Ever compare the expense of a city store with the expense of
a country store ? Look at their higli vents , water taxes , heavy
insurance , and a dozen other items that n , 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 ?

Plaintiffs Pay the Freight.
Judges Kinkaid and W estover held
a special term of distri ct court here
last Friday and Saturday for the pur
pose of trying the Waite , Bachelor ,
Ball , Roby , Rowley cases , in which ,
the lines of Township 33 , Range 27 ,
are in question. 'Large numbers of
witnesses were present , but much to
the regret of all lovers of justice the
cases were dismissed on request and
at the cost of plaintiffs , ere a decision
had been given. This leaves the mat
ter in exactly the same position it
was before the trial , and all parties
are as much dissatisfied as before.
We hope , however , that the matter '
will be amicably adjusted by the par
ties concerned , and that no more
trouble will arise therefrom.
Several times we have called , the
attention of our citizens to the fact
that the water supply of the town
would soon be inadequate to the needs
of the public , but up to date no
measures have been taken to either
increase or conserve the supply. The
city engineer informs us that the
present supply amounts to 40,000
gallons per day. but if the weather is
at ; all warm he is forced to pump
creek water into the mains in 'order
to keep up the necessary pressure. t
The creek water seems to be / ;
good , s |
but it needs to be filtered or allowed j
to settle before it is fit for use , and. '
this causes great inconvenience to
households where cooking-
being : '
done. Again , if this continues the ' '
mains will soon become foul and after
that even the best o ± water will be
come contaminated. We have frequently - *
quently offered a aug-gestion that
meters be used , but it falls flat , ap
1C parently , and we'd like to see some
one else try his hand. Something"
should be done at
once , if we are to
avoid an epidemic of fever during the *
hot weather now coming on. *
