Rev. D. P. Row having engaged herd1
in church work for the coming year, bit
good wife must needs come and abide
with him, and accordingly, shutting up
their fine little home in the cosmopoli-
tan Kansas town of Hutchinson, she last
week arrived at Billings to enter upoq
the arduous but necessary duty of guide,
philosopher and friend to a moat capa-
ble and no doubt excellent husband, but'
one who, like husbands in general, ca^
not fail to profit vastly and joy greatly
because of the finer stay of a good wife.
On Thursday evening, the 7th instant,
Mr. and Mrs. Row were given a very
cordial reception at their home, warm
fraternal greeting by a goodly number
of the Baptist members, accentuated by
a banquet at once substantial and appe-
tizingly eloquent to stay and cheer the
corporeal man and woman. The occas-
ion also served to appropriately cele-
brate his 68th birthday, which in happy
augury fell upon this particular Thurs-
day. And a rugged, exceptionally pre-
served man for 68 is Bro. Row, and this
in spite of hie four years’ campaign for
the Union in the heroic "Sixties."
Ed Bankston, F. D. Lucas, Dr. Mc-
Corkle, W. G. McCluskey, T. J. Mehu- j
ron and D. A. Rainsburg have been on I
the wifeless waiting list the past week, '
and observation of their going and com-
ing hardly justifies the conviction they ;
have rejoiced with exceeding joy over j
even temporary freedom from conjugal
surveillance. The truth is that aa a rule i
the man who escapes being spoiled by '
his mother is spoiled by hia wife, and if
he is spoiled by both, as too often hap- j
pens, he gets a finish that’s a corker.
If spoiled by neither it is safe to say he
has not found life one grand, sweet,
Grover Cleveland song. Petting tastes
mighty sweet, but it’s only safe in ho-
meopathic doses. But we wander. The
boys are not exactly wobbling like a
planet out of orbit, but are thought-
ful beyond their wont.
During the past week agents for vari-
ous pianos made an assault on Bill-
ings and vicinity all along the line, the
home of Judge J. F. Faris in town be-
ing the storm-center of the harmonic
disturbance. When the smoke of battle
lifted it revealed the Judge in undis-
mayed possession of a “Schumann,”
L. B. Sawyer of Enid, agent for that
world-renowned instrument, having won
out over Merry and Pratt & Jones, of
Perry, the former handling the "Kings-.
bury” and the latter the “Ellington,"
and Pierpont & Asher, representing
Asher & Jacobus, ot Kind, handling the
"Newman.” Mr. Faris undoubtedly
made a wise selection and got a first-
class bargain.
For the first time in several weeks the
Gun Club met Friday afternoon for a
shoot, hoi weather and harvest hurry
having occasioned a sometime hiatus in
their weekly practice. The score stood
as follows at the end of the 25-shoot:
Carson 22, Neil and McKee each 18, Mc-
Cluskey 17, Brock 6. It will be noted
with surprise that McKee fell off in his
record. This was due to the fact that
it was a cloudy evening and so late in
the day when most ol the work was done
the shadows of night had begun to ob-
scure the range of the sharpest vision,
and Mr. McKee admits he’s older than
he ever was before.
A STATEMENT OF FACTS.
Business has become, in a high degree, not only an in-
tellectual but an interesting moral career.
Slowly but surely merchants are becoming to realize
that to continue in business they must keep in touch with
the new ideas that are every day rushing into the busi-
ness world.
Gilded words and well-tuned phrases do not constitute
good merchandising. Simple words representing facts
are worthy of attention and thought.
We believe we have earned the right to be believed
in our straight forward statements.
We have always tried to get the best line of goods we
could at the right price.
We are not running any schemes to get you to our
store, but just give you good values for your money.
We can give you good, clean merchandise this fall as
we went to market early for the new styles and patterns.
Billings and vicinity deserve good stuff and we bought
to suit the trade.
Our store is open from 6.30 a. m. until 8 p. m. You are
always welcome to make our store your loafing place.
Come to see us for your fall bill of mdse. We are the
merchants for the right prices.

Trespassers Beware.
Notice is hereby given that any per-
son caught hunting on Section 31, in
Bunch Creek Township, will be prose-
cuted to the full extent of the law.

folding-bed, rocking chairs, center-ta-
ble and kitchen furniture, to be sold be-
tween the 1st and 15th of September.

John Blankenship.
If it’s oak timbers or lumber of differ-
ent sizes you need in your business it is
on tap at the Big Jo yard.
Scholarship for Sale.
The News has a scholarship in the
"Milam Business College’’ at Enid for
sale. This is a first-class business col-
lege, and any young man or woman de-
Biring to qualify for a position in short-
hand, typewriting, book-keeping, etc.,
should take a thorough course with this
institution. If you decide to go there
we can save you money on tuition. 8ee
us about it at the News office.

Seitz Bros, shipped two care of fine,
thousand-pound steers Saturday. They
had 52 head yarded to load, but one got
hurt in a flurry occasioned by the train
when it puffed in, and they had to leave
him behind for repairs. It was the best
lot sent out of Billings in many a day.
We are surprised they did not shovel
good old yellow corn into them until the
middle of winter or towards spring, and
add fifty per cent to their heft. But we
huve no hesitancy in admitting that
these gentlemen understand their own
business considerably better than we
possibly can.
Rev. C.W. Brewer, Territorial Baptist
Missionary, will occupy the Baptist
pulpit next Sunday evening, and all are
most cordially invited to come out and
hear this talented divine, whose worth
as a man and ability as a speaker unit-
edly demand the attention of thinkers
and admirers of ornate verbal express-
ion.
Joe Jefferson, on route one, left Sat-
urday for Comanche, to look after
lease in the “Big Pasture,” securing
which he will move there next year. He
begins his third year of school work at
Glenroae the first of October, which is
conclusive evidence that he is a success
as a teacher.
Roy Henry left Saturday on a tour of
about equal parts of pleasure and busi-
esato Nebraska, where he will round-up
friends and relatives of himself and his
wife at or in the neighborhood of Te-
cumseh. He will be gone about two
weeks.
Try the new jeweler when you sre in
need of such service.

guesswork about it. The wheat all goes in

come and see them, from 8 to 24 disc,

We have them. Also harrows—disc and drag of any size, extra

pump, tank, builders’ hardware, a buggy, or in fact anything you

take pleasure in showing you.
