A Gocd Thing For Dacoma
Lust Saturday we were in Helena
for a few hours and we spent con-
siderable time in H. C. McCully’s
store. It is in a large brick build-
ing and is filled with a splendid
line of dry goods, shoes and cloth-
ing in addition to grocery stock in
the rear. The store has a deck up-
on which is diplayed a large amount
of goods and the big ware house is
Tull of case goods.
Mr. McCully infomed us that he
would put in as large a store here
in Dacoma as soon as he could get
a suitable bidding. We would sure
like to see it as then people in Da-
coma’s trade territory would have
no excuse for going to other towns
to trade. With a stock of general
merchandise and paying top prices
for produce Dacoma should have a
big business in the future.

Better be Lucky than Rich
Money could rot have gotten
the fine rains in this part of Woods
county during the past week. It
insures a wheat crop, the only
question being how great the yield.
A good shower in the next fif-
teen days will be all that is needed
and we are sure to get it.
A pecular thing about the rains
are that they have been of a local
nature and always came to Dacoma.
