The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1895-10-12

One day this week a gentleman re-
quested us to advertize some produce
that he had for sale, but as he forgot
that newspapers require pay for adver-
tisments we have forgotten the gentle
mans name and just what kind OF pro- /,
duce he wants TO sell. We are sorry
but we can't help that defective memory
Of ours.
L. NJ. Allen and family arrived from
Westfall Ore. to locate permanently in
the Payette valley. Mr.. Allen visited
Emmett in July and was very favorably
impressed with the natural advantages
OF the valley as well as with our excel
lenrpublic schools, so much so that he
at once decided 10 come here to reside
e. Il. Woodwork the eentlemanly
representative OF the Boise Butte X. r.
who visited Emmett during the week
left pleasant impression on the people
Of the town. He is pleasant gentle
man and the few words be had to say
on the railroad proposition had a true
business ring about them that was en-
couraging. We all hope to see him visit
Emmett again in the not distant fu-
ture in palace car.
The citizens Of Emmett should or
ganize Literary Society this winter.
The long wIntee evenings are coming
when every one will have some leasure
time and IL would be not only pleasant
way to pass one evening each week but
It would be profitable to both old and
young. good live Literary is one Of
the best institutions ever carried on in
community, and as an educator is
only second TO the public school
A suit has been begun IN the district
court by W. +. Jermaine against F. l..

partnership existing between them.
The parties own the custom mill al

er to keep the mill running.-Statesman.
r NJ. Morton and wife expect to
leave Monday for their old home IL
Greencastle Mo. They have been resi-
dents Of this vicinity for the last foul
years and their many friends regret e
see them leave the neighborhood. w,
are glad to be able to state however thai
it is not certain that they will re
main permanently in the east. The Pay

at some time in the future. Bob die

; them to the old home.
The Emmett schools are in
hourishing condition. Something owe

Why don't some of our enterprisin
