The display of artistic sewing machine
work on exhibition for this week at the
storeroom west Of the postoffice in the
Clark building is altogether the best
ever made in this city. 1t must be seen
to be at all appreciated for there are
samples of work that defy verbal de-
scription. One large picture, done in
colored silk is so nicely and accurately
shaded that it much more resembles a
perfect painting than it does the work
of any mechanical contrlYance. H. N
Clark the gentlemanly general agent
for the Singer Sewing Machine Co. as
sisted by j. F. Crum the agent for this
district will take pleasure in showing
all work and the merits of their ma
chimes. Mr.. Crum will remain next
week for the purpose of giving instruct
ions to those who purchase machines of
him.
Work was begun Monday on the
altera tons and addition to j. Schreiner
e. Sons store. When the work
is completed their store will present
an entirely new appearance, both on
exterior snd interior. The partition in
the first story will be removed. thus
widening the store room to the full
width of the building. A ware house
and grocery apartment will be erected
at the rear. Messrs. Schreiner q Sons
have always enjoyed the distinction of
running a neatly kept and attractive
store, but when the improvements
begun. are completed, with the advan-
tages which new shelving and plate
glass front will facilitate for display pur-
poses, that it will be doubly attractive
and one of the most complete in all its
appointments, is a fore going con-
clusion.
One of the pleasantest gatherings in
the city this season was that given by
the Misses Crosby in honor of her sister
Mrs Leroy Judd, who resides at HAYES
City, Kansas. A profusion of lovely
flowers adorned the rooms as well as
the attractively arranged tables spread
with the choicest delicacjes which were
served to about fifty guests. The day
was one of the few perfect ones
of the year, it seemed like a day
of June that lingering behind its fellows
tried to make genial amends for losing
its place in the months. Fun and
mirth held sway until a reasonably late
hour warned the guests that farewells
were to be gwen to Mrs. Judd. The
hearty expressions of enjoyment ten
dered to the entertainers left no doubt
in their hearts that they had kindly
helped their friends to an unusually
pleasant meeting.
AT the meeting held in the City Hail
last Thursday for the purpose of con-
siderng the ACCESSIBILITY of calling q
special election 10 decide whether oil
not the city shall be bonded for ten
thousand dollars to be used in macada-
MIXING the streets, it was decided by q
good majority to call such election.
Every one seemed to be in favor oil
good roads and in favor of permanent
~ improving our streets, but there was
variety of opinion expressed as to the
method Of raising and expanding the
money. This was proper and to be
expected. Every one is entitled to Q
hearing and in multitude of counsel
it is presumed that there is safety. We
trust that the taxpayers OF the city will
candidly and fairly consider the matter
before the election, having n view not
only the present urgent needs Of oul
town and its people, bLt also for its
future progress and welfare.
