ANDALE NOTES.

/ Az Lie 6AAsos Dony A@.oAS-
our little town is being rapidly filed
up since we have been bIest with this
genial spring weather. Houses are
going up in every part of town, both
resident and business, especially the
former. There are twenty buildings
at present date under contract or be-
| ing constructed. Work has not yet
commenced on the Mentor mans
1915 600 ho<el." By the way the
Mentor is little off in its figures, as
in many other things. We are not
going to have a $4,000 hotel for
while yet, but think we can get along
with one of more modest pretentions
for few monts. A $4,000 hotel will
do for this year.
Our merchants are all doing good
business and are drawing large trade
from the vicinity of some of the older
towns.
Prof. Tice, the grocery man, is soon
going TO build larger luilding, the
room he is occupying at present being
too small for his increasing business.
Clarence Whitbeck, formerly of
your city, is proving himself to be a
business man Of the first class, and is
getting his share of the trade. He is
assisted by our genial township clerk,
Z. o. Sides.
Anderson Bros. opened their bank
ing, loan, real estate and insurance
house recently. l.. G. Fouquet moved
into his new building about a week
since. Mr.. Fouguet is one of our old
est settlers, having settled in this
county about fifteen years ago. He
has by far the finest building in town,
it is creditable alike to the owner, the
town. and The builder. Lee was one
Of our model farmers, and we hope he
may be eminently successful in the
profession he has now chosen.
Pete Rorges carries the largest stock
at present af any of our merchants.
He is also an old timer, and is well and
favorably known in this community.
lie has valuable assistant in Miss
Minnie Mitchell, who presldes over the
ladies department,
The furniture line is ably represent
ed by Jewell & Smith. whose stock
cannot be excelled by any retail house
in the county.
Burris Bros. are well equippe d in
the hardware and implement bust
ness. They are well known old resi-
dents here, are young men who, we
think, will be successful.
Mr.. Mueller, first-class workman,
has just opened out with a well as.
sorted stock of harness and sadlery IN
his new building.
A young man from your city whose
name | have forgotten, will bring in a
full stock of drugs next week. His
house is nearly ready for their recep-
ton.
Carr & Price of Conway Springs,
succeeded J. w. Dale in the livery
barn. They are doing a thriving bus
mess.
We have two lumber yards, one
owned by OLIVER Bros, and the other
by Capt. Carey. Their names are suf-
iicient guarantee to show that our in
terests will not suffer in that line.
Howard Sowle.is the sole grain and
coal dealer of An Dale, but until the
strike terminates he will be able to
carry on the business alone.
Mr.. Mayberry is buying hogs and
cattle. ana his shipments causes some
of the people in the little village north
west of us TO be envious. Now, by
the way the An Dalians entertain none
but the kindest feelings for the people
of our neighbOring towns of Mt. Hope
and Colwich, although the latter have
continued to throw dirt at us since
our town was first started, more es-
pecial!y the editor of the little insig-
nificant sheet at Mt. Hope, which has
lost no opportunity to throw some
dirty slur on our town or its people.
But we will survive their abuse. We
are inclined TO believe in the doctrine
of the Survival of the fittest."
think l have in this letter given a
short notice of all of our business men,
and in my next | will mention some
good openings for some thorough bus
iness or professional men at this place.
