A Great Load.

Not since 1901, when the BIG
cotton load of forty bales was
driven triumphantly into town by
EasterIing and May, has there
been such an interest in teams"
as was manifest on our streets
this morning.
Visions of the MidwayofChicago,

Trail at Portland, loomed up
brightly, when at about 10 this
morning Ebert Lovell's eight
mule heavy road wagon, from
Fair River, hove in sight, bearing
aloft in pyramidal beauty IS la
dies of Lincoln county. This
great load of feminine loveliness
including smiles, fans, parasoIs
and fiuttering lingerie, was sur
mounted by crimson canopy and
was further decorated with United
States flags, which gave to the
novel picture real zest as we'll as
festive appearance. Cheer after
cheer rent the air and added en-
thuslasm to the thermometer,
mounting rapidly higher and
higher above the 90's, at each turn
of the eight great wheels that sup
ported the living cargo. The
wagon was about forty feet long
and covered the entire front Of
the postofice building when sta
tionary.
1t is needless to state to our
numerous readers, who studiously
peruse our big ads, that the above
unparalleled effort was made in
the interest of the $40 Prize in

Commercial Bank Changes Its Building
Plans.

Fl4IbSs
The Commercial Bank closed a
deal last week with Mrs. VIM. S.
Hoskins for the corner now occu-
pied by Maurice Mendle, Thomas
Grant and the Martin Drug Co.,
and will soon begin the erection
thereon of handsome two-story
pressed brick and stone building
with plate glass windows, on the
lot thus secured, which will be
65x55 feet. The building will be
constructed with a view to max
ing it the permanent home of the
Commercial and will be supplied
with all needed furniture and fix
lures for the convenience of che
Bank and it's patrons. A store
room on the ground floor will be
occupied by Maurice Mendle, and
the second story will be divided
into offices.
As a result of this change in the
Commercials plans. instead of
having two new bank buildings
side by side on the west side of
Railroad Avenue, Brookhaven's
Banks will front each other on di-
rectly opposite corners, with the
tracks of the |. G. Railroad be-
tween, and each will be ON one o.
the best business corners in the

The Governor BOrrOWs Another $780,
600 for State Purposes.

The governor has borrowed an
additional 100000 from one of
the local banking institutions to
meet the current expenses of the
State government. The sum is
borrowed under the provisions of
the act passed at the last session
of the legislature authorizing the
governor to float a loan of $780,
900, or so much thereof as may be
necessary, to meet any deficit that
may occur during the present
year. The governor has borrow
ed 5000, 1000 under this act, and
Treasurer Miller stated today that
the vaults of the treasury now
contain about 100000. Thus
far the governor has not found it
necessary to borrow any money
for the State Board of Health, as
he is authorized to do under the
Legislative referendum, rnaiori-
ty of the members having stated
that they would be willing to vote
for an appropriation leinbursing
any sum it may be necessary to
borrow for quarantine expenses.

CHANGES in Business Stands,

The decision of the Commercial
to build on the Hoskins or Men
die Corner instead of by the side
of the Bank Of Brookhaven, no.
tice of which is made elsewhere,
has led to change Of business
stands on the part of several 9th
ers. Most, if not all of these are
enumerated below:
The building now occupied by
the Martin Drug Co. and j.. D.
Deals Restaurant will be moved
nearer the Commercial Hotel, TAX
ing up the room of Mrs. Berger's
stand, divided into two store
rooms and be occupied -one by
Maurice MendIe and the other by
Thos. Grant. Mrs. Berger will
retire from business, the Martin
Drug Co. will move across to the
West side of the Railroad to the
Lucich Building, between the 7.
H. Perkins Furniture Go. and
Days Barber shop, and Deal's
Restaurant Will he moved next
door to the postoffice in the Bag
gett Building, occupied for some
time past by W. W. Waldrop as a
barber shop. Maurice Mendle and
Tom Grant have to move because
the places now occupied by them
will be torn down to make room
for the new bank building.
On the West side of Railroad
Avenue some changes will also
soon occur. The New York Rack
ct Store will continue to occupy
its old stand as a result of the
Commercials change of plans;
but the store next door, lately
bought by the Commercial Bank
from Hyman Zwirn, will he oc-
cupied as soon as he vacates by
the Messrs. Abrams Bros, and the
Priebatsch Building on Cherokee
street, so long occupied by
Abrams Bros, is to be utilized
soon by the Messrs. Priebatcsh
and Mr.. NJ. Greenwood as a cash
store, separate from the general
merchandise business carried on
for so many years under the firm
