this town right in what Cumr
Floyd called "the dullest part OF
the week, and had considerable
trouble picking my way around
farm wagons and elbowing my
way through the crowds Of
shoppers and traders, bat finally
succeeded in reaching Hotel de-
Floyd, where lost very little
time in placing both my feet un.
der the dining room table, where
it took three WATERS and the
stable boy a good three-quarters of
an hour to supply my wants.
After supper | retired to the Of
| flee, had a smoke and a long talk
with Christy Harris, the George
Washington and General Guge of
that beautiful and enterprising
city, to whom we are indebted for
part, at least, of tins very mea-
ger description.
LaurelvilIe is situated on the
banks of Salt Greek, beautiful
and placid little stream when in
ordinary good humor, but holy
terror when mad. 1t was recent
ly on tear and before its wrath
had subsidized had cost the city
thousands upon thousands of
dollars. 1t wasn't partial, eitEe' :,
for every resident along it's course
had to stand for his share, and it
WASH handed out in meopathic
doses, either.
Ex-Probate Judge Riason is the
chief executive, and seems to | e
giving complete satisfaction.
The lid is on and Jake Riason is
sitting on the lid, with George
Haynes, the efficient marshal, rid
ing astradle Bern Friend and
Mart Polling have taken good
look at this double combination
lock on the lid and just simply
stake their heads and wink the
other eye.
w, Dawson is the very efficient
clerk and NJ. w. Alstadt, the care
full and dependable treasurer.
The council consists of Nels Arm
strong, Dick Shaw, VIM. Hale,
Henry Erumm.
The Laurelville council is an
unusually able body, careful,
economical and enterprising, an
exceptionally progressing body.
1t has been decided by them that
the stone wall along the curve in
Salt Greek at the Eodson property
was more or less responsible for
the extraordinary damage by the
rt cent flood, and they lost no time
in purchasing the Dodson property.
A channel will be cut straight
through the Dodson property to
the Pickaway bridge and levies
thrown up on both sides. This,
it is claimed, will prevent the
water from running through and
cutting up the streets and damag-
ing private property. This will
cost the little city mint of
money, but is considered very
small matter figuring on the satis-
faction gained, in cases of flood,
from fear Of loss of life and |
1t is good move.
The city and country has an al
most complete telephone system,
every farmer with radius of seven
miles of the city is supp led In
the course of two or three weeks !
onnection will be made with the
Citizens Telephone Co. of Logan,
which will give them direct and
instantaneous service with the
county seat. Bert Polling is at
the head of the system, assurance
IF prompt, faithful and honest
service.
The Salt Creek Valley Bank
takes good care of the financial
of the city and bust
ness. 1t is good, safe institu-
lion and is capitalized at $25, 900
with a personal security of half
, million. They do general and
he usual banking business and
nave an extraordinary large de-
losit. Everybody for miles around
deposits and does business with
The Salt Greek Valley Bank, be.
.ause of its convenience and safety.
