Will Deliver His World's
Famous Lecture Here
Sunday Afternoon
May 31 , 1908.
On May 31 st , next , Mr.
Bryan will deliver his most
popular lecture , "The Signs
of the Times. " This date
being' Sunday Mr. Bryan
will not talk politics , but
this lecture has been deliv
ered in nearly all the great
cities of the United States.
This is a great opportun
ity for the people of Cherry
county to hear the world's
greatest orator , and , as this
lecture is strictly nonpartisan
san , we hope to see the people
ple of this county turn out
to hear him without regard
to politics.
He may make a short ad
dress at one of the local
churches in the morning
but the main lecture will be
in the afternoon.
A full announcement will
be made later.
You : and everybody else ,
wants to see what's in THE
DEMOCRAT this week , just as
bad as you did before- the
war , but the Avar is over and
the country is safe. The
government at Washington
still stands and THE DEMO
CRAT tells the news.
You want it.
Why not be a man and
come in and subscribe , in
stead of botherin' the life
out of your neighbors , a bor-
ryin' their DEMOCRAT. Some
of you do it right along and
always seem to know just
what THE DEMOCRAT said
this week and last week.
But you wouldn't sub
scribe ? No ? Why ? You
must be something of a
hypocrite to pretend you
don't read it , or wouldn't
read it , and then slip 'round
and raise the curtain and
peep in just to see what's
goin' on , I s'pose , like a boy
at a circus , that was told
not to go. Yes , that's the
way you do , and you'd be
mighty lonesome if you did
not read the home paper ,
would't ye ?
It doesn't hurt our feel-
in's half as much as Mrs.
Hornby thinks it does to
sever relations with one ye
know is f elin' kind o'bad
towards ye. In fact , it is a
relief that the strained cord
is broken and that it's time
to stretch another one that
is based upon business prin
ciples and a desire to carry
your own part of this load
of mutual advantageous co
operation.
It is the people who step
cheerfully to the front and
meet others at the business
center who are iQoked upon
as the foremost citizens of a
Wear

Tim Higgins was in town
the first of the week and
seeing him reminds us of a
story he used to tell. It-
was in the early days of
Valentine and Tim was run
ning a saloon. Pie hadn't
rosmsfco run his gamblin g
tables and he hadn't the
money to build , so he goes
to see Greorge Hornby about
it. George had lumber and
was ready for a deal on a
building. Tim laid his
proposition before him and
told him that he had to have
the building but was short
of money to build it and tiat
G-eorge would have to wait
until he could make it out
of his gambling business.
The building was built and
George furnished the lum
ber , so the story goes , and
waited for his money 'till
Tim could make it.
Whereas , It has pleased Our
Heavenly Father , in His infinite
wisdom , to remove from our midst
Harry Phelps , adopted son of
Neighbor J. E. Phelps and wife ,
and by his death Neighbor Phelps
and wife loses a loving and af
fectionate son , be it therefore
EESOLVED ; TnatWoodlake Camp
No. 292T , M. W. A. , extend to
Neighbor Phelps their sincere
sympathy , and these resolutions
be spread upon the minutes of the
Camp , a copy be presented to the I
bereaved family , and a copy be
sent to each of the Valentine pa
pers fo publication.
