Dame rumor is busy respecting GER
tain impending changes in one or
more of our leading business houses.
Changes which will probably mater
iplize during the current week, but of
which it would be premature to give
particulars at present.
Mrs. Daniels came in from Garnet
Saturday evening on a visit to her
sister, Mrs. Martin, returning on the
"Sun Cure Monday afternoon.
The town council at it's last meeting
resolved that it would grant no license
for the sale Of Intoxicating liquors in
the business part of the Main street.
| For this action the council merits and
will have the unqualified approval and
support of property owners and respect
able residents as will be shown at the
coming election.

; matter with the old ones. They ar
all right. For the short time the

| ,narkably we'll. Give them elbo.
room and cheer them with encourage
ment and the town will prosper.
On every hand one cannot but no
tice improvement since the incorpora
, ton of the town. Dogs are scarce
there are no stray horses or cattl
, breaking our gate latches and clumsil
pruning our fruit trees. But most M
ticeable of all is the great change i
the conduct of the boys and youth
who were previously so ''tough.
Awed by the soldierly bearing and d,
termined countenance of our efiicier
marshal, they have become so NEE
y and mild that, to borrow slang e,
). preston, butter would not melt i
a their mouths. Curfew rings and tt
boys run for well they know that Lux
S will call their bluff every time.
