Brunson as far as Chicago, and from
there she goes to Hebron, Ind, to visit
relatives there.
W. III. Pedicord has combined BUSH
ness with pleasure and taken trip
into Illinois to be gone a few weeks.
His business here has been left in
charge of Thos Swart, who will be
happy to wait upon patrons of the
shop until Mr.. Pedicord's return. A
good line of harness and saddler's
stock is on hand and will be disposed
of as cheap as the times and quality of
goods will warrant If you are in need
of a horse blanket, lap robes or first
class harness call on Mr. Swart.
VIM. Linton has commenced building
new blacksmith shop on the old site
north of the depot and will be ready
for customers in a few days.
Joe Stephens, the barber, has bought
the shop property he now occupies of
John Smith
James Tenant is now prepared to do

to run another restaurant here in few
days, and perhaps start blacksmith

local agency for tho sale of the Davis
break-pin pillow eleyis and three horse

lery and postofiice room are enclosed.
When finished he viii have pleas anter
location than the old one.
Sam Clifford has taken advantage of
his recent 'lay-ofI." and last week took
a run into headquarters to see if he
couldn't either buy the ''darned'' old
road or get a contract for building the
much-talked-of extension to the narrow
gauge from Woodman to Millville. In
the meantime MIR. Ballard has been
taken from his Milwaukee run to fill
the run vacated by Clifford ID. S.
Lemorn also takes charge of the brakes
now IN the absence of w. G. Brown.
Dave was heard to say that they got
more dispatches asking why they were
so long behind time the first two days
of his run than he ever got before
He says perhaps Swineford knows that
there is such a place as Woodman to
get up out of, but he doesn't believe
God ever heard of the place. Both
Clifford and Brown are very careful and
accommodating railroad men and it is
hoped by all their friends that they may
get back on the run again soon. The
wreck was not as much their fault as
was at first reported.
Rev. VIM. Campbell. the new United

leave its victims.

which used to run on the narrow gauge
was sent in to the shops for new coat
of paint and to receive other repairs.
Mrs. Katie McReynolds has fully re-
covered from her illness of two weeks

notion of adding an extra man if the
trade keeps on increasing as in the past.
Weber's new jewelers. safe has ar

knows they are safe.
