Goodland Herald: Baldwin now has an opportunity tb.show the depositors of the defunct Goodland Bank whether he intends to pay out or not. For the >60,000.00 that he took from the bank he gave notes of >IO,OOO each, the first one falling due on the first day of May, 1908, and the remaining five will be due six months apart, the last in the fall of 1910. The first of these notes was due yesterday. If he pays this note promptly it will look as if he intends to make his promises good to some extent at least. If he does not pay up, and pay at once, it will be plain that he is working nothing but a skin game.

John Howell was called to Pierpoint, So. Dak., last week by the sudden death of his brother J. E. Howell, a former resident of this vicinity. The coroner decided that death was due to heart failure, but there were circumstances surrounding his death that caused suspicion of foul play. His body was found about 11 o’clock at night lying face downward in the street the only mark of violence being a bruise on' the forehead that the coroner decided was caused from his 'falling to the ground. Considerable money which he had had about his person was missing, however, and the body was found in a part of town that he would not likely have gone in going home from his grain elevator,, where he was with his partner that evening, leaving about 9 o’clock for his home.

When they get everything completed he will have one of the nicest little homes in this section of the country. Health is pretty good in our little town nowadays, with a few exceptions. Grandma Moffitt is about as well as usual; Uncle Jim Blake is failing fast; Grandfather Wilson, who is blind and is staying with his daughter Mrs. Umfrees, is getting quite feeble, he being something over 82 years old. The temperance people of Lincoln tp„ Newton county, won out in the last fight against two applicants for license Monday, one at Thayer and the other at the river, near

the bridge, known as Fogli’s. This will give them a rest for a couple of years to come. It is reported that the saloon element laughed and bragged and prophesied the fate of the remonstrators. Now the laugh has changed. The old saying is, “He who laughs last laughs best,” and it surely is so in this case.

Remember the Fourth of July is to be celebrated here this year and a good lively committee aje now at work making preparations for the grandest time ever had in northern Jasper.

Reed McCoy has taken advantage of the present advance in prices by packing his ware house full to the brim with store goods while the prices were yet normal, and thus he is able to supply your wants promptly and at the usual low price.

So to make certain of having some nice shade to pass the noon hours under in the dim and distant future, he has planted a few rows of shade tree plants. When Saturday morning dawned fur caps, overcoats and mittens was the order of wearing apparel. Ice was frozen over small watering troughs and a thin crust frozen on the ground. Much fear has been entertained as to the safety of the fruit, but it is stated by some of the older heads that it is not likely any damage has been done to fruit yet. “Uncle” Jimmy Raddle was in Hanging Grove a few days ago looking after some cattle he has on his pasture land. Mr. Randle has become quite feeble of late years, although quite a spirited man for his age. His eyesight seems to be the most noticeable falling, so much so that he is unable to distinguish old friends very far away only by their voice.

We all wish him well. Word has been received here from Mitchell, So. Dak., stating that Miss Kate Maxwell has been in quite poor health since moving out there last spring with Sam Parker’s. It will be remembered by most of her friends here that, she had become quite well of her chronic sickness before leaving here. The cause of her recent illness seems to be attributed largely to the climate and water of that, country. She may return to Indiana’ again.

It seems that farmers have been and are being awakened to the fact that manure spreaders are the only practical means of scattering mulching material on their fields. Some seven or eight are now in use in our township. Of course all conditions of the ground will not permit their use, for the soil must be firm enough to cause the large drive wheels, with bearings attached, to give motion to the machinery. Bill wherever these conditions are permlssable they are a wonderful advantage over the fork and wagon, as more ground can be covered in a day, and better still, a more even distribution of the materian is effected.
