Miss Rosa Harrison has purchased
the Joyce millinery store and will con-
tinue TO conduct an up-to-date establish
ment at the old stand in the Friedman
building. Miss Harrison has had con-
siderable experience in the business, and
expects in short time to engage an ex-
pert trimmer for the spring trade. In
the meantime there are many fine bar
gains in hats, ribbons and trimmings left
over from the special sale, which will go
at prices way below cost.

the State is building, when the following
advice will be good to remember: "That
old adage is good one to bear in mind,
when travelling on the macadam road.
With railroad teaming and local teaming
combined the new road is receiving a
hard test. A deep rut has thus been cut
by the wheels, as everyone travels the
one track. Every teamster who desires
to see the road preserved should keep out
of the rut and let the wear come in other
places on the road"
