sunny tempered men, and consti

and bred in our midst, he is
thoroughly known and holds the
respect of the community. He
established his large business five
years ago and by dint of uninter-
rupted application has forged
ahead till now demands are such
that he has decided to erect new
stables, modern in every par
ticular, equipped with horses and
conveyances that will make the es-
tablishment up-to-date. In 1899
he married Miss Mary Brister,
and is the father of two of the
