He came to Gray county in 1880, locating in old township, where ho "held trown a claim" for several years, moving to Cimarron in '08. Ho has had considerable bad as well as good luck, but takes life as it comes and never worries over trifles. The Sentinel has just turned out a nice lot ot business cards on which he advertises "the finest carriages in the city and the fleetest horses in the west." The best evidence of Andy's progressive spirit is the fact that he believes in the liheral use of printer's ink and advertises lavishly. School Picnic.

Johnston of Cimarron Kansas, droppod in on us last Friday evening and enjoyed a short visit in a live town, returning homo again the first of tho week He was very much pleased with our little city, but having beon a resident of Western Kansas for ovor a quarter of century it would be hard work trying to convince hiin that there is any place that will equal the short grass coun try. hliudale Reporter. Mr. Johnston has lived in Cim arron for more thnn twenty years. lid tho short grass microbe has a thorough hold on him.

Three tramps two negroes and a white boy wero locked up tho callabooso Sunday night for safo keeping and to preveut them from burglarizing some of the business houses, as it was feared they might do. They had boon in but a short time whon thoy set tire to the building and attomptoi to burn the lock off and make their escape. Drew Evans, assist ant marshal, happened to pass the building about 0 o'clook and discovered the II nines. He called in Marshal Fisher after extiu guishing the tiro, and the prison. ors were handcuffed together ai compelled to remain in the jail until morning when thoy were given a good strong talk and a shove westward toward the sun's rotreat.

The Cimarron Sentinel man says there is going to be a grab for land in Gray county. We don't see any particular need of this whon much better land can be secured in Meade county in a quiet way. Meade Globe. Why indulge in pipe dreams in a matter of this kind, Bro. Fuhr? Tho fact of the matter is the two countios are only divided by an imaginary line, and the soil is just as good on one side as tho other.

The Sentinel editor is a great admirer of Meade county and her people, and next to Cimarron would rather live in Meade than any other town iu Kansas You ought to be g-jod, Mr, Globe Uiuu, their bids for business. But the facts are we have neat, clean, respectable little place here where pence perpetually reigns but for the occasional trumpeting of some would-be reformer. Bike fiends are awheel again. Several century in their mind racers pass through our village daily, and wo feel like ringing chestnut bells every time we see a biker. 1 ho bike is not what it once was in popularity with the common people, only a few would- be racers keeping alive the bo- called sport.

This season the gaudy sweater is not tho proper thing, ana to be in style you must dress iu plaiuor colors, preferably black. Wo don't like kickers, neither do you, nor neither does any one like them for that matter. For nstanco, we overheard a certain citizen say to another who had expressed the hope that Mrs. Mo Kinley would soon recover: Oh, good enough for them they will perhaps return home now and quit squandering public funds. la thiB not a bright example of latriotisin and loyalty to the gal-ant leader who is directing the destiny of over seventy millions of free bom souls? Some people would kick if the pearly gates were to open wide and they were to bo wheeled insido on a ball bearing motocyolo.

"The past with lost opportuni ties is gone forever. The future with vast Buccess is open to all." Wo tound this little motto on a small card which was picked up on the streot Sunday, and we thought it a little gem of a busi ness sermon worthy ot a Ueecher. How prone wo aro to regret the past when regretting of its very own Bolf is of no value unless it teaches us the proper use of our valuable time in tho future. So the little motto at tho top of this note has vast possibilities if mor ally carried out by ony young man or woman who would make for themselves a name from hich others might draw inspiration. Do not regret tho past, but look to the luturo.

John Dodson is up from his Crooked Creek ranch. He will remain in our burg until Decora tion Day when will be ono of tho inusiciaiiB at Cimarron, where we understand a fine program will bo carried out. In this connection wo wish to remind tho people that a day Bpent in honoring the bravo boys who laid down their lives that these United Statos might become a Union iu fact, and not a thing of discord and discontent, is a day well spent; and that eoch succeeding Decora tion Day will, we bolieve, further cement the ties that bind us to gether in a common Union. Thero is no North or South in the year 1001. Let the people of Ingalls be not loss patnotio than our neighbors in Cimarron, but join with them in our common cause Let ub honor tho fallen.
