Louis L. Harris, of Bn'te. srNnt SOW
eral days of this week liz Virginia.
The finest roses, carnation, lilies,
smilax, asparagrass, etc. in Montana,
is grown in Inverness green houses.
The largest shipping trade, the most
artistic boquets. baskets. funerals de-
signs are credited to the propritress,
Mrs. D. J. Knox, Butte, Montana. A
trial order will convince you. 1t
Rev. F. A. Cutler expects to leave
for the east shortly, to attend the gen.
eral conference of his church which
cOnvenes on May /. in Cleveland. Ohio.
Mrs. Cutler will accompany him. Mr..
Cutler has in course of preparation a
lecture on the wild and woody west
with which he will regale the Buck
eyes.
Charles French. according to the
Standard. is visiting the place of his
nativity in New England. Whether
Charlie is posing as a blue abdomened
individual or whether the Butte para
grapher was writing through his sus-
penders, is a matter of conjecture, but
the fact hat Charlie first saw the light
of day in Nevada City is not.
The Ladies Aid society of the Meth
odist church expect to give a literary
entertainment at the church Friday
evening, April "a. A program of more
than usual excellence is in course of
preparation. Refreshments will be
served. A small admission fee will be
charged. The entertainment is given
for the benefit of Rev. Cutler.
j.. H. Vanderbeck contemplates open
ing a brick yard in Virginia as soon as
the weather permits, if the demand for
brick is sufficient. All parties in need
! of brick can further their interests by
communicating with Mr.. Vanderbeck.
There is certainly a need of such an
institution and the protector Of the
enterprise will do a good business.
D. II. Beck expects to make Missoula
his future home. The announcement
will occasion general regret in Madison
county, where Mr.. and Mrs. Beck have
resided many years. The change is
made on account of Mr.. Beck's grow
ing business as general state agent for
the Bankers Life Insurance Company.
Mr.. Beck has long had the Missoula
fever and is interested in a big orchard
in the Bitter Root country.
The road to the Easton is in a deplor-
ably bad condition: SO bad in fact that
it is dangerous to travel over. Acct
dents thereon are almost daily occur
rences, and unless it is repaired speedi-
ly something serious is liable to hap
pen. The road supervisors atten-
ton is respectfully called to this fact.
A MADISONIAN recently made the trip
to the EastOn and has been congratula-
ting himself ever since on his several
narrow escapes.
Ike Boyer, who represents GOOdkind
Bros. of Helena on the road. is at the
Madison House. Ike is a man of re-
sources and he carries them with him.
He is the nan who introduced the
nickle-in-the-slOt machine in Butte. He
had d machine in every public place in
the city and was doing more business
than the California brewery, when the
city council took a hand, put a lisence
of S. per month on each machine and
Ike went out of business.
DR.. Leroy Southmayd returned on
Wednesday, from Helena where he at
tended the annual meeting of the State
Medical Association. The Helena In
dependent states that the doctor called
the attention of the members of the as
ISOLATION to the glaring defects in the
insanity law as applying to remote
counties, such as ours. The association
will probably take steps looking to the
application Of a remedy at the next ses-
sion of the legislature.
