Pure Milk

The business OF the country is
settling into its former groove. Our
gentlemanly driver has returned
from his vacation, the cows in the
pasture switch flies instead OF bull
lets with their tails and the cream is
richer in consequence. We believe
we have satisfied every one OF our
customers who have taken milk from
us and we are in position to sup
ply great many more. The people
who from choice or necessity visited
Waialae during the past two weeks
have had an opportunity to see just
what sort OF diet our stock feeds
upon, and no longer wonder at the
richness of the milk from our dairy.
Our facilities for delivery are the
best. With the exception OF a day
or two early in the late unpleasant
ness our drivers have always been
on time at our customers residences.
We take this opportunity to thank
those who have been patient with us
and to solicit a continuance OF their
patronage. We will be pleased to
fill all orders telephoned to us and
guarantee all milk to be pure and
free from adulteration.

rather for fun than for profit, on the

fish when the light was lowered
close to the bottom of the water.
Owing to the density OF the medium,
the light is in moro than Egyptian

electric light in his hand, there will
suddenly flash out of the blackness

Then a large open eyed, open
mouthed monster will poke his head
in the charmed circle Of light while
the remainder Of his body is shroud-
ed in gloom, and look solemnly on
as though striving to fathom the
mystery. Sometimes, il the man
remains perfectly quiet, the fish will
imperceptibly draw nearer, until al
most within reach; sometimes, after
a careful inspection from a safe dis
lance, he will slowly back away and
disappear. The light thrust in his
face always seems to cause the ut.

yelling is entirely out of his line,

School DisriCt--A Mass Meeting Rsld Last
Night-MsmbsrS of the Legislature
Urged 10 Ac. Promptly. y

That the people of Benwood are

Ex-Mayor Joseph Mahood, and Henry
Riddle and Robert Newton were Vice
Presidents and Charles Schad was made
Secretary.
The object of the meeting was stated
by the President, and then addresses
were made by number OF those present,
and it was demonstrated that there was
thorough unanimity OF sentiment
among this seven hundred and forty
voters of the town upon the subject.
After full and free discussion of the
mdlteT ny d mum cI VI tuo iuOio piOui-
nent of the gentlemen present, resolu-
tions were drafted and adopted, ad-
dressed TO the Marshall county Dele
gates and TO the Senators from the
Second district, asking that their ut
M ost endeavors be given to push through
a bill giving the people OF the town the
benefits of an independent school dis
trict, and these were ordered forwarded
at once TO Charleston. A telegram was
also sent at once TO the Delegates from
Marshall county, advising them of the
meeting and of the action taken by

Office of Mayor Sheppard, and like &C
ton was held by that body, resolu-
ton being passed, addressed TO the Mar
shall county Delegates in the Legisla-

reason to believe their efforts will be
successful, although there is some OPP
position to the bill in other portions OF
Marshall county.
