Thornton & Company
Expand Business

To accommodate their growing
business the firm Of A. X. Thornton
& Sons for the past ten days have
had force of mechanics tearing out
the partition dividing their main store
from the room on the north and for
merly occupied by Mrs. Helen Car
son. The new room/will give Thorn
toms almost double their former space
and will place them In most excellent
quarters.
The new arrangement inside is up
to-date In all respects and will en-
able the merchants to make much
better display of their goods. Thorn
ton e. Co. will add materially to their
present stock and will also add sew
eral lines Of goods not heretofore
carried. They will increase their dry
goods and put in stock OF mems
and boys suits. The grocery depart
ment, which was one Of the most
apetite-creating displays In the coun-
~, has been moved into the new
quarters. which will also include q
line Of dishes and Dotional hardware
There is no good reason why any
Pleasant Grove money should go out
of town for goods. particularly II
local merchants will avail themselves
Of the opportunities taken by outside
merchants to tell the people what
they have to sell.

plaintiff alleges defendants have
wrongfully converted to their own

Plaintiff alleges that defendants, at
Pleasant Grove, on March 20, 1913,
induced plaintiff, pretending to be
great friends of plaintiff" to leave her
own home and come and live with
them; this she did, and her effects
we're moved to defendants home.
Plaintiff charges that soon thereafter
defendants began to treat her In a
cruel, inhuman manner and finally
caused her to be placed In the county
poorhouse, and that while she was
there defendants broke open her
trunks and boxes and converted their
contents to their own use and still
retain and refuse to return them
