NEW BARN WANTED
Place Where Farmers Can Put Their
Teams for q Nominal Charge 40

Some of the business men along
South Front street are agitating the
question of having a barn erected
where the farmers can put their
teams for a nominal sum, say ten
cents. The facilities are at present
very limited, as several Of the barns
formerly used for this purpose have
been destroyed by fire during the
past two years. -.
1t is said that parties stand ready
to take charge of such barn if the
merchants will cooperate, A trifling
yearly subscription would be sufficient
to cause the erection of barn that
would hold a large number of teams,
and with very small charge or no
charge at all it is thought that more
people would come to the city to do
their trading This matter is we'll
worth pushing through. 9Gn- 4

manner. was simply splendid. At

Funk acted a. toastmaster, calling
upon several for brief remarks. and
an~extra hour was spent in pleasant
references Of both political and per-

THE KITCHEN.

l love my cheerful kitchen,
So roomy and so light,
With the cook-stove nicely polished
And the floor scrubbed clean and white,
Though now my floor is painted
And l think it's full as neat,
When take pail of water
And mop it clean and sweet,
And what room is half SO pleasant
So inviting and so free,
As this delightful kitchen
This is just the room for me,
Although some prefer their parlor
Above any other room
Where the lady receives her callers
And entertains her visitors too;
But where the housewife has to be everywhere
She wants cheerful Kitchen
As she has to be mostly there
In her daily occupation;
And what room is half so pleasant
So inviting and 50 free,
As this delightful kitchen,
This is just the room for me.

signs of fire. many fire stones, and a milestone
