Usual amount Of quarterly conference
business transacted. J. 5. Duflie was

The ether evening DR. Howell in
vited us to take ride behind his PAGER
Texas Fannie" We climbed in
along side of the good-natured Doc
and it was but minute when we
went sailing down the street at
a 30 gait leaving whatever we co ne
in contact with far behind, while the
said PAGER looked like huge flying
squirrel in harness. Doc says she
viii take the money in the races to-
morrow.
we ara informed that a man not
many miles west of here with his two
sons and son-in-law, raked. drawed
and stacked field of hay on Sunday
last. We think that II this man has
nst respect enough for himself, his
family, the neighbogh0od and the
Lords day, to do his work on week
days, instead of laying around the
village when he ought to be al home
to work. the law ought to be carried
out to the letter In his case.
We notice Dir. Robt. Menerey
has completed his new house on Me-
chanic Street and moved into the same
IL is a we'll finished house in every
branch of mechanical skill. The
joiner work Is first-class and shows
great taste and workmanship for Mr..
5. Baker the builder. The mason
work was done by Ernst Keok and it
is credit to him. Among the rest
comes the painting which was dono by
ii. s. Wait our town painter. The
outside of the building is painted q
white with green shutters.
The steps are painted on the raisers
and sides beautiful granite stone, the
steps a nice buff. On entering the
kitchen we find il grained light oak
trimmed with walnut moulding and
the buttery light stone color. Pass
ing from there into the dining room
We find it grained birdseye maple
trimmed with maple root, and the
porch dark oak with black walnut
Passing on into the parlor
it is painted gloss or china white and
vanished with Demar varnish which
makes il a. white and dazzling as any
thing we have ever seen. Mr. Menerey
showed great taste and judgment in
the whole plan of his house, especially
the cellar, which we nearly forget to
1t Is lathed and plastered,
u water lime floor In 1t and splendid
clstsrn In one end Mr.. Menerey says
"what does O few dollars signify, In
building house, for TO get coed me-
chanies." Better to give good prices
and get good men.
p. S. We would advise those wish
ing first-class painting done to consult
Mr. Wait before letting their painting
to anybody else, as he is No me-
chanic as well as safe man 10 deal
