This has been another good week amoung the elevators of Grinnell.

Both Jones and the Shella-barger did a good business. Not nearly so much as last week came to town, but several thousand bushels came in daily. Mrs. Geo. D.

Royer and children started Wednesday to Everest Kansas to visit Mr. Royers sister Mrs. J. Jones and family. Mrs.

C. A. Evans and daughter from Kansas City is visiting their friends this week Mrs. C. J.

Elli-thorpe. and family living East of Gove. D. A. Borah is writing hail insurance for tne "best" hail insurance company doing business in Kansas the Farmers Mutual Hail Insuranae company of Minnesota.

See him. tf Mr. and Mrs. L. Bornt are at Salida, on their outing and and are having a fine time.

Representative D. M. Dennis on the republican ticket in this county is one of ihe "second term" fellows. In other words Mr. Dennis is out for re-election to succeed himself in the legbhture.

Dave, as he is commonly called, is justly entitled to reelection from any poitu of view that taken of the situation. He is one of the county's most substantial citizens, is a progressive fellow and a well-bal-nnced conservative man with plenty of good sound business judgment and sense to do things right, being strictly honest, upright and at all times above things essential in the man to represent the people. Besides this he is a farmer free from the taints of a professional politician assuring the farmer and the humblest citizen that he will be ever ready to work for the interests of the farm and farm interests. He gave up valu- able time to devote his attention to the office at a small and insufficient salary, however, attended well his duties with honor to his name and satisfaction to his people, meriting the best vote next November that his party can muster. While at the state house attending the last session of the legislature his vote is shown to have been on the side of the peop'e at every issue of the.

greatest or least importance. Mr. Dennis is entitled to all the respect his county can bestow upon him. The fact that a United States senator is to be named this fall by the representatives makes it a duty of every loyal republican voter in the county to see that Mr. Dennis is given an opportunity to express the strong Bristow sentiment in Gove county.

The Quinter Advocate's editor bestowed his usual amount of weekly self-praise in the last issue of the Advocate. In fadt Willie is there stronger than the striped cat with the strong smell when it comes to pining complimentary bouquets on himself, in fact is so proficient in the art of spreading the salve Willie's way that he has never yet been caught red handed or guilty of giving anyone listening to his puffs of 98 percent test, an opportunity to compliment him for anything-Willie always manages to land there first, however, in his over anxiety' to wrap up a bouqet for the Advocate, Willie overlooked his strongest point. 'Tis true, so he says, that the new press installed by the Advocate is the cylinder pres operated in Gove county with power. To this there may be some question, but at that there is no doubt considerable satisfaction to the Quinter marvel in the height of perfection attained in his plant but along with this there is also equally as much satisfaction to the rest of the gang in Gove county in knowing that he is also the sole proprietor of the ONLY newspaper ever operated in Gove county that was operated principally with barn yard salve, hot air and self -bestowed praise. Spread 'er Willie, the whole country's blind as bats.

The Rev. J. R. Smelser of Muscogee, gave a very interesting lecture at the Christian church in this city last Sunday evening. He well also deliver an address on the same subject at the same building on week from next Sunday at 7:30 o'clock slow the horses sold at the George Graha.n sale Tuesday brought more money per head than any thing ever put on the auction block in this country, we believe.

One three year old mare, unbroken, brought $190.50, a price that is about the top notch. The mare, however, was a magnificent animal and was perhaps well viorth the fabulous price payed for her. Fred Pugh, a son of J. K. Pugh, pur chased her along with another, giving $336.50 for a team of unbroken three years olds, both mates.

Mrs. Tennessee Ritchie returned last week from Teunesse where she has been visiting relatives and friends for the past month. Anion Nation, who has been in Norton county for the past several week, returned home Saturday. For good second hand farm wagon. Inquire of C.

Terrill. tf. A number of young folks over south of town as well as some few from town gathered at the home of K. A. Chadwick last Friday evening and treated Chadwick to a genuine surprise party.

A large number were out aad a fine time was had. The Ben Beougher sa'e last Fri clay was a dandy, judging from a financial standpoint of view. Horses, as usual, sold way Out of sight, and everything else equally as well. The father and mother of the Byars Bros, visited in this city the last of the week. Billie Sidles and wife will leave next Wednesday evening for a short visit at Humansville, Mo.

J. Lindauer came on from Washington, Wednesday evening to look after his wheat crops northwest of town. Art Gallion has done about as well this season with a wheat crop as anyone that we have heard of. Art this year raised and sold 1000 bushels of wheat that' tested 61 and 62 pounds to the bushel and received 81 cents to the bushel straight through. The net sum of $810 for a thousand bushels of wheat is pretty good.

To the Common School Graduates of Gove County Again has returned that time of the year when the mind instinctively begins to think upon the question "Where am I to go to school this year?"
