On Saturday, Oct. 5, 1896, Mrs.
L, II. Wright will open for the in
spection of the ladies, a new stock Of
all the latest styles Of millinery, and
novelties. These goods are fresh
from the Chicago market and will be
of the latest styles, and sold at low
prices.
We understand that the ladies'
are organizing a literary club, to study
topics of interest, one of which is
"The Subsection of Woman" If eli

any new method discovered, count us
in.

graph of probably the largest water

along side of it stands the man whose
industry produced it. The melon wat
raised by l. I. Williams of Solomon

large as some men, is by no means {
dwarf, is in the picture represented

to Just below his shoulder. The pic
ture will be sent east to the milhoI
club, and as photography does not li'
