NEAR THE A. S. DEPOT

Build on 1t.

Mr.. j. n. Huffman the grocer.
located on Main street opposite
the City Hotel. has purchased the
lot belonging to Blaekmon Bros.
which is at present occupied by the
Winfield Barber Shop. and will
build a two story brick house on
it for his use as a grocery store.
He owns the frame building he
now occupies and will probably
remodle it and use it for a resi-
decne when he gets the new brick
house completed.
Mr.. Huffman has faith in the
future of Winnfield.and is of the
opinion that the property here is
easier to purchase now than it
will ever be again, hence. he has
invested in two good lots which
join and consequently has enough
land now to give him all the room
needed for his business and a resi-
dence. He is obliged to build in
order to have a house large
en- ough and suitable for his busi-
ness. and has decided to build one
that will be lasting. The con-
tract has not been let rs yet, but
it is certain that brick house will
be ~ on the lot as Mr.. Huffman
says he wants a good house and
will be satisfied with nothing but
a bri TX.
Now that the idea of building
brick houses has struck our people
it would good idea for some one
to put in a brick plant here.
The expense of getting brick here
is too great when compared with
the quality of brick that can
be made here. Right now is the
time to start the manufacture of
brick.

against her and she was led to be-
lieve that her life was in danger.
She expressed to the postofficc
department a desire to do so but
when the facts were developed
the department declined to per-
NIT her to resign. Feeling over
the matter became bitter and as
Mrs. Cox felt that she could not
remain in the Office with safety to
herself the Office was closed. the
government refusing to make any
other arrangement. For long
time the people of Inaianola have
been receiving their mail from
Greenville, a town twenty-five
miles distant from lndianoia.

to bring them the mail from
Greenville. For some time an
arrangement has been making
