Of this firm, formerly doing business
under the name of D. Stone s.: co. r, It
will be seen that they are still increas-
ing their business and . will hereafter
deal in fuel, brick, lime, clustering hair
and farm machinery, and will continue
to buy wheat and sell all kinds Of lum-
Der. -, ..:.,s..,r> @ - -.
Wcpaid visit recently to their lum-
Der yard and found eight mem busy
piling, and immense piles OF lumber
rising to u height which reminded us
of our early Impressions of the Egypt
ian pyramids. !: ..".~. -: -.
AS our readers are aware, this firm is
comparatively 4 new one, having begun
business last summer, but from the
outset they have had u large trade with
Rock County, Dakota, and Spirit Lake,
Iowa. They have conducted their
business on liberal basis, and have
drawn TO Worthington a good deal of
trade which formerly went to Sibley,
Window, and elsewhere. They ire do
ing also Il wholesale lumber business,
and are supplying dealers at I.uVerne,
Valley Springs, and other points. They
are now laying in a large stock, their
daily receipts being from five to eight
CIR loads. They furnish heavy bridge
timber from the extensive mills of Her.
sey, Bean & Brown, of saltwater,
whom they represent at this point.
Their heavy trade shows the wisdom
OF liberal methods in business and the
demand there is at NVorthington for
business men of energy and push, who
appreciate the advantages of our posi-
ton and have the length of arm to
reach out over ten counties and grasp
it. They are just fairly entering upon
business career which cannot fail,
with good management, to he signally
successful.
CIlleIsYMAS IN WoRTX1lNG7Ux:
Christmas passed off with the usual
theoretical suspension of business and
the customary congratulations. Moth
ing occurred, so far as we know, to mar
the good order Of the place or the hap
pincss of any one. A few drank a little
too much tea and coffee Tor something)
and felt independent and ''promiscu-
ous." We hear of Christmas trees at
G. Z. Sutton's, II. D. IIumiston's, E.
II. lIumiston's and NJ. Grinager's. A
number Of families, Capt. Smiths, DR..
Moore's, W. II. Benefits D. Stones,
Mrs. Deans and d. S. Laws, united in
4 Christmas tree at Mr.. Laws house,
and the presents amounted to about
$500.
1t is singular that in the Christian
town OF Worthington, with five church
organizations, there were 10 religious
services on Christmas.
