--TuE new stained glass windows

realty to the appearance of that al

IN the corner of Second and St. Ann

GEO. W. STAFFORD, who lief. Ra-
pides about year ago, has sent US
copy of the Gunnison Ne'os, a neat

The change ia the weather has enll-
vened them somewhat, and the sour
Summer scowl usually depicted on

were struck with the words "There's
millions in it," On the front of the

perhaps a "new count" would con.

WE cannot too often remind all
needing work in either the wheel
wright or blacksmith line, to call at
the shop of Johnnie" Harris, cor
