MRS. S. PUTNAM, Manager.
Mr. W. C. Golden of Fort Worth is now in the counting
room of the general store.
J. K. Kehoe of Kansas City is here to take a position in one
of the mercantile deparments.
Miss Earle Harwood was summoned to Stephenville last Sat-
urday by the serious illness of a child of her sister, Mrs. Keith.
The babe died before her arrival.
Capt. G. F. Cowden of Midland, farther of our townsman,
Jeff Cowden, was in camp this week. While here he called on
The Miner, and had many complimentary things to say about
us.
Our new hotel has been christened "Hotel Knox."
"Our Colonel" has a fierce bull-dog, recently received from
St. Louis.
Several of our county candidates addressed "the dear people"
at the town hall Wednesday night. They made good talks, and
their audience was interested.
Generally speaking, our county candidates are an intelligent
looking body of men, having a business air about them that
is commendable, and are sociable and pleasant gentlemen to
meet.
Mr. Cammack of the dry goods department has taken the
agency for Born & Co., clothiers, Chicago; also the agency for
Thomson's glove-fitting corsets, handled by Langdon & Bachelor.
If there is any community where the citizens enjoy life any
more than they do in this town we do not know where it is.
"Our boys" are good workers, and just know how to enjoy
life when working hours are over.
The colored public school of Thurber will give it's second an-
nual exhibition at the city hall on Monday night, May 21. The
public is invited. A small admission fee will be charged to de-
fray expenses. Exercises commence at 8:30 o'clock.
A buggy and two road carts, and good ones, manufactured by
the Parry manufacturing company. Indianapolis, Ind., for sale.
Apply at The Miner office or to Mr. Bassett, at the company's
livery stable. You can get a better buggy or a better cart for
less money from us than from anvbc dy else on earth.
The T. & P. Coal company, after looking around for some
time, has secured the services in its jewelry department of Mr.
G. Ivressler. Mr. Kressler learned his trade in Switzerland, and
is a thorough workman. Cleaning and repairing of the most ex-
pensive and costly watches he has been familiar with. No city
in the land can do better work in that line than can be done in
this town.
Eddie Settle, errand boy at the meat market, had a miracu-
lous escape from being run over by the switch engine Tuesday
afternoon. He was riding on the foot-board of the engine, and
attempted to jump off, falling directly in front of it. He partial-
ly arose, and the engine struck him, throwing his legs across the
track, but he fell with his knees high enough so that the foot-
board threw him off. Had he fallen straight there would have
been a funeral Wednesday. This should be a warning to the
many careless youngsters who monkey around Gilfoyl's broncho.
Some of "the boys" found a a horse-shoe a few nights since,
between midnight and day, and came on the gallery in front of
our office to argue the point as to who found it, and the name of
the steed that lost it. The argument was anything but melodi-
ous. Boys, hereafter when you find a horse-shoe, we don't care
a snap who finds it, or where you hang it, on a wall or or a mes-
quite bush, or whether the horse that lost it was named Exile or
Coxey, or whether or not it was one of Jeff Cowden's mules—
just don't come around our shebang to sing (?) about it; if you
do there'll be a premature Fourth of July celebration, followed
by a funeral. See ?
PERSONAL MENTION.
Clarence Bass of Fort Worth is visiting in camp.
Warfield Ward is visiting in Fort Worth this week.
Pure Food.
Butterine is a much abused product.
As a matter of fact it is pure, sweet,
wholesome, and infinitely preferable to
ordinary country butter. A special
correspondent of this paper recently
visited the factory owned and operated
by the Armour Packing* Co., of Kansas
City, manufacturers of the widely
advertised Silver Churn Butterine. A
five story building is perfectly fitted
for the scientific preparation of this
food product. Everything is spotlessly
clean; all appliances are the latest and
most improved, and every precaution is
taken to secure the production of an
absolutely pure and wholesome food.
All processes are under the direction of
a foreign chemist who has made the
skilful combination of pure sweet fats
the study of his life. He pays as much
attention to details as does the most
fastidious housekeeper to her cooking.
The result is that Silver Churn Butter-
ine is ever fresh, fragrant and delicious
—a dainty delicacy for the table.
Scientific experts endorse the new
fond:
Prof. Charles Chandler, of New Yo~k
Citv, says: "The product is palatable
and wholesome and I regard it as a
most valuable article of food."
Prof. J. S. W. Arnold, Medical De-
partment, University of New York,
says: "A blessing for the poor, and in
every way a perfectly pure, wholesome
and palatable article of food."
