The metropolitan appearance of this
city IS the source of much surprise to
visitors and it has been often heard
of visitors to compliment regarding
this highly desirable state of affairs.
While Worthington's citizens cannot
but feel good over these remarks,
still the compliments are not unde-
served for one would have to 90 a
long distance to find a more up-to-
date city, size considered, than is found

country is the farm machinery and
implement business. The time has
passed when the farmer planted and
cult ated his corn with a hoe. cut
his grass with a scytne and harvested
his SlAm with a cradle, all of which
implements could be purchased at any
country hardware store. The business
of farming has made as great advances
as any other industry in this age Of
machinery, and the farmer now requires
such a number of labor saving imple-
ments and appliances that his needs
can only be supplied by a firm deal
ing exclusively in these articles.
The Smith Implement company is an
institution that is serving the farmers
of Mobiles county we'll in this line,
carrying complete stock of machin-
cry for planting, cultivating and har-
vesting the farm crops, including corn
tools, haying machinery, harvesters,
Windmllls, wagons, vehicles and the
numerous other implements needed by
the up-to-date farmers. and their pri-
ces are always to be found light and
their dealings square. The firm is
composed of three members of we'll
known and thoroughly reliable Worth
ington family. Milton S. Smith, Robert
R. Smith and Stelle S. Smith. They

JOHN w. TUTHILL LUMBER co.,
Ole Swanson, Manager.

While investors are busily search
ing for building material that will
take the place of wood in dwellings
and other structures, and while the
use of wood may give way in part to
brick, concrete, steel and other ma
terial, still the fact remains that there
will always be more or less lumber
required to finish all buildings. The lum-
Der business will always be an impor-
tant business in any community, and
especially in country that is in a
state of higher development and where
the older buildings are being replaced
with new and better structures.
One of the old established yards OF
this section of the country is the
branch of the John W. Tuthill Lum-
Der company of Sioux Falls, which
was located here more than twenty
wears ago and which in that time has
furnished much of the lumber for the
building operations around the town
and country. The present manager
Ole Swanson. has been connected with
; the company's yard here for about ten
years. He is an experienced lumber.
man and has a wide acquaintance and
excellent business reputation among
the contractors and the people of the
town and country.

pictures has to a great extent always
been considered natural gift and it
is possessed by only a few people. A
great many times you have probably
run across photo of friend or re-
lative taken by an amateur artist or
an inexperienced photographer which
show lack of good judgment in sit
ting the subject or rather posing. Such
photograph is little better than moth
ing at all and is an injustice to the
dealers customers. One of the old
established business men of the city
is E. F.. Buchan, considered to be one
of the best photographers in this Sec
ton of the state. Mr.. Buchan has
been in business in Worthington since
1880, coming to the city when it was
but very small village, and through
his careful attention to business and
the high grade of work which he turns
out he has built up very large trade.
He has an excellent suite of rooms
especially adapted for his business and
also is the possessor of the best
makes of Photographic lenses which are
such an important factor in the de-
velopment of high grade work. Mr..
Buchan also makes a speciality of en-
larging pictures and his crayon and
colored work are incomparably super
ior to the so-caled mail order houses
or other institutions turning out this
class OF work.

THE WORTHINGTON HOSPITAL.
Drs. Manson & Geyerman.

to the enterprise of two of Worthing-
tons physicians, and at the same time
is of benefit to the people at large and
of material advantage to the town, is

About two years ago DR.. F. NJ. Man.
son became aware of the need of a
hospital in this territory, and as there
appeared to be no other way of secur-
ing such an institution, he built one
himself. The wisdom of his action can
be Judged by the fact that after only
two years the hospital is crowded and
it has been found necessary to en-
large the building, and plans TOWARD
this end are now nearly completed.
The hospital is located on the corner
of Fourth avenue and Eleventh street
The building is of the best construction
and interior finish, built with especia
reference to those needing medical anc
surgical attention. It is we'll ventilated
and lighted with sound deadening ma
terial in walls and floors, and is pro
vided with steam heat, electric lights
and modern plumbing. It is equipped
with modern electrical X-ray ant
hydrotherepeutical appliances and has
the best services of a corps of trained
nurses in charge of Miss Carrie NJ
Kinley, a graduate nurse of ten years
hospital experience. The hospital has
it's own electrical plant and is in every
way a thoroughly equipped genera
hospital.
