Lone Wolf’s new postoffice
I building, owned by C. H.
I Griffith, who has made a ten year
lease with the government, is
now about ready to be occupied.

I move into the building the last
of this week or the first of next.
| It is located north of the First
National Bank, and is up-to-date
in every feature. Few towns,

any other state, can boast of
I having as handsome and well
I arranged headquarters for hand-
ling Uncle Sam’s mail. Every
citizen of Lone Wolf should be
proud of and mutually feel
grateful to Mr. Griffith for hav-

When J. G. Price, Lone Wolf's
funeral director, undertook the
[embalming of the late Mrs.
Humphrey’s remains, there were
(some who shock their heads ar.d
[expressed grave doubts as to
Mr. Price's ability to do this
| delicate and difficult job per-
fectly. But all the same,
Undertaker Price did his work
I as skillfully and in as finished a
I manner as the foremost man in
j his line in either New York or
j Chicago could do it. When Mr.
Humphrey returned home after
jconvtving his dear partner’s
remains for burial to Iowa, where
she lived as a girl, he said the
body was in perfect condition,
and there was that about it that
would make you tbink it was
in that jiappy repose that health-
ful, happy sleep gives. You
I ihay be sure that J. G. Price
knows his business to satisfy the
most kantankerous “hard-to-
please,” and may be depended
upon absolutely in whatever he
[ undertakes or promises.
