Mrs. T. W. BROOKS and children visited in Ellis this week.

Messrs. WILLCOCKSON and CAMP were at the Springs Saturday.

I. C. MORRIS is threshing a big lot of wheat near Page this week.

P. C. WEBER and family, of Monument, attended Catholic services here Sunday.

According to the Observer, W. H. HOSKINSON is clerking in SMITH's store,
Monument.

A large number listened to the first services in the new Catholic church last
Sunday.

Andy SNYDER and J. M. GAMBLE started Tuesday morning on their six weeks' trip
to the mountains.

At the annual school meeting yesterday H. F. GIESSLER was re-elected
treasurer of the Oakley district.

John KERNS, who was down to WaKeeney yesterday, says that Ed is slowly but
surely improving in health. {transcription note: Ed KERNS}

A ten-cent social will be held at Mrs. D. F. DUNAVIN's on Tuesday, August 5.
A cordial invitation is extended to all.

Mr. and Mrs. C. A. SMITH's family now numbers three girls, the youngest being
born on Tuesday, July 29. All doing well.

Mrs. K. E. WILLCOCKSON and Dolly started this morning to visit relatives at
Taylorville, Ill. K. E. accompanied them as far as Kansas City.

J. T. HILTON took the train last evening to Salina. He has the agency of
several central Kansas counties for an improved watering trough and will be away
some time.

Geo. H. McDORMAN and family, who have been staying in Russell county for some
time, returned to their home, a short distance southeast of this city, the
first of the week.

The Republican says that the reason PERRYMAN's bill was cut $200 was because
it was not "itemized." Ah! It says further that the bill was "laid aside."
That's a new name for it.

Through the kindness of the secretary we have received a copy of the
proceedings of the meeting of the county central committee held Saturday, but its
length compels us to omit it.

Jim FELTS, of Winona, and a companion started the first of the week to drive
through to eastern Ohio, but backed out on reaching Grinnell. Jim came back,
while his friend took the blind baggage for the east.

J. J. CONDON and family started Sunday evening for New York City, where they
will in the future reside. They intended staying in Kansas City about a week.
We are sorry to see such estimable families leave.

M. T. DOUGLASS, of Monument, and E. C. HOLMES, of Paxton, were in the city
Monday evening on their way to Grainfield to attend the alliance judicial
convention, to which they were delegates from this county.

Harmon SCOTT has left his position on the railroad and will shortly move his
family to Ellis, where he will run the only dray in that city. Mr. SCOTT is a
steady, industrious young man and we hope he will achieve success in his new
venture.

R. S. BLACK, manager of the Oakley Roller Mills, arrived from Wilton, Ia.,
the first of the week. He at once commenced buying all the wheat he could get
hold of for the mill, paying more than the market price. He returned to Wilton
last night, but will be back in about two weeks.

The foundation of the mill company's elevator is laid and a big force of
carpenters is now putting up the frame of the main building and engine room. Very
heavy timbers are being used in the construction of these buildings and when
finished they will be models of strength and workmanship.

The Colby base ball club has received challenges from both Oakley and Winona.
The Oakley base ball nine wish to play our boys for "meer championchip"
only.--Cat.
Someone outside of our nine must have been playing a joke on the Colby
fellows, for all the boys in our club are old enough to know better than to spell
like that.

P. W. NUDD, the veteran ranchman and market gardner, was in town Saturday
with a load of vegetables raised by irrigation on his Chalk creek ranch. He has
six acres of potatoes, which will average 125 bushels per acre. As potatoes
are worth from a dollar a bushel up, it looks to us as though gardening was
more profitable than cattle punching.

=========================

WANTED--WHEAT.

Bring your wheat to the Oakley Roller Mills. We want all we can get and will
pay more than the ruling market prices.
--R. S. BLACK, Manager.
