VIM Higday of Oklahoma Is visiting
at the home OF his brother, b. A. Hig-
day. Mr. Higday was pioneer settler
and his many friends and relatives here
are pleased to see him after an absence
of nearly forty years.
Soon after noon on Tuesday an alarm
ton proved to be a small blaze in the
stripping room owned by E e Smith,
located south of town near the fair
grounds. The fire was soon under con-
troll and the building was damaged but
slightly.
We have heard of some of our auto
drivers running over dogs and thereby
killing them, but the last one was a hog
which was killed few days ago. The
owner wanted very high price for the
porker, which the auto owner declined
pay. However, a just settlement was
reached.
While putting up some storm windows
at his house Saturday, the ladder upon
which John Bly, was standing slipped
from under him with the result that he
took fall and broke one of the bones in
his ankle. At this season of the year
the accident is most unfortunate, as it
will lay him up for some time.
When the wirds shrek high in fiendish
glee,
And enters winter with his key
Protect yourself, from disease be free;
Take HOLSTERS Rocky Mountain Tea.

Another Promise of the Interurban Road.
Fl. Fl. Zigler OF Columb Ohio, who
represents a large corporation that
builds interurban roads, arrived in
GAINESVILLE last week for consultation
with several business men on matters
relative to the proposed Madison James
vile interurban. Mr.. Zigler came here
from Battle Creek, Mich, where his
company has just completed the grad
ing on the road which will be in opera
ton next July between that city and
ColdWate
In speaking of the proposed road of
interest to GAINESVILLE people, Mr.. Zigler
said: -Four of the members of our COR
poration are bankers, doing extensive
business in the east. These gentlemen
profess to understand the financial sit
uation better than the laymen and are
confident that the present tightness of
money will be over by the middle OF
January or the first Of February at the
latest and that all sorts of money will be
ready for any sort.of legitimate enter
prise.
"My trip here is simply to gather up
few threads preparatory to my coming
here in January, about the middle of
the month, to make my headquarters
until the road is built. Just where we
shall run is not yet decided upon diff
nately It may be through Milton and
thence to Edgerton, and it may be along,
the river to Indian Ford and then on to
Edgerton. [ have spent six months on
this proposition and have the line pretty
we'll mapped out, but until our engineers
decide would not care to make it public.
Il am confident that the road from
Madison to GAINESVILLE will be built un-
less something unforeseen happens to the
money market in the immediate future.
We would have been here earlier as
planned, only we waited to rush our
Battle Creek proposition along so that
the cars will be running early in the
summer"
Mr.. Zigler is in close touch with the
leading financial men of the country and
says that the feeling of unrest that was
so prevalent few weeks ago is now CIV
ing way to one of confidence. He takes
the word of men high in the world of
banking that by February first at the
latest all will be settled down as for
merly, only on different value basis
