OOBSON IS BANKRUPTED
Hammond Merchant Saws
He Has Debts Amount
ing to $4,000.

One of the unmistabable signs Of
spring is the fact that Morris Dobson
has gone into bankruptcy. He Just
dropped around at the office of Referee
in Bankruptcy John o. Bowers in the
course Of his daily activities and in
formed that official that he owes in the
neighborhood of $4,000 and hasn't got a
cent to show for it,
on Dec 81. 1906. Mrs. Dobson did
likewise, and the creditors had to chalk
down several thousands of dollars on
the profit and loss account Mr.. Doh
son recently had a sale. at which he
disposed of a large amount of the
goods which he had left in his little
store on Holman street
He Strengthened things up the best
he could with what he could realize
from the sale and then he went INTO
bankruptcy Mr. Dobson will take
vacation in the east and in few
months he will be ready to go into
business again.

improvements at West Hickory.

Harry H. Smith, the son of Capt. and
Mrs. Perry r. Smith, of this place, who
bought the tannery at Hickory, Forest
County, some months ago, is making
wonderful improvements in that village.
The tannery has been remodeled and
made modern in every respect, and now
the residences are being remodeled and
repaired in fine shape. G. A. Newburg,
the Ridgway contracting carpenter, is do
ing the carpenter work, and S. w. Miles
and Nels A. Johnson, both of this place,
have the contract for doing the plastering.
Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Miles leave this
afternoon on the 5:35 train for Hickory to
begin their contract. Aaron Segerstrom,
OF this place, will also lay several thous-
and feet of water line for the protection Of
the property from fire. Mr.. Smith is
having a fine residence built for himself
and will move his family from Ridgway
to Hickory in the near future. We are
sorry to lose them, but wish them success
in their new home. Harry has secured a
good education and then served an APP
premiership at the tanning business,
hence We have no doubt be will make a
big success OF the tanning business like
his father did before him. -Ridgway Ad-

The Musical Clubs Open Meeting.

One of the prettiest entertainments that
a Tionests audience has had the pleasure
of attending in many a day was given by
the Musical Club last Friday evening in
the lecture room of the Presbyterian
church, when this organization OF accom-
plished musicians held an open meeting
which closed their program for the past
year. The Club had arranged a seating
capacity of n hundred, and we believe
there were no vacant chairs during the
rendering of the well arranged program,
which was as follows:

al order, as was also the rendering of the
same, every number receiving a full
NEED OF applause by the appreciatlve and
delighted audience. Mrs. Cora Felt,
whose rendition of Whites "Spring has
Come displayed her strong rich voice to
excellent advantage, was obliged to re-
spond to an encore The instru mental
duets and solos by Miss June Herman,
Mrs. James n. Davis, Misses Elya and
Olive Lanson, and Miss Edith Hopkins,
were of a character that must have pleased
the most critical ear, and with which ever
the higher critics would have been dc.
lighted. The choruses by the club mem.
bers were faultlessly rendered and fairly
~captlvated the audience, while Prof. Gills
contributions were of the usual sweet,
ness and melody. One feature that was
not on the regular program, but was Civ,
en- as a pleasing surprise to the audience
was the whistling of Mrs. Benjamin
Kelly Of Chicago. Mrs. Kelly was mo-
permitted to escape with one selection.
but was promptly recalled, and she fairly
electrified her hearers with another selec.
ton, and demonstrated with consummatt
skill what could be accomplished in thi'
new musical art. A voluntary silver Of
fering Melted the Eudeavor Ssciety a neat
sum for their treasury.
At the conclusion of the program the
audience was invited TO remain for q
short social session, during which the
Club served a refreshing treat in the
nature Of orange frappe and waters. The
entertainment was a royal success in
every way, and the appreciatiye audienes
enjoyed every minute of the time.
