Ship that Pass IN the Night.

Ships are not the only things
that pass in the night. Sometimes
it is trunks, board bills, lumber
bills, lease obligations, labor bills,
and etc. So it was this last week,
when the happy little family OF
Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. Galloway and
two charming little daughters, the
latter between eight and twelve
years of age, quietly folded their
family trunk and under the shades
of night stole away to parts I'M
known.
Mrs. Galloway is a. ''hustler.'
She could sell sEgold brick The
family arrived here a short while
ago, stopping at one of our hotels.
i site was selected for large adj
vertising sign board. It happened
to be the lot of Mrs. n. 2. Willard,
on the corner of Main street and
Railroad Avenue, and a lease
for one year was agreed upon at
rental of ten dollars. Lumber was
then purchased of Messrs. Blanchet
& Dupre; draymen were engaged
and the lumber transferred to the
lot; carpenters were employed and
soon the mammoth proportions OF
the board began to stretch itself
along Railroad Avenue. When
| ever anyone asked for money, the
dame, who seemed to preside over
all the affairs would request that
the creditor "wait till the com
pletion of the temple" when she
could make her collections and
pay all bills.
The board completed, Mr.. Gallo
way, commenced putting the signs
into the twelve panneled compart
ments. The work moved smoothly
on and last Saturday afternoon al
: was finished.
