Ed Wilhelm, the jeweler. changed
his business location during the week,
having removed to the Hammond
building. two doors above the Mail
Office Mr.. Wilhelm's family will oc-
cupy a portion of the house, while the
front part has been fitted up for a
store and repair shop. The old stand
with the Campbell Drug Co. proved
altogether too small for Mr.. Wilhelm s
steadily increasing business, while his
present stand is roomy and exactly
adapted for his purpose, being also
in a better locality.
Among the fishermen who re-
turned with empty baskets Sunday
evening we noticed Messrs. R. p Par
vim and CT. S. Williams. Last Sunday

kind providence interCeded for them
when Dick Parvin and Grant Williams
called The respite. however, is until
next Sunday only and there is no tell
ing how many of the tribe that es-
caned last Sunday will be left to tell
the story of the Ash that never came

The southern portion Of the mill
at the Granite Bimetallic Con. Co. s
works, consisting fifty stamps. has
been started and is now running in a
satisfactory manner. The northern
part Of the mill has been shut down
and is receiving thorough overhaul
ing. During the long shutdown the
timbeTs and bolts have become loosened
and it was found necessary to replace
good many by new material, put in
new foundations for the mortars in
several places and make other repairs
before it will be III frst-class running

ty bought the old schO | property and
remodeled the building for court
house, they evidently overlooked the
fact that by virtue of this purchase

Granite is. no doubt, the only county
in the state which does not display the
nations tanner over the court house
on gala occasions and national holi-
days. The flag staff mentioned is
about the best one in the vicinity and
if properly placed in the front yard,
equipped with halyards and the stars
and stripes, to be hoisted on national
holidays, it would look better than at
its present place Of abode.

During the four or five years just past
he has made his regular trips to the
