A MATTER OF BUSINESS
We find ourselves overstocked on summer footwear. We believe it a good plan to GIVE YOU the full benefit of any concessions we have to offer at this time. It is best appreciated when most needed. We therefore inaugurate on FRIDAY MORNING June 17, a large clearing sale of footwear. Come in and select the shoes you like, the prices of which are plainly marked on the box, deduct 25 PER CENT from the marked price and pay me the balance. This is the kind of a clearing sale we are going to have. WEST SIDE SQUARE E.Y. RICE.

DEATH OF J. W. TOMLINSON.
Word was received Monday by C.C. Tomlinson, giving an account of his brother's death at Battle Ground, Indiana, which occurred June 8th. Joseph Tomlinson was well known in this vicinity, having lived on the home farm southeast of town since coming here in 1857, excepting nearly four years, until about four years ago, when he went to Indiana to reside. He was in business nearly three years at New Market and one year at Soldrege, Nebraska. He leaves a wife and one child, a daughter aged about 15. He was born in Highland county, Ohio, in 1832. Of late years he has been afflicted with Brights disease and his system was so undermined that his final sickness was very brief. He was highly regarded in this community and in his home neighborhood and will be remembered for his cheerfulness and good nature and his friendly ways. He was a good citizen a kind neighbor.

C. church at Hazel Grove S. H. He sleeps but not forever. We shall meet him in the morning, and friends let us live so as when Jesus calls and awakens the dead, we shall be with the blessed.
