Mr.. e. y. Knowles. member OF the
firm Of knowles and Honce has just
purchased two lots on Walnut street,
between the Hotel Granite and S. j..
Hyndman properties and is to begin a
new residence at once. 1t is to be a six
room bungalow OF brick structure.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Marshall of Ell
vaston were in Hamilton one day the
latter part OF last week inspecting re-
Gently erected houses. as well as those
in the course OF construction. The OBJ
ject OF the trip was to find ideas that
would help them to settle upon a plan
for new residence to be built by
them at Eivaston. They have recently
purchased two lots block west OF
the Elvaston Methodist church with
the intention OF building an up-to-date
home In which to retire. We under
stand that the Chute residence now
under construction over in LAKE View
Heights pleased them so we'll that the

Mr.. Willard OF North Dakota, who
with his wife, visited Mr.. and Mrs. D
H. Coffman the past summer, wrote a
short time ago they were sending
them by freight prepaid, their winter

allotted time, being about week for
the shipment to arrive, when he be-

arrive for twenty-three days, and
when they did come they were frozen.

for damages.
Harry Elder of Mderville, accom-
panied by the Messrs Jesse Ayres
and Lon Elder, drove over into Mis-.
souri, the latter part of last week to
look for farm for Mr.. Elder. 1t is
however, pretty hard for a man who
has spent a life time on an Illinois
farm to go over into northeastern
Missouri, and decide to locate there
without taking a second thought about
the move, and we understand that Har
ry is still thinking.
