Hon. Dave e. Milroy. that princely
little gentleman who is president of
the Barnes mine was visitor to
Central last week and nearly shook
his good right arm off greeting his
numerous friends about town. In COM
pany with Count Jensen and DR.. Mill
man the Honorable David circulat-
ed about town and was given the
glad hand by one and all. Dave is
full of information as a prune is of
energy. He is the best single hand
ed talker who ever struck Central
and he only has to be introduced in
to any community once when all the
inhabitants are referring to him by
his front name, for Dave is mixer
and gentleman and when he strikes
town he is a general favorite. He
was as busy as cat in a molasses
barrel for several days inspecting the
property and conversing with his
friends and then he bade the town
reluctant farewell. For Dave is
firm believer in the future of Cen
trail and he is satisfied that the
Barnes property has been we'll de-
serving of his faith.
