the Rev. O. S. Baker an
nounced that a wedding would soon
take place , and Olia Wilhite , of Gor
don , and Ella Hayter , of this place ,
walked down the aisle to the altar
rail and were speedily tied with a
knot which we hope the v will never
want to loosen. The service was
simple but effective
and the young
couple" will go through life with the
blissful knowledge that
they had a
larger assemblage to witness their
vows than has ever before greeted
0 a
couple in Valentine. t
