Fred Folks1 visited in town last
week while down from-Cbadron for a ,
few days.
Fred Whittemore , president of the
Valentine State Bank was here dur
ing the past. week.
Numerous foot ball games were
played Thanksgiving in different
parts of our native land.
The rummage sale last Thanksgiv
ing wass well patronized and the sup.
per was relished by many.
Wm. P. Conley has moved his fam
ily into the house occupied by Elmer
Cole and are keeping house.
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

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 ,

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.
