The district school in Wray is apparently as large as it was before the high school was detached, and the county high school exceeds in numbers the expectations of those most intimate with its prospects. In fact, every capacity for school service is taxed to its utmost limit.

Mr. Orlando Crittendon, wife and two children, were in the city last Sunday and Monday, the guests of C. E. Kellar and family. Mr. Crittendon is a railroad man at Indianapolis, Indiana, and is on a trip through the west for the purpose of investing in land, and had a letter of introduction to Mr. Kellar. He was very much taken with our farming section and wanted to buy it all, but said his purse wouldn't stand for so much. They left for Denver and the mountains Monday, but will return later, and see if they cannot find something that will suit them.


Yuma County Fair.

All that remains to make the Yuma County Fair the biggest success ever is for the farmers to see to it that each one has in a lot of stuff on exhibition, and make selections that will walk off with the premiums. Do it, farmers, and make this fair your fair, and the money offered in premiums you money. The men of Wray have expended dollar after dollar to advertise the county and thus have brought up to a great extent, the value of your land, and now it is up to you, Mr. Farmer, to do your part of the advertising by showing what this land will produce.


Mr. and Mrs. Howard Ferguson who had been visiting Mrs. Ferguson's parents at Aurora, Nebraska, the past month, returned home the first of the week, and Howard is again found at his post-or rather, the key-at the depot. He says he is not yet well of the hay fever, but that he feels much better than he did when he went away. He looks better, too.


J. T. Rightsell informs the Gazette that the creamery company is now paying twenty-two cents per pound for butter fat. This is considered a good price for this time of year.

He Proved His Alibi.

The Sunday school superintendent was reviewing the lesson "Who led the children of Israel out of Egypt?" he asked. There was no answer.

Pointing to a little boy at the end of seat, he demanded a little crossly: "Little boy, who led the children of Israel out of Egypt?" The little boy was ready to cry as he piped out with a quavering voice: "Please, sir, it wasn't me. We just moved here last week. We're from Missoury."

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy One of the Best on the Market

It is pleasant and safe to take and is undoubtedly the best in the market for the purposes for which it is intended. Sold by all druggists.


Simon S. Dow and the editor and wife had a delightful visit of a few moments over at No. 6, Tuesday evening, with Prof. H. R. Esterbrook and wife of Hedding College, Abingdon, Illinois. Prof. and wife had been spending a month in the mountains, and were on their way home to resume their school work. Prof. Esterbrook is master of science in the Hedding college while his wife is principal of the conservatory of music. At one time he was over the science department of a college in Nebraska of which Mr. Dow as a student, and in which town the editor was proprietor of a newspaper. It had been years since any of the parties had met, and to say the few moments were spent enjoyably would be expressing it mildly.


Bob Walkup, from whom his wife, Mrs. Belle Walkup, was granted a divorce some weeks ago, has been highly incensed at the family of his wife ever since that time, and last Sunday evening engaged in a fistic encounter with Mrs. Walkup's brother, Fred Weaver.

It is said that serious charges will be preferred against Walkup now, that he has repeatedly declared that he will kill some members of this family, the attorney who prosecuted the divorce case, and the editor of this paper for having given the news of the trial. He was brought up for trial Tuesday forenoon, and fined $35 and costs, and failing to pay his fine, he was reprimanded to jail.
