CREWS, Clerk. Auctioneer. W. D. BUTNER H.

M. Miss Ceora B. Lanham of To- peka, gave a very pleasing entertainment in Snyder's hall last Friday evening consisting of readings, recitations and impersonations. Miss Lanham is one of the best entertainers that comes to Dover. This was her third appearance here.

She has been on the platform all summer at chautauquas and has appeared in big company. Her audience was good, but not what she deserved. We don't want to find Dover guilty of shunning a good class of entertainments, and crowding houses for light ones. With should a proper encouragement, we have some entertainments this winter of the better class. A tongueless cultivator that for many months had stood in our worthy friend's, James Best's dooryard, was suddenly moved just after the Dover fair closed and was found in the horse lot on Harry Perkins' propery.

The day after it appeared there, three residents of Dover and vicinity carried around a grin on their faces that nearly reached from ear to ear, but nothing was said and the cultivator being tongueless, was forced to keep silent. On the morning after Halloween it was discovered that the cultivator, in imitation of the proverbial chicken, had come home roost, was resting comfortably on Syd Shafer's front porch in Dover. Some years ago, a worthy farmer who had just united with the Farmers' Alliance and was celebrating the event, was asked what the password was. He replied, "Cultivator a H-1 of a password." Those who were near when Syd came to Dover next day, say that he gave almost exactly the same password before he gained admission to his house. The rest of those who wore that grin are now looking out of their windows every morning in expectation of seeing their tongueless friend perched around their premises somewhere, and they won't be disappointed either, one of these days.

A CORRECTION- last week's issue of the Herald the printer who set the ad for the Scotch Woolen Mills bodily picked up that establishment and transported it across the street. He performed this mighty feat by the use of a little figure making their location read "633" Kansas avenue when it should have been However he (the printer) changed them back this week and our friend Tom Powell is pleasing the people with his $15 tailor made suits at the old stand-532 Kansas ave. Wm. Mansell and Alex. Mackenzie attended Masonic lodge at Maple Hill last Thursday evening.

They report a fine time at lodge, ending with a splendid supper. The Maple Hill boys are all right when it comes to entertaining their friends. O. W. Little was present as he always is when there is something good passing round.

He just naturally loves a good time. Mr. and Mrs. W. M.

Lyttle have just returned from an extended visit east among friends and relatives in Pennsylvania and Ohio. They report a very pleasant visit throughout, and return home feeling much better for their trip. One of the first things Mrs. Lyttle did after returning home was to phone the Herald office that she wanted her name on our subscription list. There is a movement on foot to hold union revival services in Dover during the month of January.

The services of Rev. Kendall, who has just closed a series of meetings at Eskridge, can be had at that time. There is nothing certain about this, but the matter is under discussion by the pastors and officers of the different churches. Aaron Doty returned Wednesday of last week from Miltonvale where he has been visiting tending his brother college there. Walter who is at- Mr.

A. Wyllie, our apple king, was in Topeka last week on business. Claude Ross shipped a carload of cattle to Kansas City, last week. Sam Verhage of Valencia was in Dover last Thursday on business. C.

F. Lawing has rented the stable on Mrs. H. E. Snyder's property.

James G. Tomson was in Hutchinson part of last week attending a stock sale. Mrs. Jean B. Tomson has gone to Kansas City for a couple of weeks.

She will be the guest of friends. Hugh Hewins purchased a car of fine fat steers from Chas. M. Todd last Monday, and shipped them to Kansas City. A.

L. Rogers was a visitor in Dover last Srturday. Rogers is a jolly good fellow and we are always glad to see him. Mrs. Margaret Snyder has gone to Kansas City and will spend some time there with her daughter, Mrs.

Flickinger. Corn shucking and cold fingers were united in bonds not to be easily broken on last Thursday. This union will last until toward spring. W. B.

Harsha lost two steer calves last week with what seemed to be the dreaded "'black This may not have been the trouble, but Mr. Harsha fears it was. Quite a number of relatives and friends of the bride, who live in this community, were present at the Moneypenny-West wedding in Topeka last Saturday evening. Tax notices are. flying thick this week.

They are not receiving a very warm reception, but we are under many obligations to the county treasurer for sending them out. The Pansy Club met with Mrs. John R. Tomson last Thursday afternoon. For some time to come this organization will meet each Thursday for work on sewing, for mission purposes.

We understand that the county commissioners have taken in hand the repairs to the public road about one mile this side of Willard on the county line. This refers particularly to the place where the creek has eaten away almost all the original road bed. We know this information will be gladly received by citizens of Dover who use the road so much, and especially Le Roy Doty, our mail carrier. The Pansy Club will hold their annual dinner, and auction of things useful and beautiful which they have been preparing during the past summer, on Saturday, Novembea 18. The dinner is free to everyone who wishes to come in and enjoy a good dinner with them, but anyone who feels their conscience hurting them on account of eating such a fine dinner for nothing, can ease their minds by dropping a donation into the open hand of a Pansy.

After the dinner the auction will take place, under the capable direction of Mr. W. A. Bowles who has a cinch on that job owing to his shape, which shows off the aprons and other wearing apparel to great advantage when displayed on his ample form. Everybody should attend this dinner and sale and enjoy a good time.

In another column will be found a very interesting letter, especially to our Auburn friends, from Mr. W. O. McElroy, who used to live in the Auburn neighborhood but who now resides in San Diego, California. His letter is another reminder that our absent friends appreciate our little paper more than we realize, and should be an incentive to many of our people at home to make a Christmas gift of a year's subscription to their absent friends.

We are mailing our paper already, altho it is only two months old, to subscribers in sixteen different states outside of Kansas. Mrs. Martha Dagg has been visiting with friends in Topeka for several days. We always feel sorry for Will when his wife leaves him at any time, for it is all she can do to keep him out of the bone yard in spite of her splendid cooking, and he must run down frightfully when he has to depend on his own cooking to keep him alive. Lew Kingsley's house is nearing completion, and when finished will make Lew a neat, comfortable home.

Lew says the change from the old house will be more than he can stand all at once, and he thinks he will be obliged to sleep with his feet hut of the window for awhile, until he gets used to it. Charlie Suit, representing the Davis Mercantile Company, made his usual visit to Dover Saturday last. Charlie's new auto makes the trip one of pleasure rather than labor. Delbert Mossman has rented the R. T.

Boyer and Howard N. Griggs farms for next year. REAL TAILOR SERVICE WITHIN REACH OF EVERY MAN There was a time when man's sense of economy dictated that he buy ready made clothes (cold storage clothes we call them). Now that time is past. There's no need of you wearing a poor imitation of the tailor's art.

Why? Our system gratifies that secret desire of most every man -that is to wear garments whose very cut bespeaks his tailor's skill. You'll find it worth your while even to see the great array of new woolenspure wool and shrink proof. SUIT or UNION MADE Made to OVERCOAT CA Order No other tailor on earth can duplicate our values under $25.00, $15 suits possible, and althe first tailors to make were The the Scotch originators Woolen Mills and Scotch Original $15 Tailors. in the face of the most unways scrupulous first in value competition. giving WOOLEN MILLS Beware of Imitators.
