have his three-year-old son, Clyde
Chapman, who was In possession of
his wife, Nettle Chapman, declared a
dependent child, and for him to be
granted the right to visit the child
when he desired. This was (he flrRt

GOOD HORSES
need good shoes on their feet
Just as much ns persons do.
Some people think that it is
more important to have their
horses wear good, well-fitting
shoes than It is to have them
themselves. The horses have
to work for you and to get
good service from them you
will certainly need to treat
them well. Come here when
you want any
Horse Shoeing
done, and we will do It
quickly and well.
