Chronicle, Ala, Oct. %, Watch
us While we Grow. "Citronelle in
the Pines is spreading herself, and
if she continues to grow in any de-
gree commensurate with the fond
and nourished expectations of her
promoters, she will soon be In the
pines sure enough.
She is already City of Magnifi-
cent Distances" (having within her
corporate bounds large farms and
stock ranches); but Notwithstanding
our people want water works and
electric lights, and we are going to
have them even if we have to bond
the town and extend the corporate
limits to take In Dog River and a
goodly slice of Mississippi. However,
there will be no necessity of doing
this. A subscription list has already
been started for the purpose and our
citizens are falling pell-mell over each
other in the scramble to head the
list. In fact a sufficient amount to
insure water works and electric lights
was subscribed before the subscrip-
ton list wa circulated That's the
way we do business in "Citronelle In
the Pines. y
BY the time the frosted-whiskered
influx of denizens from the north
begin to pour in, our lights will be
trimmed and burning, andas they
twinkle amopg The aighiSifFsra66ad sway
ing pines, there will be no nee6
of singing, Show Me- The Way To
| Co. Home
But while electric lights and wa
ter works may seemingly appear pro
lspective, there are other improve
ments duly materializing. Editol
lC. W. Thomas has recently installed
in the Chronicle Call Office q large
four-ton Whitlock cylinder press
which has the capacity of printing
| 2500 copies of his paper per hour
He also has two of the best standard
makes of job presses, which, under
the supervision of his foreman, Jos
Allen, gives him one of the best
Equipped printing Offices in Alabama.
At present Mr.. Thomas is In Iowa
visiting his parents.
| Another new enterprise that Cit.
ronelle can proudly boast of, is Mr..
Willough Collins power sausage and
meat grinder. 1t is purely product
of Mr. Collins own inventive genius
and runs automatically, grinding
out from 100 TO 200 pounds of sau-
sage or hamburger steak per hour.
The only difficulty Mr.. Collins ex-
Iperiences with his machine is to get
it to stop, but he, hopes to surmount
this defect by replacing it with q
new machine OF more modern pat
tern.
In the absence of his brother, who
is touring the Eastern states on a
pleasure trip, Mr.. Earl Meyers is in
full charge of the Meyer Drug Co.
Earl would make drawing card for
any business, as he Is polished in
manners, very accommodating, and in
looks, so pretty that his face aches
in envy of its beauty.
Miss Mamie, the wifls0me and
charming little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. C. Rodiger, is attending the
Sisters school in Mobile. She is q
general favorite in Chronicle, and
her happy face is greatly missed by
both old and young.
Mr. Carl Draper, the city barber,
is young man wholly unsuspectible
to flattery One Of his former pa
irons came all the way from Illinois
to have him cut his hair, which Carl
says is nothing unsual as they also
come to him from New York and
other places when they desire the SER
vices of strictly frst-class artist.
Mr.. Frank McConn. the bycicle
doctor, has taken up his residence in
Mobile. Frank says Chronicle is in
too close.proximity to the place that
rhymes with It's name, to suit him.
More anon. PAUL.
