The new addition to the Clifton
postOffice was commenced last week

Ever since the A. c. company built
a dam across Chase creek at the up
per end of the supply warehouse, the
ERA reporter has been watching the
action of the lower part of the chan
mel. When the dam was built it was
announced that it would prevent the
lower part of the channel from filing
up and so far the plan has worked
like a charm. Up to the present
time the dam has been a benefit to
the lower part of the creek, as here
tofore it has continually filed up.
1t will be remembered by old timers
that the county road formerly
passed under the railroad bridge. At
that time the track was lower than
it is now and it was possible for
wagon loaded with hay to pass under
the bridge. Hence it will be seen
that within the past eight years the
creek bed has filled up about ten
feet.

things interesting. The return game
at baseball between the same teams
will take place on the diamond next
Sunday and of course it will be a most
interesting contest. People who en-
joy baseball should not miss the game.

a large attendance of friends, many
of whom accompanied the remains to
their resting place in the Masonic
cemetery.
By his death the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Emerson has been pluoked of
one of its bright flowers and the en-
tire community bows its head in deep
est sympathy to the bereaved family.
