The Busy Little Town of Deo and its shipping Facilities

Deloit is very busy little town.
It's shipping facilities are fine as we
have the G. & N. w. and the l. c..
railroads. Team after team in long
professions often come in town from
among the thriving farmers with loads
OF hogs, and we see great herds of
cattle brought in to ship. They are
shipped mainly to Chicago, some to
Omaha. The railroads afford good
ing. One can leave here early in the
morning and spend several hours in
Denison and return in the evening.
We are justly proud Of our little
town. We have one general store
owned by f. A. and J. w. True. The
dry goods department is in charge Of
Mrs. F. A. True Miss Edith Dobson
assisting, who has been clerking for
them for the past three years which is
a good recommendation for her. Near
ly everything one needs in the dry
goods line may be found there. The
grocery and hardware department is
in charge of J. w. True who has an
eye for business and is always ready
to please his customers. He is as
sisted by William Morley who has
been in their employ the past four
years. The True Mercantile Co. also
have an implement building where
all kinds of machinery can be bought.
J. w. True has charge of this. The
long distance telephone is installed
in their store, also the Crawford Co.
and the Farmers.
Thou xyo bovo Movorc ~, nv,
terprising young merchant who car.
rles groceries, dry goods, shoes etc.
He has nice line of goods and is al
ways pleasant and ready to wait on
customers. He delivers goods over
the town twice day at eleven and
four o'clock which the people of town
greatly appreciate.
Mrs. A. Prentice and daughter Mrs.
L. Childress is post mistress and as
sistant and have line of groceries,
novelties and stationary etc. These
ladies are among the busy ones taking
care of Uncle Sans business and
waiting on trade. They are always
alert to please their customers. B.
E. McKim is Rural Carrier and the past
seven years we think his record for
losing days on account of bad roads
and weather cannot be beaten.
Doctor N. N. Smith is occupying a
new building neatly equipped for a
Doctors office and is enjoying a good
practice.
The old bank building is being used
by our young men as place of amuse-
ment where they do all kinds of gym
nasium stunts. Over head is the True
Mercantile hall. This hall is used by
the Modern Brotherhood of America
lodge for their meetings also the Mod
ern W0Odmen, and the Brotherhood of
America Yeomen lodges.
A large hall under the Management of
company of Germans has been erect
ed which is large and commodious for
all kinds of gatherings and is a great
help to the town.
Restaurant is almost completed and
will soon be ready for business Mrs.
Hess and Mrs. Noeks do dressmaking
and are kept busy.
We have one of the incest little
banks made Of brick and is fire proof
and a great credit to the town. The
door and fixtures to the vault are
made of very heavy steel, a great in
vention and very expensive which can
only meet the admiration of all who
see it. The bank is in charge of Mr..
Guy Martin and is doing good bus
mess and we greatly appreciate it's
benefits. Hereafter people will not
be required to go to Denison to pay
their taxes as Mr. Martin has arrang-
ed so the people may pay their taxes
at the bank here which will make it
much more convenient Mr. Martin
is also a good musician and is giving
music lessons on different instruments
and is a great help to our band.
Myron Meyers is still our genial
barber and is equipped with new barber
fixtures large glass that all may see
what manner of man he Isl, large
town directory of the business places
may be read there neatly painted on
a large sign. Mearl assists in the
shop on Saturdays and both are kept
busy.
The cream station is in charge of
Guy Johnson. young man of good
habits who has been in the employ of
the creamery company for the past
few years. The territory around De-
lott makes a great deal selling cream
and find it much easier and more
profitable than to make butter.
