Extra. ..-.. Is.
The railroad company expects to en-
large the depot, the freight room be
ing entirely too small for the amoun
of freight which comes here. TIL,
freight for Kimballton and Elkhorn il
unloaded here and it is necessary tt
store this as it Is quite often imposs
ible for the parties to whom the freigh
is shipped, to deliver it upon arrival
Some of the sidewalks on main stree
are very much in need Of repair. II
the Rock Island Company would builC
a side walk from the depot to mali
street, to which their property ex
tends, the town would be willing to ex
tend it's walk TO meet it. This woul'
be a great convenience to the patron
of the railroad and we think the. com
pany owes it to them. $N
Hans Miller, our harness maker, il
