New Firm
A deal was consumated this
week wherein J. H. Re6tor trad-
ed his farm east of Cashion for
the stock of general merchandise
of Washburn & Sowers. This
was one of our oldest business
firms, and were-progressive. As
the dealing parties are well known
by everyone here it is not neces-
sary to introduce them. Mr,
Rettor will move his family to
town, and the business will 'be
conduced at the old location,
where a part of your patronage
is solicited. We wish him pros-
perity. Messrs. Washburn and
Sowers have not yet given out
their intentions, but it is to be
hoped they remain among us.
Sorrells-Sowers
The friends of Mr. W. F. S01
rells and Miss Oneida Fay Sowers
will be delighted to learn that
these popular young people were
married at the home of the bride's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. Sowers,
about four miles sout of this city
on Wednesday.
Mr. Sorrells is one of the most
popular young school teachers of
the county and resides near Am-
ber and is now engaged in tue
Pocassett schools, and has many
friends among the teachers of the
county as well as in his own neigh-
borhood where he is held in high
esteem.
Miss Sowers is well known
among the people of this city, al-
tho having resided near Haley
since coming here, and has been
a student in the schools of this
city the past three years and is
xryich appreciated by all who know
her. She is one of the popular
young ladies in this community
and has hosts of friends with
whom the Times joins in con-
gratulations.—rl little 1 imes.
their licenses. This question of
drinking will adjust itself in time.
You may never live to s-ee it, but
the day is coming when the peo-
ple will be too smart to drink ;
they will let liquor alone because
it is the thing to do. There will
be exceptions, of course, just as
there are men in Kansas who
drink in spite of the law. 1 he
day is not far distant when an
employe who drinks can t hold a
job; it is almost that way now,
a1 though one doesn't have to pos-
sess a relentive memory to recall
the days when work was put off
until the hired man got over his
spree. Railroads and big employ-
ers of labor are doing more to
stamp out drinking than is being
accomplished by obnoxious re-
formers. Railroads used to say.
employes must not drink while
on duty. They now say employ
es shall not drink either on or oi'i
duty.—Atchison Globe:

Fewer Saloons
There will be fewer saloons in
Kansas City next year, and the
reason is interesting. Itisn tdue
to any temperance or prohibition
movement but of the fa£t that
people are drinking less, and not
all the saloons pay. There are

only 590 asked for a renewal of

means of support, but that doi. t
count. What is being stofen now
is something to eat. There will
be lots of that kind of work going
on here between now and spiitig.
No crops the past year and a hard
winter. There's no employment
of any kind; the stores aie get-
ting on a cash basis, and those
who haven't money to buy the
necessities of life will possibly
have to steal if they get them.
But there is one thing we have
noticed: a class of people are
spending money foolishly and foi
things not needed at present in
the face of hard times, instead ol
living more economically. 1 he
past six months has been the best
teacher, altho severe, on econo
mics that most of the people of
this se6lion have ever had, and

by the lesson learned thru sad
experience.
