Der of inhabitants, is much smaller than
any other place in the state,

This city is justly indebted to such
men as II. ID. Hubbard, j. A. Willard
and half dozen others for its leading
manufacturing industries. Such men
as they are, men of brains, means and
energy is what builds up II town and
gives it prominence both at home and
abroad. Til oil mill and large brick
flour mill are two prominent manuiac,
tories that any city may he proud of
and they are only u few of the many
enterprises these gentlemen have been
interested in TO help the city in its com,
pctitivc race for future prominence
There are others in town with ample
capital who might, with similar energy
start the wheels of numerous project,
that would ultimately rebound to the
credit of the city and themselves. We
hope they will embrace the opportunity
offered.

burglars.

Burglars visited the lumber office OF
Staples u Winship Wednesday night
and took about 800 of money from the
safe. They entered the back door by
breaking in II panel and then opened
the safe, took out the iron chest in side
and carried it into the back room and
broke it open with hammer, and
captured the cash. The only mystery is
how did they open the safe without lcav.
ing some marks of their work, but the
theory must be, the parties either knew
the combination or else Messrs. Staples
~ WinShip left the safe unlocked.
