Observation-Disclosures Friday
morning while engaged at some du-
ty in our place of business, our ear
was caught with heavy whistle,
and at once we recognized the ia
miliar whistle of the elegant steam
err Hudson. Shortly after landing
we saw a cab drive up to the resi-
dence of Mr.. Benjamin Franklin,
and soon alighted therefrom John
and Nina to whom we extend our
most hearty congratulations. Mrs.
John Franklin, nee Nina Timms,
and her husband were born and
raised in Point Pleasant, and all VIC
can say for them is, the town never
produced better or more popular
young people, and along with our
congratulations you have the best
wishes of your many, many friends

Advancement and improvement
in the interior counties of this State
are even more marked than in the
centres of population throughout
the State. A dozen counties within
the past five years have erected
handsome and costly public build
ings, and now comes Randolph to
the front with a s32, 900 courthouse.
The structure is modern in architec-
ture aud is fitted with all the con-
veniences and improvements used
in modern buildings. The progress
of the iron horse to the interior is
followed by the spirit of enterprise
and improvement on every side.
Yes, 1 buy from Edwards as his

While communities all around us
are putting down test wells for gas
and oil, we are sitting idly by and
allowing them to attract people to
their communities. That gas and
oil can be found in this section in
paying quantities, is generally be-
lieved by all. What we want is en-
terprise enough to put down test
we'll. If gas was found in sufficient
quantities, it would be the making
of the town, and all the croakers
and old fogies in this place could
not retard its prosperity.
Remember that Edwards keeps
everything in the building line,
and prices that will be surprising
to you.
