EDISON
[ 'i Amberol
are the new records that play
twice as long us the regular
Edison records Thus Arn-
berol records can be used on
your present Edison Phonograph
graph by the addition of a
simple attachment or gear ,
and you can still play the ms
records you have. 8
Amberol records not only
play longer than any other
record made , but they play
better , their tone quality be
ing richer , clearer and moro
delicate than has been pos
sible in the past.
Let us put an attachment
on .your phonograph or sell
you an E-lison Phonograph
that will play both records. I

We hear that it was to hold a

iherish that fair name in our city
! or the little business that such a
slanderer could give , and only up-
m his demand for the slanderous
irticle to appear under penalty of
osing his advertisement , is a
iarnple of the money grasping ,
, designing and trouble-
naking purpose of the Search-
ight and its editor. We don't
cad it and hope our readers do
lot.
Henry Sanner was in town

Dhey may raise five to ten bushels
nore corn per acre but we've got

Chi ? is largely a stock country
, nd the grain to be had finds ready

JOHN G. STETTER , Propr.
Pioneer Going Away.
Henry Sanner is going to Ieav <
us. He has been a good neighbor
and his farmer friends will miss
him and his family. They have
lived here a long time , during th <
early days when the country wa <
new and the hot winds swept over
the dry prairies in the summer
and scorched the crops , for there
wasn't so much land farmed then
and the winds oil' the prairies
poorly covered with a short grass ,
got hotter and made farming a
more hazardous undertaking than
in recent years.
Somehow these early settlers
find it hard to forgot those pion-
3er days when their courage was
strong and their ambition equal tc
ilmost any task , yet they suffered
failure after failure but each with
courage and zeal renewed they
went forth to sow again. Even
aow when they think of those days
) f expectation abd disappointment
: hey wonder that their courage did
aot wane.
Many of those pioneers are
growing old now , with wrinkles
) n their brows and their locks are
iiirning grey. They have less
inergy for "years steal lire from
, he mind as vigor from the limb , "
ind they are prone to wonder how
.hey could withstand such times
Lgain. Their minds carry the
Iread that such conditions will re-
urn sometime and proclaim this ,
. desert land and that there will
> e another exodus of farmers with
out a chance to mortgage and
cave , as they did in ' 02 and ' 93.
Yes , it stares them in the face
nd when oll'ered $20 an acre or
1SOOU for a farm it looks better
han their chances in the early
ays when they'd have given up
11 they had for 40 acres in the
ast or a good garden patch arid a
ottage.
But it was thus down in eastern
Nebraska and Kansas twenty
ears earlier. They hid drouths
a the ' 70's and recurring at inter-
als. Thousands of farmers then
disheartened and went back
Iowa , Missouri and Illinois ,
who stayed were rewarded
or their perseverance with the op-
lortunity to buy a neighboring
arm to increase their possessions
.t low prices. Their lands are
low selling at almost prohibitive
> rices unless one owns other lands
djoining that can be annexed for
bigffer farm , or to kept the old
aan's family together near home.
Cherry county farms will bring
50 per acre in a few years , where
hey now sell for $20.

Building and Loan Asso =
ciation.
The Valentine Building & Loan
Association will open Series "T"
on Tuesday , March 2 , at which
time any person desiring to be
come a member , either as an investor - !
vestor or with the view of borrow-1
ing can secure the stock and thereafter - '
after participate. There is no
need of extended notice , nor set
ting forth the advantages of this
associative , either for the investor
or the borrower. It has been a
strictly Valentine institution for
jthe past fifteen years and its work !
speaks for itself.
i
I As a place for savings it cannot
be beaten and should have for its
membership , persons earning an
amount over living expenses who
desire to save a little each month
and have that little earning inter
est. It is in as solid condition and
as safe a place .for investment as
can be found anywhere. Persons
who become members desiring to
withdraw can do so and get the re
turn of their money , principal and
and interest , by giving 30 days
notice , and it is seldom that the
directors wait the 30 days before
making payment but pay upon
request. Tint is as good as any
savings bank will do.
One has no right to pay rent
who can possibly get a home
through the help of this associa
tion. That can and will be attest
ed by the large number of borrow
ers since the association began
business.
Anyone desiring to become a
member should apply to J. T.
t i
Keeley , secretary , or F. A. Cum-
bow , treasurer.
