Dial BOttIine Works Change Hands.

During the past week the Dial
Brothers bottling works passed into
the hands of George Webster, VINO
formerly owned half interest in the
enterprise. The cause of the change
was on account of the firm running
behind and not being able to meet it's
obligations. The amount of indebt-
edness is not known, but the plant
and works were turned over to sat
isfy mortgage.
The works were closed several days
pending business arrangements and
on Tuesday of this week they were
opened again by Mr.. Webster as
owner. A. A. Coleman. a tirst-class
bother and who has had considerable
experience in the manufacture of
soda and other soft drinks, will have
charge of the works in the future.

ing and before they knew it they
were off with the circus. Dry bread
and water for breakfast, dinner and

well and Hugh and MOder caught the
freight Tuesday and came back home.
Balm remained with them and will
stick until he reaches Frisco.
The reporter has not seen the boys
since their return, but it is reported
that theywill stay here until the Ring
ling circus comes along before they
will tackle it again.

Increase in Clifton Registration.

The registration in Clifton. As pre-
dicted by the ERA some time ago,
shows an increase over that of two
years At the close of the regiStra-
ton on October 18th the total was
$40, against 1872 two years ago. The
increase is not as large as the ERA
expected due perhaps to the fact that
many new people living here are not
at all interested in politics. As no
tab was kept on party lines it is i'm
possible to guess which party has the
best of it. However, politics are not
going to cut much ice this time, as
very few of the people are talking
about voting straight. The races
for the various offices are going to be
a general mixture this time, and as
both parties have selected good men,
the result is bound to be satisfactory
to the taxpayers.
