STATE LINE HOTEL

When Mr.. and Mrs. Heath first
came to Beach they were located in
the section house and while there
started a boarding house. This
was the only place where a traveller
could get square meal during the
early days. In July, 1906, the pres
ent large building was erected and
Mrs. N. A. Heath took charge of
Beach's first and only hotel, which
is shown on another page. The
building is 46x76 and contains
about 20 rooms. Since it's estab-
lishment it has been crowded every
night, by numerous people that
have been coming and going from
our busy little city.

LAUGHNAN & sTOCKWELL

In November, 1907, the late Mark

chased an interest in the business

many of our other business men.
the first structure was not large
enough and he has since added a
warehouse on the original build
ing making it the full length of the
lot, and also purchased the old
warehouse formerly used by the
Beach Mercantile Company. Mr..
Lowell has done This share of the
hardware and machinery business
and is loud in his praises of Beach
and the country. Mr.. Lowell is
also an auto fiend and what he
doesn't know about ,one of t. Sc
skunk wagons wouldn't be worth
mentioning. and consequently he is
being continually visited by the
newer members of the automobile
fraternity when their machines go
wrong. He brought the firts auto
to Beach and since that time has
been the owner of four different
cars, the last investment being
large four passenger Chamers-De-

Mr.. Lowell is married man and
his family occupy the rooms over
the store, which is shown else

COTTON WOLFE SERVICEABLE
FOR TRAVELLING IN
SUMMER

one Of the most serviceable frocks TO
have for sImmer trips is cotton wolfe
in a gray and black stripe or check
This is made without lining, is simply
trimmed and is fastened down the front
in one piece.
The ones fastened IN the front are
much easier 70 adjust than those made
as blouse and skirt, fastened at back
and hooked together at the belt. These
go over this head in one piece. have the
belt attached, the front Of the blouse
usually fastened invisibly and the skirt
through with braid buttons.
The tight, plain gored skirts are not
very pretty in this thin material The
better model has fine tucks 10 1T IL TO

This method has taken the place OF

than TO run a row OF gathers at the

those who take trips. but to those who

also serves for driving and automobiling.
The newest cut is slightly on the bias,
which gives a more rOomy skirt, and

The travelling public which uses

Mrs. Daniel T. Donohoe. Of Capitol HILL
Sister Denise was widely known in

vent, thirteen years ago.
She was a Washington girl and was
educated at St Cecilia's Academy. She
was fun of spirit and her sunny dispo-
sitiOn drew around her hosts Of friends,
who continued their interest in her dur
ing her convent life.
Sister Denise attended to her regular
duties at the convent last Sunday. The
doctors had decided that an operation
would be necessary for a goiter which
had troubled her for a year. Everyone
but the young nun herself knew how
serious the operation was to be. and
the mother superior OF the convent,
who was devotedly attached 10 Sister
Denise. was loath to have the operation
performed. fearing that her death might
result.
She was Informed by the doctors that
IF these steps were not taken Sister
Denise could not live longer than a
month. ana the operation held out a
chance for her recovery.
The mother superior consented, but
Sister Denise was not told when it was
TO be. DR.. Vaughn and four assistant
surgeons performed the operation, which
was Notwithstanding the eye, the
throat. and cords leading to the heart
After two hours in the operating room
Sister Denise regained consciousness,

that although she probably would be
ill several weeks. she felt confident that
everything would come out all right

FOR HOME IMPROVEMENT.
Necessity Of Harmonious co-opera.
tion on Part Of All Citizens.

Towns in agricultural districts ap-
parently are awakening to the impor-
tance of organizing clubs and associa-
tions for the purpose of public i'm
provements and the protection of
home industries. The field for work
Is broad. 1t is. the business of the
town that makes the place of impor-
tance. Any institution that will give
employment to labor, that will bring
more people and more capital to any
town is thing to be desired. Many
towns in which commercial clubs have
been lately organized, have a wide
field in the simple mater OF keeping
the people of the town and surround
ing country from sending money to
other cities for supplies of various
kinds that can as well be purchased
at home. Every dollar sent to mail
order house or department store In
another city impoverishes the town
Just so much. II is the business men
of the small towns who pay the taxes,
support the churches and schools, not
the far-off mail-order hor4s, and they
are deserving of all the trade OF their
home place. Don't try to bring new
business establishments to your town
until local evils are remedied.
