have passed another epoch in the
history of young and old alike
will have come and gone. Good
Old Saint Nick will have been
j simons: "us distributing to the
J faithful the remembrances of the
yule-tide season.
Never in the history of Ran
dsdl county have there been so
much, reason for a joyful time as
we may expect during this an
nual holiday. Every one has
prospered according as he has
labored and everyone will be
able to celebrate the successful
year by giving and receiving
those tokens of friendship and
love as are appropriate to the
occasion.
At each of the churches in this
city celebrations will be held on
Christmas eve. Christmas trees
will be the order of the day and
appropriate exercises will be
had. Already arrangements are
being made for the different
articles which go to make up the
beautiful decorations which will
be used and for the fruits, nuts,
candies and various other articles
which will be distributed.
The stores in this city where
holiday goods are on display are
being crowded every day with
the present-seekers and the
merchants report an unusually
large advance sale of these arti
cles. It seems that "Old Santa''
will be in Canyon City whether
it snows or not.

When wintry winds so wildly blow,
And ill the meadows 'round irt

When loving lips may pout, although

Tis merry 'neath the mistletoe.

GOOD PRICE FOR HOGS.
Randall County Citizen Disposes of Fat Swine at
Good Price on Foot Says This
is a Good Hog Country.
J. D. Knicelj", who lives south
of this city, was in the city Mon
day bringing with him forty-five
head of hogs which he had sold
to S. M. Downing at five cents
per pound. The average weight
of the hogs was 254 pounds and
therefore the size of the check
received for this by-product of
Mr. Knicely's nice farm assumed
proportions which would cause a
man to stop and look up.
To the News reporter Mr.
Knicely said that he had been
raising hogs ever since he came
to this country many years ago
and had found that they were
great profit makers, and that as
long as he stayed in Randall
county he would continue to
raise them. He still has on hand
some fifty or sixty head which
he expects to keep over until
next fall at which time he ex
pects to have very heavy fat
stuff for the market.
Mr. Knicely claims that hogs
are entirely free from any
trouble of any kind here and that
they can be raised at a much
smaller expense than anywhere
else about which he knows. He
also claims that kaftir corn and
milo maize make as fine feed for
hogs as anything that can be had
in the feed line, claiming that the
hogs digest every particle of
these feeds which are given
them therefore making weight
out of every pound of the feed.
For a Lame Back.
When you have pains or lame
ness in the back bathe the parts
with Chamberlain's Liniment
twice a day, massaging with the
palm of the had for five minutes
at each application. Then
dampen a piece of flannel slight
ly with this liniment and bind it
on over the seat of pain, and you
may be surprised to see how
quickly the lameness disappears.
