Mr.. Jas. E. Davis's cotton house
took FIRE last Thursday night about
Z o'clock, but by prompt effort the
fire was put out Mr.. Davis had just
driven into his yard, when the fame
was seen. He thinks it caught from
the careless handling of matches.

to get any one to take the job of re-

himself do the work for $50. He
proposes doing first class job, and
finishing it this week. That's busi-
ness. Mr.. Cole began work last Tues
day, and will probably finish Friday.
Foreston is bright booming little
town, with an eye to business, and
Mr.. G. NJ. Mason is foremost among
its leading men. He likes to see bus
mess going on with merry hum.
and knowing well that the best way
to make things hum is to sell cheap,
low down, at hard cash, rock bottom
figures, he offers his goods at prices
