Il WOrkmen have broken ground on
u the south side of the square for Young
& Clark's new building, and work will
be pushed as rapidly as possible. The
building will be OF stone and brick, 70
feet 10 inches by 81 feet 6 inches, and
i full two stories high. Richards, La
kin & Ireland are busy with the insu-
rance adjuster just now, but will prob
ably be able to make some definite ar
engagements next week.
Now we come to the front with one
of the biggest things on deck In shape
of w. J. AndersOn's Perfect Weather
Strip, for the exclusion of all rain,
snow, wind and dust; making it per-
fectly air tight underneath your doors
with cast iron threshold and adjustable
strip. Now for a few days, all persons
wanting these strips can see them at
the Leland Hotel. Represented by
Black & Ausmus.
We neglected to mention last week
] the formation of a Library Association.
The membership now numbers some
thing over twenty-five persons, and
has seventy books at its disposal.
GOodhue & Evans are librarians. The
membership fee is so cents and the
payment of it entities one to book
which he can hold three weeks or
which he may return and exchange
for an other at any time.
The lola REGISTER and Humboldt
Union are "makiug game" Of the edi-
tor of the Humboldt Inter State, II.
ID. Smith, by elevating him to the skies
as a suitable person for the Judgeship
in this district. The fact is that H. ID.
Smith is a demented fellow, formerly
a lawyer, who, if we are not mistaken,
is subject to spells of mental aberra-
ton, and i'm his paper changes about
like yane on a spire, getting on all
sides of everything within the space of
a few months. Boys, it is heartless
imposition to treat an esteemed CO.
temporary that way, just because his
name is Smith and you fear his infiu-
ence.-FrcdOaia Citizen.
Why can't we have an old soldiers
reunion at lola sometime this fall?
There sre about six hundred old SOL
diers i'm the county, who with their
families would make very respecta-
BILE crowd in point of numbers, while
sufficient arrangements could be made
for their entertainment with very little
trouble. Riverside park could be used
as a picnic ground during the day, and
the crowd could be entertained by
speeches and music in the public
square in the evening. There are
three G. A. r. posts in the county,
and if they would all unite, there is no
doubt they could make such reunion
an entirely pleasant and successful af-
fair. Can we get second to the mo-
ton?
The friends of Mrs. G.. A. Harris |
were very much panied to learn of her
death, at o'clock yesterday morning.
She had been i'll but short time, and
although the fever with which she
was suffering was known to be quite
serious, it was hoped that che would be
able to resist it. All remedies and
care proved unavailing, however, and
she grew steadily worse until her death.
The ease is rendered peculiarly sad by
the fact that the deceased was in the
very. bloom Of youth and had been
married but four or five weeks since.
The remains will be taken from the
residence this morning at s o'clock for
in the Humboldt cemetery. |
Services will be held in the Christian
church at Humboldt at 10 O'Clock.
