F.

The newly weds left immediately after the cermony for Lenora where they will make their future home. Mr.

Hardman has a place in his brother's clothing store at that place. The Reveille extends congratulations and best wishes. Pleased With Solomon Valley Sanford- -Hardman. From Daily Drovers Telegram. N.

Crank, of Hill City, Kansas, is well pleased with the Solomon river valley country out there in the western end of the state. Mr. Crank ought to know something about that valley, too, as he has lived there 33 years. When he landed there, the prairies were open, and not a settler could be found outside of the scattering settlements along the river. Following farming and the stock business many years Mr.

Crank put in the time very successfully until recently when he sold his land possessions and moved to Hill City, where he has just erected a handsome 17-room modern house in which to take life "It gives me a great deal of easy. pleasure to occasionally look that country over, and recall what it was when I went there," said Mr, Crank. "I am proud of it, for the reason that with all the joking and ridiculing of the state, and especially that part of it, we have been going ahead all the time. The antelope and other game were plentiful when I went there. Little shacks and settlers were also to be found.

poor But I find now in looking about that thrifty farmers are becoming more numerous each year, and the country is building up in a most substantial manner. Wheat raising has been the leading occupation of the Graham county farmers, and they have been making money at it. This winter has been very dry, but I do not believe that the wheat has really suffered much. If the spring weather is favoroble, i it will come through all right, and make good. Hill City vs.
