lighted at meeting Aunt Grace an
old colored woman, who had been his

bly, expressed her JOY over her Miss

ent a student at Mercer University, de-

A POPULAR HACK LINE.
Meinecke e. Wendt Have One of the
Best Businesses in the City.

Meineke & Wendt have one of the
most popular hack lines in the city
Their carriages are always in demand
because the service they extend to
could be asked for.
In addition to their hack line
NeinecICe & Wendt are also the pro-
orietors of a fourisfing baggage and
express business. Throughout the
city it is considered they are the
leaders in this particular field. In
ibis branch of their business prompt
delivery" is their motto; they're the
people to engage il you want goods
delivered with care and on schedule
line.
\ speciality i connection with their
hack line is that they are in q position
to furnish patrons with hacks at al
hours. They appreciate and fill ord
ers during any hour out of the twenty
four. They conduct a hack line that
is always ready and in shape to dc
business, as it were.
Some hack lines not a hundred miles
from Walla Walla nave a reputation
for charging in a way that eclipses
anything ever attempted by the ia
nous six hundred.
But when you ride in a Meinecke &
Wendt hack you run no danger of be-
ing overcharged. The firm, with the
idea of building up a substantial bust
ness in this city with the best people
maintains a reasonable tariff and to
use one of their hacks is not very ex-
pensive. Inside the city limits the
hack fare is only % cents; trunks are
also hauled by their baggage wagons
for the same moderate sum.
