AS an example Of how interest grows:
A small manufacturing establishment
Of this city. which started many
years ago, did not do a prosperous bust
ness at the start, and about twenty-one
years ago borrowed $4,000. The debt
was carried from year 10 year. For the
past two or three years ii has been
doing good business and making money.
and a short time ago paid off the $4,000
borrowed twenty-one years before.
The note. with interest, amounted TO a
little over $1,000. If man has money
to loan, and can keep ii loaned, judging
from this case, he need not hunt for any
gold mines In order to get rich.-Rich-

The large Touring mill of r. c. New

! ti0neer Frank Snyder Tuesday for $1,000.

court report the sale, which. 1t is be-

are numerous creditors. 1t is believed
that Judge Hord will not approve of the

Anna Rabe. He put up at the st.
Charles hotel and seemed to be doing a
fouTishng business. He was fond of
sport and mixed freely with our sport

ago he walked down the street about s
