GRANVILLE GLEANINGS
By Sunny jim"

DR.. F. X. Kolb Of Granville recently
returned from Chicago where he has
been taking a special post graduate
course in the hospitals. His family
accompanied him and visited relatives
at points in Wisconsin. The doctor
has been gone for two months and
says that the crops here in North Da-
kota were a revelation to him, being
much superior to the average crops
back east.
J. H. Levi of Granville was very en-
thusiastic in describing the many at
fractions at the state fair this year
He tells US of porker he say there
that tipped the beam at over l'ooo
pounds.
The Granville Implement company
have made very extensive improve
ments since our last visit. Having
purchased the property formerly oc-
cupied by the Farmers Cash store
They have completely remodeied the
building, painted the front, added the
most up to date fixtures and now nave
one of the finest hardware stores TIC
be found anywhere in this section
of the state. The Clark building ad,
Joining has been leased by them and
is filled with repair parts, BINDER
Irvine, etc. These properties fronting
n Main street are operated IN con-
nection with their large implement
house and show rooms which are ope
on a side street, giving them by far
the largest and most complete estab,
lishment in McHenry county. MesrS
Bacon & Burr are accommodating
and careful business men and ENJOY
splendid trade among farmers 1ol
miles around Granville. They are
handling the Maxwell auto this yeaI
with excellent success. They are now
building an electric light plant, the
old one having proved inadequate
since the enlargement of their bus
mess quarters. They are now m
stalling a plant that will be large
enough to light the city. and we pre-
dict that soon Granvllians will he
boasting of their own white way.
