New Years day was celebrated at
this place with tournament which
was source of much pleasure to
both old and young. The day was
an ideal one; the sun shone bright
and beautiful, and not q cloud sp-
peared. A large crowd Of eager

About l2 o'clock, Mr. J G Ne

with him. The house was sold to

Mr. Carter endeavored to secure an
other store but falled-all being
either occupied or pledged for the

in which to carry on the business.

There is an interesting story back

hand Of: Miss Katherine Cushwa, whose
family was one Of the most prominent

for the first time at q dance at coun-
| try house. and frequently thereafter
he became her escort ~ ! = J; - ..aIa
N The friendship thus begun speedily
ripened into love. Davis proposed and
the young woman was willing, but her
parents could not reconcile themselves

complished daughter marrying q poor
railroad brakeman, and the young
man was sent on his way with 9
broken heart;

Henry G. Davis does not look his so

He 10 more than six feet tall, erect
and straight as in the days Of his
youth. His shoulders are square. 4 He
.is we'll muscled. He has springy
