The charge for announcements of candidates for political nominations, in those columns, is regulated by the amount of space occupied. Emmet Kaunal’s ice cream parlor, in room over his drug store, is the place to take your lady, if you want to troat her to a dish of delicious cream. A commendablo spirit of cleanliness is being manifested this season at the court house, and a number of the public offices have been papered and calciminod. Kannal’sice cream parlor is always clean and tidy, and on* youngfriend, Billy Mosb, is ever ready and willing to dish up cream to customers. Billy seems to understand his “biz.” Give him a call.

Young man when you bring your lassie in town to celebrate the 4th of July, by all means take her to Kannal’s ice cream parlor, and treat her to a dish of that excellent ice cream, so cooling to the parched lips and heated breath, and she will stick to you like a blind mule to a tub of corn. . ~ : ' y Mrs. Hemphill has moved her stock of millinery goods down stairs into the old room above Fendig’s store.
