Judge Towner for U. S. Judge.

There is quite contest among the re.
publicans for the office of United States
Circuit Judge, made vacant by the
the death of Judge Woolson. At the
present time it looks very much as if
Judge H. M. Towner, Of Corning, would
receive the appointment. He has a
strong following and the unanimous en-.
dorsement of the entire bar of the eighth
district. The, office will Of course be
filled by republican and to our mind
Judge Towner is by far the most able
lawyer who has been mentioned in con.
nection with the Office. He has served
most acceptably as Judge of the District
court, and made record as fair and
impartial judge in the hundreds of cases
which have been tried before HIM. The
people of the district are vitality interest.
ed as to who is appointed Judge, as
the appointment Is for life. If Judge
Towner is selected the people will have
the same rights and privileges as the
corporations and railroads. No man in
the state could be named who would
be more satisfactory to all the people,
and We sincerely hope that Judge Tow.
ner will be ;honored with the appoint
ment,

THE
BEE
HIVE
A New Store Under a
New Name.
A LARGE BRICK STORE NOW.
A Remarkable Business Which is
Growing Very Rapidly.

A little over two years ago, August
5, 1897, Mr.. Frank Clark opened little
grocery store in the frame building on
the east side of the square, just north
of Clark's Mill. AT the time many
wondered how he could do business in
such location and predicted that the
venture would be a failure. But he has
surprised everybody with the amount
of business he has done. From the day
he commenced business under the name
of the Leon Cash Grocery he has been
doing nice business. Each month saw
an increase in trade, and he gradually
added other lines to his grocery stock,
putting in boots and shoes, dry goods,
and notions.
As the business increased the need of
more room became apparent and at last
contract was made with j. I'll. Evans
for the erection of double two story
brick business house on the site OF his
two frame buildings, one of which was
occupied by the Leon Cash Grocery.
| The old buildings were moved out into
the street and the work was commenced.
On Monday the stock of the Leon Cash
Grocery was moved into the handsome
new store building. With the change
of buildings was also change of names
and hereafter the store will be known
as the Bee Hiye.
Their new store is double room
36x7O feet, with high ceilings. 1t is
fitted up specially for a general depart
ment store. The south side is devoted
to the boot and shoe department. In
the center of the room there is a row
of double shelving, with a horse shoe
counter extending nearly the length OF
the room. This department is devoted
to underwear, hosiery and notions.
. The north size is the dry goods depart
ment, embracing staple and fancy dry
goods, and piece goods of all kinds.
The grocery department occupies the
entire east side.
Two mammoth display windows
l2xl5 feet, feet deep, are on each side
of the double doors, and afford mag
niticent place to display goods.
i The new Bee Hive is indeed busy
place five clerks being employed, while
two years ago MIR. Clark was proprietor
and sole clerk 1t is destined to be a
popular trading place where customers
can get anything they desire. All
goods are bought and sold for cash.
They are bought as bargains and the
customers of the Bee Hive get bargains
when they buy them.
A fine new delivery wagon bearing
the name Bee Hive is being used, aid
the Bee Hive now has telephone con
nections, their number being 81.
The growth of this business has been
remarkable and attests the business
ability and hustling qualities of Frank
Clark. 1t is a pleasure to trade with
him and he enjoys the patronage anG
friendship of hundreds Of our bes
people both in Leon and the country
The Bee Hive now ranks as one Of ou
leading business houses. Call and SCI
them in their new home.
