BRICK LAYING COMMENCED
ON FIRST NATIONAL BANK

The brick masons started work
yesterday on the First National
bank building, located on the
corner west of the Pioneer office
and across the street east from
Stanley Scearce's new brick big
store. This building will be of
cement brick, 24x4O, finished in
modern style and will add to the
material appearance of Roman
very much.
This institution is now occupy
ing very limited quarters, having
built a temporary shack to do
business in right after the fire,
and will appreciate getting into
more roomy quarters.
This bank has every confidence
in Roman and the surrounding
country and the people who have
made their homes here.
H. R. Larson is in charge of
the men engaged in doing the
work, having almost completed
the Stanley Scarce block in a
satisfactory manner.

ANOTHER SMALL BOY
WITH A BIG SHOTGUN

There came near being a trag-
edy to chronicle in Roman yester-
day morning. One of Harry
Burland's boys, Theodore, was
fooling with a magazine shot gun
and in some manner it was dis
charged, the shot going through
a partition in the house and into
the wood box, sending splinters
in all directions some of which
struck one of the smaller chill
dren in the face but not causing
much injury, only a few small
scratches. Theodore was so badly
frightened he grabbed two of
the children and started to a
neighbours house, and in cross
ing the creek on the way, drag
ged the child the entire distance
across the creek in the water.
The child was some wet when
he got across but was not injured,
and Theodore has received les
son he will not soon forget.

BIG STORE IS
ALMOST READY

The new Big Store is almost
ready for occupancy, and Stanley
Scarce says that he will be do
ing business in the new home by
December IA, as announced last
week. Not that all the depart
ments will be moved by that
time but the hardware, gents
furnishings, clothing, dry goods,
and all holiday goods will be in
place and on exhibition by that
date, leaving the grocery depart
ment in the old location until
probably after the first of the
year.
The only reason why he has
been delayed in moving all de-
partments to the new store is on
account of not being able to get
the shelving, it being on the way
or in the course of manufacture.
The brick work was completed
Thursday and the lower floor is
laid and the plate glass all set.
The lighting plant was started
going Thursday also, and rapid
progress is being made in the
finishing.
Christmas buyers will find the
new Big Store open on Saturday,
Dec. Ia, for all holiday goods. =
