firm carries feed and wood aside from
the machinery

office building with living room at
tachment-the latter must not be con-
strued as meaning that Mr.. Holley is
going to do anything rash-but simply
that he proposes to live in solid COM
fort. Aside from his duties as notary
public, Mr.. Holley will CARRY line of
insurance representing some of the
best companies. He has also decided
to represent the celebrated De Laval
cream separator. Legal blanks, notes,
receipts, etc., may be had at his office.
