liable addition to our little village, cTed1t
to the designer and builder, Mr.. ii: L.
Badger OF West Charleston, who has mad
entire charge of the work from start to
finish. The brief allusiOn to Mr.. Badger
work hardly gives him the credlt Wnlcn ne
deserves. And we hope and trust That the
proprietor, Mr.. J. G. Turnbull, will meet
with great success in his venture and that
it will be blessing to the farmers IN thls
vicinity. We understand that ME-. Iurn-
bull is doing large amount OF work IN
this line in other places and is hlghly rec
commended by those who know him. The
fact that he has secured no pledges OF pa
tronage in advance shows that he mas 1altn
in the enterprise. All who are interested
and wish to see the inside of the building
are assured that they will be cordially re-
ceived.
