real lion of him The fact that Lieu
tenant Shackleton went farther south
than any explorer had gone before and
nearer to the south pole than any one
has yet gone to the north pole gives
the English public something to crow
about. The point he reached in his
antarctic exploration was only Ill
miles from the south pole. His expe-
ditfon has resulted in adding much to
polar lore. and he concludes that the
south pole is situated on plateau
10000 to 1900 feet above sea level.

The Emporium Drug Company

The Emporium Drug Company
A new firm-the Emporium Drug
Company-has assumed charge of the
old and popular drug store, so success
fully conducted during the past tW enty-
four years by Mrs. NJ. a. Rockwell.
The firm is composed of E. w. Yeagle,
"a nephew Of Mrs. Rockwell, who
several years ago was in her employ
F. j. Kline and II. j. Volmer, the two
former being practical druggists, are
busy thoroughly remodeling the
interior and refurnishing the store
with up-to-date fittings. During the
time the new work is being put in the
store will remain closed. When open
ed for business, Mr.. f. J. Kline, Jr.,
will have charge of the business and
being a practical pharmacist, will no
doubt be cordially received by Mrs.
Rockwell's patrons, and maintain the
excellent reputation of this old and
popular house. The new firm are all
young and active men and wide awake
to the wants of the times.
The retirement of Mrs. Rockwell
after twenty-four years of incessant
work is regretted by her patrons, who
always looked upon her work as relia.
BILE and satisfactory. No prescription
ever left her store with the least sus-
picion of error. While we, as we'll as
our citizens generally, regret to have
her retire from business, yet we cannot
blame her. She has, early and late,
stood to her post and realized the am
bition of her life. That she will enjoy
the fruits of her long life of toll, having
accumulated considerable property
and can take solid solid comfort, we
are glad. She deserves it, for no one
has worked barker than Mrs. Rockwell
and we want to see her have all the
pleasures of this good old world.
