are all said to be lady singers from city
churches. Mr.. Charles w. Westervelt
is the present proprietor of the old and
popular "Pneland Park House." now
called "The Pines" He has over one
hundred boarders and is proving himself
a skilful manager of the boarding house

and Mr.. Fleming has for several years
had many customers from the city.
This town is full of boomers-men who
are trying to push tie town along and
keep it in the public eye. They deserve
credit and the recent Fourth of July
demonstration is owing to them and
their sprint of push. The particular

desire to place in the public school a
handsome piano. Among the foremost
men were DR.. A. T. Applegate, Charles

B. d. Conover, A. Dunfee, Ex-Free-

West, Frank Laird, George Vanden-

this the biggest thing in the history of
the town and they succeeded. Reliable
