Gus Carlson has finished bis shop on north main street and has a very nice building now with the front fin ished for a sales room or stock room and the back part for a work room. The man who is continually kick * ing because you don't print any more news than you do might kick some more if we gleaned news items more closely. Dean Efner and newly wedded bride came down from Chadron Friday and visited with'Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Efner 'till Sunday night. Dean went out to his homestead during their vis it. Some of the real stuff must have been in the oyster soup Wednesday night of last week from the effect it seemed to have on some of the dear ones. And it didn't come out in the wash either. But then once a year is not bad for some people to go on a tear. D. A. Hancock of Blackburn , rviis- ouri took a couple of his friends from Kansas City , Missouri , but hunt ing with him and spent Thanksgiving on his. ranch near Simeon that he lately purchased from Major Ander son. They enjoyed a , good time and returned Saturday. The proceeds from Hons Von Smash were nearly 40 dollars. The play was very good for amateurs and the peo ple showed appreciation. The select reading should not be permitted. It's too easyIf the children would speak louder those in the back part of the room could hear. There was a little friendly scrap between Tommy Watkins and Dr : Goodrich Saturday evening of last week. There happened to be some body close enough to part them so there was no harm done but ii they get together again' we're thinking that there'll be hair a flyin' in the air. air.A. A. D. Brown the affable druggist at Elliott's drugstore resigned his'posi- . tion last Saturday morning and took a trip down east. jtfr. Brown did not ! eave any definite directions as to where we would send h'is paper and the past account remaining unsettled , we will drop hip name froffl the list. But that doesn't settle it. A man who will pull out without paying up his subscription would do meaner .things f given an opportunity. We would advise people to look out for him. W. L. Yancy and Miss Marie Reid were married last Friday at tbe M. E. parsonage , Rev A. F Cumbow of ficiating .and Al Yoijug and Miss Ollie Dewey acted as attendants , Mr. Yancy is a fine looking young man and has a large circle of friends at his former home , Cody. Miss Reid is a sister of F. L. Reid and is a talent > ed and accomplished young lady of ! ody and none can but rejoice with . this young couple. THE VALENTINE . DEMOCRAT extends greetings' and aest wishes to them. The prairie fire which started last Friday afternoon near Georgia ex tended eastward 50 miles and 20 miles north burning up thousands of acres of winter range worth from $5,000 to $10,000. Many lost hay with the range and those who escaped are for tunate. Cattle will have to be taken to other grazing grounds or i liay during the winter. Such calam ities are getting too numerous. Eve ry year there is trouble from prairie * fires somewhere. Yet it may have been an accident this time as before. More fire guards kept open should be the endeavor of every ranchman who an winter range , Court in session at the new court house next Monday , Wm. Erickaon of Kennedy was in town the first of the week. ' Wm. Baird was transacting busi- nes is in our city last Tue sday. JE. . Thackrey , Co. treasurer , went to Gordon Sunday night and made final proof on his homestead north of Irwfn and Tuesday attended the cat- tle4ale a't Gordon. ; 'parl Sender , a brother-in-law ol Andrew Schatzthauer , will come here from Cheyenne , Wyoming , as soon as he can get a house to live in. He wilj'probably help Mr. S in the liv ery business. Al. Young retired from the Kanga- rod restaurant last week and Mr. Cidler is now jthe proprietor. No- ti { e the change in the ad which now reads , Tom Candler. Mr. C will do a good business as he appears to be gen tlemanly , quiet and attentive to bus iness.

It's money a makes things go and if you have a coupleof dollars to spare it will help us to continue to improve and will pay what you owe on subscript ion and some in advance no doubt. LastrFriday a fire started some dis tance north-west of Georgia. The wind being in the south-west drove it upon * the icservation and it burned east down the.Jhie for a long distance. Those who live near the reservation line trusted to the wind to keep it.in . the same direction but the wind turn ed and blew from the north-west. Tniis it burned off the range of Spratt Hobaon , Harper. J. E. Pettycrew , Perkins and all that were in it's path. ne man wasburned entirevjout but a is sod house , well and tank. J . E. Pettycrew got the're just in time to back-fire away from hia hay stacks which contained nearly two hundred tons of hay. His son who had been staying there wintering the cat tle , luckily , had the cattle in the cor ral , thus preventing the fire from in- iuriog them. Farmers , keep a good wide fire guard around your property. It pays , as you see.
