dangerously sick.
J. E. Bowls, of Kansas Pity, is vis-

W. M. Bess, who has been taking
treatment at Winlield, Kansas for a
couple or weeks or more, returned
home last Saturday. Mr. Bess has
l cen a yreat sufferer from an ulcer-
ated sore on his leg, and claims that
ihe electrical treatment, together
with the medicine, has greatly im-
proved his condition. If his speech
lias been impaired by the electrical
-.hock we fail to notice the fact.
A Jewell City bov swallowed a fena
Maple last Wednesday. You can nev-
er tell what's in a boy by looking at
him. Most any man can succeed
at the work he likes, but some men
don't like any work. There was
enough zero weather last Sunday to
vindicate the groundhog and help out
the ice men. Is a woman under
obligations to trust her husband when
he can't get trusted anywhere else?

SILVER MOON SALOON,
GEORGE C. BOLTON* Proprie«or
Pure whiskies, tine imported and domestic wines, cigars, Etc.. always in
stock. Fresh beer on tap and the largest-schooners in town for tin- money.
Box came, something similar to ten pins, in connection, and a picture ma-
chine on the side that exhibits twenty pictures for the cents.
The merchants of Pawnee have
organized a Credit association, and it
might be well for our merchants to
organize a similar association at this
place. There are some people in all
communities who never pay their
honest debts and the sooner the
names of these people are made known |
the letter it will be for all concerned.1
We have more love for a natural born
thief than we have for the man who
will wilfully betray the contideuce and
respect of his neighbor by contract-
ing debts he never intends to pay.
The Chief is a little late this week
on account of the moon being in an
eclipse Thursday night. We worked
?til eleven o'clock and our lamp went
out and the moon went out and we
had to go to bed, consequently the
paper is late. Fairfax Chief.

How About It?
It is not the policy of this paper to
roast the business men of the town,
but it strikes us that something is
wrong when a town the size of Jen-
nings with two papers which have
never failed to boost the town at ev-
ery opportunity, the proprietors of
the general stores didn't spend a dol-
lar in advertising during the month
of January, IMS. They have held
their breath while dozens of our far-
mers have spent money in other
towns where the merchants use prin-
ter's ink. We believe the papers here
compare favorably with those in oth-
er towns as to circulation and as ad-
vertising mediums. A newspaper man
is not an object of charity he does
more good for the community for less
money than any other man in it. Give
the home printer your support if you
care to live in a live town. Get your
stationery at home, try a little ad-
vertising and watch your business
grow. Jennings Hummer.
Arm Broken.
The eleven year old son ofW. H.
Berg, living eight miles southeast of
Pawnee fell out of a wagon Tuesday
and sustained a compound fracture of
the arm. This is the same boy that
was jammed up in a runaway last
summer. -Pawnee Courier-Dispatch.
Stand Hitched, Brother Cooper.
Mr. M. It. Cooper recently occupied
a half column of the Stillwater Ga-
zette's valuable space in lambasting
its Ingalls correspondent for stating
that "The Baptists of Ingalls have
hired Bev. Crawford," etc.
Bro. Cooper paws viciously at the
hitchrack because the word "hired"'
is used, ignoring the fact that who-
soever contracts to perform certain
services at a stated salary is "hired."'
It appears to this writer that to be
nired is no disgrace, let the "hire-
ling" be preacher, plowboy, profes-
sional man or mechanic. There is no
genuine aristocracy mixed in with
true religion. They won't amalga-
mate, Bro. Cooper.
We have no record of the chosen
ministry of Christ taking exceptions
to the appellation of "servants" while
laboring in their Lord's vineyard
without earthly recompense supply-
ing temporal needs meanwhile by the
labor of their own calloused hands.
Has our modern ministry rown aris-
tocratic at the expense of a very com
mon humanity? Let us hope not.
"The servant is worthy of his hire,
but few serva its are called while
many are hired, and wor< and wages
are but little more closely connected
in the intelligent mind than call and
cant.
Hut the country pastor's wage w ill
not be large enough to dishonor his
professional professions, and the im-
putation of being hired will not smirch
his spotless robe if he is really called
to do good work in this wicked old
world.
Then stand hitched, Bro. Cooper.
It's all right, and ihe Becord would
rejoice to fall heir to the Gazette's
Ingalls correspondent. Vale Becord.
A Credit Association.
The merchants of Pawnee have or-
ganized a Credit Association for their
own protection and the protection of
their customers, who pay their bills.
The objcct of the association is to
protect themselves from the fellows
who give everybody a "skinning"
whom they do business with, and in
this way, make busiuess more burden-
some to not only the merchant but
to his customers who do pay their
bills. Every merchant of the town
joined the association. Courler-Di--
patch.
See Davis for bargains. That's all.
