Mr.. o. d. Owen reports an increase in
his sales of $4,000 during the past four

large number of families it would be a
grand thing for the village. The business
men of the place should be on the lookout
for something of this kind. The village
might offer some inducements which would
bring some manufacturing company here
and though the first cost would be felt it
would pay we'll in the end.
