Party please return to this Office.
We paid W. T, Gentry's job printing
office Il visit yesterday. Will has
nice Office and seems to be doing well.
He was formerly with THE COMET.
There were two car loads of moving
machines on the cars yesterday to be
shipped up the Narrow Gauge. 1t
seems that there must be quite a grass
growing section up that way.
AS little as may have been said
about it, yesterday was quite showery.
1t is possible that the boys of the fire
department took it to be return of
the waters from their test OF the new
hose.
The w. G. r. U. will meet Thurs.
day, the 9th, at 3 p. m. AS the papers
giving the readings for Mothers
Meetings" have not yet arrived, there
will be short talk on the early days of
the Crusade or the origin of the w. G.
T. u.
Perhaps few OF our people have yet
fully realized the fact THE COMET now
goes glimmering by steam. We have
real coy little engine, and the hand
force has been eliminated. Our press
man, John, just pulls the throttle and
let the thing go gallagher"
J. M. Erwin's force of hands are now
grading on Cherry street, while A. r.
Wing, who took the contract for grad
ng New and others streets, has a large
force of hands on Second Avenue in
the Wilder addition, and will push the
work of grading to completion.
The advertising space proposed by
the Press was awarded to w. NJ. Chris
tan and Frank d. Love as the most
liberal merchant subscribers to the
steel plant fund. These gentlemen
contributed equal amounts, and the
space will therefore be divided equally
between the two.
The lumber interests along the E.
I. & w. N. G. railroad seem to in
crease, as every day brings cars loaded
with fine quality of poplar The ore
shipments. are not less marked. The
furnaces at Chattanooga, Southwestern
Virginia and other points draw on the
Cranberry deposits.
The Connecticut Land Company
are very diligent in the work of i'm
proving their addition. The surface
under the great oaks is being made
clean and nice the streets are receiv-
ing the proper grading, and altogether
the addition is taking on very
spendid garb of improvements. The
Connecticut Land Company have no
boasts to make, but their silence il
more powerful than q thousand
tongues. Ii you go to their addition
they will show you property altogether
lovely, easy OF access by an electric
railway system and more to be desired
han fine gold.
There is more catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable
For great many years doctors pro
nounced it q local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constant
~ failing to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incurable. Science ha
proven catarrh to be constitutions
disease, and therefore requires consti
tutional treatment, Halls Catarrl
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Chene.

tutional cure on the market. 1t i
