i Mr.. James w. Legg has moved his
new stock of drugs. etc, from the Ses-
sions corner to his old stand in the
Elmwood building, The old store has
| been transformed into a most elegant
palace. 1t has been repapered. re-
painted and rearranged. New shelving
and counters of quarter-sawed oak,
highly polished. with glass fronts to the
shelving and glass tops and sides to
counters. Marble bases are around the
counters and office. An elegant pre-
scription department has been arrang-
ed in the rear of the store and hand
some office on the right as you enter.
Large mirrors reflect your image from
different locations in the store. The
soda fountain on the left shows IN
handsomely, and the whole interior is
beautiful. Mr.. Legg has certainly
shown good taste and enterprise in fit
ting up his drug store, and it is quite
creditable.
One Of the greatest drawbacks to the
permanent upbuilding and advance
ment OF this country--and the term is
not meant to apply only locally-is the
migratory habits OF the people. Let it
come bad year and many people want
to sell out ana go West, and if bad
year falls on the West everybody wants
to sell out and go South. Those who
content themselves and stick to any
locality long enough soon. build up to
where life is worth living. The man
who drifts around from pillow to post
buys a piece of land one year and sells
1T out the next, cannot expect to do
much anywhere.
