New Book Blndery.

We are pleased to chronicle the fact
that Rock Island now has first class
book binding and blank book manufact>
DRY, which has facilities for turning out
work in the best style known to the art
The firm consists of Mr. VIM. Don and
F. P. Hadsell, the firm name being Don
& Hadsell, both of whom are well and
favorably known to our citizens. Mr..
Don was for many years foreman of
Champions bindery and all who have had
work done under mis- supervision well
know that it was always up to the highest
standard. Mr.. Hadsell attends principal
to soliciting orders for work and in this
capacity he will undoubtedly keep the
establishment booming. If you want
your binding done in reliable manner,
give it to the new firm. Besides being
manufacturers of blank books they are
also dealing in all kinds of blank books,
wrapping paper, paper bags, stationery,
Irvine and paper boxes. Give the new
firm a trial and you will never regret it j..

Some time ago clothing store in this
city placed 6 ,239 peas in a jar and offered
as prize silver watch to the customer

tanned in the jar. Guy Bowman, son of
Deputy Circuit Clerk Bowman, and a
faithful carrier of the ARGUS, guessed
that the jar contained 5000. So did
Henry Yeager, boy employed at Nc
Csbe's store. The boys being tied on
their guess will have to throw dice to see
which one gets the watch. Robert Knight,
of Coal Valley, and John Kneeburg, OF
Moline are tied at guessing the number
of peas in the jar that contained S,345

suit of clothes. A. johnson, of Moline,

guessed at the jar containing 10,SO0, and
placed the number at 1000.
