This action on the part of the court
met with popular approval, and as
Curtis hurried from the court room
wffh his wife he was cheered by the
big crowd of spectators.

HOW DID YOU VOTE?
Well, it don't matter, now election
Is over and all seem satisfied. Pros
perity is on every hand. Real estate
is double what ft was two years
ago, crops have been good and prices
are excellent, there is plenty of work
at good wages; perhaps the most
marked evidence of prosperity and
confidence the people have In the
country Is the fact that Burr's Music
House has sold two carloads of the
famous Bush & Lane pianos In about
two months and a half and have the
third (3rd) car on the road. We
attribute our success largely to the
prosperity of the country, yet there
are other things which should come
in for their share of credit; firstly,
we have never been able to offer such
piano values before and, secondly,
the people are waking up to this
booster spirit and see the advisabil
ity of patronizing home merchants.
