Alex Shields made a trip to Bcranton Arkansas Valley Democrat this week, to look after some unsettled business. Mr. Wm. Spore and family, residing Ufllec West Side Main Street, between Fithiuul Sixth, over Malm's Drug Store. Xcwton't Prldt.

If there is one thing more than nil else that this city takc3 pride In, it Is its first class establit-hments in all linos of business. Among tho most prominent is that oftheNtwton Furniture Company, perhaps as extensive establishment of tho kind as can he found in tho slate. During the past week they moved their stock from their old stand lo Boyd'B new block, dl. rect ly across Main Btreet, odjoirilug tho RfdBWlch Nandwlcbca. It Is a burning shame to to many fine young men 011 the base ball ground these warm afternoons, Turn same people had hctier sell dry goods, drive drav, or help their dads on the farm, and not fool It away as they are doing.

Jernigan acom-panied by bis son-in-law, and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Crocket, and half dozen grand children made us a most welcome vis.il on show day. Our Sedgwick communication of last week was mailed Thursday, 21st, as distinctly shown by the postmark, and reached our box in the Newton postoftlce Sunday, 24th, There is no sta. tiou between this city and Sedgwick, and if it left' there at tho time indicated by the postmark, then tho route agent or the Newton postofflce is to blame.

Requiring three days for Uncle Bam lo carry a letter ten miles in this" day and age of railroads is extraordinary to say the least. The editor's family were placed under obligations balurday of last week to some unknown friend for a liberal donation of fresh garden "sass," consisting of lettuce, beans, raddishes, currants, gooseberries, that were smuggled iato the Dbmo-crat sanctum. Upon top of the hugh pile was found a card upon which was written "To the Dbmocrat, from a Democrat." This information concernin the generous donor was sufficient; we now know him to be a big hearteJ, whole-souled, though extremely modest gentleman. In his article on tho Editorial Association meeting in this city Editor Klainc of The Dodge City Times has this to say: "We were struck with the apparent cor and the fact that the flooring space is more near Ilalstead, made ui a pleasant visit on circus day, A young man fooling about one of the traction engines in the rear of Barnett Foltz's hardware store, the other day, got his toes prettty badly pinched. Since writing the above we have ascertained the name of the gentlemen and know him to be all that we supposed when writing the above.

The editors who honored Newton with a visit a week ago having returned to their respective tripods, have each made favorable mention of the city and its prospects. The advertising that Newton has received, in consideration of tendering courtesy where it was due, has been of incalculable benefit. Mr. P. L.

Robinson, residing two miles south of town, made us a plwsant call last Monday, and cheered us on our road to success. He is of that class of farmers who never fail to realize a crop, and the secret, of his success lies in understanding his business. He says he has been in almost every agricultural section in the United States, and rinds 'no section where the seasons are more propitious than in this. than 5350 square feet. The MAIN SALESROOM is 25x120 feet, with plato glass front.

In this room we find a complete assortment of furniture, many of the articles being worthy of mere than a passing notice. The first to atiract our attention whs a handsome marble trimmed bedroom set, a novel feature of which was a washetand with a mirror attached. The next was an elegant walnut sett with marble tonued dressing case and washbtaud the price of est in Kansas; which compliment P. D. overheurd and thinks the Ilalstead roan has sense.
