our stockmen and such interest
taken as will leave no doubt as to
their sentiments , and , if possible ,
let all take some immediate action ,
either by individual letter or by
concerted requests , with the names
of as many as possible to voice the
sentiment of our people ,

TV. B. Hammond has purchased
the interest of TV. T. Bullis in the
Star livery business and resumes
his former partnership that he
sold to Mr. Bullis last fall. The
reason for the change is the hopes
for recovery of Mrs. Hammond ,
who returned last week from
Omaha considerably improved ,
and Mr. Bullis finding the work
too confining for his declining
years.
THE DEMOCRAT office is getting
up an advertisement for Valentine
and Cherry county and some of
Valentine's business men this
week , printing on the reverse side
of letter heads used by these busi
ness men , each assisting in placing
the advertisement before the peo
ple in his correspondence. There
will be nearly 10,000 letter heads
printed in this combination , most
of them probably going out during
the year.
