The eastern part Of town looks like

The eastern part of town looks like a
workshop now as forces OF men are at
work at the rners of Second and Oak
streets and Third and Oak streets on
the fine new residences of j. w. Marker
and D. Z. Cooper These two handsome
homes will be great addition to that
section of town. Mr.. Marker has al
ready completed a barn that looks as
fine as most residences and will, we un-
derstand, like w. j. Bryan occupy 1t as
a residence until his home is completed.
The addition to the Goodale building
on east Nam street occupied by the Up
to- Date Drug Co., has been completed
and the company has filled the addition
al space with large and complete line OF
paints, oils and glass. They have made
much investigation and great efforts to
secure the purest and best line OF pants
in the market and feel sure they have
succeeded. They will also put in ma
chinery to meet the increased demands
for Pepso -Quinine, the sale OF which is
SURPRISING their greatest expectations.
Some person or per, ons on last Sum
day night burglarized the Fair store on
north Main street owned by Wm. War
burg. The miscreants broke window
in the rear OF the building to gain an
entrance and took about $50 worth OF
goods, chiefly composed Of the highest
priced gloves in stock and the finest
pocket knives. So far no trace has been
found that would lead to the detection
of the guilty parties, but they certainly
must have had enough acquaintance
with the stock to know just what they
wanted and where to look for it as Doth-
ing else was disturbed except the money
drawer. The latter was broken open
and a small amount Of change, which
Mr.. Warburg had left there, was taken.
