The condi ton of some of our streets
would indicate an affirmative answer.
Benson papers are beginning to brag
about their base ball club and seem to
think it can get away with any club

best nine in existence out in the first
round.
A new and excellent Remington
Type writer is now in use at the office

business very materially. This Type
writer is the only one in use in our
city.
