Take Notice.

From this date, September The Sth,
we will not and can not accept any
more custom work in our planning mill.
The demand for our own material is
so heavy that it is beyond our power
to continue the policy we have here
tofore used. The change of machinery
for so many little bills prevents US
from meeting the demands for our
own manufactured products, hence the
necessity for dropping custom work.
We will at all times be in position to
furnish anything III dressed lumber
needed in this section and will buy
your lumber at market price All lum-
Der Oh our yards will be worked as
ordered but 10 more will be accepted.
Yours Truly,

Defacing public buildings is prac-
tice that should be stopped. Some
people so far forget themselves as to
mark the walls of the court building,
and we are told that the school build
ings have not escaped. Some do the
marking upon the sly, knowing that
it is not the proper act, while others
who pride in their hand writing leave
their names. Those who leave their
autographs are unacquainted with the
old adage: Fools names like their
faces, always seen in public places. y
A public building should be respected
same as the home.
